Lets make this clear both parties are complete failures in working for the people. You listen to Dem Clinton and she says free college, higher wages,cheap medical care for all and people eat this stuff up, unbelievable. It will never happen as shown by Obama Care. Trump just keeps telling everyone how crooked Clinton is and he is right on that but he doesn’t think before he talks as a politician does so he cuts his own throat when makes stupid comments. It’s time to clean out all the chicken S/// in the Washington coop and put new birds in that will work for the people.

Republican, law and order, Christians? The same ones who started two senseless wars, gave tax cuts to the rich, spent several trillion of $ and destroyed the economy? Were they Pro-life family value wars? I bet that’s what Jesus would do!

The tough-guy Republican party might just as well give up and start a new party – they are so tough that they’ve allowed a mentally ill (really, he needs clinical help) demagogue, walk in, bitch-slap them, and steal their own party. Make no mistake, it is HIS party now, and it serves the Republican establishment right, after 30 years of stoking fear and hatred, with no message, no vision except to oppose the Left and obstruct change – hell, anyone can do that! What are you gonna call your new party? How about the “We Got Punked” party?

This trend is likely to continue as Trump blazes his swath of cynical ignorance through the teems of moronic deplorables. Here’s in hopes sanity will prevail come this November. Our very lives may depend on it.

It looks pretty good for now but it probably won’t last – the moronic deplorables are breeding.

Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem.
