If the democrat's win all. It makes me feel like existing the system and they can come up with their own money to finance all their social programs.. Seriously got one finger on the sell button.. I've had enough with paying into a system that punishes the payee,s and their opinions. Cautiously optimistic! Bernie

I met GW once (more or less by accident) and spoke with him for about 15 to 20 minutes. This was before he became President. He was extremely personable and not a dummy. Have you ever noticed how utterly foolish the liberal faction is with their claims that everyone who is not a Democrat is "stupid"?. Bush supposedly has an IQ of about 125. That is still way above average and likely higher than the vast majority of Democrat politicians. . He went to Yale and Harvard and received his degrees. I don't think he did a great job as President, but as they say, you could definitely have a beer with the guy and it would be an enjoyable experience. He has a great personality

I have a friend who voted for Trump and is a solid Republican. In her words, "Trump is not often wrong. He is just not a likable person." If a Republican finds him distasteful, you can only imagine how Dems feel about him. Aside from all the other issues around Trump, since he is always so eager to tell everyone how great and smart he is and since he is always taking credit for anything that goes well, then it is at least fair that he should also be blamed for everything that goes wrong. Personally, I don't think he is wrong all the time. Nor do I think he is right. I think he is very malleable. What Trump is really great at is A/B testing. He throws in a lot of contradictory stuff and waits to see what sticks. Then he leverages that moves up, while still doing his A/B testing and switching sides as the tides turn. He is more akin to a day-trader than a private business investor.

<<It seems to work for the 20% extremists for both parties while 60% of us in the wide middle look on in horror as these 40% are ruining our country.>> YES! You voice my concerns perfectly. I had the same thought when the tea party was born - you had a small, but very vocal, minority who were able to influence policy on a scale I would never have believed possible. It's actually quiet scary, imo.

Kirk, I've mentioned this in the past, I've become an almost total lurker in recent years. I had to come on board today to say your post here about the relentless, loud, exaggerated and largely false accusations and claims against ANY current president, from the opposing party, was spot on! I'm among the 60% you allude to ... and look on in horror along with you.
