Founded on what, rape, murder Sharia Law and no assimilation by immigrants ? Spence you know better than that.
The way things are going with Obama, there will be nothing left for Trump
or anyone else to tear down or build up.
We have become a shell of a great country since he made his apology tour and Hillary hit the reset button and became all about bleeding heart, PC /BS.

I love it "a shell of a great country."
This is likely why the GOP would lose this election. People know that this country is indeed still pretty great, in fact, it's the best. These Republican candidates running around in a fabricated malaise moaning about how awful and terrible everything is really look pretty foolish.
At least most have stopped blaming the gays.

Seriously, watching these Republicans on the stump I'm wondering if the entire show was scripted by Dante himself.

Why do we need to fundamentally transform what is great? Is it not great enough? Not even in some basic sense? FUDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM? I guess greatness is in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe Obama and justplugit agree about something.
Maybe Eben would say that "great" is a buzzword of fools.

Clearly it's not great or it wouldn't need to be transformed.
I had no idea my Country sucked so bad. This is going to take some time to process...

Lets start with what your definition, not Webster, of what you think greatness is.

I take it you don't have a problem with Obama apologizing to the world about America then. In his eyes were not the best and need fundamental change.
You also apparently have no problem with him saying America is the only country that has mass shootings , which is a complete lie
. Seeing how you and Obama see America through the same eyes. You clearly don't think America is the best .
You're gay statement offends me

Here's the thing, his outreach to the Muslim world didn't tell them anything they didn't already know. I think it was a bit of a surprise to many Americans though.
The mass shootings remark wasn't a lie. The context was that developed nations don't incur nearly what we do...and that's a fact.

More likely the GOP would lose because there are more Moochers, thanks for reminding me of the description, detbuch,than those who are ambitious , like to work, be independent, and support themselves.

There are exponentially many more moochers in poverty that the very wealthy. And the wealthy pay most of the taxes from which everybody mooches. Even the very wealthy have a means to actually generate income than those in poverty.
And so what?
Apples and oranges. Different context.
