hope for the future.....is there

[Bob Penn]

As previously stated by others the one thing that scares me is, considering the size and population of this country, we can not come up with one honest, incorruptible man to run for the most prestigious position in this land. Maybe that's because only the wealthy can afford to run!!
Then again all the usual candidates come from just two very controlled parties. Perhaps that is why Trump is getting the following that he has been getting. The people see him as a hope that he will not be controllable by the machines we call our parties. But will he be honest? Only time and an election will tell. That is if the machine doesn't politically or physically assassinate him before he is even elected.
Hillary, is obviously part of the other machine with no hope of being honest or incorruptible. Scarier yet, if elected she plans to reinterpret the constitution.
Who should you vote for with a choice like that? HMMM.
Is this election really that important? When you consider the voters keep sending the same bought and paid for senators and congressmen back to Washington election after election. It's part of the good ole-boys rules you know. Here in PA we had one senator who wouldn't vote the way we thought he should and we threw him out of office. Next thing we knew he was running for president. Thank God the people were wise to him!
Therein may lie the real problem or solution. It is probably a good investment for an interested party to initially buy them when they keep coming back election after election and are in fact the ones who will vote on changes and add to the laws and bills that actually set the rules. How they vote is seldom reported on and few voters really know how their representatives are voting on bills, that is of course, if they even know who their representatives are.
When a president signs a bill of importance or vetoes one we usually all know how he voted and we can place the blame or credit on one man.
The real solution may be to pass a law highlighting any incumbent's name on the ballot form so we can vote any incumbent house member out of office after one term. It may then get too expensive for the interested parties to to buy them all. Think of how the parties would shudder if they had to reshuffle the deck every couple of years.

My two cents worth, from an ex British and Australian Army veteran and citizen of both countries.

Firstly i don't want to sound like i am blowing smoke up your arses or being viewed as patronizing and i certainly don't profess to be an expert in politics or indeed anything for that matter but i would like to make a couple of points.

The world, particularly the western world needs a strong America regardless of which of your leaders can give you that, Trump seems to be the closest to achieving that. I have seen the UK become almost totally ruined by useless and weak politicians and now i see Australia going down the same path. My forefathers, all our forefathers, British, Australian and American fought to make our countries what they used to be, only to see anyone just walk in and both undermine the very fabric of what our nations are/were and in a lot of cases abuse the privilege or worse still hate us for it.

I'll say this, none of us are blind and your country [America] was never perfect [where is?] and has made some mistakes but without your support and strength in two world wars our countries would have been crushed. Who are we looking to now again as the world and especially the South China sea area deteriorates, America.

Who would i rather have as a world power,leader and friend. America.

Somewhat simplistic and possibly naive but I for one say, Thanks to you Americans. Stay strong for all our sake's.

So the GOP and Tech leaders are holding secret meetings to figure out how to stop Trump. They are scared to death this Trump Train is unstoppable. If they attempt this, first it will backfire on the Republicans and they will be voted out of Congress, by their voters staying home and switching to Independant, and they won't regain it for generations. Second, there will be a revolt at the convention the likes we have never seen. This is exciting times.

[stroguy]

This is exciting. There are two unwelcomed candidates in the race and they both have secured my vote when the time comes. I am so sick of the RNC. They have finally stopped calling looking for handouts. When they send me mail and it has a metered return envelope it gets all of my Cruz flyers returned. If I had Trump mailings they would get them as well. The Republican party is screwed and this secret island meeting just tightened the noose around their gizzards. I wish a painful death to the party that stabbed their base in the back. They stabbed us before they stabbed the likes of hillaree, reid, pelosi and the whole ignorant clan on the democrat side. GO INSURGENT this November

[Vondawg]

Well said truthspeak. And I've not seen many Dems that like to be around Conservatives they think we're uneducated, love our guns and religion, they're so touchy and irascible .

[shooter]

I got a new ticket for November. Tax/Stro.

[53driver]

I got a new ticket for November. Tax/Stro.

+1 !!!!!!!!

[taxfree4]

I got a new ticket for November. Tax/Stro.

If I'm elected:
Shooter will be in charge of the Secret Service, blowing shit up and tank chroming.

53Driver will be piloting Marine One and will be ordered by the President to hover 100 ft. above Tony's house at 3 a.m. twice a week. If he attempts to shoot at the aircraft you have Presidential immunity to take him out. Preferably, a groin shot would be much more painful and a lot funnier, make a field decision.

BGLRY will be Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor of the new Dept. Of BBQ, Beer and Entertainment.

First order of business - sign an Executive Order providing for funds to buy Tony an F6B.

[shooter]

Tax , I wish you was my neighbor. Dang we would have a good time. Wonder how much it costs to have an M1 Abrams triplechrome plated. Tax I really just wanted you. I threw Stro into the mix to satisfy the liberal tree huggers and the people that killed off Monday night Football.

Make sure it's a 2016 White F6B, it will compliment my White GoldWing
