[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Bernie supporter, I feel forever burned by the big Democrat machine. Trumps presidency is exactly what the DNC and party deserve. There needs to be consequences for what DWS and HRC did, and Trump is it. Unlike the rest of the stupid chicken littles around here, I'm a pragmatist. I wanted Bernie, but you know what? I'll accept Trump. Things aren't so bad right now, it looks like the economy is finally starting to take off, and if I get a tax cut, great, I'll take it. He'll be in office one term and then he's gone. The country will survive, and we'll move on. But still I do take a lot of guilty pleasure in seeing how all the big party-boss Dems are still wrapped around their own axles over getting beat last year. It serves them right. They HAD a winning candidate, and they shafted him. You made your bed, DNC. Now sleep in it.  [/quote]

I agree with you, but I don’t think the party insiders really care too much about losing, for the most part. They’re satisfied as long as the gravy train keeps rolling.[/quote]

Sadly, you're probably right. And although I can't prove it, based on some of the things I've read here over the years, I suspect many republicans might feel the same way about their party, too. I really began to suspect this back during the 2012 primary season. I still remember a lot of people not really being all that happy with Romney, but thinking the machine was in control, and there was nothing they could do. Then four years later, it was the Democrats turn to have the same exact thing happen to them.  With the same result. This is not a coincidence. [/quote]

I am not sure about corruption on a scale demonstrated by what went down at the DNC, but [b]the reason we have Trump as the president is precisely because several self absorbed candidates refused to drop out [/b]even though it was apparent to them that they had no chance of winning. Their only reason for staying in the trace was to be enticed away with a VP offer. The biggest of these selfish a-holes is Kasich, and later on Rubio. But Kasich's presence gave Trump narrow margin wins in several important states at pivotal moments in the primary.  I honestly don't believe Trump expected to win - this was a publicity stunt, another feather in his cap. [/quote]

Please. We have Trump because the establishment, a bipartisan group, has massively failed the populace. Endless and moronic Middle East wars, financial perfidy, and a general disregard for most Americans lead a substantial number of people to be willing to roll the dice on Trump. Everything else is just noise from the political class.[/quote]

This.

I voted for Obama the first time. Sat out 2012 in frustration and disgust, and voted Trump this time. Proudly. [/quote]
