US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

On a level comparable in even a small way to Obama?

I would say yes. Love him or hate him you can't take away his unbelievable victory.

On a historic level to Obama ? Whatever for ? Reagan was also old when elected

[aygart]

I would say yes. Love him or hate him you can't take away his unbelievable victory.

Of course it was am unbelievable victory, but that does not make it remotely as historic as Obama's first inauguration.

Of course it was am unbelievable victory, but that does not make it remotely as historic as Obama's first inauguration.

If Obama was elected 20/30/40 years ago that would be historic. In todays environment to me is no big deal. Also your question was "even a small way".

Lets talk about his actions and not his childish words. Here is how he helps the average American. 

In the first hour of Trump's presidency, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development sent a letter to lenders, real estate brokers and closing agents suspending the 0.25 percentage point premium rate cut for Federal Housing Administration-backed loans. The new rates, announced on Jan. 9, would have gone into effect on Friday.

It's for a very specific type of loan and it is said to be costing the people on it under $28 a month.

come on you are being ridiculous. I support trump and did not support Obama, but would have been much much much more likely to watch Obama's that Trump's. I did not watch Trump's or Obama's  but would have been much moor likely to watch Obama's.

Isn't it at least 10% of all loans issued? It is more than $28/mo but I will accept your figure. You want to QP $336 for my daughters mortgage this year?

come on you are being ridiculous. I support trump and did not support Obama, but would have been much much much more likely to watch Obama's that Trump's. I did not watch Trump's or Obama's  but would have been much moor likely to watch Obama's.

Fact: I watched Trump but did not watch either of Obamas. Who is being ridiculous?

It's about avoiding a government mandated banking crisis. Let actuaries determine the appropriate rate, not political hacks.

How is 1 in 5 become the 'Average American'?

Looks like they finally grabbed his phone

Trump picks Sinatra's "My Way" song. He either is completely oblivious of the songs meaning or is facing reality.

Just curious- did you pick apart every single thing that Obama said or did the same way you're doing for Trump? Sometimes it sounds like- "Trump walks into school, so sad he is oblivious to the racial implications". I mean seriously, when you see someone nitpick so much it makes you think that they're being irrational and can't find anything of substance to complain about.

While we're nitpicking already, why don't we blame Trump for using the song against the wishes of Sinatra's daughter?

No because IIRC most here did that for me. It regards to the song I just I should have added a 

I can't agree with you more on this statement. Now if Trump would understand this then he get on with governing this country.

You are only proving my point

That would be because you were watching for the entertainment value.

[JTZ]

You are only proving my point

Only if your point is Trumps was more historic. 

That would be because you were watching for the entertainment value.

No I watched to see if the importance of the office finally sunk in. Unfortunately that didn't happen. 

[Super Speed]

Only if your point is Trumps was more historic.  :PNo I watched to see if the importance of the office finally sunk in. Unfortunately that didn't happen.

What would you have need to have heard in order for you to see that reality has sunk in?

Trump will never meet your standard. He is who he is and you need to accept that even though you do not like it. I don't like it any better than you do. (BTW, I did understand that this was the real reason you watched) His character is was it is. THe big question is what will happen in reality and not the noise around it.

I believe his character affects his decisions so I can't just dismiss it like most here do.

I haven't been following Chris. Does he still feel the thrill going up his leg ? Or did he finally catch the damn insect.
