    I am an American, not a Republican. I do find the Republicans fit my needs on issues more often than Democrats but not often enough to make me feel like a Republican.
    Like yourself, I vote for the Libertarian when I can't vote for the Republican or the Democrat, but that hasn't been but once, surely not in 2012. Obama thanks you though.

    A Trump impersonator would finish off Trump's chances fast.

    But Denny's not interested in making the big bucks.

    The president doesn't make big bucks.

    I'd rather be a campaign donor and get $billions in kick backs.

    I would probably not vote. I'm kind of over all this politics bullshit, if anything I'll vote Trump out of Spite.

    I would almost bet Kasich will be the VP. Ohio is a must win for the President, Kasich can help as well as being the most qualified to become President. The nation would be in good hands.
    Christie for AG would be a refreshing change from the current status too. Hell, Bush can help too, just not as the third Bush of the dynasty.

    What ever works! Sounds good to me.

    Send the message to Duke, perhaps he will throw in some spite also.

    Trumps tactics remind me of Obama’s tactics. Except Trump is cruder and more vocal about it.

    When negotiating, neither Trump nor Obama leaves themselves any wiggle room. Both draw lines in the sand. Both of them say. “Come over to my side of the line, or I will punish you”. “And I will increase the punishment until you do come over to my side.”

    Trump’s negotiating talents are way overrated. He is not a good negotiator, and never was. He wins negotiations by using every dirty trick to bully people.

    The line in the sand stance and using dirty tricks is also the reason I do not like Obama. He will break any rule to get his way. That is not how successful politicians get things done.

    Obama has placed himself above the law, and so will Trump if he is elected.

    Then we throw his ass out. We can do that with Republicans. We have not learned how to chuck the Democrat screwing up the works.

    Not much added there, but I am glad you are entertained.

    Spent about the last 40 minutes listening to Glen Beck. I don't listen to that guy as a rule, sort of a whacko that never gets to the point. Today I had to go get some boat parts and he got my attention, he is running off at the mouth about Trump not disavowing David Duke clearly! I mean the guy is railing about it, comparing Trump to Hitler. Then he has a side kick in there with him, kicking Trumps arse about not Really being a Christian! He says he doesn't think Trump acts like he has been saved and accepts Jesus as God and his savior.

    Geez sounds very much like people on this board. The surprising thing is, I never thought I would find people on this board in lock step agreement with Beck! Weird!
    The dumb ass that claims to be the authority on what a Christian is is sickening. The both of them seem to be shilling for Clinton. Not so sure they are bright enough to know it though.

    Dump Trump.
    Pillory Hillary.

    I'd never vote for either of them even if they were the only candidates on the ballot. 320 million people in the country and we end up with these two schmucks? My bet is that the indictment for Hillary comes down just after it's too late for Bernie to win enough primaries to get the nomination and then Obama & Co. pick the candidate.

    As it stands right now, I'd vote for anybody running against Hillary.

    Bernie v. Trump would be a conundrum. I don't like Trump much, and he doesn't represent much of anything I'm for other than "not DC politics as usual". But even if Bernie's elected, there's NO WAY his policies get voted through the Senate and House unless there's enough compromise that they're not Bernie's ideas any more.

    Obvs, things can change. But one thing that will not be seen is my vote ever for Hillary Clinton. And since I'm an I-4 corridor voter in FL, the vote kind of counts! Woo Hoo!

    I'm afraid he's going to win, and big.

    If so, I hope he mellows out a LOT and governs like the last ex actor we elected.

    thanks, but I'm really not that cool. Ask Sly and Wookee.

    But if you're in Tampa, there's always steak, wine and cocktails. :cheers:
