Robo, I so wish Colbert would give up his talk show and bring the Report back!

This will only make Trump more popular. there is a reason Trump speaks to his supporters on a 4th grade level.

There was another great gem from Stephen Colbert: "I'm not sure if I am horrified or entertained. It's like watching one of those nature documentaries where the python unhinges its jaw and slowly swallows the capybara. And then becomes President of the United States."

At least Hillary, and esp Bill, are real policy wonks. They eat up things like reading legislation and studies and hearings. They love considering and weighing issues. While you may not trust them to make the right decision, they will at least think about it and will have heard both sides.

Trump, OTOH, doesn't seem to think about much of anything but "Trump!" He has reversed himself and denied saying things he's said even on the campaign trail, let alone what he's said years ago. He is a total loose cannon, a spoiled brat, who considers nothing immutable including his own net worth, which he says changes day to day based on his mood. I sure wouldn't want his rash finger on the button, let alone anything else.

The only candidate who stays above the fray, stays on point and is open and consistent on his policies and is willing to focus on the fundamental problems we face including the corrupting influence of money on governance is Bernie.

It is very much in the interest of the liberal MSM to keep hawking Trump and it is very much in the interest of the right-wing media to remain silent about Bernie. But it is up to us, the voters, to vote...that's the fundamental way we can make a difference.

I disagree with your opinions about Hilary Clinton, and President Obama too, for that matter Beagles. And as for the Supreme Court nominees, I would rather have seen Bozo the Clown sitting on the bench than either justices Thomas or Alito. Now we have one of them down and another seemingly about to open his mouth and 1. make an idiot of himself and 2. cause irreparable harm to the judicial branch. If the system works as it is supposed to, Obama will appoint Alito's replacement and the next president the upcoming vacancies (future retirements or deaths).

As a "limousine liberal" i guess I will be dusting off the limo to take poor voters to the polls....although my limousine is a 2008 Prius which I bought out of apparent misguided concern for the environment.

Bill is probably not be a true believer. Hillary has the same ties to Alinski, et al as Obama.

Hilary is presenting herself as having an ideology like Obama or, heck, even like Sanders, TODAY because she thinks that is what will win.

If she thought that campaigning with a tough-on- crime bill and talking about super predators and coming out against gay marriage would win her the election, that would be her ideology.

The Clintons care about getting power, money and connections for the Clintons. That's the only thing that's been consistent over their entire political career.

Since republicans are going to keep the house no matter what, she'll cut deals w/ them that anger her base and that benefit her backers so Bill can keep making his 6 figure speeches (assuming he can take time away from fooling around w/ young white house interns) and her hedge fund running son in law can get huge sums of cash from big democrat donors despite underwhelming returns and Chelsea can get paid $600K for interviewing lizards on NBC. It's actually funny how much she and her family are an embodiment of everything progressives claim to hate, but no one notices b/c Trump.

I actually don't really worry too much about how she'll govern (I was WAY more worried about how Obama would) b/c I think Obama was a true believer in the leftist cause... Hillary- no way is she a true believer and I don't think she'll use her political capital to push the country any further left. I doubt we'll see anything done in the next 4 years if she's elected, and if my choices are Trump vs. Hillary I think on balance I would prefer Hillary and gridlock (EXCEPT for the Supreme Court... that's the only real damage I think she could do and that's my biggest fear if she wins!)

On Facebook:

Trump - 6,105,160 likes

Hillary - 2,666,274 likes

If you're wondering who's supporting Trump, just read the comments on his FB page and look up the user profiles. Sigh...

Beagles - Hillary's ideology is the same as President Obama's. She may be even more of a progressive. A vote for Hillary is 4 to 8 more years of President Obama policies. Democrats should be rooting for Trump, as polls show all the Republican candidates except Trump beat Hillary.
