I voted for Johnson - as a protest against both Hillary and Donald. Both are crooks and con men/woman. No one thought Johnson would win so taking about Weld, etc., is just a diversion to justify going with the con man.

All politicians are sleazoids? No they're not. Are all the people in your line of work sleazy? Saying all politicians are sleazy is just a lazy way of justifying voting for Trump. Trumpettes are always full of excuses. Always an excuse. Like any of the other Republican candidates couldn't cut taxes and help business. There're Republicans, that's what they do. But any of them would have had a clue as to what they are doing and would have actually passed a healthcare bill. You think it takes special skill to appoint to the SC one of the many middle-aged white guys fro the Federalist Society's list. Real hard.

But hey - with Donald you get the added bonus of see him parrot Fox and Friends, Russian collusion, all the drama of his hundreds of lies, and general buffoonery. And we get to see hundreds of posts by StroudCrowd trying to justify Donald's clownish behavior. I guess that counts for something.

Any of the other Republican candidates running against Donald could and would have done all that Trump has done, and more. It's not like Donald has done political miracles. It's Republican political orthodoxy. 

But with the others you wouldn't get the clown show. And being a devote of Alex Jones you enjoy the clown show. So I get it.

Again, clueless. Very few would have pulled out of the Paris non-treaty and the Iran non-treaty, maybe just Cruz. While I agree that most Republicans would have picked strict constructionist SCOTUS nominees, I doubt Christie or Kasich would have, and even fewer would have defended Kavanaugh after the character assassination assault from the Left. Christie and Kasich probably would not have turned back the Obama-imposed regulations either. Most, but not all, would have gotten rid of ISIS as Trump has (you should at least notice the lack of beheading headlines since Trump took office). None would have taken on our trade "partners" to get deals that are more fair to the US, or criticized the NATO 'allies' for failing to uphold their obligations.

Trump has done more to boost US sovereignty in the world and return congressional authority to lawmaking than any other POTUS since Coolidge. And all you see is the "clown show."

And I don't remember Ted Cruz actually bowing to anyone, although your Leftist allies make that claim.

I give Christie and Kasich more credit than you.

I'm inclined to applaud anyone who restores authority to Congress and takes it away from decades-old regulatory agencies, but our Congress has shown no signs of being competent to hold this power in the last eight years. Especially in the house the Republican majority can't agree among themselves on anything other than trashing what Democrats do.
