You will find your life much less stressful if you block certain people instead of responding to them. Don't get sucked in.

You really think she wasnt a better option? Why?

The lies - yes, all politicians do, but I believe her's are more frequent and more severe
The cheating - see DNC funds and rigged Democratic Primary
The thievery - just what did happen to all the Clinton Foundation money and how did the Clintons get their huge increase in wealth
The elitist attitude - far too many comments to list that show she feels she's above the rules that apply to everyone else
The hypocrisy - try to discredit Trump over events and comments far less severe than those of her own husband

How's that for starters?

This doesn't really make HRC a worse candidate than Trump since it can all be applied to Trump as well. They were and are both rotten candidates.

They definitely both were bad candidates, but HRC was definitely the worse candidate of the two. She is proven to be a poor public official. Trump was and still is a wild card. I didn't follow her career at all as a senator as I was in the 9th grade when she was first elected and a senator across the country was of no interest to me, but her record as Secretary of State was very poor. Little was known about Trump's abilities in elected office. Economically, it appears that the right candidate was elected. It is still early, but we are on pace in Trump's first year to double Obama's best year in GDP growth. It's all speculatory whether there is a correlation between our renewed economic prosperity and Trump, but the one thing you can't argue are the stats. Reagan, great economy. Bush 1, average economy. Clinton, great economy (arguably better than Reagan's). Bush 2, atrocious economy. Obama, worst post recession economy in our country's history. Trump, on pace to match Reagan/Clinton economy.

Thank you for a sensible, factual post. Sure you want to waste it here?
Seriously though, I, like millions upon millions of other Americans, voted against HRC and the status quo, at least as much as we voted for Trump.
I've got to admit I do love Trump's stance on illegal immigrants though. (They are NOT undocumented, they ARE illegal.)

I think it is too early to judge Trump's impact on the economy. However, as I have said before I care more about foreign policy than internal affairs.

It's definitely too early. I'm just saying that he is off to a good start. My problem with weighting foreign affairs over internal affairs is that if we're broke we have can have very little impact overseas. Also, clarify which aspect of foreign affairs you are referring to. You have said many times that the environment and foreign affairs are more important to you than economic issues. Environment is self explanatory, but "foreign affairs" is very broad. I'm just curious which aspect you're referring to.

De-escalating Korea, relations with NATO, Europe, handling Middle East, etc.

This all takes a lot of money. That is what makes having a strong economy so vital. When our economy tanks, our presence overseas is diminished. This is one of the main reasons that economy is towards the top of my list.

That's true. You should block me.

The president can have a huge effect on the economy with regulation and trade policy. The best way a president can encourage economic growth is to get out of the way. Every new regulation that is added costs businesses money, which means less available funds for hiring and reinvestment of capital.

I mean, we don't have a 'smoking gun' on TRUMP himself, necessarily, but we do know that people in his campaign were linked and he and his family had the direct means to get info from Russia. So it's very likely that he colluded. Right now, he will not be convicted. Later? We will see.

So, the answer the question is, despite all the Libs / Dems doing all the digging they possibly can, into everything and anything they possibly can, they have NOTHING AT ALL linking Trump to any type of crime. Thanks for clearing that up for us.

Obstruction is a crime right? Trump admitted himself that he fired Comey because of the Russian investigation. Be patient padawan. It's coming.

Well, I will agree that there is a better chance of Trump being charged of something than there is of me ever being your student.

That doesn't change the fact that as of now, the answer is still NO. (Nor is anything remotely imminent.) Make all the "brilliant" forecasts you like, but none of those ever seem to work-out for people touting Trump's demise.

Maybe all that time, effort and money would be better spent on trying to better this Country.

Getting rid of Trump will better this country.

Explain how

I think getting rid of people like you would make this country better. Please move. ASAP.

that is what most Trump supporters say. If you don't like it here, leave. My response would be "If you don't like it here, work to improve things."

They say this because so many Hillary supporters threatened to leave if Trump won. It appears that the left has lost all pride in this great country. I know this is stereotyping and I do understand that a large percentage of democrat voters still love America, but the people on the left with a pedestal give off the impression that they hate everything about America.

I love America! I don't love our president or where we are going.

You love America so much you refuse to believe that Islam is a threat....

POTUS has a lot to do with both the economy and foreign policy and those two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. See...TPP, that even Bernie the Socialist Sanders wants to eliminate btw.

Boris. I'm afraid I've got to object here. You're better than this, aren't you? Your comment goes way over the line. Every citizen has a right to live FREELY here, and that extends to their right to express their opinions........... even IF their opinions might make you look, well..... less intelligent in comparison.

Not with someone with the moniker of "The Taint". No he has from day one been a belligerent poster who states that his opinions are facts and if your opinions are not on par with his he gets nasty. Sometimes, Bob and I do like and respect you, the best defense is a good offense. I have zero respect for this individual and will ridicule him non-stop. Am I better than this? Hmmmm...probably not. Should I be? Yes. You are correct there.

Have some vodka, comrade.

Can we quit quoting the same long *** post?

Tang, You will find your life much less stressful if you block certain people instead of responding to them. Don't get sucked in.

You should block me.

That's because strikeout is my twin brother from another mother. We think exactly alike.

We're both super conservatives and almost always correct.
