Must have gotten Aretha Franklin to sing it.

In all seriousness I think it's more about the contrast between him and Obama.  Obama very much came to Washington on a mission and he accomplished it very well, but once we all started seeing that it was more about government growth and not economic growth we got frustrated.

With Trump, he's equally on a mission, but his mission is to make life better for everyone through economic growth.  He's pro workers, he's pro business, he's simply pro-American.
He didn't really run on a "cut spending" platform so I'm giddy with excitement about his talk of government waste and cutting spending.

It is definitely premature to put up the "mission accomplished" banner, but so far he's 100% living up to the hype of the campaign as far as I'm concerned.

JMK - just a friendly reminder......you all said he didn't stand a chance to get nominated, then you said he didn't have a chance to beat Clinton, and in the middle swore we were all delusional to even consider he had a chance, not to mention racist, homophobic, etc, etc etc......

If it's ok, I think I'll not take serious any ideas of what he may, or may not, be capable of accomplishing from anybody on the left.   Ya'll haven't been right about anything. LOL

Man, you folks certainly get your knickers bunched up quick these days. LOL  JMK....I clearly said "you all", you know, like Hillary called us all deplorable.....obviously I didn't mean you personally.  Look, I'm still having fun with this....if you remember, I said that if Trump won I was was going to pull the covers over my head and laugh hysterically.  Well, I'm still laughing.  Sometimes I'm laughing so hard it interferes with my sarcasm/belittling/name-calling guiding system and it just comes out all wrong.  I apologize if I offended you.......seriously.  And yes, you've drove down the middle of the road during this whole deal, as you said.  I think I have too, or at least tried to......but admittedly, my car is now off in a ditch after being blinded by tears of laughter......it may still take a few weeks to get it out.

hahahaha

btw, did you guys see the house in Michigan passed voter a tough voter ID law after they discovered massive voter fraud in detroit?
I'm not sure of the chances of it getting all the way through, but you have to be careful what you wish for.

Another interesting stat I saw yesterday.  Hillary is ahead in the popular vote by 2M nationally, but she won California (where anybody can vote without an ID) by 4M votes.  That means in the other 49 states she lost the popular vote by 2M votes.

you can't just subtract one of the largest states because they voted the other way man...she won the popular vote, which doesn't matter, but c'mon just admit that.

I'm not denying it, I'm just showing an interesting stat.  California represents 12% of the total population, yet they voted 100% more for Hillary than the rest of the US combined?  They also just so happen to have set up a voting system that allows illegals to vote, but you don't see anything out of the ordinary?

it also happens to be one of the most liberal places in the country....I can start on how the states with voter suppression laws all vote republican too.

Do you believe illegals can and did vote in CA, or do you believe the numbers are completely based on US citizens in CA being more liberal than places like NY and IL?

same in every state.  trust me, in Maryland tons of people stay home on both sides because everyone knows it will be a blue state, same in red states.  that's a poor argument.

But there's only like 30 democrats in the state of Nebraska...  haha, just kidding

I think we should do what Oregon does.  mail a ballot to every citizen and be done with it.

I'm not a big fan of the mail ballots because I feel there's too many angles to cheat.  However, I feel it's really more about the registration itself than it is the ballot side.  For example how do they determine you're a citizen in order to get a ballot?
The hang up in CA I have is that anyone can register and they simply don't care.  One guy was posting pictures on reddit where he registered his dog, his cat, his bird, his turtle, etc. and even used the same legit address for all of them.  He received ballots for every one of them and could have easily voted multiple times.  I think we both can agree that basic controls should be in place to ensure blatant fraud isn't occurring with the intent of also not making it so cumbersome that it disenfranchises people who aren't going to go through a lot of hoops.

She's been spending too much time in St Louis messing around with LB.
