It's utterly baffling, especially when they are female. it seems to me, that a female supporting Trump is tantamount to an African-American supporting David Duke. <br /><br />We are living in one very mixed up rabbit hole.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829283375082711360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-17146186048921743412016-12-16T07:59:08.053-05:002016-12-16T07:59:08.053-05:00Bob,

Too many electors are invested in party loyalty, not loyalty to America. Just visit some of the far right blogs to understand how tribalism has convinced easily duped people that Trump was a normal candidate and is a normal president-elect.<br /><br />The working class that helped Trump win his electoral victory will have to find out the hard way what a con man he truly is.

Another proposal in the mix would equally divide election boards between the two major political parties, ending control by the governor's party.<br /><br />If anyone doubts what a bunch of thieving double crossing thugs the Reppublicans are, here's more proof. This is the sort of thuggish manipulation they practiced on Obama when he won the presidency.<br /><br />The GOP are America's enemies.

You may not have seen this:<br /><br />The GOP crime syndicate is now moving in on South Carolina to strip the duly elected Democratic governor of any powers due his governorship.

Or maybe it’s as Mr. Trump says: He’s “a smart person,” and avoids presidential intelligence briefings because they repeat what he already knows. If so, what else does he know about Russia that the intelligence agencies don’t?Lee Arnoldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-44799503792949359812016-12-15T08:23:00.473-05:002016-12-15T08:23:00.473-05:00What does Comey say?What does Comey say?Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.com
