Is there *anything* Trump can do at this point

to make the race competitive again? Is there anything Clinton could do that would make this competitive again? GOTV is going to make or break the election, of course, but right now, it seems like Clinton is starting to run away with the election. Trump seems like a walking dumpster fire.

Idiotic/nonsensical

unless you just happen to believe that nothing *should* get done in Washington DC but then again, if you don't think anything should get done, then what is the point of having Congress? They might as well just pack it in and go home if the public really wants nothing done.


Funnily enough, I didn't hear a whole lot of complaining from independents or right-wingers when Bush had an ultra-Republican Congress rubberstamping his agenda/policies for 6/8 of his (P)residency. When I hear stuff like this, what it means to me is that the people spouting are usually right-wingers/right-leaning "independents" who want a President who won't will blow up the world (i.e. Trump) but they also don't want DEMOCRATS to do anything like, you know, help people get access to healthcare coverage or any of those hippy-dippy "liberal" things. They also have a "rosy" view of bipartisanship and how likely it is to happen on the Republican side (which I hope nobody still actually harbors illusions about after 8 years of rampant obstructionism by the GOP of President Obama)

Every time

The Democrats are in charge, the GOP yells and screams about the debt/deficit and demands cuts to existing programs and fights against new ones but they have no problems with spending trillions on the military and running up the debt/deficits when they are in charge. It's all so predictable (and tiresome).

For anybody

Who thinks that a Trump Presidency wouldn't be a big deal because even a Republican Congress would eventually throw him out (ha ha), they obviously haven't considered that a Pence Presidency would NOT be any kind of improvement.

So, THAT was his "bar" that he had to exceed?

Once again the "The Party of Personal Responsibility"

Taking NONE of it. BTW the Republicans have barely tried to speak to Obama about anything for 8 years and basically told him to go f**k himself when he tried to fill the latest SCOTUS vacancy for the past 7-8 months. Let me take this opportunity to NOT care what McTurtle has to say and I certainly don't blame Obama for not wanting to either.

Uhhh.....WTF?

Obama vetoed it and the REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED Congress overrode the veto. If they had some concerns, why didn't they fix it instead of making it law and then expressing concerns about it? Oh yeah, they're worthless.

And don't forget

You could have a beer with Bush (who, as a recovering alcoholic, shouldn't be drinking anyway, but that's beside the point)


Come to think of it, though, Bush basically was "drunk" at the wheel for eight years and ended up wrecking the family car. Even though we got a new driver, Republicans have made sure that we can't fix that battered car up too good, however.

Why do Republicans

think that every attack is some kind of "positive" for them, politically, especially since 3000 people died in one attack under THEIR last watch (and they killed another 4000 American soldiers for their war of choice in Iraq in response to 9/11/01)? After George W. Bush/Cheney, why would ANYBODY want to have Republicans responding to terrorism? It's sickening that Republicans are practically hoping for terrorist attacks over here (or against Americans) to get their guy into the WH. Weird, sick s**t happens all of the time but that's not a reason to pull a lever for the Republican candidate, especially one as crazy and potentially dangerous as Trump.

We can only hope.

I remember how Romney immediately jumped in to politicize Benghazi in 2012 and how that didn't work out well for him. I figured that Trump would immediately jump in front of the cameras about this and I was not mistaken.
