    Vague unfulfilled promises are all a Trump voter needs as "policy" these days.

    The more spiteful and self centered the better!

    Speaking of growing up, this is the type of response immature people give. Sad.

    You are right but why fall into the trap of arguing about this meaningless stuff

    My point on winning is Democrats have spent six months in refusal to admit he won fairly by communicating better.

    Until Democrats deal with that truth they will be stuck losing.

    No, they haven't. They have admitted he won fairly, but have also said that we should try and stop Russian meddling in our democracy since they attempted to do that with this election and have attempted to do that in other elections in other democracies as well. They have said with Trump's people lying so much about meeting with elections, lying about attempts to change policy in Russia's favor without the U.S. getting anything in return, and knowingly hiring foreign agents to work as NSA's and campaign chairmen that it might be worthwhile to see if there is anything going on there.

    None of that is saying that Trump only won because of the Russians, but that isn't even as important as protecting our democracy.

    Russians aren't the reason white working class voters in Michigan voted for Trump and blacks failed to vote.

    If someone read Mrs Clinton's hacked email they weren't voting for her anyway

    The only people interested in those emails don't like her to begin with

    Did you read them?

    Not 100% but probably 90% of the people talking about Russians being the reason Trump won, are people like you who claim the Democrats are saying the Russians are the reason why Trump won. Almost everyone else is talking about the Russians because they committed espionage against our nation, and tried to subvert our democracy, which is infinitely more important the reason why Trump won.

    There are almost no Democrats who are claiming the Trump won because of the Russians. What we do know is that a substantial portion of Trump's people lied about meeting with Russians, many of those folks lied repeatedly about it. We also know that Trump and his people have tried to give benefits to the Russians while asking absolutely nothing in return. We know that Trump and his people also lied about that. We know that Trump fired an FBI director because he was investigating the Trump campaign and their connections to the Russians.

    All of that is worth investigating but still isn't the reason why Trump won. That can and should be investigated and is more important than why Trump won.

    You more than any Democrat or left leaning person on this board brings up Trump winning the election and Russians together. I'm not sure why you keep bringing it up, but you do. The rest of us bring up Trump and his people lying about their contacts with the Russians, and the fact that Russia committed espionage against the United States, and attempted to undermine our election. The rest of us bring it up because it is important to preserve the integrity of our elections. We don't bring it up to make an excuse for why the Democrats lost.

    So you have nothing to say except to continue to defend a man who is making a mockery of the office of President of the United States. That's disappointing, but based on what you've posted about the man, unsurprising. You want to talk policy? Do you really? Then talk policy. Tell why you are so enamored with Mr. trump. Don't give me this dishonest crap about attempting to "educate" Democrats, steer them on the "right path," or any other mumbo jumbo that strikes your fancy, with all due respect. Go ahead. Talk policy.

    how do you know the harassment charges against him are false? How do you know he didn't work with Russia? How do you know that he isn't trying to discredit the media and judicial branch so he can exert more power?

    You make a lot of attacks and claims without and basis or foundation in the knowledge...as if you know the absolute truth. This is where you lose massive credibility

    Happy Fourth

    We are all gonna die one day

    Its not that serious

    The what happened to pgabriel posts are very presumptuous.

    But its all good

    That wrestling tweet was kinda funny.

    I mean really he isn't presidential so what

    I mean really nothing in your life will change due to his lack of protocol.

    CNN has been wrong about everything he has beaten them up

    I view the tweet as truth

    That's my perspective

    You have yours

    Happy Fourth

    Lastly it won't get worse than bush attacking Iraq.

    Trump isn't about to do something like that.


    His attack on healthcare is troublesome but they won't put together a replacement.
    Their voters are old. That's the bottom line

    The problems with healthcare are communication but democrats are to arrogant to admit that or at least they aren't trying to correct it.

    When you type your own user name wrong, that's a hint that the Jagermeister kicked in, and you can stop anytime now.

    Specifically the you can keep your insurance was a big mistake

    There is an education problem communicating the benefits of healthcare.

    Democrats talk above people's heads

    Republicans who have money go to the doctor already cause they already have insurance so all they hear is taxes going up
