Hillary Clinton was flawed in being a Clinton. A nation of almost 400 million people and the best candidate you can find is a former president's wife? And this is shortly after the unqualified son of a former president won two terms? It demonstrates that America has become no more than the world's most powerful banana republic, or perhaps the world's most dangerous reality show.

Found this interesting. WSJ video regarding the New Hampshire and Iowa GOP primary voters who didn't vote for Donald.
No real difference with age, gender, or being an evangelical.
Basically - it's educated suburbanites who are middle income or higher. Most of them probably vote for him in November, but enough may peel off to make a difference because beyond his hardcore base, he's very unlikely to add any current Democratic leaning voters.

If the Trump quote about letting Russia attack NATO allies doesn't spark concern on the right, I don't know what will. Aren't they the party of national security, law and order? I cannot accept that they're okay with his international policies that would significantly destabilize democratic allies...or maybe they actually are in favor of autocratic rule and aren't truly American? I just don't get how they've abandoned every principle they've campaigned on as a political party for multiple decades, just to be subservient to a demagogue. It's so depressing. Can we bring back the Whig party now?
The America First movement in the 1930's is very similar to this, including the fascist undertones
For my first post on Calgarypuck I came in here looking for a dust-up with a MAGA/Trump supporter, but I don't see any around. All I see are intelligent, politically astute folks.
I'm a Canucks fan who just went through a week-long vetting process in order to join Calgarypuck that I'm certain is stricter than if I applied for a job with the CIA, and while we have obvious differences regarding the teams we support, I am happy to see that you guys haven't lost your minds.
Yeah, despite our differenes, I think we can be friends.

I’m very engaged on Twitter in U.S. politics but I’ll be happy when that election is over and life is back to normal. This #### show is messing me up. (As long it’s not Trump-in-office normal.)

This is a weird place. A lot of federal conservatives, hate the republicans, and hate the Alberta government even more. Plenty of political lost souls. You're probably going to have fun.

This didn't get posted here yet but libspeople on Twitter/X whose opinion no one gives two sh-ts about are losing their minds about Jon Stewart once again being Extremely Correct about something.
The world is a lot less stupid when you don't pay attention to the loud stupid ones on social media.
