July 20, 201610 yr Not against Hillary, no way. If Ryan were running I have a feeling Biden would've thrown his hat in the ring. He would've trounced Hillary IMO.
July 20, 201610 yr Tried to watch a few minutes last night, still couldn't do it. The Don came on and I laughed and turned it off. Just can't stomach the guy. He either makes me laugh or makes me angry. I concur. This election cycle, while interesting in its dysfunction, is so damn disturbing in what it says about the state of politics in this country.
July 20, 201610 yr Author Someone has taken the fall for the speech. "In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama," McIver wrote in a typed letter printed on stationery with "Trump" letterhead in gold at the top. "Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama's speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech," McIver wrote. McIver apologized for the "confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused" and said Trump refused her offer of a resignation. "Mr. Trump told me that people make innocent mistakes and that we learn and grow from these experiences," she wrote. Who Is Meredith McIver?

July 20, 201610 yr We all agree that when Sen Cruz speaks he will: A)not mention Trump very often B)Mention HRC quite a bit and C)start is 2020 run for POTUS Agreed? I have no idea, honestly. I do know Cruz doesn't do much of anything that doesn't benefit Ted Cruz, so that's what I expect, whatever that is.

July 20, 201610 yr Narrow minded...Could you please expound on that? Does it need expounded on? Trump makes some comments that suggest he's xenophobic, misogynist, etc. If he's not these things...well...we need some different statements or actions.

July 21, 201610 yr Yep. Let's say Trump wins....Would anyone really be surprised if the day after being sworn in he decided to resign? I wouldn't be. I concur that nothing he does would shock me. I really question whether Mr Trump really wants the day in, day out job of being president. I think him and his ego likes the "idea" of having the title "President" and maybe "making some deals," but I really don't think he wants any part of the nuts and bolts of this job and all of the stress that goes with it for the next four years.
