It's pretty pathetic, the party that can't control Trump steaks and Trump wine thinks it can do a better job than the Democrats who are fronting two credible candidates.

oh good, then all of the idiots that keep going to rallies for people that they hate with the intention of being disruptive, should rather attend the rallies of either the criminal of communist and support them in a positive way so as to get them easily elected over the racist, bigot something or other and no one will get arrested or beat up...that would be "peaceful assembly" <<<<ACTUALLY AN ENUMERATED RIGHT

because right now there's no one showing up at bernie and hill rallies/primaries and everyone is at the Trump rally and he's not even giving away free stuff

hell, Spence is counting on conservatives staying home in the general in order to elect a dem which is hilarious

I'd love to see the GOP clean house and come up with some good people who were not beholden to special interests and were willing to vote on bills that would better the country and not just their own interests. I'd even vote for them. But I don't see it happening soon.

So you're saying all the Republican politicians are bad people?

who were not beholden to special interests

That's an unrealistic request. Party politics is all about special interests. Did you read that article that Spence posted by "unbiased" real honest-to-gosh political scientists who felt it was their civic duty to point out to voters the real true statistics that showed which party benefited them most so they could vote accordingly?

and were willing to vote on bills that would better the country and not just their own interests. I'd even vote for them. But I don't see it happening soon.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
Isn't your notion of what "would better the country" influenced by the issues and interests which you personally believe would be beneficial? Isn't it that which interests you, "your own interests," which decides for you what is good or not?

Wouldn't it be better for the country if, instead of creating bills that favor this or that group, they stuck to legislation which did not infringe on unalienable rights? And wouldn't it be better if government would quit creating rights which they dole out and control? And better if it would be less invasive in our lives and leave more control over ourselves to us?

hey...we were told the Teleprompter Twit with no practical experience would "grow" into the job....that never happened but can't we imagine Trump could grow into the job even if Obama couldn't...maybe get some top advisers like Al Sharpton and whoever is in charge of America's Union Thugs at the time, whoever has been advising Obama on foreign policy sucks, so Trump can only do better I suppose.....maybe they'll put him on teleprompter after he wins the nomination so he'll stay on message like they did Barry and wifey...

love how the folks that have set the bar so low and who have invested so much authority into the Presidency are now apoplectic that someone like Trump might take the reigns


there is a message and a lesson there somewhere

Amazing hysteria on the left currently on Social Media - they are VERY WORRIED about Trump. The independent vote has moved right. I think many will be jumping off a cliff soon.

Considering he's had a GOP hell bent on opposing policy and destroying his character I'd say O has had a pretty rough time. Thinking about where he started though history is likely to be pretty kind to his legacy...

Here's the full quote:

Quote:
After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. In five days, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, and create new jobs, and grow this economy, so that everyone has a chance to succeed, not just the CEO, but the secretary and janitor, not just the factory owner, but the men and women on the factory floor. In five days, you can put an end to the politics that would divide a nation just to win an election, that tries to pit region against region, and city against town, and Republican against Democrat, that asks -- asks us to fear at a time when we need to hope.
