Do the journalists ever ask the useful idiots like the minister in this story:

"So, will you vote for any Republican candidate in any future election, whether it's county, city, state, special election for a judge, or federal?"

So he was with Trump until Trump effed-up his life? Hey, buddy, it's Trump, take a number. Back of the line. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Poor me! So sad!! Thank you for your service.

Years ago I seem to remember reading about a colorful character named "Regret" in a Damon Runyan short story ("A Piece of Pie").

Anyways, I'm tired of reading about people who regretted voting for a good-for-nothing wealthy racist draft-dodging slob who has bankrupted our country financially, morally, politically, and legally.

"GFY"

LOL.

Funny how I know no one who "regretted" voting for Trump. And I'm surrounded by some people who did vote for Trump. None of them I know say they regretted anything.

If anything, I'm hearing "This is what I voted for". I think Democrats are trying to set the environment where everyone thinks a blue wave is coming, just like every election of the last 10 years.

Because you live in a bubble of equally stupid, poorly informed, unAmerican drags on society.

Nobody gives two s^%#s what the idiots you associate with feel given what we know about your ability to assess and integrate new information.

That's because you surround yourself with traitorous, gullible, self-seeking morons like yourself.

You're an idiot for thinking this.

EVERY politician (except president piggy mind you) plays an expectations game. They ALWAYS down play expectations because they WANT, no NEED voters to think it is going to be close, to encourage the most people to get out and vote.

IOW you fail basic logic

The criminals are anyone here illegally. Big question is, why was your wife in the country illegally? I've seen those 90 day fiance shows, why wasn't she a citizen by now if she's been here so long?

She didn't have a dude with enough money like Melania did to help her get a green card - despite working here on a tourist visa - and move her parents to the front of the citizenship line too

Among the many vets I know it's about 50/50. Active duty seemed to be about 65/35 Trump. But that may be changing.

Trumpers don't get to complain about people needing to face consequences for their crimes.

It's the sacrifice you make when you join the cult of the most criminal president we've ever had.

So let's understand this, Trump runs on deporting immigrants.

This guy votes for Trump.

If I was a betting man I suspect he wanted his wife gone, probably called ICE himself, now he whines for show.

What else can we assume here?

If you would like to talk to someone about how you want your wife gone and ridiculously project that on others.....pls do it elsewhere. It's very weird and disgusting.

#25 Nope, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut.

The Trump ran on deporting "the worst of the worst." You know, the bad ones.

You're welcome.
