    A steaming pile of Democratic Party foreign policy.

    I remember why I have Mags on mute on Twitter. Also Trump just lost the election since people won't vote to censor their pornhubs and xvideos.

    I mostly just read and do my best to stay out of the arguing that can go on in this board, now while Trump does seem to be a little extreme, remember he is not a full time politician. He is far better than what we have put up with for the last 7 years. I find it interesting how both sides are so far apart in what they think. It would be great if both sides moved back towards the middell so it would be possible for members of the opposing party could vote for either side.
    It does not seem possible to continue spending money the way we have been, dems seem worse than republicans but both need to scale back a lot. I believe more in Trumps plan to move forward than I do Obama's. For Hillary while a woman would be welcome for president, she is not the right one. I do hope she ends up being indicted for Benghazi, and her email scandal. Some day the Clinton foundation will come under fire and eventually the truth about payoffs may come out. Again how many promises about open government did Obama run on, he would have lost reelection if the truth about Benghazi could have come out before the election. I am concerned weather Trump can beat Clinton.
    The final word on this rant would be that our media should be neutral and try and just report the news, not there version or slant. Goes for both sides.

    So, you want both sides to come to the middle, yet you support Trump? Moving towards the middle starts at home. Trump is an extremist on most issues.

    Obama is not a radical. He's pretty mainstream democrat.

    I support the Republicans more than I do the Dems. I think Trump could be good for our economy and eliminating a lot of rules that make it where the US has a tough time competing with all the countries in the world. A lot of what he says hits a nerve with the people of this country, mainly because Obama has give the voters on the right the middle finger.
    To me I would probably lean to Cruz, has a little more of the political polish that Trump does not have. Either way both parties have moved to the extremes. Barfo is Hillary really a good choice for you or is she all you are offered. The Clinton machine kept most from entering the race against her.

    First, I wasn't the one calling for people to move to the middle.

    Second, claiming that Obama is an extremist is simply trolling, it has no basis in fact whatsoever. As you know perfectly well. If he's an extremist, then all of the Democratic party are extremists. Which is a silly claim.

    I am sure some in the Democratic party are closer to the middle, they were just reluctant to run against Hillary and co. Don't think Obama is an extremist any more than Trump is. Just have not liked the last 7 years so much under Obama. I do believe the world looks at the US as weak at this time.Trump would change that by just being brash and unpredictable.

    Always the joker.

    The reality is democrat mainstream is as left as republican mainstream is right. Neither extreme is good for the people overall. Any move toward middle ground must be capitulation of the republicans' ideals and no concessions from democrats.

    Seen that movie before and the ending is democrats lose elections after the people have enough of a taste of what they're really about. Threat to liberty and bigger and bigger big brother.

    Aly is right. Republicans give us $5T of debt while Obama gives us (extreme) $10T+. Given a choice, the $10T+ is the worse option of two bad ones.

    Yeah. That will show the world. Or maybe Trump will be viewed as the next kim jong-il. This is why Trump scares me. World War III could be fun?

    How is brash and unpredictable a good thing? Would you want a boss who was 'brash and unpredictable'?

    Predictable and leading from behind. Two of your favorite qualities.

    Trump claims to be a deal maker. Predictability at the poker table is a sure fire way to lose.

    Playing poker is not the same thing as governing.
