Trump and Clinton are birds of a feather

Trump and Hillary are birds of a feather

They were friends actually. Seen that wedding pic? Trump even talked to Bill about running for President.

Their politics are similar too. Trump and Hillary both support the Patriot Act and mass surveillance programs. Both of them went to AIPAC and held a contest to see who could pander harder to that right wing militarist agenda. Sad thing is Clinton probably won. Both will put America on an aggressive warlike posture in the middle east and also toward Russia.

Start comparing their domestic agendas as well there are bound to be tons of similarities because they both have defending corporate profits as their big goal in life. Sad really. We deserve better choices.

Poster obviously meant "in common".

Oh gross, no

But I've heard that if you have dinner with somebody and shake their hand, they can clone you and replace you with an exact duplicate that believes everything you do.

Is this true?

He is supposedly the boogeyman for Dems to
be scared of.

He will never get the nomination, if I know
anything about the repug establishment.

They will try Kasich, if that does not work
Ryan; and that guy "protests too much" by
claiming no.(Has done it before).

I rather prefer to look as those two for
the nomination. They are rather dangerous,
because they appear to be "reasonable".

JMO.
