Contrary to what the Media has been saying, Jeb Bush WILL be going to the Republican Convention. His mom will come along with him.

It's no secret that Trump supporters are less educated statistically.

It's really important to pay attention to proper grammar when calling people stupid. Statistically, I mean.

I know what you meant to say, though. Considering the average graduate of a 4-year college in the US is not too smart, barely literate, and completely ignorant of history, I wouldn't put too much stock in someone's "education."

If you're going to throw statistics (Spelled Correctly) into the mix at least show the Hillary supporters responsible for the count.

Thats not my opinion SirDrago. I embrace diversity, believe in my daughters rights as a woman.

Your Daughter has NO rights in their view..
Under their laws..
She cannot have a job, she can't go to school, she can't drive a car, she Must have sex with her husband at ANY time (NO RAPE LAWS) if she's married with no children she is considered less than human. Etc etc etc
These are the people hillary is bringing into our country by the boat loads.
I will pray for you and your daughter Bro.

And sometimes lack of "political correctness" is just rudeness and lack of respect for other human beings, thinly covering fascism.

The very vast majority of today's Politicians and Media are Politically Correct.

Do you trust them? I certainly don't. That's why I prefer to hear the truth... even if it hurts

Thanks for the prayers!

Hillary and the democrats are not perfect, but their approach to the problems we have is much better in my opinion. I am perfectly comfortable with continuing the work done by our current president. Sometimes we have to choose sides. Say what you will, but Donald Trump and the republicans supporting him and just not my kind of people.

Donald does however win the hot daughter award if its any consolation.

Of course the truth is important. But I look at proof. My fuel prices are low, more people have some type of insurance than ever before, my taxes aren't higher, and until recently, the last 8 years we have been safe from war.

Weekend's here - Here's a suggestion for everyone!

This weekend DON'T watch any political news, listen to any politicians, watch political video clips, or read any political articles. No matter which "side" they're on.

INSTEAD, pick up a copy of Dr. Robert Cialdini's outstanding book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion"*. Learn how to recognize the ways in which you're constantly being "sold" - whether by the media, by a politician or by a company**. Then return from your hiatus Monday and apply what you learned to everything you hear and read. Everything.

No time for the book? Short version of some key chapters and some related articles here - http://www.media-studies.ca/articles.htm (section on Persuasion and Propoganda.) All written or based upon writing by scholars, psychologists and historians, OUTSIDE of the scope of modern politics.

Whatever your viewpoint, it's important to understand how easily you can be played and how to guard against it.

* or "Influence: Science and Practice" - same content, one of them is the revised edition.

** Choosy mothers choose Jif" - sounds ridiculous, but subtly linking the product to one's parenting skills has sold a lot of peanut butter.

As far as Trump supporters being less educated, this is well known, even by Trump:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown...vals-in-support-from-less-educated-americans/

Less educated people are easier controlled by fear and bs.

As far as that quote, what in the world are you talking about? A bunch of nonsense. Read this:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...-trump-again-fails-screen-out-falsehood-oft-/

Only 2% are men of combat age, half are children. They're vetted. And we have our own laws in this country, most Muslims here are glad to get away from all that nonsense. You whole post was fear mongering.

It's been pointed out while all politicians lie, Trump lies the most. There are fact checker sites taking him apart, stats on this etc.

The Convention was a mess just like I thought it would be. Besides major people staying away.

Steve King talking about sub groups - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...es-whites-made-contributions-to-civilization/

Trump adviser talking about Hillary " put in the firing line and shot for treason"

Melania plagiarizing

Kasich people leaking he was offered the VP and he would be in charge of both domestic and foreign policy, the most powerful VP ever and Trump would be in charge of... Making America Great Again. Even tho this could very well be fake, it's funny as hell the Kasich camp released this and probably would be true. What does Trump know about world affairs? Just from his recent comments about NATO

Ted Cruz handling Trump at his own convention. Even tho I think Cruz is a weasel, at least he had some balls. You don't bow down to Trump after the stuff he said.

Then Trump's, 1 hr and 15 minute speech, the amount of lies, more fear mongering, he knows his audience. They slurp that stuff up. For any Sanders voters still on the fence, thanks Trump for making their decision clear. Just firmed them up for Hillary. No details. Just, I'll fix everything, won't tell you how but I will.

Donald does however win the hot daughter award if its any consolation.

True, earlier I gave links to all the inappropriate stuff he said about his own daughter, just wrong.

"Restore Law and Order"??

Sounded like some dictator that either doesnt understand US law or someone that will say anything just to win. Either way its all BS words.. DT is a scammer.. Believe what you want but I can recognize it a mile away.

 

[SirDrago]

Beieve what you want.

"BELIEVE"
Honestly the more you write the more you discredit your own statement.
Thank you.

"someine that will say anything just to win.

"SOMEONE "
