But, man, your political baiting, you are so off base and, unless you are a paid poster for the Democratic Party, I don't understand what you get from it.

I went to a super left leaning university for undergrad, after going to a DODDS high school. When I asked other students why they acted like the very name of the Republican incumbent was a punchline, they guffawed and said I must be Republican. I was 16 and asking a real question. My grandfather was a Democrat delegate, so I was not preinclined to be GOP. My classmates could have truly impacted my views, if they had an answer. You just reminded me of that.

I voted for Obama (the first time only) and more recently for Gary Johnson. You want to tell me you know what I believe better than I do? I'm sure Vendzilla knows his views better than you do.

Trump donated equally to Democrats and Republicans before running. He was the first elected President to ever fly a Pride flag on the campaign trail. All the people who knee jerk rejected him and loudly said they would resist everything and would not appreciate Trump no matter what -- those people made it so the rest of us are going to get worse policy.
