    You chose your own irrational and insane platform. Don’t blame the lefties for trump winning the republican primaries.

  2. I blame lefties for Trump winning the election. Hillary Clinton? Really? That was the best you could come up with? And a couple of commies running against her in your primaries to show what, some contrast that she wasn't completely nuts? And now what, Kamala Harris and Spartacus? Jesus Christ, this is your best?

    I'm still not sure how the Democrats putting forth a weak candidate explains why the Republicans picked Trump.

  4. Because the republicans had an open enough process to allow the electorate to choose what was painfully obvious. The people of this country wanted something other than a business as usual political hack. The DNC and the media didn't pick up on that until it was too late, and that's as generous as I can be to understand their support for Clinton. It's easily arguable that they all colluded to push her over the finish line when it became apparent that the democratic electorate preferred Sanders. Either way it was a monumental screw up and the left has still yet to own it. Hence the collusion fantasy.

    “As the stock market churned this week, President Trump anxiously called advisers both inside and outside the White House looking for validation that his talks with China were not driving the sell-off,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

    “Fresh off what he described as a ‘historic’ weekend meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping, Mr. Trump has questioned why the markets weren’t reacting more positively to the news of his potential breakthrough with Beijing. In consulting with advisers, he remained convinced that the volatility wasn’t his own doing, but rather, the product of the Federal Reserve’s plan to raise the benchmark interest rate.”

    “But investors—and many within his administration—saw it differently… Publicly, Mr. Trump has often dismissed market fluctuations as part of a natural correction, but several people close to the president say he places as much importance on the health of the Dow Jones Industrial Average for validation of his job performance as he does with his polling numbers.”

    Are you blaming the democrats for selecting Trump as the Republican candidate?
    Or are you blaming the democrats for not winning the Presidency?

    What does collusion have to do with this? You are all over the place here.

    Classic con excuse from the party of personal responsibility, with the hope to save face for being exposed an idiot.
