    I was impressed by Romney's competence years ago.
    But, I do remember him underperforming in the debates on tax arguments and other arguments that I thought should have been no brainers for a conservative.

    It turns out we learned why. He was not really left or right... he was establishment.


    I did not realize he was such and establishment tool until the last 2 years.
    It turns out I did see his true colors. So even though I would have still preferred him to Obama I was wrong about him so I did not argue with you on that point.

  2. But the video certainly did contribute, and the State Dept made mistakes, but it wasn't Clinton's fault. Even though she admitted responsibility.

    So deluded people swallowed the right wing lies about her and instead we have an idiot as POTUS. The world is laughing at how stupid we are.

    You said the same thing about Trump when it came to his own tax plan just a few weeks ago, in 2 years you would call Trump establishment and the new Republican will be the new anti-est. crusader.

    Nonsense. Explain how the Obama regime looked into the future during the attack to know "the assets were too far away to reach on time." They didn't you utter moron. Nobody had any idea how long our people would be under attack. It's NEVER acceptable to leave Americans hanging out to die and help should have been sent.
    Says the deranged, hateful old man. Your life sucks because you suck. The problem isn't Trump or what you imagine about him and his supporters. The problem is you.

    I don't have to explain anything, go read the REPUBLICAN report, stop repeating old busted talking points by Hannity you inbred Con. Everything is explained by Gowdy in the report who is no friend of Hillary.

    And you calling me old? Says the supporter of a 72 year old brain dead retard whose only qualification in life is being born into a wealthy family and then scamming dumb victims like you. Take another course at Trump University before bothering me with more dumb shit.

    For the fourth time, explain how the Obama regime looked into the future during the attack to know "the assets were too far away to reach on time." You keep dodging because you can't. That was only known in hindsight. Help should have been sent. That's not a talking point, it's a fact. Had Trump left Americans hanging out to die like Obama did, and then tried to blame it on a Youtube video, you'd be posting about it endlessly.
    Yeah he was born into a wealthy family but you left out that he still made billions on top of that and he vanquished the Clintons and Bushes as a political novice. You really should get professional help but I must admit that it's amusing to watch you suffer from your TDS.

    Jesus Christ, is it that hard to read up something on your own and get informed?

    Obama admin had ordered military assets to be on the ground days before the attack, it was the military who delayed it for their own logistical reasons

    The report highlights the military’s failure to carry out Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s order to deploy forces to Benghazi and the lengthy delay that prevented the military assets from arriving at the embassy in Tripoli until 2 p.m. the day after the Benghazi attack.

    There goes that talking point.

    The fact that you know nothing and are proud of it explains your support for that dumb retard of a man.

    Read and weep Con. It shows how Trump ordered an operation while he was having dinner at his bribe house which led to the death of four Americans. Trump killed those brave men because he had to play golf, he ordered that mission when the military didn't want it.

    And as for him making 'billions', if he had invested his 200 million dollars inheritance in the index, he would have been richer

    Then he ran scams like the Trump University, where his marketing strategy was

    which he had to settle by paying 25 million in damages.

    Some great role model you have got there.

    almost all the libertarians and conservatives here projected the risk with Trump. Almost everyone knew he was a wild card. I wrote about it as did others.
    I recall writing that as long as we get conservative sup ct pick he will be better than hillary but I am sure I hoped for more winning than we are getting.

    You guys really should be happy. Massive spending. DACA programs which your side rejects for campaign purposes. Pro gun control stances. Big tax cuts for you donors. Trump is great for Democrat goals is he not? He gives you a chance to talk about racism... what more could you want a democrat at heart with an R next to his name so you can drum up the hate.

    So Dems love those tax cuts which is why they voted against it and never tried to pass anything similar on their own? Why are you blaming Dems for standard Republican policies? And Dems didn't reject any DACA programs, they stuck a deal with Congressional Repubs which was rejected by Trump, do you want a source?

    Bullshit. Not that we need to see it in a report anyway, because it's common sense which leftists like you lack. Especially when it comes to hiding leftist failures.

    "The Defense Department has consistently said it couldn’t have gotten to Benghazi in time to save Americans. The panel says, however, DOD should have tried because it didn’t know at that moment when the final wave of attacks would end. One staffer said that had the attack lasted just an hour or two longer, the Defense Department might have been able to respond.

    The military, the committee staffer said, didn’t deploy until after the Libyans had stepped in to save and evacuate Americans to Tripoli, which happened sometime around 6 a.m. Libya time, the panel says. And even then, the military went to Tripoli, never Benghazi."

    You can read that many other Obama/Clinton Benghazi failures here:
    Final Benghazi report details administration failures
    https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/benghazi-report-obama-clinton-224854

    As for Trump and the index fund meme, even leftist Politifact disagrees. Not to mention that the comparison is idiotic on its face. He could have had even more if he put it all in Microsoft. Shoulda coulda woulda. Regardless, Trump made billions whether you acknowledge it or not.And the fact that it frosts your ass is icing on the cake.
