why can they not put aside their feeling and work for the great good of american.  why do they keep getting relected year after year is it because of pac funds  80 million spent for a texas race  it nuts . how do we bring it back home . i write i call but i am so frustrated with both side. i like trump i voted  for him

but would he shut up and leave them guessing

I'm actually learning a lot more about politicians than I ever thought I would. 
It's extremely hard for the common man to compete with a career politician. Elections are insanely expensive. You've got to have people to help fund raising, to oversee the campaign, to track finances and keep it all legal. 

I'm hoping it can be done so we get more "regular" people who are grounded and intelligent into office instead of politicians looking out for their own wallet  

You and me both.    Politicians are slimy creatures.  But to actually get your name on a ballot is very difficult from what I understand, and if no one runs, I think it's an automatic re-election.  The seat won't go empty.   Write-ins could work, IF enough people knew who you were and wanted to write you in.  But again, that's hard to beat when there's a vote for all Rep. or all Dem. box on the ballot.  People don't care enough to look at all the people because they don't know most of them.  Research takes time. 

I also voted for Trump.  I am 100% voting for him again.   I really hope he takes into consideration the possibility of term limits.  Maybe we all need to write him about changing that for Congress. 

YES - we NEED term limits for congress. 

Many Democrats are changing their monikers to "Socialist" Democrats.  They want your wealth, health, food and firearms controlled by the government.  Bernie Sanders didn't sugarcoat it.  He wants to raise taxes drastically on the middle class and says we'll learn to love it. Elizabeth Warren has been asked repeatedly if her Medicare for all plan will raise taxes for the middle class.  She refuses to answer, only states that it'll be okay because our costs will go down.   Young people are buying into socialism because they like the sound of free stuff.  They may have to fight 22 million illegals living in this country for that.

bernie just said a 42% in sales tax  how dioes that grab you  i would so love foer these idiots to  young and old to really look at cuba  venazula

tax wise look at canda

Bernie has three houses and at least three million dollars.  Wonder if he plans to share that.   

one of the worst things that has ever happened in our political/electoral process is the advent of the st8 ticket ballot. 

Do away with that and a lot of thing would change. 

Call me stupid, but what is the "st8 ticket ballot?"

You can select to vote straight down your party line without looking at who's actually running. 

Oh. Wow. Idk why I'd never heard of this.

Because people are too danged lazy to do their OWN research let's just vote for a party. Sounds like a great idea.

Anyone want to predict who will win the 2020 Presidential Election?

Do you believe the polls?

nope i don/t

And now we're gonna get to do an impeachment. . . Or possibly. . . Like we don't have enough issues to deal with, Lord help us.  

With the present crowd on left Trump will win in a walk over. I would say he will win at least 40 states. Pepole will vote thier pocket books. No I do not believe the polls. You can make them say anything you want by who you ask and how you fram the question. My only fear is that pepole we get lazy and not get out and vote.

I loved the comment Diamond & Silk made this morning to Nancy Pelosi in their disgust about yesterday's joke of a proceeding.  It went something like Nancy, California is on fire.  Do something more constructive than trying to take down the President of the United States.  

So Nancy appears on a comedy show last night to make her comment for the fourteen thousandth time "nobody is above the law."  Yes Nancy, we heard you the first time.

When the people in congress are the ones that change the law on term limits how do you expect it to change???  

If you are upset with what is going on in the House of Representatives, find how how YOUR representative is voting. Vote them out!  I know how my representatives and senators vote. They were all at the Trump rally in Dallas. All congressman work for you. If it is building a new automobile plant — they should try to get in their district/state. If it is raising taxes, they need to consider how it will affect the greatest number of people they represent. Obama cut down on domestic drilling for oil/gas, That affected the trucking industry, school districts including teachers and students. What I am saying is that the ball is in your court. Be aware of who you are voting for and make sure that you do vote. 

I just saw where the stock market hit a record high today.  Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer.......are you watching? Are you making money hand over fist as you try to overthrow a President who works his butt off for this country.  Is he a bit rough around the edges, yep, do most of us care, nope.

In the primary, you do need to check them out. Find out who endorses them, who they agree with, what their views are on issues that mean something to you. 

But in the general election, vote straight repub.  You can think what you want,  but my reason is you never know if a repub will be a RINO or not if they have no history to look at, but it's a sure bet that a dem is going to be a dem 100%.  They stick together like rice. 

I will vote Trump even if I have to write his name on the ballot.  This "impeachment farce" is not going to take him down.  They are so desperate to stop him they are making fools of themselves along with their MSM choir. But it won't matter in the end, they are toast.  Barr and Durham are flamethrowers and the deep state traitors are marshmellows.

I'm crushed to learn that Beto has decided to drop out.  Then again, they have plenty of dingbats left to take his place.  Speaking of dingbats, I see Bernie has earned the coveted AOC endorsement.  The announcement came in Iowa of all places.  Just think about that....Iowa, corn, and beef cattle.  Bernie parades this dingbat out who wants to rid the planet of cows.  I bet that went over like a fart in church.  Uffda

The Congresswoman who wears the diaper on her head was at a Bernie Sanders rally calling for an end to Western Imperialism.  All in for overthrowing the President in favor of socialism and open borders.  She hopes illegals will be future members of Congress like herself.   

She's a dumbA$$. What does she think he's doing?  Getting us out of these stupid senseless wars that have nothing to do with anything except putting puppets in power the C_I_A can control.  He's knows what they've been doing all these years and he's cutting the strings and getting us out of all that.  There are much better ways to deal with rogue nations if they really are rogue. If Killary had won, we'd be in a war with Russia right now. 

Sadly many will vote for a democrat.............the latest is Pete Buttigieg.........he sounds good.......looks good.........some label him as a moderate..........nah........just go check out his page...........

Mayor Pete will gain momentum.  Watch and see.  

I agree.  

The question is besides Cal. Ny. will middle America vote for him? To me not one Dem running has enough support to win the frist ballot at the convention. Which means thier supper delegates will decide this again. They can draft another candidate  at the convention.
