Firstly, it doesn't matter one bit what she or any other leader looks like, as long as they have good ideas. (Though maybe you'd like her better if she had a ridiculous Comb-Over.) Secondly, conservatives are so "Party-First-Country-Second" that you won't even believe easily verifiable facts if they come from someone other than "The Faithful". (And to save you some fact check time: Rain IS wet.) |

Reading various comments from all shades of the political spectrum, combined with the results of many election cycles has me seriously questioning the concept of universal suffrage. I am now convinced that at least half the current electorate is too frickin' ignorant or stupid too be weighing in on the qualifications of candidates.
They are not alone. Many of our elected officials and talking heads have demonstrated that they are unfamiliar with our Constitution and more than two centuries of court rulings. It is important to know that the drafters of our Constitution believed that the state legislatures would continue to limit the voting franchise and that they provided for election of senators by those state legislatures for good reason. Since several of the drafters were notorious crooks, it was known when the constitution was adopted that the corruption in the state legislatures would naturally seep into the federal government. |

However, I can't believe anyone could look objectively at the facts of our lovely president's life and even support him 1%. He's a con man and a pathological liar. 100%. Last I checked his presidential Lie count was like 4000. That's like 10 a day...I'd imagine, Dropped, that you wouldn't want to do much research into things that make your guy look bad. Can't blame you. But your guy is a crook...sorry there's a better way to say it: OUR president is a crook, and should be impeached. I realize we are all tribal. That's humanity. Had Obama done even one of the thousand questionable things that the Donald has done, conservatives would have been howling. He's your tribe, thus you're willing to overlook stuff. If conservatives would just step away from the Kool-Aid of Trickle Down Economics, the World would be a much better place. |

President Obama in 8 years: 0 President Trump in 2 years: 23 Trump has already passed Harding, considered to be the most corrupt president in U.S. history. If you had a trace of integrity you would shut up about your idiotic "they're both the same". But, like your master, you don't. |

You're kind of proving my point when I said both tribes have their Kool Aid. I called him,"Your guy" because you called yourself a conservative and said that you don't support him 100%. I infer from that: You do "partially" support him. I'm not "shitting" down your throat. I'm as calm as can be. I suspect that people are giving you grief because Don the Con is giving conservatives everywhere a giant black eye, and holding you personally responsible for it. I"M not doing that. I DO encourage you to go to a non biased news source, and read up on what's been going on. I like BBC alot, Politifact is a nice non partisan fact checking site that does good work. Some of the stuff that the Don does sounds pretty scary and I hope I'm wrong when I fear for our Republic. You say that you're country first, but do you really like this guy? I'm not "salivating" for another Watergate. Watergate was a national disgrace, and it's horrible for the country to have to go through impeachment proceedings. If only it was only a blow job. If trump has nothing to hide, then why is he howling about releasing his taxes? Or anything? If the report exonerates him, then why not release it fully? And the report is just one of dozens of things that are red flags... |

Honestly, after reading forums like these and seeing a sampling of input from people outside the US as well, I don't think the problem is confined only to our borders. We haven't cornered the market on stupidity. |

Yet imagine the kind of out cry there would be if the original voter qualifications where still in place.
White men only and that is only if they own property. |
