Re: Republican nominee for President

The minimum wage, sure I think it needs a small hike and should be a 2 tiered approach in some higher cost of living places....but who should be working on this wage? ....teenagers, maybe early 20s-college kids, part-timers, older folks who may want supplemental income, maybe a spouse who is not the primary wage earner....That's kinda who should be making this.

I really think folks should strive for a higher wage. Some rather make this wage and receive assistance from the government. If you don't think this is true, you should have worked with me when I worked for VCU and worked within the poorer communities of the city.

Folks, Im awestruck at the lack of talk about education in this campaign. This is how you lift folks up. It affects a ton of other issues, especially income inequality, minimum wage, entitlement programs, government spending, etc.

This is really a dumb country. For some reason folks want hand outs...its easier I guess. Free college, free health, free family leave, free everything...

Re: Republican nominee for President

Really don't understand why the GOP voters love candidates with no experience so much. Only one of the last five has any executive experience, none of them have any foreign policy experience, which is like 1/2 the job. Two of them have never been elected to anything.

Can anyone honestly say that if you were hiring for the position of President, that you would even consider these people for the job? It is like going to the hospital for major surgery and asking for the least experienced doctor they had, infact not even a doctor let the orderly do it.

that's why europeans kind of think our version of democracy is a bit crazy. parliaments (like in britain) have elections and the majority party gets the prime minister, who's usually been around and in that party for a long time, and is answerable to them.

the problem with outsiders is that people elect them thinking they'll be able to change things, and don't realize that the president's powers are actually a bit limited, especially if he's fighting congress.

No, the problem is special interest and lobbiest who buy and sell influence within the political system. It's no great secret.

That's why trump and Bernie are doing so well.

maybe you misread my post? the problem with outsiders isn't special interests or lobbyist, that's the problem with our political system, which, i assume is the point you wanted to make.

Re: Republican nominee for President

Did anyone see this?! SMH.

https://www.facebook.com/MitchellWig...6535712880257/

There is literally no substance to what these people are saying. People are running with ONE talking point. "I looove guns. I love the second amendment, so I'm voting for Trump." "He has big balls, I'm voting for Trump."

Aside from a wall, he hasn't said SHIT. I hate politics and am already over it. Every other candidate has their own brand of bullshit, but it's the typical stuff we're used to every election season. His shit is just slammed in your face non-stop and these people just make me sad for America. If those type of people are what's going to make America "great" again, I hear Canada is beautiful this time of year.

It's shocking to think the rest of the world thinks of us as...shallow...decadent and valueless.

Electing Donald Trump would just prove their point.
