        That’s a broad statement. Non of us think there is no difference between the GOP and Dems. I’m in a Dem state and I know the “horrors” of Dem policies. Even smart men like their bubbles.

        Not that I am a huge Trump fan, but can you expand on the "horrors of Trump" outside of his demeanor and irresponsible tweeting. I can see where you might have issues with him personally, but as far as job performance, I fail to see any "horrors"

        Please elaborate on the "horrors of Trump". Objective, reasonable Americans are horrified by the Democrats.

        The horror is that Congress will not fix the broken immigration laws. Though I did not agree with the separation of children from their parents, many of the children were traveling with people that were not their parents.

        The separations were going on before he became Pres. Journalists and border forces blew the whistle but the media didn't want to know, until it was Trump.

        You mean like like allowing an ambassador to be murdered, selling military weapons to the drug cartel, using Gov. agencies to intimidate citizens, ordering the death without trial of citizens, selling critical radioactive material to sworn enemies? Oh wait that was Obama. My bad.

        I live in a Dem controlled state and see first hand the HORRORS of their politics. I’ve voted repub or independn’t but the Chi-style politics always win here. From what I’ve seen, the only horrors you could be talking about is the loss of leftist control over this country.

        Or vote third party so we can bring an end to Dems & GOP. You’re wrong. There is no difference between them. That nitwit, Hillary Clinton, is responsible for Trump. Stop blaming the voters.

        What do you define as "the horrors of Trump"? Unemployment rate is amazingly low right now. The African American unemployment rate is lower than ever. The Unemployment rate for women is lower than it is for men. The USA decreased emissions more than any country in the PCA.
