  • defending a personal life as opposed to political life is different. How about Bill Clinton paying one lady off and being disbarred?  People still backed his policies as they had before.  I don't agree with what Trump said but I don't think as many of us as condemn that have the pristine behavior life to throw that first stone either. Although many think they have.

  • Interesting perspective.. I think Trump is a total ineffective joke; cite the ridiculous claptrap about the wall etc.. but for me my main dislike of Trump is cos he is an utterly reprehensible person... And my perspective is... that if one were to have such a person, whose behaviour is so questionable - then there's a very good chance that someone who seemingly has very few morals and has some very dubious ideas is going to turn round and bite the hand that feeds him...aka AMerica.. just offering my perspective 

    LOL and my behaviour is, of course, totally pristine, well, compared to Trump I am an angel

  • Sure, you can like or dislike who ever you want. I do think you would have to find Bill Clinton reprehensible as well if your thinking is consistent. Good for you to think you can throw the first stone. My thoughts were when Clinton was president to leave him alone and let him do his job and settle all that other when he is out of office. I try to take things as I see them and not predetermine that all will be bad.  A lot of the left wants him to fail and are doing what they can to make that happen. In fact you know like asking attorneys to resign. Every President does that but for him a mortal sin. Deporting criminal illegal aliens is racist etc. When Obama did the same thing.  Key word 'Illegal'. That means they broke the law. But they do not want it enforced now because Trump does.  I know you and some others have views that will not alter no matter if things do go well.  I want things to work no matter who is president and not just bash and bash like that will help.
