Same here. I actually voted for Cruz in the 2016 primary. After he started pandering to Trump, I began to regret that vote. I now wish I had voted for one of the many other fine candidates in the Republican primary that year.
While I still agree with most of his positions policy - wise, I’d REALLY have to hold my nose to vote for him now that he has the Trump stain.
Sadly, I think that possibility is gone. If ever there was a year that a third party could become viable, it was 2016. Both major parties had candidates that were despised by a large percentage of the population. The timing was perfect for a 3rd party candidate to sweep in and upset the 2 major parties for the first time in my life. Yet, the voters sadly kept doing what has failed the nation for so long.
Too bad you carried over here that silly Ignore Ban you put on me over at the last Hannity.com website. If you hadn’t you could have addressed my first response to your little thread here and you would have seen that this Dem is not all optimistic about results come November.
What a shame you can’t handle a little discourse, from me, for some reason?
Perhaps if you could you would be better informed about what some Dems really think.
Perhaps in the long run it will be to move America away from the perpetual state of war, UNDECLARED WAR, that we are currently wallowing in.
It has reached a point, this alleged “war on terror”, what with the insane notion of “acceptable collateral damage” and the intentional proliferation of American arms being sold to “friendly” nations who use them to target civilians that we, AMERICA, is no better and no more on any more moral ground than say Iran who our pols keep wishing to tout as aiding and abetting terrorism.
What is it when we aid and abet over and over and over again the death of untold numbers of civilians; men, women, children aka “acceptable collateral damage” and the devastation of their homes, their shops, their cities and villages?
Perhaps PROGRESSIVE veterans who make it into Congress can bring a pry bar mentality to this so called war on terror instead of the hammers now employed.
I do so wish it would be someone other than Pelosi in the Speaker spot if we take the House on the Left in this coming election. But I am torn as to whether or not Pelosi wouldn’t be the best choice if all of that happened when it comes to a “head to head” against Donny Trump?
Ironic, but I don’t see it happening, even as much as I would like to.
Frankly, what I see coming for America, or that is now becoming a real possibility, is something that I never thought in my lifetime I would ever give rise to any serious consideration of, and that is either some form of revolution or new civil war, or perhaps a morphed combination of the two.
These races on Tuesday, they echoed so many other elections of late, where votes are so close, almost knife edge in the division at the polls. Then we have such an unprecedented turn of events with Trump and his wrenching up, INTENTIONALLY, wrenching up of the divisions in America, it is sort of scary to me, to see how we might be an America divided and just like the California scrub country just waiting for that one errant spark.
Then I settle down, relax, and say to myself that I am just being overly dramatic.
I don’t care for her on a personal level. But yeah, she got things done. Not only that Donny would hate, just hate having to deal with her, so would ol" turtle face in the Senate.
Yeah, I would have liked to see someone like a Bloomberg join in and mount a serious effort; he could have self-funded the entire campaign out of his couch change. I don’t know if he could have won, but he’d certainly have had my vote vs. the other two.
That is something that people don’t get. Pelosi is good at her job. I would like to see a different Democrat speaker of the house, but I so want to see Trump thank Pelosi as the Speaker at next year’s State Of the Union.
