    So what's Drumpf'a version of the broken campaign promise that will get him booted from the WH? I seriously do not know what's his core platform?

    If we don't build a fence along the southern border, is that going to do him in in 4 years?

    To be honest.. He did imply that after 2 or 3 years he might get bored or find the job too overwhelming and quit. Go back and look/listen to that victory speech.

    I see you're at the anger stage of grief right now.

    That fence (wall) doesn't have to be literal.

    I know its unrealistic for us to kick out ~30million illegals ..... but we do need to kick out the felons and stop the flood of more illegals , then we can deal with who's left (likely amnesty however unpalatable to a constitutional conservative).


    For me , he has to uphold his promises of reduced taxes and regulation on business which should fuel our economy .... as well as an alternative to ACA (Obamacare) , even a socialized system is more palatable to paying more for healthcare than a freaking mortgage.

    And if he does those things his presidency is 10x better than Obama who was the second most popular president of all time behind Reagan.

    Trump coming in to clean up Obama's mess.

    Still waiting for you to take the bet, peasant.

    I don't think people like you understand that people like me have been voting against our self-interest for people like you. But no more.

    Stay down. Drumpf will make sure of it.

    Do you own a business? What's the regulation you are looking forward to being lifted (other than ACA)?

    Are you in the top bracket (or two) of taxes? Or are you talking about capital gains?

    I'm just curious that besides the talking points, how will YOU personally benefit?

    You have a confederate soldier sketch as your avatar.. Trump will probably reinstate the confederate flag at public buildings...

    Nah, it's ok. I don't really need to take a $1000 bet. I quite content simply enjoying the victory of the forces of good today.

    I'm retired , did so at the ripe old age of 34 and have delved into may endeavors since.

    Ran my own business for 13 years , sold out to a large local company for a FAT profit.

    Yes , I'm still in the very top bracket as my investments make me a tidy annual sum and my wife makes many times the average yearly salary.


    I'm not so much concerned with myself .... believe it or not. I'm concerned with the guy who is in the same place I was 20 years ago. I'm worried about my kids ..... and that they have the same opportunities I had economically.

    Think about what I said about health care .... when I was 25 I didn't have to foot the bill for the old and decrepit unless I made the choice to do so .... I took the risk that I was healthy and saved the $$$ .... Today you 25ish individuals get to contribute to my costs to limit the risks of the insurance industry - (Now consider that my wife is an insurance agent). This is all great for my old ass ..... sucks to be you (not necessarily you but young people in general).


    As a Constitutional Conservative (NOT a Republican conservative) .... all I ask for is fairness. Despite race , creed , color or financial position .... I believe Trump offers that much more than Hillary. **** she defied the a US Congressional subpoena .... what would happen if you did that ?! We couldn't bury you deep enough under the jailhouse.


    EDIT: If you recall , Hillary stated flat out that she would increase taxes .... How do you feel about the death tax ?? **** you've already been taxed on that.

    Ah, the cowboy, I can respect that, despite it being an anachronism in the 21st century.

    But Drumpf is and will show the world he is the furthest thing from the cowboy.

    I was willing to gamble on the unknown of Trump rather than the known commodity that is Hillary Clinton ..... We know she's corrupt and has exploited the gubmint to enrich herself , I don't know if that can be said about Trump.

    dei what in your life has changed? Nothing is changing my life I don't understand how people can get so cited about something that doesn't change anything in my opinion.The only real changes rich people who make over 400k will pay less taxes when there is a Republican in office. I can see why they're happy.
