In 2016 I listened to Hillary and Trump. Hillary's public positions were very vague...but seemed to me to be a continuance of the way the economics of our country were going. I disagreed with her tax plan, economic plan, foreign policy, and trade ideas.

I agreed with Trump 100% on those issues.
And I voted my wallet.

I'm pissed that the media and the Democrats are so butt-hurt over losing the election and being 100% wrong that they are doing everything they can think of from their old-school political playbook to stop Trump.

I voted for change for the economy.
No, I don't agree with Trump's "wall" or this pot thing.

But it's hard for me to voice any criticism when there are all the delicate "snowflakes" acting insane on here.
I find myself "defending" the President in the arguments, when I don't really want to.

I'd rather wait (just like I did in 2008 with hopefulness for Obama) and allow the man to get some things done and see the RESULTS.
Then if it's fucked up...I could voice rational disagreement and criticism.

Just like this pot issue. I think it's a big mistake on Trump's part if he allows Sessions to move forward with this.
He is probably thinking it will help him with "conservatives" (because a quick look at Trump's total life shows he has always been a liberal) and shut them up.

I think he's dead wrong about that.
He proved in the campaign that he didn't have to suck up to conservatives. And he still won.
Yeah I agree with a lot of what you are saying.

What are your thoughts about having to poll nationally @ 15% to get into the presidential debate? I listened to quite a bit of Gary Johnson and I really think that had he been allowed to debate he would have convinced a massive number of people to vote for him because so many felt they had little choice with such poor candidates on both sides.

Why did you not vote Johnson this time and went with Trump? Was it because you felt you needed to vote for the lesser of 2 evils?
