I totally agree man, Hillary would be such a disaster if she were to be elected. The Clintons and Bushes are absolutely awful. I hope for a Trump-Sanders election. I might disagree with Sanders on nearly all of his policies, but at least he won't completely sell out the U.S. to special interests and Wall Street bankers. A friend of mine said, "how could you like Trump, he's not even a real Republican." This made me finally made me come to realize the true nature of my political views. I am a Small Government, Fiscal Conservative, Social Libertarian, Economic Progressive. The Economic Progressive part should not be confused with general ideas income redistribution. When I say Economic Progressive, I am speaking mostly of how our economy functions via big business essentially getting government to make rules to help them. So, I am in favor of breaking up the big banks, closing the tax loopholes that allow Apple and GE to pay virtually no taxes, etc... In reality the same type of "Trust Busting" made famous by our last Progressive Republican President, Teddy Roosevelt. I've done a little research, and I think that the Constitution Party is the Party whose views are most consistent with mine. However, since we don't have open primaries in PA, I think I'll keep my GOP registration for the time being. You sound like a typical Libertarian. Nothing wrong with that. I myself consider myself to be libertarian-leaning conservative. I would have liked to see Rand Paul get more traction, but the mainstream GOP would never allow him to get nominated. The only guys left I would consider voting for are Trump and Cruz. Cruz is a very strong conservative and at this point is the most likely to win the nomination after Trump and Rubio. I'd kill for a Trump/Cruz ticket in 2016.

LOL his products are made in China and he hires Mexicans to work in his hotels Of course he has his products made in China - he's a businessman. Do you have any idea how cheap the cost of labor is over there? The reason for that is because China so manipulates their currency and constantly beats the US like a drum on trade agreements. Trump is brutally honest about making his products in China; he consistently states in interviews how he hates having to do it and wishes he could do it in America. The bottom line is that Trump knows the problem has the means to fix it. He's going to get guys like Carl Ichan to negotiate better trade pacts with China and play hardball incase China tries to devalue their yuan against the dollar. We're not going to have losers like Caroline Kennedy handle negotations. Trump knows the best and brightest negotiators in the world and he's not going to allow that to happen. As for Mexico - Trump NEVER directly hired illegals to work in his hotels. He employs contractors, who in turn sub-contract, to develop his properties. Trump has no control over who the sub-contractors employ, which is why you constantly hear accounts of illegals working on Trump properties and serving in his hotels. Trump has been very tough on immigration from day one and has never bowed down to media pressure or the establishment. If anything, he has only intensified his message on keeping out illegal Mexicans and building the wall along the border. Poor trump forced to do things he doesn't want to and no control over what his companies do

I've thought Trump is a pretentious douchebag for probably the last 30 years. That being said I love how he is stirring the shit and making these career politicians shake in their boots. I'm not sure I will vote for him but if his opponent is Hilary Dykeham Clinton, I will most certainly back Trump. I just wish somebody would tell him the wall won't work since the Mexicans have better tunnels then the Battery and Queens Midtown built and you don't need ez pass.

Elections are made for low IQ folks. A friend and recent émigré from Russia pointed out that the majority of this country are at ~$40,000/yr income or below... with kids in school and a mortgage. The candidate that wins is the one that offers them the most free stuff... longer unemployment, higher minimum wage, extended welfare and food stamps... Osama realized that and it got him 2 terms in office.

Yes it is. It's why we are priced out of so many world markets. If the job you are doing isn't paying enough get a different job. Too stupid to do another job? That's what disability is for.
and as for Ronnie and the Bushes, it's a different world than Ron and daddy Bush's, as for junior the terrorist threat was higher people's agenda. Been a while but I'm pretty sure safety is higher priority than wealth on Maslow's hierarchy.

Disability (short term or long term) covers non occupational injuries or diseases.

LOL I'm so tired of hearing this bullshit being peddled around. Since when did this stereotype of Trump supporters being low-IQ start up? Speaking for myself, I have two college degrees - including a Masters - and fully support Trump, as do many of my other educated friends. Trump has massive appeal to nearly all demographics, since incompetence and corruption are universally-recognizable flaws that apply to our current government.
