    Everyone keeps saying America needs to be great again. Obviously, you have not travelled outside the US. We ARE great! As far as Melania.... I don't think a person who posed in the nude .. shows the dignity/class to be a first lady. As far as hypocrites-- Trump takes the cake. He outsourced jobs, was involved with the Mafia, scammed people of their money in the Trump University fiasco, and did whatever he felt necessary to make money (legal or not). BTW his case comes up in November for the Trump University debacle (unfortunately, after the election). If he is found guilty, he will be a felon. That is the type of person he is.

    Compared to Bangladesh America is great.

    Compared to Denmark...Norway...The UK... America has a ways to go.

    I ain't been all around the world, but I have been to England, Spain, Portugal, and Costa Rica

    Most Trump supporters either don't have the discretionary money or maybe get two days vacation a year or if they do have the money and time, have no desire to travel outside the US. They like it fine right here but as GREAT as it is here, they know it could be fantastic. We don't apologize to every Tom, Dick and Harry country for our greatness. A First Lady who had a risqué photo shoot before she ever got in the White House or a President who got a blowjob while he was in the Oval Office....who shows more dignity? Did you know when you take out the trash, you are involved with the mafia.....when you recycle, you contribute to organized crime. The Trump University cases are all civil litigation. That doesn't make him a felon.

    I think the guy has been terribly misunderstood. He's a political moron but a very valuable one. MHe's got a lot of people "rattled". A lot of smug people who thought they had the country in he palms of their hands and now.......crap happens.

    that should be enough of a reason to convince them things kind of suck here (I mean hey that's a sucky life). I'm not trying to travel far either though (my carbon impact is enough just surviving thank you very much), but I like time off.

    Compared to Venezuela it's paradise....I won't deny that. Depending on your social class, America is not very competitive with much of Western Europe in terms of quality of life. Sad but true.....once again depending on your social class. And once again this comes from someone with family in Europe who has lived amongst everyday people. Rob

    While i agree with you that i am tired of the can being kicked I'm not sure trump will solve that problem. Instead of kicking the can he may well steer the country into the ditch, off the road altogether. My concern about a trump oresidency isnt so much myself. I'm an upper middle class white guy. I'll likely muddle through. But for people who arent straight white male christians life will potentially be so much worse under trump. Hillary wont likely be great for them but at least she wont actively be trying to harm them. If she wins she gives the bernie revolution time to continue building and kill the neoliberal bullcrap that bill created by turning the prty into a bunch of damn nicon republicans. If trump wins all those minirities that make the democratic prty will just be struggling to not get dead.

    I think America needs to hit rock bottom before it can really rise up and be a respectable nation on par with Denmark or Norway or even Canada. Trump is America's rock bottom.
