1423633 2016-07-25 10:12:00 Take a look at the presidential hopeful in action:

A President Trump? (www.washingtonpost.com)

The Washington Post has this to say ...


Most alarming is Mr. Trump’s contempt for the Constitution and the unwritten democratic norms upon which our system depends. He doesn’t know what is in the nation’s founding document. [...]

Worse, he doesn’t seem to care about its limitations on executive power.

[...]

Mr. Trump campaigns by insult and denigration, insinuation and wild accusation: Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy; Hillary Clinton may be guilty of murder; Mr. Obama is a traitor who wants Muslims to attack.

Americans believed Ronald Reagan in 1980 and, because they believed him, they made his vision come true to the great benefit of the nation and the world. Many Americans believe Donald Trump today; the votes cannot be denied. But if Trump’s vision comes true, it will be a nightmare, not a dream.

Fortress America, here it comes.

What an idiot.

And he managed to become in charge.

Then look what happened.

If the idiots in the US vote for him, then they deserve what they will get.


As for that actor:

Reagan regularly raised taxes, increased the federal deficit by three times what it was when he took office, he bailed-out social security, gave amnesty to illegal immigrants, and provided funding and training for Islamic insurgents in Afghanistan to fight the Russians–the same insurgents who would later become the likes of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.7

Much of America’s astronomical debt can be attributed to Ronald Reagan.

1423635 2016-07-25 21:31:00 Well the "Washington Post" is the "Mouthpiece for the Democrats", as I understand it, so that sort of reporting is to be expected .

But from where I sit, it doesn’t matter much who gets in, as America is in a heap of trouble and a new policy of addressing the problems rather than sweeping them under the carpet may not be altogether a bad thing?

As for Trump, well he may meet the same fate as Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley & Kennedy because he is certainly rattling a few cages . :D

1423637 2016-07-25 23:43:00 I'm sorry but I take exception to the title.

God and Religion is the main cause of all this rubbish over in the USA, the fanatical adherence to the letter but not the spirit of an institution that should have died at the end of the Middle Ages.
Not to mention the cherry-picking of the parts that suit their narrow world view while completely ignoring those parts that don't.

1423638 2016-07-25 23:51:00 The other thing is that if you make a list of other World Leaders Trump looks like a Choir Boy compared to a lot of them. :D B.M. (505)
1423639 2016-07-28 10:14:00 I agree with you with one rider. If he gets to be president, he will have more power than most of them with his hands quivering over the big red button. They need to made the codes harder than the 8x0's that Reagan was supposed have. Perhaps they should use something like this........ 64328976065324567789576425780964323579009764334678 90008766754333569764334568996543236890086533344678 90087643223568990876543323467890087654432234578997 67865578975322468778909753223456778990987766543223 4567890099988999665555322453224567667 All to be entered only by him using fingerprint recognition and to be completed in 20 seconds.

Well now you've done it.

You've just released the code to the Clinton E-Mails. :D

1423642 2016-07-29 23:53:00 Heard about Reagans code which was 00000000 so they say :) The joke was that Reagan would accidently hit the button he would say "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh....what have I done?"
