He can openly speculate about her hiding TIA’s or major strokes. Falls, fainting and alcoholism.


When he does that it is game over for Hillary!!!!

The difference here is that Trump will actually demand to see those records and he’ll be very persistent about it. The reason we never saw Obama’s records is because McCain and Romney both were too wimpy to insist upon their release. They decided to take the “gentleman’s” route and so they both got spanked at election time.

Exactly so. Trump won’t let go until he gets records and my guess is she will refuse and refuse and refuse and there will be all kinds of stories about her bad health and it is game over for Hillary.

The GOPe is concerned that in a Trump presidency there will be a Trump Hotel on the moon, a Trump Resort / Golf Club on mars and the heavenly gates replaced by a big beautiful door.............

Now, that is a legacy!!!

Rate rise Dec. 16

It's been announced and anticipated. It will be symbolic and small. And, there's the traditional year-end rally. So, unforeseen disasters aside, I don't see it diving immediately. But, I'll grant that pressures are building on all fronts.

This entire situation is very inconvenient for the Marxist left to dismantle our Bill of Rights.

They know it.

Yay, so we can finally have a president who makes fun of crippled people! And one who committed adultery, since we’ve been missing that since Hillbilly Clintoon.

All well and good.

One of the big things in Trump's favor is the ability to surround himself with the right people to get his agenda done. And if they don't, well they're fired.

A problem I foresee Trump having is unless he gets 60 votes in the Senate and retains the House, he will have a hard time getting his agenda done. And he can't march up PA. Avenue and fire Nancy Pelosi or Sherrod Brown because they got in his way. He might stand a better chance with Brown in an upcoming election since Brown must be elected statewide, but Brown won overall pretty easily his last rodeo. But Pelosi has her seat as long as she want it. And Pelosi and Brown are just examples of the poster children he will have to contend with in legislative branch.

As for world affairs, he will also face a challenge as he won't always be able to sue or buyout the Countries that give us heartburn. Sure, he can bomb Iran or some other sand forsaken country. But he will have to use other tactics with Russia and China. He won't be able to bully his way around those guys and have them back down as he can sometimes do in business.

As I said, it will be interesting how he brings China's currency around, how he keeps Putin at bay, how effective his wall will be if built.

So I'm in. I want to see if his hubris will work in the political arena.

No. 1) The GOPe knows better than that, and 2) delegates are regular old party people many of whom like Trump and can't be bullied or bribed anyway.

The amazing thing about this story is they act like Portman and Ayotte are trailing BECAUSE of Trump. It's just the opposite. He's their only hope. Portman has been completely spineless in the Senate and Ayotte has been a turncoat. Who wants these people? As President Trump would have as much trouble with them as with the Dems

And finally this for a Trump White House. Of course they will be on time and under budget. Plans are being drawn as we speak although final winning design has not yet been chosen.

“obama just did Trump a huge favor by pondering if San Bernardino was workplace violence...”

Makes as much sense as wondering if JFK committed suicide.

Does not sound like you will vote for Trump. No problem. He does not need your vote. Stay home!

They fear an “Electoral wipe out” because they hate Trump and are blinded by the hate. Their US Chamber of Commerce masters want cheap labor and Trump is the only one who can win that will not give it to them. Any questions?

I agree. These people are addicted to the lie. They have lost complete touch with reality. If she does not raise rates when she said she would, she is admitting the country is really in bad shape and this has serious consequences.

There is a lot of money involved and power as well. Stay safe Mr. Trump!

Hillary dropping dead behind the podium at a debate would be rather memorable.

Except she wouldn't drop dead. She'd morph into a demon...
