It's so silly. You all sound like little kids on the schoolyard. It's time to grow up, stop arguing and hold EVERY politician to a higher standard regardless of political party. If we get the politicians we deserve than America is jam-packed with bickering, delusional, easily-manipulated childish victims of propaganda. Sad. I expect more from my fellow citizens (and GFYers) but I guess, in the end, I'm the Fool for believing you should all see through this nonsense.
Carry on I guess.

I don't have a "team".
I was a hardcore Republican under Reagan ("We were going to defeat the communists") and then I saw what the Republican party did to Bill Clinton. I don't care what your politics was - that was just wrong. Period.
Since then I vote for who I thin it the right person.
I liked McCain. He was my Senator when I lived in Arizona. He went to to Vietnam, called them gooks, and when everyone was stunned he stood by his comment - He was a POW and they did some nasty stuff. But McCain paired up with Palin and well, that was a bit much.
I liked Romney too. I bitched about his business model here on GFY but it's really nothing short of brilliant. He uses OPM - other people's money - to buy a business and then charges huge management fees. No matter what happens they make money. But in the end I thought we owed Obama the chance.
With the last race I had my favorite, and he was a a Republican. It was John Kasich. I would have picked him over Hillary. I would have picked Rubio or Hillary. I would never pick Trump over anyone. For me it was "anyone other than Trump".
This isn't a political issue for me. This is about my country. Everything Trump does is just wrong. It's like he has a decision between right or wrong, and he picks wrong every time. In the mean time he is a huge embarrassment.
Our election was influenced by a foreign power. This needs to be our priority. This is by far the most dangerous thing that has ever happened to our country. Yet for some reason we are doing nothing about it.
