Trump Says Country Wants Border Wall, But That’s Not What Polls Say

The country said in 2010 it didn't want Obamacare!! Did that matter to Obama...NOPE!

Obamacare was good.. it stopped the escalation of healthcare costs which have been out of control for 30 years... and more people were covered.. It wasn't perfect, but it was a good start. People in the healthcare business understood it even if you don't.

Trump made lots of extravagant promises about healthcare (which he knows NOTHING about) and hasn't kept any of them.

I support a strong, at least two party government. I love good debate, respect opposing ideas, know I don’t have all the answers, politicians use to mix, socialize, compromise. I truly hope that these new faces bring that back to our government.

I’m excited for Susan Brooks - R., to mentor the new Congresswomen and spread the bi-partisan love.

Smart people with good intentions who are well-informed can usually solve problems equitably. That's just not Trump's thing.

They wanted the ACA, by calling it Obamacare, they poisoned it. Poor uninformed Republicans thought the two were different, it was sad.
 
Daffy said the Vatican has a wall, so it must be a good idea. They built in in the 1640s. Back then it may have been useful. Anyone think the Vatican wall is a big deterrent now? The Chinese built an enormous long wall. The Mongols got around and through. Perhaps Trump thinks we should have moats and alligatiors. They worked long ago.
I am glad Americans are too smart to buy that stupid idea.

Trump is poorly educated and not a thinker.. He just shoots from the hip because he has a "big brain".. Its a mistake to expect too much from him.

We could be witnessing the death of the Republican party. Greed, wealth-extraction and hatred do make a good platform.

Democrats better represent the real America. Diverse, struggling dedicated people who want to live in a harmonious society.

I think gerrymandering, the loss of the fairness doctrine, and the decline of our media (the Fox News effect) have poisoned our political institutions.


When a district is gerrymandered to ensure a Republican victory, it tends to favor an outcome for the most partisan, most rightwing candidate - one who has little fear of losing an election, and operates under the assumption that his/her only job is to represent the most partisan part of their base - rather than representing their district.

Excellent point.

I think you're onto something.

Pelosi should offer him a moat around the WH.

we will


and then there will be a realignment


between the Independent voters and the more conservative of the dem party.


the republican party will likely survive to some extent as the racist party


we will still end up with two major parties

its what American history shows over and over again when a party major dies
 
I don't want a wall.

I think it is a waste of money.

It would be a monument to hatred.

If he gets it, we should call it the 'Wall Of Shame.'

You know what could happen.

The Republican party implodes.

The Democratic party splits into two parties.

yes but slowly


First the Democratic party fixes everything we all agree on.


then the secondary things start getting discussed


then splits and sides begin to form

then some NEW party begins to form


and IF we kill fake news like fox


the people will get the truth and will agree on facts


but be able to differ in their way of viewing our path


its a healthy thing



think of it

Two strong parties working full time to OUT THINK each other to progress.

its was how the founders designed it


the election cheating of republicans destroyed that
