Uh, ok. You know that that happened under Obama, right? Home values have gone up. So I guess we can declare Obama's presidency a success now?

Why would Trump be good for real estate values? His experience as a real estate developer doesn't mean he has any special powers to increase the value of your house. He didn't built your house and put TRUMP in big gold letters on it, did he?

barfo

I keep recommending economics for dummies for a reason. You need it

In order to facilitate Obama's reckless spending, the Fed has kept interest rates so low that investors are forced to choose between near zero returns or invest in stocks and real estate. If the Fed didn't keep interest rates low, the interest on Obama's debt would consume so much of the tax receipts that the government would have to shut down most of your favorite programs.

Obama's been great for Wall Street. Main Street, not so much.

Trump's experience as a real estate developer does mean he knows enough of the rules and regulations. Enough to know which ones are holding the markets back.

 

[Chris Craig]

If any of you think Trump will be a good president, you are the ones who are brainwashed. He is a horrible real estate developer, his properties have failed one by one...he knows nothing but how to talk with a big mouth, with very few words. He has said nothing of substance about solutions or what he will do for America, except build a wall, ban immigrants, and whatever other babble hes spewed. And, if he is somehow elected, I will never recognize him as president

 

[Denny Crane]

These are lame antics.

I dont like clinton or trump, but ill still recognize them as president because the people have spoken from the candidates available. Just because i disagree with the opinions of the president, doesnt mean i will throw a tantrum over it. Dont like obama, didnt like bush. The fact is they were our presidents though.

This.

Or follow @barfo and @Minstrel to whatever country they think is better, in spite of who's president.

I didn't leave when Bush was president, so I'm not likely to leave when Clinton becomes president.

That doesn't seem to be a reality-based statement.

In your own words.

So, you think I am going to leave when Clinton becomes president? I don't think I will, but maybe you know better.

He just wants Trump to win so he can make another sad documentary about how America is

 

[Chris Craig]

If you feel that way bro, just leave the country.

Other opinions are ok. Embrace it. I would have hated bernie sanders, dont like trump or clinton. At no point, would i ever not consider them president.

You didnt say this, but im so tired of hearing empty threats from people about moving to canada if so and so is elected.

Its ok to believe in things different from the next guy. But when these people throw in your face that they are leaving, id be glad if they did, cause i wouldnt want to fight next to them if shit ever went down in this country in terms of ww3

I respect everyone's opinion, even if I don't agree with some of them, after all

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Opinions are like assholes.

Delicious.

Damn, I'd vote for if you

Gross

Yeah..I'm with bodyman on this one....

 

[julius]

He just wants Trump to win so he can make another sad documentary about how America is

Michael Moore also predicted that Romney would win, so he's not terribly good at predictions.

Trump is ahead in all the head to head polls since 7/17.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...s/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html

Hiliar will get a bump in the polls from her convention. The WikiLeaks email dump is a huge embarrassment at the best time. After Hiliar's email scandal, you'd think Democrats would not be so sloppy about security.

Gary Johnson is at ~9% in the polls, hurting Hiliar's polls more than Trump's. He should be allowed in the debates.

 

[Denny Crane]

The Philadelphia paper welcomes Hiliar. She fits right in.

http://www.philly.com/philly/opinio...t_its_Democrats_are_a_disgrace.html?mobi=true

In just the past three years, Philadelphia Democrats have seen a congressman, a state senator, five state representatives, and eight city judges found guilty of corruption. A former city sheriff also faces charges, and our top elections official has come under scrutiny for frequently failing to show up to work or, ironically, vote.

The federal and state investigations that swept through Philadelphia's Traffic Court, whose judges were handpicked by the Democratic machine, was so devastating that Philadelphians voted to abolish the court on the same day they helped give Pennsylvania's delegates to Hillary Clinton. One reported beneficiary of Traffic Court ticket-fixing was the only city Democrat on the state Supreme Court, Seamus McCaffery, who went on to resign amid examination of pornographic emails he distributed to other officials.

Oh I don't know! The Federal Reserve boys took me along to see a Blazer game on one off my trips there.

Bribery at the highest levels. What did you do for them in return? This might be indictable.

This may actually be connected to the riverman fish scandal.

Well it had to do with tracking money. But I best go no further.

Tim Kaine Wouldn’t Do Much To Help Clinton Win The Election
But he could make a small difference.
By Nate Silver

 

[crandc]

Not totally sold on Kaine; his having been a missionary is a negative to me, not a positive. But one thing struck me in his speech, which I actually listened to, unlike some commenters. He said the Virginia Tech massacre when he was governor was the worst day of his life. I'm guessing the worst day of Donald Trump's life was when he got the second best table in a restaurant.
