So The Battle Of Gettysburg per Uncle Trump 2 weeks to the election is what people want to hear? Was that the winning game?
So all his policies all the while doesn't count?
Aha, saving private Trump.
The Bigoted one is done. He started his speech by blaming Blacks and Latinos. What a pice of garbage he is. Can't wait for the Charlatan to go away for good after November 8.

The misogynistic piece of poo was threatening to sue the women who accused him of sexual harassment after the election. There is nothing the low life won't do. At least, he's admitting he's going to lose on November 8. What a shame a con artist is the face of the Republican party.

Yes. If anything should be changed, they made provisions for constitutional amendments that must the agreed upon by every state and not 9 men in black robes or presidential decrees.

The Constitution is built upon a profound skepticism about the ability of any political arrangement to overcome the limitations of human reason and human nature, and so establishes a system of checks to prevent sudden large mistakes while enabling gradual changes supported by a broad and longstanding consensus. That is why it is always a better idea for states to decided certain laws and other states can learn from it instead of forcing a law down everyone's throat at the same time. The founders understood that and planned for it.

There's also the tyranny of power when one political party controls 31 states and 70 state legislative chambers.So No,some decisions should not be left in the hands of the state.

While we can agree that the constitution should be a living document subject to the amendment process but we know that can't work when the political ideology from majority of the states would win over any other argument.If you want to keep the constitution static you ignore the changes that have taken place in America the past 200 years.Slavery,disenfranchisement of women to vote or hold public office,the rights of people of color are denied when you keep the constitution the way it is.

The founding fathers intended the Constitution be changed by the will of the people to reflect the realities of the future.The will of the people here is electing a legitimate President to public office and appoint Justices to the Supreme Court to uphold the law and guarantee every American has the same right,freedom and equality which cannot be trusted to the hands of the state to do as they please as there will not be a consensus on what rights should be respected,the freedom of citizens would not be clearly defined and the system will continually be rigged against certain people-minorities and even women,throwing away the place of equality.

The constitution should not be strictly interpreted ever.The constitution itself is a compromise between the founding fathers during their time.Today,that compromise would not be reached when there's a deep ideological divide across the country.

I call BS on that. Bill Clinton and Jimmy carter won the south, Urban cities in the south have democrat mayors and most congressional districts were democrat until the late 80s. Besides, there is deep south and there are states like Maryland, Virginia, Texas Florida and the North Carolina that are not in the deep south. Deep south states like Mississippi and Alabama congressional districts were democrat until the late 80s when the boomers became the larger electorate there.
I particularly have a problem with the Deep South not the South generally.The conservative base of the Deep South has shifted far away from objectivity and reason which continually threatens a healthy political discussion.

The bolded is just false and shows you dont really understand how this country was founded. The founders NEVER wanted the president to appoint judges that will make laws from the bench and the only purpose of the supreme court is to interpret the constitution. If you read what they wrote the made that clear.

Experts should not govern, nor should the people do so directly, but rather the people’s representatives should govern in a system filled with mediating institutions and opposing interests — a system designed to force us to see problems and proposed solutions from a variety of angles simultaneously and, as Alexander Hamilton puts it in Federalist 73, “to increase the chances in favor of the community against the passing of bad laws through haste, inadvertence, or design.”

Federalist 63, James Madison says plainly that the constitutional architecture involves “the total exclusion of the people in their collective capacity” from directly governing. The democratic elements of the Constitution are intended to be checks on the power of government, not expressions of trust in the wisdom of the public as a whole. And even as checks, these elements are imperfect. As Madison argues in Federalist 51, “A dependence on the people is no doubt the primary control on the government, but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.

The framers were disdainful of the potential of technocratic know-it-alls whose abstract expertise was often of value only in what Hamilton calls, in Federalist 28, “the reveries of those political doctors whose sagacity disdains the admonitions of experimental instruction.” And even men with expertise in administration should not be given too much power. In Federalist 68, Hamilton argues that, while good administration is very important, the idea that the best-administered regime is the best regime is a “political heresy.” There is much more to government than administration.

So you are absolutely wrong. They did not want people to elect a president that will appoint judges that suits his ideology. Did you say freedom cannot be trusted in the hands of the state? What exactly do you mean?

Na wa o. Isn't the election going to be rigged?
CHICAGO — Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.

Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.

“I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan said. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.”

The conservative website Illinois Review reported that “While using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate’s party. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race.

Moynihan offered this gracious lesson to his followers on Twitter: “Be careful when you vote in Illinois. Make sure you take the time to check your votes before submitting.”

Cook County Board of Elections Deputy Communications Director Jim Scalzitti, told Illinois Watchdog, the machine was taken out of service and tested.

“This was a calibration error of the touch-screen on the machine,” Scalzitti said. “When Mr. Moynihan used the touch-screen, it improperly assigned his votes due to improper calibration.”

I live only 15 minutes away from the city mentioned and no Chicago news outlet is reporting that junky garbage the Foreigners for Tramp are dishing out.
