No, she IS a stupid person if she believes Bush caused the economic collapse with his wars and tax policies.

We really need to push the racist crap on the left and hang it around their neck.

Pretty much everyone I work with is a college grad, and most are voting for Trump. Many of these folks were ardently anti-Bush. There are a couple hard-core libs who will vote Hillary, and some libs who are not voting. I make no predictions based on the anecdotal sample, but Trump has a lot of people quietly speaking around the water coolers.

The “economy collapse” was a very long time coming and it was initiated by BS Liberal banking policies.

In the ‘80’s I worked in the lending office of a large bank. I was a file clerk and data entry person. My credit was pure gold, but I made NO money. However, I processed loan applications and information for loan recipients who made LESS than I did (if possible) and who had either NO credit or abysmal credit.

Hillary has a commercial of her saying over 30 years she fought for the “children” but she never says WHAT she did for children. Ask her that Trump. Ask her what she did for the chdren besides claim to fight for them.

“It doesn’t matter what she says. It matters what she’s done.”..........

Which is absolutely why American’s need to put that foremost in the decision of who they will be voting for.

The Clinton’s have been major contributors, often leaders, in the destruction of what America once was so people need to know and to believe they will continue the trend. This election is NOT ABOUT the American people, it is about the Clinton’s and in particular Hitlary.

Good post, but contains liberal b.s. Bush did not cause economic collapse, merely did not mitigate it well; democrats supported foreign wars.

The author almost got it by referring to the housing crisis, which is democrat-owned. Also, I half expected the author to desert Hillary.

Bush did.. but they left out the originator, bill clinton and janet reno... they forced banks to loan to those who could not pay. I remember reading the news that they were buying homes with no down payment.. It was hard to believe... I had to have a down payment.. those who couldn’t afford a house, didn’t have to.

I sold my house 14 years ago to a family from Guatemala who repeatedly said this was the American Dream. At closing they signed papers for an hour.. they had relatives there who could speak English.. The man was a mechanic... his payments were way over his income. The man didn’t seem to know what he was getting in to.

bill didn’t care what happened to his mandates.. and Bush didn’t bother to change it or stop it. Janet reno did a lot of dangerous and unlawful things... she left a bad taste in our country..

And the banks just leveraged those bad mortgages into AAA bonds they fraudulently passed on to investors. And no one ever went to jail. Everyone made out like a bandit. Except the taxpayer. Got screwed. Again.

This is a nice read. However. The author puts his own opinion in there. He fails to mention Dodd Frank. He seems to still be the adult talking to a little girl. Equating Sanders populism to Trumps is a mistake. At least she says she looks at what Hildog has done and not what she says.

Notice how this incredibly false narrative has seeped into Dem propaganda about Bush causing the economic collapse with his tax policies?

Taxes weren’t a factor in the collapse at all. Going along with and increasing Bill Clinton’s pushing of Fannie and Freddie to buy and process gazillions of bad loans? Yes, that was a factor. But tax policy? Not a whit.

Tangent to this, the Q & A w/ Ann Coulter in Vanity Fair. Maybe her gut was telling her ( like it did mine see link below ) that our "vaulted 16" wasn't so vaulted after all. Perhaps this Landscaper in OH on hard times wouldn't have wanted one of the 16 either...

"Did you support any other candidates in the field?

I hated them all.

All of them?

I hated them all. And in fact, I think Trump saved my life, because looking at that field of candidates, I mean, I was hoping that Mitt Romney was going to get in. He was the best on immigration and, you know, a respectable person. He was good on China and their currency manipulation, and he was the best that we have ever had until Trump. But without him in the race, I just thought, “I can’t do this. I can’t defend any of these guys. I am not going to go on TV and pretend that any of them are going to be better than any Democrat.” And you know, I have always wanted to learn French, so I figured that I would just go to France for 2016 and skip the election year, hang out, learn French. And I happen to love Eagles of Death Metal, so I totally would have been at that concert, except Trump ran so I couldn’t leave."

Yes it contains leftist B.S.
And yet the author still makes the case for Trump. A very strong case, one that even “low information voters” will deduce on their own.

Same thing here. I was at the Vet’s with my dog last week and the three young ladies behind the desk were discussing the election. All three said they are voting Trump because the despise Clinton. They said that sometimes they don’t approve of how he says things but they feel like he’s saying what he means rather than what he thinks they want to hear. They don’t trust Clinton at all! All three of the ladies are college educated and young (20-35).

‘Right-wing populism is an awful thing.’

“Well, I suppose it is, if you’re a baby-killing, child-molester faggot democRAT....raping the taxpayers and riding the statist gravy train.”

___________________________________

I’ve noticed “right-wing populism” has become the new “nazi” or “facist” label.

Liberals who use it think it sounds terrible and scary, but if you ask them to define it, they can’t. And if they could, they’d realize it much more accurately describes themselves.

Mrs. Clinton, WHY are you not standing before your 30 years in the limelight and pointing behind you and saying THIS is who I am. THIS is what you’ll get if you vote for me!?

Too bad it is all fake

The author made up his friend

Anyone who thinks that Hillary is going to build a wall is a fool and does not exist

She is the champion of open borders and illegal immigration

This person is part of the imagination of the author

Fake

Excuse me but it was bill clinton who set the country up for the huge fallout that happened with the housing crisis.

It was 5 decades of policies by both Repub and Democrat Presidents that set us up. Just more proof that the Ruling class has let down America.
