Still too early to say. Anything can happen between now and then!
But if the Dems get behind banning planes and cows...….then they are going to get laughed out of office!!

What country would go along with her craziness? To ban airplanes is to promote isolationism. I heard that one of the largest electric wind farms doesn't produce enough electricity to power up the New York subway system.

I wonder, does not wanting to work pay more than retiring? If it does, then I don't wanna work more than retiring.

Demos will probably have about 20 candidates. running for president.
Unfortunately, none are capable of growing the US Economy.

Nancy Pelosi and her followers will be backing them all.

economic growth is an interesting issue to campaign on. A quick non bias research took me to this site

http://www.thebalance.com/us-gdp-by-year-3305543


for stuffs and googles, I picked the five years with most growth and five with least in the last half century

top growth was

7.2 percent in 1984 (under rep Reagan, with rep senate/ dem house)
5.6 in 1973(under rep Nixon, with dem controlled congress)
5.5 in 1978(under dem Carter, with dem controlled congress)
5.4 in 1976(under rep Ford, with dem controlled congress)
5.3 in 1972(under rep Nixon, with dem controlled congress)

least growth was

-2.5 percent in 2009(under Dem Obama, with dem controlled congress)
-1.8 percent in 1982(under rep Reagan, with rep senate/dem house)
-0.2 in 1980(under rep Reagan, with dem controlled congress)
-0.1 in 2008(under rep GW Bush, with dem controlled congress)
-0.1 in 1991(under rep GH Bush, with dem controlled congress)


The numbers dont seem so clear on who does most for economic growth. top growth has been republican POTUS, but with DEM controlled congress.

The problem is the candidates that are running are a damn joke. Next thing were going to hear is that AOC is going to run. Harris, Booker and Pocahontas are like the Three Stooges. I love how Harris criticizes Trump for having an affair, I guess she was hoping people wouldn't remember that when she was in her 20's she was having an affair with the married Willy Brown who was married and in his 60's.


If the Democrats ran a good candidate like Jim Webb, they might actually win.

Loud and stupid, seems to be working
really well, for the dems.

However, AOC won't be legally old enough
to run in the 2020 presidential race.

3 poor reasons to vote for anybody. Beliefs and policy positions are what you should use to choose a candidate.

One thing that has been proven is that we need a POTUS who is more than a politician. Someone who is from the real world with real world experience!

I disagree. One can have all the beliefs and positions in the world, they are useless without the experience and character to implement them into action in the position being applied for.

Like any job, I think a candidate should know the responsibilities involved, THEYRE specific role within the bigger picture(government) including authorities AND limits, and having some education relevant to those responsibilities is a plus.

And being executive leader, I think a POTUS should have a strong working knowledge of the FRAMEWORK of the government as it pertains to where they fit in, including a working knowledge of the constitution and global relations.

ideal is a politician (experience) and someone with some civil service being exposed to and working with communities outside their own.

and therein is one of several reasons why you and I would support and vote for different candidates.

We need a leader like Trump some one who is concerned about the US economy and moving this Country forward in a positive way!

Away with people like Obama, Hillary, Bernie, Nancy Pelosi and all those who think alike.
Supporting no Borders and Thousands of ILLEGALS coming into US.

We need officials in Washington using taxpayers money towards productive things. Not giving. It away to Illegals . We have enough people already in the USA among our citizens sucking up governmental assistance.

I am for people receiving assistance legitimately.

Hopefully US will elect a Conservative in 2020. The. Leftist have no good platform for the US.

1st. No evidence he has any more 'concern' about economy than any other POTUS, past or future.

2nd. The difference between NO borders and controlled borders has been posted many times. No POTUS has supported NO BORDERS or illegals coming into the US.

I guess the ONLY thing going for him, judging by the ONLY reason I keep hearing his supporters claim, is that he shares an obsession about 'illegals'.
