One of the reasons Romney's comment was upsetting was that all Social Security recipients, included in that number, believed that they paid for those benefits. He should have been more "nuanced" in his assessment, just as Hillary should have said "a few" instead of "half." <br /><br />I agree Romney should have emphasized the "better way," but Hillary made clear that any American that disagrees with her is irredeemable. That's deplorable. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-29982429173916601882016-09-13T15:13:24.128-05:002016-09-13T15:13:24.128-05:00Gino, I'd love to hear something from you abou...Gino, I'd love to hear something from you about your wife's friends' grandsons, and why they succumbed to heroin. I've had morphine a time or two after surgery, and I just don't get it. Maybe you don't know at all, though, if even the young men involved did. <br /><br />RA: 47%, I believe. Agreed that instead of saying "never will vote for me", Romney should have said "now here's a better deal for you than dependency".

Trump on the other hand, must be graded based on what Hillary and her ilk SAY he will do. Really, I like my information first hand, from the horse's mouth rather than the opposite. jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-40158639259572317782016-09-11T09:23:53.342-05:002016-09-11T09:23:53.342-05:00jerrye: she's had 25yrs to establish a track r...jerrye: she's had 25yrs to establish a track record on the border and jobs protection. why would she start that now?Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-66562813621134196342016-09-11T07:54:55.376-05:002016-09-11T07:54:55.376-05:00What I find interesting is the "better half&q...What I find interesting is the "better half" of Trump supporters-- the ones concerned about the economy, etc. Isn't the reasonable question why those folks support Trump? Surely, if Hill is going to get government to "care about" those folks, they should be supporting her, right? Wouldn't it be great to know what her plan is to do that, beyond putting coal miners out of work and letting illegals take the rest of the jobs?jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-82320072168201375492016-09-10T18:51:43.374-05:002016-09-10T18:51:43.374-05:00"And you know what I'm talking about.&quo..."And you know what I'm talking about."<br /><br />I remember when Mitt Romney said 51% of the population would never vote for him because they were addicted to government handouts.
