When it comes to Trump, this emoticon is so for you:  |
I've been dead wrong about Trump (his voter support).
I don't support Clinton, and I don't support Trump. Have I been frustrated during the GOP primaries? Absolutely. Now, it's a different type of frustration: "these are the two choices for president" frustration.

Well, I'm far from you then. I resigned myself a long time ago to the fact that the Presidency is always a choice between the lesser of two evils.
Long gone are the days where men and women of extreme intelligence, high principal, compassion, morals and a huge helping of common sense are going to be President.
And you know why? The 24 hour news cycle, which will reveal, report and put in your face 24/7 every single FLAW, every single MISSTEP and every single verbal flub ANY candidate makes (well, more the right-leaning candidates than the left, but I digress).
Hell, people didn't even know Roosevelt was in a freakin' wheelchair back in the day!
Those days are gone...and quite frankly, many of our beloved leaders of yesteryear were probably JUST AS FLAWED as our current crop, yet it was kept hidden from us.
Gain some perspective. Trump isn't as terrible a candidate as you and others like to proclaim, nor is he as amazing as some of his most ardent supporters put out there.
He's definitely different, and in my book, that's a very good thing.

Trump is not Hillary.
That makes him the best choice since 1992.

Trump is not all that different. There are 3 candidates left, Trump and the 2 Dems. All are running on the same basic proposition: the country is a mess and the government, under my leadership, can fix it.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem" -- Ronald Reagan
I don't see any candidate with a solution to that problem.

Trump is different on Saudi Arabia, and he's so right. It's just about the only thing that makes me want to vote for him, beyond Hill's the alternative.

Interesting polling data:

• 56% of voters have an unfavorable impression of Hillary Clinton (57% among indy voters)
• 55% of voters have an unfavorable impression of Donald Trump (58% among indy voters)
For the full poll, go here…

Wouldn't Biden have been a better choice for the Dems? I understand he didn't run b/c of his son's passing, but Hillary's such a horrible candidate. Hell, even Tom likes Biden!

No matter how stupid and biased some people are, you can "tell" that deep down inside, theya r basically good people and will do the right things when needed.
With Hillary, the "tell" is that deep down inside she is very shallow. There is no good in her at all. She is devoid of morality, integrity, honor.

If Donald Trump pissed me off enough even I would vote for Biden.
But that's a big if...

Joe Biden knows that his star does not burn bright enough to be elected President, he has served with distinction and will soon enjoy a well deserved retirement. Often the President Elect is one who has the fire in his belly and is willing to go for the jugular vein of all opponents, just my view of a contest called hardball.

Bringing back to the US companies that left due to taxes is a huge solution.

I guess Horses for Courses isn't going to post his funny little pictures anymore, so I'll have to fill in the gap.
