    Sure, if things go to hell on the economy and constitutional rights. If Trump gets to off the rails which could happen. But if the dems come with a socialist Democrat no way.
    Mid western dems will not go that far left.
    The dem from Ohio would be a good choice.

    Was in Shithole Portland again Wednesday.

    Just keeps getting worse. Drove by city crews cleaning up dumptruck loads of shit and garbage at the I-205 and Division ramps as dozens of bums wandered off into citizens' back yards. Came back by an hour later and even though they were still picking up the mess, the cops had left so the bums were setting their tents back up on the same spot.

    First time I've seen the Right criticize Bernie over guns.

    In every debate, with Hillary calling for gun measures, Bernie bit his lip and never took the bait. Anti-gun Democrats criticized him a lot for his silence on the gun issue. He's the best you will find among Democrats, for this issue which is apparently so central to your life.

    What I said was if the left get any more extreme and talk about second amendment changes, or Sanders and Blum run for president.
    I realize Bernie like's to play it safe with respect the second.
    And its not central to my life, just damn important. Is that ok?

    If Bernie becomes President, you will see practically no changes in gun laws, pro or con. He's a moderate Republican on that issue.

    I know of one Lefty who's a firearm nut. The rest are all Righties including my two favorite hunting partners.

    I own two firearms but don't consider myself unusually drawn to them. I haven't fired my firearms in decades either in hunting, a gun range or even plunking in decades. Of course it's difficult for me to walk or stand for more than a few seconds these days.

    Most of the town is the wrong part of town though.

    Most any place on the east side is infiltrated by sloppy bums that don't clean up after themselves. Every overpass over 205 is packed. Spring water trail. Every park i drive by... even the tiny on right where washington splits with stark around 106th street. Bums even camped out there. Trash in the fountain.

    So glad im out of that pile of shit.

    Kate brown needs to pull her head put of her ass on this and the antifa shit.

    Can we please take back our streets and give them back to the law abiding citizens???

    I have been by there quite frequently and of course it is being blown completely out of proportion.

    I guess we are viewing it somewhat the same. There are plenty of guns in lefty households but they still tend towards reform and don’t attach their guns to the core of their existence.

    I never said everything was great, but just pointing out that the Springwater Corridor has been massively improved. Maybe we should ship them all off to Trump properties.

    Not sure if you know, but they were infiltrating their filth upon the East side much longer than Trump has been in office FYI. And the Springwater trail that has been improved, was improved during Trumps admin.. so... if you wanna have them move into a politicians front yard, I vote Obama's or Kate Browns.

    Obama is no longer in office, Trump is. Are you crediting trump for improving the Springwater Corridor? What exactly did he do?

    Most of the whole West side, including the suburbs, is good. Then there is the Laurelhurst area, the Sellwood area, the Reed neighborhood that are pretty good on the East side. Those are just off the top of my head. Anyone who thinks most of Portland is bad, needs a sanity check.

    I've driven up and down Williams avenue with absolutely no problems ever.

    The last time I had a problem in Portland was in 1965.

    What on Earth does the Springwater trail have to do with Trump? Truly baffling.

    Oh come on now. I drive on I-205 about once a month from my home in Lake Oswego to my in-laws in Vancouver near Camas and I see very few campers under overpasses. Don't exaggerate.

    ANTIFA is a direct result of White Supremacists, KKK and Nazis. You tell me which is worse. Concentrate on the worst part first and ANTIFA will fade away.

    Not at all. You were the one who said rhey should camp in trump lawn. Im simply stating they weee here long before trump took office and yet coincidentally its been improved since. Yet you want the remaining to go camp in his yard and not the administration that was im place when this insane homeless growth began

    You havent driven down barbar much then.... yes some of those places are nice but not all. Tigard is infiltrated. Multnomah village... i drive by and through it daily.

    My point exactly. Im not the one that tied the two together. See above....
