Go Hillary!!!!!
Many of you may not remember the HW Bush years but they sucked. The Bill Clinton 90’s were great and I’m not buying the GOP’s spin on dot.com bubbles. The bottom line is the middle class was doing great at the time. And I’m not going to ignore that HW Bush invented NAFTA and that more Republicans than Democrats signed it. If NAFTA sucks that’s no reason to vote for Republicans because they invented it. What does NAFTA represent? It represents corporations maximizing their profits by cutting labor costs. American workers make too much. So don’t kid yourself thinking Trumps going to do anything different than what Bush said he wanted to do, which didn’t work. Trickle down economics and deregulations. The GOP caused the Great Recession and Obama got us out.
Then Americans thought, “how bad could GW Bush be?” and they voted for him because Gore was a nerd and the American people were tired of the Clinton/Gore administration but the fact is what they were really sick of was the GOP’s constant crying about the Clinton/Gore administration. So they decided to try someone new and look how bad Bush did. And all the while Republicans were saying the fundamentals of our economy were strong while we were headed for a great recession. So why would we believe Republicans now when they say we are on the wrong track? Sure growth could be better but at least we have growth.
Trump has done what the tea party and libertarians have done. He’s taken the very unpopular GOP party and put a little different spin on it. Do we have an illegal employer problem? Well sure. But keep in mind we don’t hate immigrants when the economy is strong. When we need help we like the cheap labor. I don’t like it but the point is illegals become less of a problem when we are all working and doing jobs illegals aren’t doing.
Trump is a freak and a liar. He almost won me over about 5 months ago so I get why he’s popular. But he has way too many negatives. He would be an embarrassment and he would make UGE mistakes. Bigly.
Thank you! I'm glad he didn't win you over about 5 months ago. I knew what he was out of the gate. I've always been good at spotting con men and grifters. He's even worse than all the carnival barkers I've ever encountered put together.
