Ok Jim, so denigrating and mocking veterans up holding the Constitution is just style point to you. Kind of like our troops in Iraq recently that had a few headaches. Style points. Enjoy your money.

how could it? everything is his fault, starting with the Chicago fire and going at least through the next few recessions. regardless of when they occur or what triggers them.

oh, and Trump is FINALLY talking about meaningful spending cuts to address his stupid deficits. He’s trying to actually do things.

you’re all desperate to ignore the economy, because you can’t handle the job economic success ushered by a guy you despise. but regular people aren’t going to pretend the economy isn’t doing well.

Our national security is at great risk when people doing their job to report intelligence critical to our national security, are fired because Trump doesn’t like the intel they have shared. Shoot the messenger and put a raving Trump loyalist with zero ability to run the most important agency protecting our national security, sure you understand our national security isn’t just tied to some campaign promise wall?

our national security is a lot
more than a wall. it’s also a lot more than what i admit is a disturbing revolving door of those reporting directly to trump. our national security is a lot
more than senior level political appointees. it’s mostly determined by dedicated heroes far removed from trump, whose boots are on the ground. thank goodness. most people working for our security, are dedicated to their jobs regardless of their feelings for the president.

If there’s actual national security failures, i’ll be the very first to blame trump. However, i’m not going to blame him for speculative failures that haven’t happened. I’ll judge him by what has actually happened. Results, not style.

These speculative failures are never seen in real time , from presidential action . And yes our national security is handled by many people below senior leadership.

But leadership Matters,especially when that leadership is being directed to cut off congressional information, to protect Trumps campaign above informing our elected representatives. Or even worse just 1 side of the aisle

If the Kremlin is supporting your candidate, it’s because it sees your candidate as a means of weakening America and strengthening itself.

If you find yourself supporting such a candidate, it’s time to take a step back, learn why and choose someone else.

No manipulation of an election going on there.
