I'm a Republican. I voted against Obama twice. I'm not arguing for or against any specific president or party, I'm arguing against stupidity. As a highly educated Republican it's getting harder and harder to convince the other people I work with that the Republican party represents a defensible alternative. Realistically they no longer represent any of the fiscal conservatism I believe in. This has been a problem since Reagan got the party so deeply into bed with the military complex. So much of the Republican rhetoric at this point is based on distraction and misdirection. There is virtually no chance of abortion becoming illegal in this country any time in the foreseeable future, but it's still such an important voting issue that it's hard to see Republicans holding a house of Congress or the White House without it. That's absurd.

For the record, I'm not proud of any recent spending by Republicans either. I'm just plain tired of the Obama lovers spouting off against the Republicans like everything is their fault. "Gee, I wonder how much those 59 cruise missiles cost?" BigFnnDeal! Like Obama didn't waste any money by not taking ISIS out right away? How much more has it cost us by NOT doing something against them immediately? There just a JV Team! What is it going to cost us going forward by not enforcing the "RED LINE" that he warned Assad not to cross and then did nothing. What is going to happen with North Korea and Kim Jong-un and his radical behavior. Obama should have done more there. His foreign policy was terrible. Was he handed a clean plate, no, but IMO he did little to nothing to improve anything.

If you want to argue against stupidity start by being respectable. Your derogatory innuendos of stupidity directed towards me are hardly impressive or necessary. I'm done playing in the mud puddle with you.

Taking ISIS out right away....how uptopian. Where's our 30 day plan to defeat ISIS? It's that simple, right?

everything was going to be done very quickly including ripping up iran agreement......such a pathological liar...playing his supporters for suckers.

If u recall, during the campaign, even Mitt Romney (a staunch republican) ran tv ads warning people not to vote for Trump bc he was a con artist who was duping the public. But they didn't listen. That's why people say watch what you ask for bc you just might get it. I guarantee you Trump has us at war within 6 months.

wow he didn't change the world in a hundred days what a liar he should be hung one thing you can be sure of the debt won't rise by 80 percent or so depending on what numbers you believe under his watch and that's a good thing

Can you? If you look at his tax proposals, it most certainly can. See Kansas for a current example.

mixtroy was very articulate.....a country must always demand , require and expect that the president be a good person who is a true public servant....politics aside.

he wont have a single policy that wont significantly help him and his family.

trump just sent bill o' reilly over to n. korea to interview kim jong - un.

Yeah, mixtroy summed it up pretty succinctly. I would have mentioned the Michael Flynn/Russia debacle, and appointing the pro-pollution guy to head the EPA and the anti-education lady to head Education, but why quibble.
