does that justify 8 Benghazi hearings?

Under Bush there were 13 attacks on embassies with 66 dead Americans.
1 hearing.

Spoiler!

Uncomfortably similar to a televangelist's letter.

I thought I was being naive in thinking that was real, so googled it...and, just wow, it is a real thing

This campaign makes me feel embarrassed to be North American.

To counter Hitlery Clinton (which is genius), I came up with some other examples of mixing current candidates with infamous historical figures.

Ted Cruzchev
Donald Trumpsfeld
Jeb Bush

Not to mention actual war crimes under his and Cheney's watch. But we never got any hearings about that.

And Obama or Hitlery have these "skills"?

The biggest problem effecting all of us right now is international trade. The US has huge trade deficits with almost every country. It's killing the North American economy. They don't need a "diplomatic PC politician". They need someone to straighten out this financial mess they are in and bring manufacturing and jobs back to North America.

Hope and Change has done nothing.

I am sorry, as I know facts tend to get in the way of your points.

So billions in trade deficits with China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico etc is ok by you??

Funny, take a look at the federal debt increase under Obama's watch... More than all previous presidents! Perhaps crippling debt has caused a recession which has lead to less trade with other nations? How can anyone be surprised with this result? Obama has been given almost everything in his life (scholarships etc) and is a career politician. What does he know about the financials of running a company or country? Hope and Change.

Anyone who thinks Obama has done ONE thing to help the USA must have their head so deep in the sand they forgot which way was up. And that liar Hitlery and the disgusting Clintons?!? "Wiped my server? You mean with a rag?" "Depends on what your definition of Is is" Really Democrats? It's almost too unreal to believe.

You heard it here first folks, Obama caused the recession that came into effect as he was taking office.

Ohhh but Clinton said she's gonna take Wall Street to task so... We are saved!

Just like they did in 2008.

The first thing Obama did when he got in office was fill his Cabinet with Wall Street executives. Isn't it a bit odd that we are in a global recession and commodities are in a complete meltdown but the stock market is doing A-OK?

Coincidence.

And yet Fuhrer Trump wants to tariff the hell out of every nation, thus creating even less trade with other nations. As to bringing jobs back, unless he can somehow trick Americans into working significantly more hours for significantly less money, he ain't bringing a thing back. Or what, is he gonna go after every American company on the stock exchange?

Besides, do you really care about any other aspects of Trump's platform besides his plans for Mexicans and Muslims? Like somehow his support wouldn't fall into the single digits if he reversed course on both those issues, even with the rest of the platform being the same? Yeah I didn't think so.

[Street Pharmacist]

What is Trump's platform anyways? Honestly?

Immigration: build walls and increase border patrols (ummmmmmmm net migration is to Mexico not from. That would just trap the illegals in)

Foreign policy: no specifics, just be would beat ISIS. When questioned how, answer is he would


They guy is running on insults and wishes

If the USA continues to lose its manufacturing sector it will be game over. Trump is the only candidate talking about this. Seems important to me.

Your second paragraph confuses me. I think this is what the liberal media does to spin the bs from the important issues.

[Looch City]

Trump's platform is whatever the crowd cheers for on his speech nights.

Honestly, you have no clue. I'd tell you to do some research, see how Trump wants to fix trade deficits, bring manufacturing jobs back to the USA, bring back the idea of North American energy independence, deport people that are currently breaking the law in the USA....etc, but you seem to like the world of ignorance you live in so have fun with that.

But then you would have one left in the White House...
