Trump is not an opinion. He is just death

This is not a matter of opinion. It is not a matter of which party’s sociopolitical agenda you “believe” to be fair and true, and which you think is unsustainable and damaging – a bit of education reform here, America’s role in the U.N. there, your well-informed take on taxation and global economics, health care for the poor and the impact of environmental conservation.

I think that a lot of people are going to vote for him just because he's rich. I remember when Michael Huffington was running for the Senate, a woman I knew was going to vote for him; I said that I thought he didn't have any qualifications, he was just rich. She said "Well, I'd like to be rich." Tom Tomorrow defined this attitude as "misidentification with the economic elite".

When some people hear "Protect our border" a visceral recognition occurs.

Please forgive us for an over abundance of Testosterone

We would like a more committed Citizens Oath as well.

Maybe a new National Anthem with less reverence for War.
