Why should we vote for any member of the political class that promises everything and delivers nothing? We have a GOP controlled Congress that approved an Omnibus bill that funds the Obama administration thru the end of his term. It takes off the sequester caps, funds Obamcare and PP, and the bringing in of tens of thousands of refugees from Syria.

You may be impressed by all these words and meaningless plans that never get implemented once they hit Congress, which is controlled by their corporate paymasters and special interests.

We have tried to political class again and again with the same results. It is time to do something different. We really have nothing to lose.

Consider this: There has been a Bush as either President or Vice President for 20 of the past 35 years. Add 8 years of Clinton as President and you have two families dominating the national political stage for 28 of the past 35 years or 80% of the time. And this does not include Hillary Clinton’s four years as Secretary of State under Obama or her failed run at the presidency in 2008. Nine out of the past 10 Presidential election cycles, including this one, have seen a Bush or a Clinton in the mix.

Now we have a Clinton and a Bush vying to be the candidate of their parties for the 2016 Presidential race. Hillary Clinton is securely on the road to coronation as the Democrat nominee has overwhelming support from the Democrat political class.

I hear what you are saying, and it has merit. But, I take Trump at face value when he state his (various) positions. Israel is a really big deal, so is affirmative action and single payer. I just don’t agree with him, any more than I agree with Clinton or Sanders.
