How you liked Trump on the G7 Summit in Canada?

You feel ashamed of being an American because of him? You should. He desperately wants a trade war. He's rude and impolite. He's an impulsive big child. In Europe we just hope that you won't re-elect him.

  • Its what happens when you put someone with a character disorder in The White House. He won't be re-elected. He's only the third President in our history to win the Electoral College, while losing the popular vote. ...and he's become even LESS popular as his Administration wears on, and the Investigation in to Russian interference and his thnly veiled efforts to obstruct that investigation at evey turn wears on. Every indication at this point is leaning towards a "wave" election in November that will sweep Republicans from control of both Chambers of the Congress. Which will finally put some real checks upon his powers and his behavior....and restore the Congress to its rightful oversight function. But the big issue is who will be the candidate that the Democrats put forward to oppose him. The Democratic party in this country does a LOUSY job of grooming candidates for high level national office. We tend to act more like a loose confederation of narrow interest groups....than a national party. The other issue is that the party has hopped into bed with the same corporate interests that the GOP has. So instead of being the party of the working class AND minority groups like it was in years past, its struggling to NOT become a regional part of the coasts and metropolitan America....that only speaks to social issues. While the middle of the country is getting economically devastated. THAT is how Trump got elected. He had the sense enough to show up to the Midwest (which always plays a major role in who wins the Presidency) and speak to (lie about) the economic distress that de-industrialization is creating. Hillary Clinton foolishly took the support of that part of the country for granted....and stupidly ran around trying to "flip" what have been Republican stronghold states for decades. So the result is that she didn't win ANY of those "red states".....and she lost a number of "purple states". Because she basically didn't bother to show up to campaign....and had NOTHING to say to the issues that mattered to them. Democrats need a candidate who won't repeat those critical errors, and will build upon the successes of the Obama years in terms of turning out the vote.
