GOP has already started to kick in monies. The reason for bankruptcy allegation is to try and hide those "bad" business practices, but alas, at least he will rid us of the POC and immigrates.

Where are the tax returns, huh.

Shamelessly, wrongly, and hideously continue to say about Bernie and Bernie supporters.

A tactic that could end up hurting us all. It was a HUGE mistake I believe. I have not seen many (any?) apologies either.

P.S. Trump sucks. He really is terrible.

While I'm aware of the vitriol between some people in the Clinton vs. Sanders primary, do you really think that Secretary Clinton's campaign has been equal to the GOP/Donald Trump campaign?

That seems a bit hyperbolic and ultimately, self-defeating.

On November 8th, vote straight Democratic.

that insinuate or flat out call Bernie and/or Bernie's supporters racist, sexist, violent(thugs), and on and on, then please open your eyes.

It's been on display all over this website for months.

The things in the OP that are listed to correctly describe Donald Trump are things that HRC supporters have been calling Bernie AND Bernie Sanders supporters for many months now. Her surrogates in the media have done the same.

Not hyperbole. At all unfortunately.

By having no platform other than blocking the Democrats, others more extreme filled the void with their own crazy fact-free ideas, and you just sat on your hands. Probably even grinning in private at how much headache they were causing to the government. Now they finally have a leader who will be as stupid, insulting, racist, and fact-free as themselves.

Trump won't change the basic philosophy of Repugs because racism, animosity towards America workers, misogyny, climate denial and hate are all mutual with him and Repug voters. Denying the truth is another mutual aspect of the 2.

unknown elsewhere or seen very differently.

Remember, the idiots on the right actually think they are the ones with the brains.

They will either deny each allegation in the above pic or will amplify on why it is a good thing.

Propaganda has turned their brains into mush.

EarlG illustrates how Republicans in America now are not Conservative, yet in wild rhetoric say they are, supported by a Renegaded, Reaganed Slob-Sided Pirate commercial profiteering Mainstream Media.

Republicans have moneyed the dollar “Novus ordo Seclorum” giving their real intentions supporting the talent idolatry of the Trump Theater. Make money by going bust, unconcerned about the working order, just the money making order.

Yet we have to admit the Republicans flushed out a hideous haughty part of America entrenched in bipartisan appeal that really does not get the job done for all Americans, that policy puts Americans out of a job.

At the Federal level it is Bankruptcies’ or the so called Bailouts, Secret moneyed Cayman Islands or the so called Swiss bank accounts, secret money pipelines yet pirate war profiteering in the ground zero fashion while at the State level as in Illinois Raunerized with the constant mantra of a balanced budget.

Since the time of Christ, Jesus turned over the moneyed tables, it may happen again.
