    Any non-Republican, for any office. The Party has become a monster, incapable of governance or any other good office, destructive only, and perverting of any good will joined within it.

    You have been played by the con artists in your party. Think rationally, how can everything Trump do be wrong? That blank assumption is not even rational. That is a scam since the left is impotent, and making a stink is the only thing they can do, to feel empowered. Fake news is all they have. Or they turn moles hills into mountains and then hype this like the world is about to flood. Scary cons are the trademark of the left.

    Con artist skills are not the skill set that the American people will vote for. Only those on the left, who falls for the scam, will gravitate to the fake promises candidates. Trump is being true to all his promises. He is not being two faced or creating surprises intended to deceive. He is a straight shooter. There are more smart people than gullible people, so Trump will be reelected based on results and honesty and not alternative reality and lies.

    Hillary needs to just climb back in her coffin and sleep for a few hundred years...

    At this point, I think a sunflower could do a better job than either mainstream party, since Republicans have shown they don't give a good flying fuck unless they can profit from it and/or push their personal bible-thumping views, and Democrats are so out of touch with their upcoming party base that they haven't got a foundation left.

    Who runs politifact? This is paid for by Democrat party donors. It was started by someone from the Washington Times.

    On day 24, for example, the report of New Hampshire voters fraud is based on people in Massachusetts, who also have summer homes in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a excellent place for year round vacation and weekend getaways, due to mountains, lakes, sea shore and natural beauty; from hiking, boating, to skiiing.

    If your remember, Former Senator Scott Brown first ran in Massachusetts for Senate, and then he ran in NH for Senate a few years later. Like many Massachusetts residents, Brown has a summer home in NH, where he have paid property taxes for many years. This allows a dual state citizenship, which is honored in NH, but not the other way, around. People from NH are not allowed to claim the same in Massachusetts. The net result will be a NH liberal bias based on the live free slogan of NH and Massachusetts dual residency.

    Which has zero bearing on the accuracy of what is being said...

    See, Wellwisher, this is why people don't take you seriously. You seem incapable of accepting any information that DOESN'T get disseminated by your own party... which is the kind of attitude that got us in this mess in the first place.

    None of that is true, or even sensible.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolitiFact.com

    Politifact was started by a Tampa Bay Times journalist, has branches in various other newspapers including conservative or rightwing, and operates without Party affiliation. It expresses and defends the "bothsides" meme, and has exaggerated the negativity of its descriptions of Democratic Party or leftwing lying to fit that meme.

    The Washington Times, which is not involved in Politifact, is a rightwing rag launched by the Reverend Sung Myung Moon and owned by the Unification Church. Democratic Party donors are not involved in its publications either - quite the contrary.

    Perfect ad hominium. Sure not everything trump has done is bad (he rejected TPP, much to the quite consternation of his own party), not everything bush jr. did was bad (African aide) , but overall complete morons that did do retarded things that we will all have to pay for.

    What wrong with Tulsi Gabbard?

    The Democrats would be utterly mad to give Hilary another go. It's blindingly obvious the voters are looking for someone who represents a break with the past. And Hilary was pretty crap anyway as a campaigner. Her pitch seemed to be that it was just her turn, as an oppressed woman, disregarding the fact that she has been close to the centre of US power for 20 years already. Very unappealing.

    I'm no expert on US politics but it seems to me the right candidate will be unknown at this stage and will emerge to everyone's surprise after a couple of years. If there is an impeachment of The Chump, or a real constitutional fight over a free press, or against nepotism, or against using the presidency for commercial gain, all of which must be real possibilities, it might provide a platform for someone new and fresh to come to light.

    Thing is, the Dems are pretty well divided... we need someone that can bridge the gap between the old guard and the new blood... and I honestly don't know if any one candidate can do that.

    As others have pointed out, it's not relevant, and it's not entirely true. Can you disprove the relevant information it has published? You cannot. Do you have any evidence it is "paid for by Democratic Party donors"? No you, don't because it isn't true.

    The unfortunate fact for you is that Politifact is a well respected award winning media outlet.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolitiFact.com#History

    And how is any of that relevant and where is your evidence? Each state has its own residency requirements. Unfortunately for you and your Republican cohorts fact and reason still matter to most Americans.

    Fortunately they did not; the majority voted for Clinton. However, we have an electoral vote system, and the con artist won.
    So he released his taxes as he promised to? Perhaps you can point me to the place he released them.
