I been an democrat since 70's, I would consider voting ' independence " , who feel the same values and principles as an democrat than republican.

in last 12 years, I voted for democrat, because neither republican and independence, I should said independence weren't strong enough to have to go against republicans.

most of my life, in politics, both parties are mostly a joke to America. last two times, I voted more of waste of my time. it seem that you someone in office, either they or the government embarrassed you and America.

you have the right to vote, doesn't America have the right to show an candidate worth vote for!

It is amusing that a man... whom Democrats and their followers with “superior educations”... denigrate as mentally deficient and a moron...

beats them in a national election, continually outwits them in public, has improved the economy despite the dire warnings of Democrat economic experts and triggers them all so easily.


"continually outwits them in public" ...?
Do you mean "out tweets them"? His "wit" is barely at a sophomore level.
Just because Sanders and Clinton didn't come up with "witty" names for their opponents?
But he was slick to play to enough of the gullible right-wing voting population - I'll give him that.

It's "tradition" for the opposing party to claim how horrible things are, and how much worse thing are going to get if we don't change who's in the WH.


.. Hey, isn't it time for another vote to repeal Obamacare?

Yeah I found the outwitting claim a bit strange too.

If anybody is being outwitted, it’s Trump. By Vladimir Putin.

I think it obvious that Trump outwitted that stalwart of liberal thinking: Sloppy Steve Bannon.

"Streisand Effect" - ?
Not sure I've heard that one, but interpreting from the context:
Over-reacting to something, thereby making it bigger.

He did the same thing with the NFL kneeling - it was pretty much yesterdays news until he brought it up at one of his rallies and started tweeting about it.

And why Streisand? ... something to do with her nose?


The Streisand Effect is what happens when, in the act of attempting to suppress or discredit information regardless of it's veracity, you only end up directing more people to the information by mentioning it. In this case, Trump is directing more people to the book simply by mentioning it, regardless of whether or not he calls it lies and regardless of whether or not the book is actually lies. Simply by mentioning it he brings it to the attention of people that would otherwise have never heard about it, or would otherwise have no interest in it.

This is named the Streisand effect because in 2003 Barbra Streisand attempted to suppress photos of her Malibu home but only succeeded in drawing more public attention to them.
