Your last line also explains why harper is no more.
He's resonating with so many Americans because the country has a long-standing (like, since before it's founding) history of latching onto one specific group of people Every. Single. Generation. and blaming them for all the ails of their country.Quote:

That they're being swayed by someone preaching the drivel Trump is, doesn't surprise me in the least. What surprises me are the people who claim to be surprised that the American population is so weak minded, when they've seen this crap time and time and time again.
Trump has flip flopped so much ON EVERY SINGLE ISSUE that even he can't keep straight what his opinions truly are any more.
And i don't believe for a second that he's got no puppeteer strings attached to him. The guy isn't a Bill Gates. He's a very small fish in the world of big business. He's owned by somebody somewhere.
Well Mott , now we are getting somewhere. Mcanne, not so much.
Why not?Quote:

Someone at a rally may get shot only if the person attacks someone else - it's called self defense - its the protesters that are acting more like the Nazis - they won't let someone who doesn't share their view speak - I hope Trump wins this election - I was for Cruz but now that I saw what the protester represent I'm for Trump -
One other thing - these punks that are protesting are the last people who will ever serve this country - they would go to Canada before serving - and if there was ever a need to institute the draft they would riot - so if you are dead set on letting 18 year olds vote then make it only those that put time in the service - not these young mindless punks - I often hear politicians say that we are going to leave the next generation with a big debt because of the way we are spending - in a way I think that is good - it will force them to start working and face life as the way it really is - not a party
Ummm - no. Sanders has made expensive promises that have to be paid for by the working man.Quote:

And I don't mean the union or public service working man, I mean the working man that has to look after himself.
Billionaires Secretly Meeting.....Why?
To find a way to keep Trump out, because they want to keep their money making businesses (overseas) just the way they are... and having Trump as a leader will cost them money....
