Hyman Roth?

LOL

That's the first time I've heard anyone call him by that name.

The undecided voter, not caring much for Trump or Clinton, eventually decided to vote for the one with the better policy agenda.

Quite possibly on election day.

He’s parroting some lies in this article regarding immigration and Charlottesville (Trump did condemn Neo Nazis even in that press conference so widely panned by the media, and I know because there is a transcript), so while I appreciate his efforts to at least listen, it sounds like he still doesn’t fully get it. He’s still enmeshed in talking points.

The Left is one Supreme Court justice away from oblivion. It is not a matter of "if," but "when."

There is nothing that can do to stop it.

I will enjoy their tears when Ruthie leaves...

Just remember Sotomayor is near her sell by date due to being a Type I Diabetic and Breyer is 79 years old. Combine those with Ginsburg.

Remember, this is a "man" who wrote this...

I wonder what America would be like today if George HW Bush hadn't squandered what Reagan left him. A second Bush term would have meant no Clintons, and probably the demise of the Democrat party. Bush I wasn't the best president - not by a long-shot - but I believe a lot of our problems of today wouldn't exist if Clinton had lost the election and went back to Arkansas.

I know how he feels. I felt the same way in 2008 when America elected as their President a community organizer with little political experience and said horrible things about the country he was going to lead. At least I was justified about my confusion, because he tried everything possible to destroy the country. Tit for tat, think about that.

What on earth had happened to politics? How could a reality TV star with no experience of government – and multiple character flaws to boot – have been chosen by American voters to be their leader?

My 13-year-old daughter was also deeply troubled. “How could America vote for a man who said these things about women?”

You have these questions because you’re political fools.

She went off to school. And I went off to a dance studio to practise a Gangnam Style salsa for that weekend’s Strictly. As I pranced around in my dance shoes and sweatpants, it did feel that it wasn’t just my world that had gone a bit crazy.

I'm not sure this is a parody. The Left has become a parody.

He's still parroting the lies of the left. His ”production"

My 13-year-old daughter was also deeply troubled. “How could America vote for a man who said these things about women?” I didn’t know what to say.

Is this a male/female or another one that can’t decide what it is

First thing I noticed is that he went to the “Deep South” to do his series. “Deep South” in liberalspeak is “racists”, “Hillbillies”, “drunken toothless rednecks” all of whom are, according to the left, are typical Southerners, much like the characters in Deliverance. Notice he didn’t head for Michigan, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Indiana, North or South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, etc.

Millions of people all over the country, from New York to California, and every state in between, voted for Trump. But, like most liberals, he wanted to comfort himself with the idea it was those inferior people of the Deep South who voted for him.

Amen, amen, amen. If Perot hadn't entered the race, GHW Bush would have had a second term, and, even though you're right, he was a mediocre President, a LOT of the problems we have would not have materialized. Bill Clinton's relatively successful Presidency, riding on the coattails of prosperity wrought by the Reagan tax cuts, made it safe to vote for Democrats again, unfortunately.

This individual just proves that if your head is stuffed full of “I know everything”, experience won’t teach you anything because you know better. The typical liberal is so insulated/armored in superiority that reality or a different point of view just bounces off as quaint or colorful.

The #walkaway folks are to be cherished because they did manage to pry off their blinders and see.

I have to agree that he’s on the right track but really doesn’t get it.

His comment “We’ve seen that debate ourselves in Britain over the past few, very divisive years, with a growing gulf between the way that people in towns, rural areas and the old industrial heartlands have been voting, as distinct from people in our big cities.”, makes me grateful for the Electoral College.

The Article visits every Liberal/Progressive attack on Trump that there is and not one Pro-Trump reason that he probably really heard( as it wouldn't fit his Liberal Narrative). There is nothing against Hillary that he almost certainly heard. (There is nothing about how Hillary wanted Coal to be Shutdown).

No this is just another Anti-Trump screed clothed in weak taters of bait and switch promised reason.

A Brits SHOCKED that people at a festival were drinking beer for breakfast? That's a lie right there if anyone knew anything about British drinking culture.

We're a nation of teetotalers by comparison.
