I paid perfect attention, sir. I read your post several times over.
I agreed with you on the majority of your points.
Trump is an entertainer, no different than Ricky Martin....
They are BOTH entertainers....yet you disparage the opinions of "entertainers" (with whom you do not agree).
Sad.
Sad Fail.

Are you aware that Reagan was responsible for closing all state-funded mental health faciities, and for lowering tax rates for corporations?
And how that has been the demise of the Middle Class?
Also, how he caused the epidemic of homeless, untreated mentally ill folks that communities are expected to 'look after' with no support whatsoever?
You aware of all that? Right?
And that since his presidency, the Middle Class has been set adrift? Because he cut corporate and rich-people tax rates?
You know that stuff....right??

I hope the whole political system goes down in burning fire... Trump is probably the best alternative but I doubt even he gets elected he will get a lot done. More like a sitting duck because the "establishment" doesn't want change.

Okay, fine.
I've looked back through. Maybe I confused your post with someone else's.
I also do not trust "entertainers", and Trump is just that...
a circus clown.
Right?
High five. Cool. Sorry for getting confused.
If you will simply replace trump, with the statement that politicians are circus clowns, which currently trump is acting like he is.

Let's not forget that he funded and armed the mujaheddin while they were fighting Russia and continued to do so. You know, a few guns for Osama, some radical Islam and now we have Al Qaeda.
Reagan is responsible for what we have today through his crappy proxy wars.

Done.
Except for Bernie.
That's where I draw the line.
Thanks, though....

Then why would you support Trump - the "entertainer" who has a Hollywood Star all his own...who says all sorts of things about 'politicans' being stupid??
Don't care what he is, not in my voting future. I just really don't care what Rickey Martin or any other entertainer has to say about politicians either. General statement on the Martin post, less about trump
Hmmmm?
I lived through it and it was the best this country has been during my lifetime. I am not brainwashed I was there.
The best President in my lifetime was former actor Ronald Regan. Al Franken is in politics. What's your point?
Reagan was a disaster for this country. His presidency is only held in such high regard by those brainwashed by the right wing propaganda machine.

I was aware he was on some illegal immigrant kick, was not aware he was denigrating Hispanics in general but I'll look into it.
It doesn't matter what he actually has said or what his actual position is, it is reading as extremely negative from the Hispanic perspective.
I know several people of Puerto Rican descent (second and third generation living on the mainland )who have never mentioned politics to me before but are now talking disdainfully about Trump every time I have seen them lately.
While I disagree with most of what's going on with politics and political parties the one thing that's great is in the end the voters will speak and all the speculation will end. Unless you think that with electronic voting machine are rigged and no way to audit them truthfully. In that case all the speculation ends and still a good thing.
Don't believe that either Sanders or trump will get elected. If a miracle happened and one did, I don't believe establishment politicians in congress would allow either to accomplish much.
