Will see but I don't trust trump.....Trump is all about Money.....
Universal/socialist healthcare is better than the current system with Obamacare/iACA and the insurance companies, doctors, and lawsuit plaintiffs getting rich off all of us. Only thing is with a socialist healthcare system (Canada, etc) you need more doctors and more establishments to avoid long lines.

Trump is about glamor but he's also about common sense... he wants to do the right thing which is best for America and Americans long term... Cutting off ties with Sunni OPEC and Saudi Arabia will be expensive for our oil supply but we will be able to transition into trading with more reasonable non-Sunni partners such as Russia, et al... Carter and Reagan both supported jihad but in a different way. Nixon getting impeached was the beginning of the end for greatness in America. No more funding for Apollo missions and the like, no more World Trade Center's, no more manufacturing jobs staying in the U.S., Walmart and other companies sprouting to the top and the country is dominated by our trade deficit and lack of sustainable jobs for willing workers without a college degree... Trump will get these votes... Trump will impose a 35% tariff on the Walmart's of the world who save every penny they can by producing overseas and globalizing. This will raise prices domestically but be much better for our overall economy.
Good summary in those two quotes. The two-party system has been bought and paid for by Big Finance, Big Fossil Fuels, Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Alcohol, etc., and none of them have the interests of the citizenry at heart, only profit, most of which flows to the owners of capital (ie. the top 10%) which is taxed at a far lower rates than wages/salaries. If you want to know why wealth inequality in US and across developed world is sky-rocketing, that's why.
The political-economic system is fundamentally broken and in need of sweeping reform.
getting your imported oil from Russia. You realise that US-Russian relations are frosty at best, and that Russia is forging closer ties with the Chinese (a Russia-China vs US superpower struggle just over the horizon, and set to kick off in the South-China Sea, vital to global trade), but you want to rely on them for half your oil supply?
And you want to give the nuclear codes to a massive narcissist who knows nothing about foreign policy and believes in "limited nuclear war"?
PS I'm no Clinton supporter - she may as well be a Republican.
I'd ally with the more reasonable minded atheists in Russia and China if it means everybody against the radical religious crazies in the hot and dry part of the world.
So true gambit1990! Love the Gif for UNT. LOL!![]()
Because the democrats have done great things for any of those groups of people in the last 60 years.![]()
Maybe thats why Hillary nearly keeled over on stage yesterday in a solid 4 minute coughing and wheezing fit...too much time hanging with Tainted Johnson.
Lots of lib kids on this board apparently....Obamacare is circling the drain these days btw. Its about to finally implode, not that the msm has been telling anyone, just like the near total blackout on hillary's epic Doc Holliday on tombstone impression and her later having to leave her first press conference in almost a year after 5 minutes cause she couldnt even speak.
Can you even IMAGINE how bad the media would be all over it if that had been Trump??!
But the left will continue to push that
Free money for babies, free money to kill the babies. It's not so bad if you're aiming low enough.
That's not the question. The question is whether they'd ally with the US. And given that they both hate the US the answer is no.
I don't think Russia really hates us these days. This isn't the 1950s, 60s, or 70s. The Russians are some of the most intelligent and rational people in the world and they are willing to be diplomatic with us as long as we are fair to them, which we have not been for so long due to our "allegiances" with those who strive to bomb our cities and rape our women and kill our children in the name of Allah. Crazy asylum folks aside, Russians would never "suicide bomb" anyone. They are too reasonable and practical and value their lives and worldly happiness as we do, perhaps to an even greater degree as they are much less likely to be religious.
China is a bit of a different animal. The Chinese are molded by their ancient Confucianist/Taoist traditions, which emphasize the values of masculinity and power, family and national loyalty, and saving face at all costs. Communism in China works for this very reason. The Chinese are opportunistically capitalistic as well, taking advantage of business opportunities with us and others as they see them to their benefit. Many Chinese citizens idolize the American way and culture, but others, particularly those of position, envy us and disapprove of Western corporations "using" their land and people to strengthen their brand and business operations.
That said, if Trump wins the election and implements his 35% imports tariff, cheap labor in China and similar places may no longer be so profitable. Americans will get back to work and prices may increase in the near-term. However, the Chinese would have to appreciate Trump's efforts in cracking down on corporations which occupy and pollute their lands, weaken their currency and use their citizens as sweatshop bodies for a bowl of rice a day. Everyone from Detroit to Shanghai would benefit.
The Russians despise the US. The US has been monkeying around in what they see as their region (Ukraine, support for Israel, conflict over drilling the Arctic, etc) and they aren't happy about it. Russia sees itself as strong again and they aren't going to take from anyone, let alone ally with the US. You are forgetting that Putin was forged as an intelligence officer at the height of the Cold War, and is also a megalomanical narcissist (much like Trump), a personality type that does not play well with others.
China owns a large chunk of US debt, and the are posturing in the South China Sea as a pretext to disrupting US influence in the region, particularly trade routes. China hates the fact the US has 75,000 personnel stationed on Okinawa (and hundreds of thousands more throughout Japan, Korea and the Phillipines), and they will never forget what the Japanese did to them in the 1930s. And guess who keeps Japan safe atm? The US. China has it's own interests and they don't align with the US's.
If Trump wins the election it will result in global disaster, but he won't. Not a hope in . HRC is also a devil, but she's not a loudmouthed, blatantly ignorant snakeoil salesman who think the nuclear codes are an option if he doesn't get his way. The citizenry of the US will recognise that distinction at the ballot box.
Since when did Trump pretend he's going to do anything about the environment? He holds the environment in contempt!
I doubt he really cares about the Chinese people getting lung cancer from inhaling factory smoke, but he'll brag about that if it's something that goes in his favor.
