    Haha. I think I escaped by several means. I've never been mainstream, and that helped.

    It's my observation that the idealized woman smiles and serves endlessly. Women who don't, pay a price and are usually judged harshly. JMO.

    In lots of ways you're right. One area, though, where who the president is does matter is in supreme court (and lower court) nominees.

    And does anyone truly believe that the response to 9/11 would've been the same if Gore had been the one appointed president by the supreme court?

    So, yeah, oftentimes it probably doesn't much matter who is president because they have to work with congress, but every once in a while it really matters a lot. Like, more US soldiers died in Iraq a country not involved in 9/11, than people died on 9/11, a lot.

    Trump is leading in the polls in Florida, the state third in Hispanic population(California and Texas are higher). We also have two candidates, Bush and Rubio in the mix.

    Of of interst though is the percent of voter turnout in the presidential election.

    i haven't found statistics about percent of Hispanics who vote though.

    if I were to believe the media and popular modern folklore, I would have said turnout was abysmal. However it is in the 60 percent range in most areas. There are a certain amount of people who don't care. A certain amount will have extenuating circumstances and so on.

    Remember when she was "dead broke" after all those years of selfless service? "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education. "

    More minority outreach from Trump. I gotta admit, though, that for someone like Trump, who doesn't believe that the 14th amendment says what it pretty clearly does say, this actually is a logical next step in the thought process.

    Just FYI

    (b) Citizens

    Except as otherwise provided by the President and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may authorize and prescribe, it shall be unlawful for any citizen of the United States to depart from or enter, or attempt to depart from or enter, the United States unless he bears a valid United States passport.
