    That damn DMV. Even if you do everything by mail, they still get you.

    Perhaps you meant the DNC?

    This election cycle has driven you over the edge.

    Honest question - what's worse? The DNC or the DMV?

    That's like asking to choose between The Galactic Empire or the Klingons

    My biggest concern with Trump is the national debt. He's talking about fortifying the military, creating infrastructure jobs and also slashing taxes. Where is the money going to come from?

    That's s tough one. Klingons get stuck around your anus, and the Empire can rip you a new one.

    He's on the record for cutting into government programs designed to assist people in need such as Planned Parenthood and Welfare programs.

    Planned Parenthood isn't going to make a dent in what he has planned (no pun intended). Welfare cuts are a good thing as long as they are coming against people that are abusing the system which is a decent sized chunk.

    And that's the problem there, if it's not going to make a dent, then it wouldn't make much sense other than his stance against abortions, which PP is much more than an abortion program.

    But I really can't think of where he's going to find the money to pay for all of his programs and ideas without putting the country in debt.

    Like Obama, and all Presidents of the past, they're all empty promises.

    If he is serious about keeping those promises he could probably pay for all of it just by pulling all foreign aid to other countries. We could start with not giving anymore billions to Iran.

    Foreign aid accounts for roughly 1% of the federal budget.

    The majority of the cuts would be made in the Social Security and Healthcare sectors, where most of the spend of the Federal Budget is being made.

    I'd rather reduce the number of military basses around the world.

    I don't think we should have any outside of the US.

    It's ok once the debt gets too high, he'll just have the country file for bankruptcy. It's worked for him before.

    I wasn't happy when Obama won (either time), but I never felt the desire to protest or leave the country. I survived. they will too.

    As Obama said, the sun will come up tomorrow.

    I especially love the protests waving Mexico flags. I plan on going to Russia during their elections and waving a Polish flag.
