Trump will clean house

[kevin kiernan]

Crooked politicians must be held accountable for the crimes they have done. Trump is the only one who will do it. To elect a POTUS who will not prioritize fixing our criminal political system will not be good enough for me.We will not get another one like Trump ,who will bitch slap the evil out of Washington politics..No one can deny that Trump is crazy enough to do it. But he needs us to want it fixed. He can not stand alone..This is that time in history. The time that many have hoped. Turn your back on this opportunity,and we are done. THAT IS THE TRUTH OF IT.

M if Trump continues to fall in the polls like he has since the convention, I would not be surprised to see him exit the stage even before the first debate. Trump is known to cut bate and run at the first signs his credibility maybe hurt. Remember this was all done to elevate Trump's enterprise market value. That is all he has!  If he loses this election badly his balance sheet could go from balanced to unbalanced. His creditors, wife and children won't be very pleased with that outcome.

Clinton's third-party headache

Polls show younger voters are taking a long look at the Libertarian and Green Party nominees this year. That could be a big problem for Hillary Clinton in a close race against Donald Trump.

That actually should be a major problem and wake up call for both major parties

At this point Charles I think the only headache Hillary has when she gets in the WH how does she keep Billy out of the news.

Dems trolling for votes
Some Republicans say they're breaking away from the party now that Donald Trump is presumptive nominee

Well there you have it. one can only go so far against a red tide before capitulation. Almost two weeks after the masterful insertion of khan Trump has had to capitulate.
IMO with Fox news on the down low the poles are so construed It's hard to tell exactly who's on first.
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is striking a rare tone of party unity.

In addition to formally endorsing House Speaker Paul Ryan, Trump on Friday evening also threw his support behind Arizona Sen. John McCain and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, with whom he has sparred.

Trump says, "We have to unite."

He says that, as president, he will need a Republican Senate and House to accomplish all of the changes he wants to make.

He adds that, "This campaign is not about me or any one candidate," and says: "We will have disagreements. But we will disagree as friends and never stop working together toward victory."

Remember the current house had the opportunity to not elect ryan , so i guess this is all no surprise.

Charles, politics is a game of votes. You don't get very far without it. Trump manged to get through the primaries as the victor but that is not a great feat considering 16 other candidates competed. Winning a general election is much harder then a primary. Trump needed to have a plan and an organization in place to run a general election. Instead he though his same message would resonate with the general population and he alone could get the voters to the pole. He is dead wrong on both assumptions and he better be very careful when the debates begin. I think a typical high school student could run circles around Trump in a debate.

Jack,

Depending on your political viewpoint that statement also completely exemplifies Hillary Too. The election will split between Those who still believe the Government owes them a living while they just sit back and bemoan their fate asking for ever more hand outs, and those who believe in EQUAL treatment and have a good work ethic and also believe they should not be stripped of their hard earned rewards so the government can remain able to pay the slackers and gimme gimme groups that vote for them. It will also depend on who the Disgruntled Libertarians and Green Groups who feel the Democrats have done very little to advance their agendas. I do not see this election as being like those in the past which depended mostly on personalities, and will for the first time in many years depend on Platforms and agendas for action.

M most individuals in America look for the easy way out. It has been that way for nearly 100 years. There are very few workers in America that really care about the quality of work they perform. Just look around at every industry in America, manufacturing or service and find a consistent quality output. You will have a hard time finding it. Each election cycle has less and less people participate. Those that do, 15% represent hard nose haters, 15% are represent the left wing cooks who think everything is owed to them and the 70% of voters that are left lean a little left or right and pick their candidate by personality. Liberals can't win with the 15% and conservatives can't win with the 15%. The only path to victory is to find a personality that the public hates least. Trump loses that race. I dislike Hillary more than I dislike Trump but Hillary can't harm America and Trump can in a heartbeat. Not a hard decision for me M.

There you go Jack,

Apologizing for Hillary again when she is consistent in her actions to use military actions. that bwill get the US in a shooting war we will have a hard time winning because of the Democratic/Socialists dismantling our military strength by leaps and bounds.

[jack ludwig]

There is your mistake M, Hillary or Trump will not get us in a military conflict with Russia or China. Those counties have long past that point as a means of defense. As I stated many times they have the ability to completely shut down America without using a single shot. I apologize for no one. Everyone must stand on their own comments. I stand firmly on mine.
