That's it. That's the report that's finally going to make Democrats stop blindly voting for Democrats.

I knew it would happen eventually. They enjoy the handouts, sure, but they've been eyeing that slow GDP growth all along, and God damn it, they've finally had enough of this bullshit.

They were clearly upset about it at the DNC.

Did Joe Biden and other top Dems spend the last four days talking up how great the economy has been doing under Obama and that Trump would ruin everything and Hillary will continue the same policies that made the US economy the "best in the world"?

Its not the actual GDP #. Its the barely positive GDP growth = bad economy = more people feeling the effects of a bad economy which could = just a couple percent less of the electorate that aren't hard core donks votes for her which could = the difference in the election..

What on earth makes you think having Trump as President would improve things? So he gets us into a bunch of trade wars. You think that's going to help?

He has no clue. You need to come to grips with that. He's not a viable alternative.

The problem with your argument is that your party, the establishment donks, basically got on stage and told all of America how great things are, and how well the economy is doing. And you are advocating for continuing that trend by voting for hilldog, you know a 3rd Obama term...but now the numbers are indicating that the economy isn't as rosey as the picture they painted. So you have no concerns about your stance?

JSO is OK with government officials lying in order to further their agenda. He's OK with them violating policies for personal convenience. He's OK with them telling the Secret Service, the ones that are paid to take a bullet for them, to "Go Fuck Yourself". He's OK with the way donk policies are geared towards growing votes versus growing jobs. His head is buried deep in the sand with rest of the donks. He is pathetic, just like the Clintons.

You don't really have evidence to show that Clinton ever told anybody in the Secret Service to go fuck themselves. I actually listened to Sean Hannity interview the guy who wrote the book in which that claim was made and it was hearsay. Something he heard sitting in the break room that he did not witness.

Otherwise: I am not "OK" with lying to further agendas or violating policies for personal convenience. But I am also not OK with putting a total nut job with emotional maturity and stability problems and who ALSO is a pathological liar to a degree that exceeds even Hillary's into the President position. To me the idea that someone would vote for Trump because Hillary lies is absurd because in voting for Trump they're voting for guy who lies practically every time he opens his mouth.

Trump, or any President, is just part of the engine. How do you not understand that?
I am voting for Trump because of the Supreme Court. I am voting for Trump because of people like Pelosi and Reid who operated the strings of the Obama puppet. I am voting for Trump to shake up the establishment. You said you heard Trump's speech today in Colorado Springs. Did you not hear him say that he wanted to fire back (hit) the speakers that hit him at the DNC. But he talked to a Governor that told him to not do anything. The only thing I saw from him was a tweet about Bloomberg. I'm banking on Trump being managed because there is very little that a President does that is not planned and calculated.

Obama's approach has been a miserable failure, and Hillary is going to double down on that. So its either Trump, who's appraoch might or might not work, vs Clinton, who's approach we KNOW won't work.
