It's bullshit, I'm afraid. You don't get complex strategy from a guy who's entire life has been one of 'going by my gut' and getting squashed by smarter businessmen. He pissed me off the most, when he said he had the authority to bomb the ancient Persian Cultural Sites. When you're threatening war crimes, you're committing treason.

We have clearly demonstrated that the US can lock up more of its citizens than any other country - regardless of size. That's quite an accomplishment for the "land of the free".

When Republicans play the character card, I call them out for grasping at straws too. Like I said, focusing on a politicians character is a sign that you don't have any good arguments, or you would be focusing on those better arguments instead. Rubes claim that politicians they like have character and those they don't like don't have character. Attacking a politician's character simply means you don't like them, it has nothing to do with their actual character. It is a simply a bullshit way to rationalize your emotional reaction to hating whatever politician you happen to hate. Edited March 19, 2020 by Yzermandius19

They are not fiscally responsible, and have made zero attempts to balance the budget, even when they had control of the house, senate and presidency. They're not morally conservative either, or they wouldn't have Trump as their leader. Hell, they wouldn't even support Trump's border security measures, which was why it wasn't until the Democrats took control of the House that he felt free to push them for money. Mostly for political reasons.
