No one has out maneuvered the Democrats. People all over the world know Trump is a liar and more and more people are moving on from his nonsense. Only in America does the news come with so much commentary. People are smarter than our news media gives them credit for.

I agree that the rest of the world sees right through him. It’s the American voters that are being manipulated and filled with fear. When people vote from emotion and not logic, we get dictatorship. And that is their goal. I suggest not to underestimate the power of the media’s influence. Unfortunately, the lack of civics education in America has helped lead us to this place and Americans turn to these commentators to do their thinking for them. Aka Propaganda.

Let’s hope you are right, RSR

Hi, John Cooper, I agree 100% with RSR: the Mexican people do not have short memories, and they’re not stupid. Trump is simply desperate. And Jarod had a connection and some money to throw toward his connection. That does not automatically mean votes and erase Trump’s cruel behavior to the Mexico, Latin America. .

Your response offers the best approach we can embrace. Let’s get out there, continue messaging our strong support for good governance and get out the vote. Thanks!

Cathy 98280 - RSR is right. 100%. Mexican people do not have that short of a memory and they are not stupid. Trump is desperate. I don’t think he has enough money to buy off the Mexican people after the cruel and despicable way he treated them when he separated, children and families, threw them under the bus at the border, and behave, as the despot he wants to be. They do NOT trust him. And well they should not.

I agree and I also think not enough is made of this fact. Unfortunately, the US form of politics lends itself to the potential of minority rule, and rampant corruption. Beyond elected officials taking an oath of office, they are not guided by any enforced rules of ethics. One blatant example is Trump who is twice impeached and under four indictments and remains the presumptive nominee of one of two major political parties. At the very least, there should be some rule or law that bars people from running for president while under indictment. It's insane!

I'm not sure that's the solution, if I'm understanding the proposal correctly. All the GOP (just as an example) would need to do is coordinate w/friendly DAs to have them move "their" grand juries toward issuing indictments to strong Democratic Party candidates and...

Btw, the only - only - way this would affect tfg would be through amendment of the US Constitution. The current requirements enunciated therein supersede any other law or regulation that might obtain.

Brava RSR, hundred percent. The Mexican people are not stupid and their memories are not that short. Jared put some money out and the suckers bought it. Trump is very desperate right now.
