    That's tied to Ukraine and what Russia sees as EU aggression. That wouldn't have happened if the Ukraine didn't happen. That's not a separate issue.

    I'd say you and Deckard both need to take a few plays off for dropping F bombs.

    Wow, just listen to this total trade-organization-shredding racist say that we should try to work with Trump:

    never understood why anyone would submit to a heavily narrated/edited pre-taped interview like 60 Minutes does. Just asking for trouble.

    at the very least, insist they release full transcripts online

    "a hand down his pants" you don't want to go there bro, the image of the King's disciples orally satisfying him still haunts me for the rest of my life. Keep it classy!

    What else would you think he should be remembered for?

    Conservatives won the election but you are missing the point, if it were up to the Millennial generation then they would have lost easily. You said that younger people are getting more conservatives and still have no proof of that. Saying that conservatives won the election ignores that young people voted for Clinton and her more progressive message. Ignore it at your peril. The idea that young people just automatically turn conservative is wrong, you are losing this generation and my guess is you'll start to see more liberal presidents like FDR again thankfully.

    He ran on immigration and job production and also that he would help the countries economy. Anything else he really should check the pulse of the nation, yes absolutely. The best presidents are those that do that. Not just "Oh well you lost, now I get to do whatever." for a president promising unity that would be the very opposite of unity.

    If you are suggesting that he should just ram GOP policies down the throat of the nation and completely ignore the left side of the country then that would be a huge mistake.

    Neither is the issue of other baltic states feeling threatened. EU says Russia was aggressive and Russia says the EU was. I'm not taking sides here, the fact is though these states feel threatened and if USA just suddenly that they are cool with whatever Russia does.

    In fact Trump threatening to pull out of his alliances threatens to create far more instability around the world, maybe he'll learn that those alliances and relationships are there for a reason though.

    If it were up to 13 year old girls, Bieber would be the president despite not being elligible for numerous reasons.

    If it were up to 4 year old children, Kipper would be the president despite being an animated dog.

    That's a solid point. Conservatives actually lost, the accurate way of saying it would be that Republican partisans won.

    He actually does deserve some credit for that. It took some balls to approve that mission given the potential for disaster and serious blowback if it didn't go well.

    Who said anything about 13 year old girls though? We are talking about eligible voters.

    Conservatism didn't win. Populism and change won. If Ted Cruz won the election then I would agree with you, but a totally different style candidate won. You are confusing the party that Trump represented and the ideas that he put forth.

    Secondly, nothing in this country shows it is becoming more "conservative". You can keep saying it because you want it to be true, but that doesn't make what you are saying a reality.

    Obama entered office as a Democratic President, with a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate. Now Republicans will control all 3. Yep, clearly trending democratic! Excellent analysis, my friend!

    Yeah....and I value the political opinion of "millennials" about the same as those of 13 year old girls or 4 year old kids. The very oldest "millennials" are barely 30 with the bulk of them being under 20. Hell the youngest of them are only 12.....so you kind of were talking about 13 year old girls.

    Even if you specify that you are only talking about voting age millennials, you are still talking about 18-30 year olds and only the upper tier of them even count as true adults IMO. The majority of them being too young to have an intelligent opinion.

    It's funny how bobby often and repeatedly gets his dumb statements proven wrong and he just sidesteps them like it never happened. Occurs in every single thread.
