Trump always says that as his platform. This implies America was great at some point in his mind. Does he mean when America was at its greatest under FDR? Under Eisenhower when the top earners were taxed at over 90 percent? Or under Reagan when we were broke and spending like crazy and inflation was rising?

What time period is he referring to or what time period do you think it means when he says "again"?

Since America itself has never been great I think he refers to a time when Native Americans were inhabiting the continent.
It's also funny because he can't really do anything.

a lot of folks long for "the good old days."
so it's suppose to refer to whatever one wants it to refer to.

I do actually ask this question as well.

It would be nice for someone to actually ask him to clarify.

Trump doesn't really have any plan other than "wall". This bothers me. Whether people agree with Sanders or not, you can not deny that he has plans and has been forthright with what they are.

People may not like them, but they are numerous and he is honest enough to put them out there for you to see.

Prior to the White House infestation over the last seven years.

Prior to the rise of liberal stupidity over the last seven years.

Prior to a time when momma's boys with bitchtits thought their opinions mattered.

You mean like Bernie saying he's going to pass "comprehensive immigration reform" over and over solely to woo Latino voters?

Old senile Bern stole his immigration ideas directly from Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

Practice saying it now......President Donald Trump!!!!!

Perhaps (In regard to the Bernie statement about immigration reform). That said, Trump won't win the election. The US is smarter than that.

The reality, and you know that Trump has nothing except "Wall" and immigrants are bad. You know this.

but Trump has repeatedly said that after George W. Bush, "Abraham Lincoln couldn't have been elected."

so it doesn't sound like W's presidency was the golden age.

No, one thing is clear after the last two presidential elections and that is you could never understate how stupid the liberal voters are.

I'd imagine his deep rooted hatred for America comes from his inability to compete with average Americans on anything on a daily basis

I mean....he has a bowl haircut, a beak for a nose, 12-inch arms, and tits.

I am not against him. He provides endless entertainment by playing the buffoon.

I am not worried in the least because when he is serious, he is actually more Liberal than Hillary Clinton. I hope you don't think you are electing Trump the Buffoon (which is what you people seem to like). Its just an act he plays.

Look to his book, his in depth serious interviews of years past before political office was on his agenda and look to people who know him personally and what they say he believes versus what he is acting like.

So no, I am not concerned in the least about Trump because he is a decent Liberal when it comes down to it.

Or how the conservative runners seem to shoot themselves in the foot with various things.

For a guy that's "not concerned", you start about 10 anti-Trump threads a day and post in countless others.

The True Adonis · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2016, 04:42:58 PM »

I have said this many times, I would vote for Trump over Hillary based on the fact that Hillary is too tainted and that Trump is more liberal and I think he has the capability of destroying the Republican Party for the good of America and for the good of that shitty party. He has done an excellent job thus far.

Here's your boy a raggedy old race traitor. Guy didn't get a real paycheck until he was 40 years old. A self proclaimed socialist. A "champion" for welfare bums minitories. Just what this country needs right. More assholes like him. Bernie supporters are fucking shameful.

I believe we were speaking of the previous elections (2008 / 2012), however, let's take this year and be very honest.

Do you believe that insulting pretty much everyone except white men and black men makes for a winning ticket?

I mean, Trump has insulted pretty much every demographic to the point where honestly, the only people who will vote for him on a large scale are white men age 35-65.

Do you believe that is enough to win the general election?

The True Adonis · « **Reply #23 on:** February 23, 2016, 04:46:24 PM »

Bernie for the win though!

Delegates are still tied at 51, Superdelegates DO NOT count until all the primaries are decided. Bernie is still pulling forward in every single state and Hillary backwards.
