Trump - Make America Great Again!

Tibs: The article you cite focuses only on how Americans "feel" about the economy. The truth of the matter is that the adjusted median income level has fallen quite a bit during his tenure.

Further, the Obama administration's claim that the unemployment rate is down fails to acknowledge that far more citizens are not in the workforce and/or are unemployed as compared to when he took office:

I submit that the "feelings" of Americans about the economy have more to do with the kid-glove treatment that the Obama economic policies and results get from mass media and much less to do with the actual numbers.
 
interesting that Tibs brings up the standard of living increase, which is a result of the housing bubble popping and the market correcting itself - which is in itself a direct correlation to debt, but does not see an issue with the current state of the national debt.

please, tell us more.

Trump Card? Republican voter registration a bright spot for campaign

Donald Trump enjoys at least one electoral advantage in his climb to the White House: Republicans are outpacing Democrats in registering new voters in key states.

A review of registration figures shows that in the swing states that sign up voters by party, Republicans are seeing a significantly bigger boost since 2012.

In states like Florida and Pennsylvania, the party has added tens of thousands of voters to the rolls at a time when Democrats have seen their base shrink.

“The numbers [in those states] … are a huge shift from what we’ve seen in 2012,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.

THIRTY-TWO NEW MILITARY LEADERS ENDORSE DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT

Support From Retired Admirals And Generals Grows To 120 After Successful Commander-In-Chief Forum

(NEW YORK, NY) September 9, 2016 – Donald J. Trump for President today announced 32 additional endorsements from retired admirals and generals, joining the 88 named earlier in the week. These 120 military leaders are in addition to numerous other distinguished former flag officers backing Mr. Trump including Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, USA (Ret.) and Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, USA (Ret.). These names were added following Wednesday’s Commander-In-Chief Forum, showing Mr. Trump has the respect and trust from a number of military leaders across all branches of service. Recent polls have also shown Mr. Trump as the overwhelming choice among military voters.

“I am grateful for the growing support of highly respected retired generals and admirals who have been so successful in defending our country. Working with our armed forces is the most important responsibility of the presidency. I thank each of these strong leaders for their dedicated service to our country and their confidence in me to serve as commander-in-chief. Our foreign policy must be guided by the principle of peace through strength, and to do this we must commit to strengthening our military so that it remains the finest fighting force on the planet.” – Donald J. Trump

Doesn't matter when it's Democrats who are in charge of the voting machines.
 
Bill Clinton Mocks ‘The Coal People’ In West Virginia, Kentucky For Supporting Trump

Speaking in Homewood, PA on Friday, Bill Clinton criticized the “coal people” in West Virginia for supporting Donald Trump

.“We all know how [Hillary’s] opponent has done well down in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky,” the former president told the crowd at the Greater Pittsburgh Coliseum. “The coal people don’t like any of us [Democrats] anymore.”

Gee I can't imagine why. It's not like Democrats have vowed to put them out of business or anything.

Checking in on Nate Silver and Trump is still about a -6 point underdog to win the election (using football reference since that's really why we are here).

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo

The battleground states are now all east coast: Ohio, PA, Florida and North Carolina. And I have contended from the very beginning this is closer than the poles indicate. Tibs and the pro-Democrat side can't deny that lack of energy from that campaign and how this entire election is now about Trump: either for or against.

It's not a coin flip, but this isn't Clinton's no matter what either. And I still contend Trump is actually the best candidate to come out of the primaries. Kasich would be doing well (I have no doubt) but I think Cruz, Bush or Rubio would actually be doing worse. Could you imagine how boring an election Clinton - Bush would be right now..... God, no one would be talking about the election at all.

This is good for the country. This is good for a generation of people that are fed up with Washington. I'm still strongly voting Trump and I'm doing so for very smart reasons. I think Glenn Reynolds hit the nail right on the head: If you want "Checks and Balances" to return to our political system you HAVE to vote Trump. Because our Republic IS strong enough to prevent him from ruining the world. And the only way it will happen it to re-establish the founding fathers checks and balance system.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...-democrat-bias-trump-glenn-reynolds/89929744/

What has happened under Clinton - Bush - Obama has been a travesty of Constitutional destruction, of the balances of government playing games with each other for their own ends.

If there is one thing that WILL happen with a Trump presidency is that people will start to pay attention again to what the executive branch of government can and can't do. And what responsibility Congress has to start manning up to and behaving like. It's a precedence that could re-establish everything I love about our political system and bring millions of people back into the political discussion.

That's my hope anyway. And I don't think I'm far off in my analysis.

so you think the donald is willing to defer to congress because he has a long history of deferring to others and working with others. For this thought you no doubt have examples.

Oh, the media will be paying a HELL of a lot of attention to what the executive branch can and cannot do if Trump wins because 1) he's a Republican and 2) he's not the First Black President.
If Hildebeast wins she gets a pass because 1) she's a Democrat and 2) she'll be the First Woman President.

I don't claim to speak for del, but I think you miss his point. Del is saying that the incredibly brilliant structure of our government - the separation of powers - insures that Trump does not and cannot run roughshod over Congress or the Supreme Court, but he CAN change our approach. Specifically, for decades we have had Kodos and Kang exchanging authority, and consistently driving the middle class out of existence, and the United States into matters that should be none of their concern.
 
Tibs...I didn't say the standard of living hasn't gone up during the Obama years. It definitely has for those looking for handouts.

Again... no one has explained to me how the world is going to end with Donald Trump as President. How it's actually going to happen.

Will he piss some countries off and be friendly to others? Wow... like that hasn't happened over the last 200 years. Is he going to REALLY drop a nuke on someone? You really think that's a reality? Is he going to drone strike more than Obama (who does so without a declaration from war from Congress btw)?

No one really has an answer for me on this. What is he really going to do? What is congress going to LET him do? We see what Obama can do when he has the DOJ and IRS and EPA (which are all left wing in principle), but is Trump going to have those things under his thumb like Clinton will? Not a chance and YOU know that Vis. You KNOW it in your heart.

I don't think so. I see a person who really will pull the curtain back on the Wizard of Oz we all call Washington D.C. because he will be so frustrated nothing is getting done. And that will be a good thing.

The Cheeto Jesus who's running for President (as opposed to Trump and his views before he went political) loves Putin because he wants the same power. He wants to control the press, he wants everyone in his party to follow his lead without exception or quit, he wants total control over the military without oversight. However, I don't really believe Trump wants to win. I'm with those who thinks he wants to start a media empire to the right of Fox. He knows a Clinton presidency will drive the crazy far right to his station. Fox sees this coming. Ailes is in Trump's camp and Hannity will change teams.

Trump's supporters look at him like they look at clouds and see any shape that appeals to them. Trump says he's now a devout Christian and the evangelicals buy it without questioning Trumps actions throughout his life. Trump says he has great businesses and his supporters refuse to look at how he had personal success from a plethora of failed businesses by bankrupting them and screwing his partners, contractors and employees. (He's profiting from the campaign in similar ways - not paying staff, paying himself for services to the campaign, etc...)
 
These are great, if you haven't seen them you gotta check them out. Hilarious... These are all Trump's actual words, just done with a voiceover more fitting to the man.
