Thing is about Trump is that a lot of his views on issues are okay. He's actually addressing immigration, trade policies, and political corruption.

It's his personality and character though that keep me from ever considering him. He's a spoiled bully. Some may enjoy having that in the White House, but I think it's a detriment to the country. I've said that Obama's worse trait is that he's a divisive leader and has caused some of the worst animosity between the American people since the 19th century. Trump would be worse.

Don't know Kevin Spacey's politics but would take him over Trump right now.Hell, for that matter I would settle for Paul Giamatti portraying John Adams. Less embarrassing and somewhat better hair. Snappy dresser that Adams too.

I watch him every week. But then I like a broad perspective. Very entertaining show.

Same. Like I said I don't agree with him on everything, but there's very few people I can say that about. And as some here don't understand, he has a panel of guests, almost always including a conservative or two of the three. There is actually measured discussion and all points usually get discussed on most issues.

By the way, it is possible to watch a show like that and 100% disagree 100% of the time with the views of the host or even everyone on the panel. If you are spoon-fed thoughts from Hannity or O'Reilley or Rush, that's fine by me, but don't assume everyone lets the TV box think for them.

BTW the video I meant to post wasn't even attached earlier so I brought him up for nothing. It is now. And below.

I can't respect the opinion of anyone who watches Mahr.

I channel surfed by Rachel Maddow the other night. Watched part of a segment. Does that do anything for you?

Now and then I might catch the McGlocklin Report...see what the old folks are saying. There's a big world out here, something for everyone.

Never heard of him. I try to stay away from the TV for political news. I read articles. We have this thing called the interwebs now. Invented by Al gore.

If I get to a big word I don't understand, I can look it up!

Went for Rubio's jugular. Guess Trump couldn't wait for that to get wheels.

I know where you are coming from. I actually agree with you on some things. But, I still hate your fucking guts. It's almost getting to the point that I hate you more than I hate Dallas. Not there yet, but srsly, the closer that we get to the election, the closer I get.

But I still think that you and I have made progress and bridged some gaps.

All that hate is gonna burn you up inside kid.

John Oliver #MicFlip on Donald Drumpf...this Republican leader is such a good business man, he thought it would be a great idea to start a mortgage company in 2006, right before the housing market tanked, lol.

I know right? Because we ALL saw that collapse coming and he was an idiot.

I know that's how I made many of my hundreds of millions, by shorting the mortgage companies in 2007.

To be fair the housing market didn't fall apart until October 2008. Getting into mortgages in 2006 when money was flowing freely wasn't a terrible idea. Most people knew it had to end but in 06 it looked like the roller coaster was still on the way up with the drop a long way off. And it wasn't mortgages per se, it was mortgages for people who weren't remotely qualified. That was the result of government (socialist) intervention which loosened restrictions to the point that a buffalo with a five dollar bill could buy a house because "err-body deserves the right to buy a massive home"' -- a plan put into place by Clinton by the way.

Whoever that British clown is, he can take all the shots he wants but trying to make money in the mortgage game in 2006 was not that bad an idea.

The level of freak out over Trump is pretty funny to me. Liberals -- people who gave us the worst president of my lifetime and who are trying to force feed us Hellary -- are shitting their pants.

The sheeple eat this shit up. greedy Wall Street they say. When all they have to do is look north to Detroit to see where the cause lies.

Notice how Dodd and Frank quietly went away?

Social engineering cause the mortgage collapse, nothing more.

One of the biggest reasons for the division we have in this country today is the intellectual primatives we have among us who form their opinions based upon something they watched on Comedy fucking Central.

Your fascination with microphones is either masking a failed dream of being a singer or you are obsessed with dicks.

Either way, are you enjoying the warm embers from the flames of the Bernie Sanders "campaign"?

Since Trump will almost certainly win Alabama I will vote democratic today. And for Bernie. Because he's a moron but not as dangerous as Clinton. He isn't self aware enough to realize how stupid he is. She knows and lies about it.

You sure you can do that?

I am a registered Independent. I did this about 5 years ago specifically BECAUSE at the time, if I registered Libertarian, I couldn't vote in either the R or D primaries. Independent, at that time, allowed you to vote in either.

Just found out today that that has since changed and you have to be registered as an R to vote in the R primary and D to vote in the D primary. Tried to switch my registration to R to vote Rubio, but it was too late. Deadline was Feb. 3.

So I switched it to Libertarian since apparently there's no advantage to registering Independent anymore.
