Well I know hillary is all for helping give them their free checks.I just spent a year trying to get my mom on disability after they cut her left leg at knee.they tried to say she could possibly do desk work.I'm 100 percent trump.I believe we should have a section of government to go and investigate each disability case and they would find 75% aren't disabled and they are passing up the elderly that deserve it.sorry for the rant

That's a very generalized statement (just like the majority of Trump's statements). 26% is closer to 50% than 77%.

The middle class also gets smaller and smaller every day.

Things are not so black and white.

Everything Trump said in his very generalized acceptance speech points to bigger government strong arming folks into what he believes is right.

Sorry, but f**k that. How about giving states and individuals the right to choose what they do or don't do with their lives/businesses.

Just pave the godd***ed roads!

This is about all that needs to be said. Generalized ramblings and promises that will never be fulfilled. He's gonna do this, and that, etc..etc..etc.. Another spoke in the wheel of big government to keep big government rolling.

Mitt Romney already ran the campaign for letting States handling more issues in state. Trump is no fool. He will not repeat a failed campaign.

So how many people on here would send the check back if you had a reason to get it? Say the mother of your child died and you get a benefit check till your child is 18. I would be willing to bet not one person would send it back. Before you make assumptions about the people that receive government checks you may want to put yourself in there place and ask what would you do.

This is the problem, everyone accepts this broken system as the way. The fact that there isn't a revolt because of how we are forced into 2 candidates is telling of our state, not the fact that people lien one or the other.

This sty stem is a joke and is designed to give the illusion of participation by the population having any impact.

Any idea how many independents are registered? That's an interesting percentage to stumble across - when you find it think about how it can be what it is yet we end up with theses jokesters on the right and left.

OMG you can't be serious?? You're talkin about 1% or less of check recipients. Besides the benefit check you're talking about is SSI. Likely that dead mother's money anyway.

All good info Goooh, but the fact remains that for this election, Trump is our only rational choice. Until an independent movement catches fire, our choices are limited unfortunately. The last time we had a chance to affect the outcome was with the Tea Party movement and while that "movement" is still viable, it appears to me that it has been assimilated into the Republican party. At least we got rid of Boehner although I'm not so impressed with Ryan either, so far. IMHO, Cruz was our best shot at getting something significant done this election, but the peeps became so enamored with Trump and his so called "message" that he became unbeatable.

A vote for anyone other than trump divides us and is a voshe wins and it is possible the very fabric of our life will change and the things we love will be taken from us starting with our guns Most of you have no idea at how close we are to loosing them, Every single one of us on htis forum are republican whether we admit it or not. We all need to /vote and not just sit here wining about it. Save our rights to be Cajun country boys and VOTE!!!

Enjoy Hillary being your next president. Making sure she isn't the next president is more important to me than voting my conscience.

I've seen polls showing Johnson pulling more votes from Dems than Reps. Bernie supporters especially. Would love to see Johnson at least be in the debates. The left wing and the right wing are part of the same bird.
