A lot (Most in this case) of these candidates jump in so they can have a say in pushing the parties agenda. It just so happens that most of them have gone so far left of lunacy with the socialist tendencies, that most voters with an once of common sense are just not going to vote. Biden has no shot at beating Trump I don't care what any poll says. Bloomberg has a good shot at sneaking on but he wont beat Trump either. Our nation is rolling and even most Trump haters aren't going to deny that. Those that can't stomach voting for Trump because of their "emotions" will just stay at home replaced by somebody that wouldn't normally vote for him but doesn't want this economy touched.

Rolling??? Stagnated if anything...
 
Trump is riding Obama's economy train. Things have stagnated im a industrial contractor at six plants nothing is booming. I never thought I'd live in a country were people think it's ok to vote for someone like him. That's scary goes to show how fox cnn ECT has brainwashed the country.

You live in a country where a someone like Bill Clinton was elected, a man like Barack Obama was elected twice and Hillary Clinton was almost elected. It shouldnt suprise you in the least. The economy may be stagnant in your neighborhood but for most it actually is doing quite well

The economy is going to retreat at some point, always has and always will. It may happen next year, it may happen 3-4 years from now. I am intelligent enought to know that many factors the POTUS has no control over can set us back. So to answer your question, NO I wont be blaming Trump, but Im sure you will be here leading the charge

I actually wont be blaming him, just like I give him little credit for the current state of the economy.....Trump is not as responsible for the good economy over the last several years as his base claims, the flip side is true when it all goes to crap....the Dems will blame him and that will mostly be misplaced.

He's got a point though. MSM of both sides is brainwashing. Fox is no better than CNN but on the other end of the spectrum. They discourage free thinking and encourage you to become reliant on them. As far as the Trump economy thing, it never truly is the president who makes or breaks the economy. Obama did what he could to help legislation created by CONGRESS to be passed. Trump is no different but what worries me is what has been mentioned before, which is congress and Trump together letting govt spending stay up. This is not healthy in a booming economy.
 
Things look pretty bad for the citizens in Iran, “Tehran may have killed more than 1,000 protesters during the deadly clampdown against anti-regime protests, the U.S. State Department said. “As the truth is trickling out of Iran, it appears the regime could have murdered over a thousand Iranian citizens since the protests began,” the U.S. Special Representative for Iran, Brian Hook, disclosed on Thursday. Video footage cited by the U.S. State Department showed Iranian security forces encircling a group of unarmed protesters, shooting indiscriminately at them from machine guns mounted on pickup trucks and mowing down at least 100 demonstrators in this single incident.” Source

Sometimes it helps to have some perspective on how “bad” we really have it when in the end we are incredibly blessed and live in an amazing country despite political differences we have.

This is also a reminder that the majority of Iranians do NOT like their fundamentalist Islamic leadership. One of my best friends is an Iranian-American who has educated me over the last 30 years. These folks are pro-western/US. They are Persians first and foremost.

Trump supporters only ask that people who dislike him will be neutral as well and hold the same standard. It's important we hold ourselves to the same standard for the good of the people and until there is a fair process, all the facts and witnesses are able to be put forth, there is no way this standard is met. It's the only real thing we can depend on even in court for disputed traffic tickets. Feelings and dislike of ones behavior is certainly not what Supreme Court Judges go by so neither should we. It's not like only 20 people voted for Trump. It's was the majority so people should be very careful here I think.

It was definitely not the majority. Stop lying and if you aren't lying please educate yourself.

Calling him names is divisive eh? How bout this, just ignore his ways that you don't like. We like it. You don't. Who's right? Doesn't really matter. You know we like him and your not going to make us not. We know the times and behaviors are peculiar. We also know there are reasons and a much bigger picture and maybe something peculiar is what we need. You or the left are not going to convince people who are happy economically that their lives are awful. People have been fearful of past Presidents. Weary even if they were doing good that the the future was unpredictable. What the people did that hated or feared Obama's agenda for instance is just live, pray about it, and go on our merry way and Vote. Talk about one to be concerned about....Obama. Was dangerous and still is...Even though, he never got treated the way Trump is being treated. People are going to find that he probably should have....

We don't want to convince you your life is awful. We want to show you that other's lives are and hope that you can discover empathy and hopefully vote for leaders who have leadership (imagine that) and who will work to help all citizens, not tear them down on Twitter and in their policy choices.

You’re generalizing way too much imo. How can you possibly say nobody has a worse life now even assuming more are better off thanks to the economy?

Soybean and cotton farmers hurt by the trade war with China due to lower sales as well as lower prices.

Good question. I have no idea as this is beyond what my knowledge can tell me. I didn’t say I’m necessarily against the trade war with China. I merely answered his question about who is worse off due to Trump’s policies. Whether or not the trade war will ultimately help the US as a whole, US soybean and cotton farmers have been hurt thus far.

I understand and I wasn't challenging you I just like to discuss things because I wouldn't know what to do either.

You can't help all citizens. The best you can do is protect their liberty and access to opportunity. A good way to do that is limited government, limited national debt and balance trade, and stop incentives for staying unproductive. It doesn't help people to remove the consequences from their foolish decisions.

Also, I agree that we should restrict all help to U.S. citizens. I'm glad we can agree that people that are entering the country illegally shouldn't receive any help from government institutions.
