Yes. That’s the whole point of liberals wanting open borders. The more open they are then they get the votes of those that come in to become a citizen. Pretty much sealing any future elections.

I am somewhat liberal and do not want open borders, where does that come from?
 
Joe Biden will likely pick a black female as a running mate. Just to try to get the black vote and female vote. I’ll be honest I was embarrassed to be a American under Obama administration Biden will be no different

I'm and independent and have never voted for Obama, Hillary, or Trump. IMO, if the Dems stick with Biden in the general election, they are handing Trump 4 more years. Biden's mental faculties seemed to have diminished greatly since he was VP and that will be exposed by Trump's campaign in the debates leading up to the election. For the Dems to win the general election in Nov, they will have to energize the moderates and independents in the swing states to pull their lever. Biden won't do it. If they were to draft Cuomo in their convention and Biden takes a seat for his party, Cuomo will easily pull the swing states in and win the election.

Him or I like Gary Johnson too. Legalize marijuana and release everyone from jail and expunge records of anyone caught with small possession charges. Not sure what to do with major dealers but at least start there.

If you call yourself "conservative", "republican", "lean right of center", and you support Trump, you really need to just chill and do what I am about to do and leave this thread. Stop feeding the negative haters on here (They don't give a flip about you). You are gonna be ok. The virus will pass, things will begin to slowly pick back up going into election season. When that time nears you have a choice. You can hold your nose and vote for what's REALLY in your best interest (a business friendly president) or you can vote for Joe Biden and kiss it all goodbye. Choice is yours to make. Cut your TV off, do what you do, take care of your family, STAY POSITIVE! and show up on election day like you did in 2016. That's really all you can do. Put your SELF FIRST. Its your country too and you don't have to get along to get by. Be smarter and better prepared and you will be fine

Okay so you want thread censorship now? We all are entitled to an opinion, negative or positive. The moment you say leave this thread, you start becoming no better than authoritarian nations are. Life isn't all pretty and some of use like to be a thing called REAL.

Dont want that at all young fella. Im not gonna stick around to argue with "what I think" are negative people. My post was directed at fellow Trump supporters. They can do as they choose and will. I enjoyed the back and forth but its become a waste of time in my opinion......best of luck to you

Dang, talk about a complete and total misread and putting words in his mouth. It's to be expected although still extremely dissapointing..

How anyone supportive of a national embarrassing buffoon like trump can say they were embarrassed by Obama blows my mind and I say this as a conservative who was no fan of Obamas

Yeah I like him alot. Whatever happens the Republican Party can never nominate the typical politician like pre Trump that they've done in past. Too many lies and not enough distinction between the Democratic Republicans in the past. we need non politicians that have actual career outside of politics.

trump was not a politician and all he does is lie.

Classic ostrich burying their head. It's easier to ignore trumps flaws than see anyone address them.

Jeez he sent billions of dollars to Iran in the middle of the night. Obama care was so expensive people couldn’t afford it and he mandated healthcare and fined those that didn’t have it. I am a proud American under president Trump!

Trumps a national joke. Foreign leaders laugh behind his back( they were caught on open mic) he has shown his total inability to lead in almost every case he has had to.

Nope I was no Obama fan but trump is just as bad. Trumps tax cuts are just as bad for us as Obama sending money to Iran. We will be the ones paying for it for decades to come.

He dismantled the mandate thank god. But reason he hasn’t done more is because of Nancy pelosi and Congress. Even before Democrats won the majority in Congress. Congress and senate couldn’t agree on a plan so there’s nothing else that could be done on healthcare

Maybe if he was a leader and who sat grownups down and had grown up conversations about national policy we could have. Instead he rambles off incoherent tweets that his cult members high five each other over.

Your joking right? Trumps tax cuts has increased paychecks. And gave businesses more money to pay employees more and hire new workers. Obama was horrible for the us economy. Trump has did a excellent job leading the country through the Caronavirus pandemic.

The problem is they hate Trump. Politicians won’t put there hate aside for America. That is why we need senate and congress term limits

Minimum wage unchanged, tax cuts for the wealthy.

The mandated fine, which actually has some GOP origins, has the actuarial science related purpose of trying to maintain the average health of the members of the pool of insureds. By doing so, you allow for the insurance to work. If you don't, you'll end up with a higher % of unhealthy insureds, which would mean higher average claims, which would mean premiums would need to increase to pay for those higher claims. Then when the premiums are increased, you'll have even fewer healthy folks choosing to get insured. It becomes a vicious circle.

So, the mandated fine has nothing to do with liberal politics. This is such a misconception.

I don’t believe in mandating healthcare on anyone.

In some cases but in other cases. Some workers got raises and bonuses. If we ever get a $15hr minimum wage I can almost guarantee you will have a record high unemployment number.

Yeah I have and only make $9hr now. Probably the reason my family of 5 makes less then 20k a year and qualifies for ebt and Medicaid. Life happens

Yeah, so I just want to warn all you Trump supporters that because of his constant finger-pointing and playing the blame game, that I would be willing to bet my stimulus check, that he will absolutely be a one-term president. I have no problems with Republicans, btw. I have an issue with having a demented sociopath as POTUS. Big difference.
 
My stance is I will not ever vote for anyone. Who believes in abortion and high taxes and taking guns away. I also will not vote for anyone that’s against religion. That’s where I stand on that.

I’m thankful to have a job. And while $15hr sounds good. I know there will be very few jobs available. Because they won’t be able to afford to hire people.
