Trump has been very successful, both at winning his billions and with his campaign. What has Bernie done? Which would you trust? Hillary (you know the trouble she's into), Bernie, or "The Art of the Deal" Trump? Don't you think that a master deal-maker and businessman would be good for our country?


Maybe Trump is not as stupid as you think. After all, he is winning. As far as the Repubs are concerned, I am not too satisfied with them, and neither are a lot of people. The wild thing is that Trump has so far successfully hijacked the Republican party, which is probably a good thing. He can bash them, yet he is technically one of them.

"The Art of the Deal" at work, I guess. It's magic.

I don't care if they elect a Martian with perpetual diarrhea and buck teeth, as long as he can read and respect the Constitution.

You do use that a lot...
Problem is,.. that statement is so vague as to be meaningless...
Seeing as,.. you choose to interpret it according to your personal values... as does everyone else...
As do I...

No matter how much you want meanings set in stone,... they are not.
...and we are not...

And we must accept, that if the very same men, were to write it today,... the wording, phrasing, and even the content, would be different...
We must interpret their intent...
...and therein lies the rub...


You don't want someone to read and respect the Constitution...  
You want someone to agree with your interpretation of it...

If nine scholarly Justice's can't agree... what hope do you have for the remaining 350 million of us?...

And I don't see trump as being that kind of person. People who make billions aren't exactly known for following the rules. In fact, one of the best business phrases ever to keep in mind is: successful business is about standing out, not fitting in.
Trump could be a Republican version of Obama. Executive orders are the order of the day. Obama has left a disastrous legacy in 1 million different ways but this idea about executive orders instead of legislation As a regular means of presidential duties might be among his worse.

Look at the way Trump talks about his competitors during the campaign. Now imagine he's trying to push through a piece of legislation and a congressman or senator is being very vocal against him. You don't think the temptation to just waive the magic wand Obama created won't become too great for "Trump the Supreme Ruler"?

Barack Obama      
Total 231      33      7.08      13489 - 13719
     I      147      37      4.00      13489 - 13635
     II      84      27      3.08      13636 - 13719

Last Update: Data Through February 20, 2016. (through 7.08 years of the Obama Administration)

and he's got a year left.
this site had different totals for everyone.

There is some smoke and mirrors here as well.  Some of Barry's executive orders were actually executive actions.  I read an article a ways back; although, there is a difference.  It is mainly had to do with the recourse congress could assert.
