yes, everyone is an expert in hindsight Michael Moore was the only one to really send the warning signals early that the rust belt were being duped by the ultimate salesman the ironic thing is even Moore's brilliant piece 'Trumpland' was manipulated by Trump supporters to actually show Moore was backing Trump... So easy to cut out just a few sound bites and label them whatever you want and a certain part of the ignorant masses will drink the koolaid throw in all the other fake news, 30 years of Hillary conspiracy crap, etc etc I spent 6 months in W. Lafayette IN the past yr from Jan to June... I saw first hand the idiocy of peeps who thought Trump was some sort of populist who would bring jobs back and the hysterical hatred for Hillary, with nothing to back it up but Emails! Benghazi! (BTW, these were people with well-paying jobs, co-workers, $10K per month, huge in the rust belt)... but of course I never thought there were so many idiots to actually elect the incredible disaster we are facing

That was good. You do have your moments-lol. << On the other hand, there's economic trouble due- and I'd like to see it end up on a reptard's head. Also, this particular reptard seems to be out looking for rope to hang himself, so I'm all for that. I hope he finds lots and lots of rope and is very good at knots.
