    I think he showed what he is capable of in his first term. I'm convinced that he has the ability to run the Country, especially comparing his term to the last 3 years we have experienced with Joe & Kamala.
    I could only click the LIKE button once, so I just wanna say, I strongly agree. Also, the big things that he did were all done while he was having to defend himself from the daily onslaught of 50% of the country and 95% of the media.

    Either you are ignorant about Trump, ignorant about the effects of amphetamines, or you're trolling. Yrump's demeanor was much more subdued at the debate than normal.

    Agreed. I didn't watch all of it, but it looks like maybe he listened to someone telling him not to be such a dick. My opinion as to why he lost the last election is that it had nothing to do with his policies or performance while in office. I think he lost because he pissed off so many people, especially moderate women, and they just didn't want to vote for him because he was such a jerk, even if his policies benefitted them.

    The only glaring truth uncovered by that "debate" is that if those are the only 2 morons we can muster up as a leader of the free world, we are in a whole lot of trouble. Forced to choose between a convicted felon who couldn't stumble into a truth if he were drunk wearing two left shoes and a man who seemingly forgets who (or where) he is...what kind of choice is that to be our leader? We will have to vote, starting on a local level, to eliminate the electoral college that chokes out 3rd party candidates if we want to start producing leaders with our country's best interest in mind and not just their party's agenda.

    Voting out the electoral college would be a huge step towards a true socialist state. Think about it this way. It would be like three wolves and one sheep voting on what's for dinner.

    So after 17 years of not posting, this is the post you come back with.

    Trump is currently a convicted felon. Please explain his conviction. What law is he guilty of?

    With respect to the electoral college, we live in the United States. The states are responsible for electing the president by design. Removing the electoral college would allow New York City to have twice the voting power as the state of Louisiana. Do you believe that should be the case?

    The direction in which we are heading, regardless of who wins in 5 months, is untenable. I would invite you, and others, to read (or re-read) George Washington's farewell speech. For all the events and technological advances of which our founding fathers would have never even begun dreaming, GW has some painfully precise points regarding political parties ( https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/resources/pdf/Washingtons_Farewell_Address.pdf - pgs
    13-14 specifically if you wish to skip what is an otherwise enlightening read).

    When either party's main objective is to "beat" the other by dragging them through the mud, the betterment of the country becomes 2nd priority. An independent or 3rd party given a fair chance with an election platform that doesn't heavily cater to the two dominant parties but the actual will of every individual voter, will bring balance and help better represent what American citizens want...regardless of their voting preference. It's beyond time for us to start electing people we believe are good for the position instead of sticking to party lines because it's what we've always done or because we're voting against the "other" one.

    Interesting choice of animal there. Darwinism would say if you're a sheep, maybe you make other dinner plans.

    Just because someone is from one of the two parties does not mean they are not good for the position. It's possible for someone in one of the two parties to be good for a position.

    Could you list some of the negative real world consequences American citizens suffered under the 4 years of the Trump presidency?

    I worry about what the future of our country will look like. The electoral college is a band aid on a wound that is bleeding out without any real solution to remedy it.

    The needs/wants/desires of people in New York City, Chicago, Austin, L.A., and etc are simply either not aligned or are polar opposites of those of folks in small cities and more rural areas. The country is divided into essentially two different worlds: Big cities and the rest of the country. Trying to apply a one-sized fits all approach to politics clearly isn't working.
