Dallas Morning News Shocks Republicans

[metis]

Sounds like the same simplistic garbage that has been thrown at him since the beginning.

Did you actually stop to think that it's actually quite provably correct? Just ask the many Republicans who have abandoned his ship and called him worse names that what you quoted. If you can't actually see the rather obvious connection to the DMN endorsement, plus why even many conservative Republicans have declared him "not fit for prime time", then maybe you're missing somethings.

plus have more socialistic programs

Does the extra money that Canada has to spend on social programs come from the fact they don't have to spend that much on their military since the U.S. will defend them?

Doubtless that is a huge factor.
As long as the USA insists on being the sole remaining superpower, the rest of the world can invest in infrastructure and education and such.
The USA is picking this, not Canada.

If Trump said he preferred white milk over chocolate milk someone somewhere would turn it into something about racism. BTW I don't actually support Trump but I am voting for him to hopefully keep Hillary out and I imagine when all is said and done there will be a few "closet Trump voters" out there which means when the curtain or booth is closed they will cast their vote for Trump and tell their friends something else.

Exactly! I wasn't blaming the government of Canada but when someone from Canada talks about all their social programs they might want to at least give a nod to the fact that if it wasn't for the United States military power, influence, and protection, their current way of life that they enjoy would not be a reality.

Then again, if the USA weren't stirring up trouble from wars in the Middle East to banking crises maybe more of the human race would be able to do that.

Probably to a certain extent, but I would have to see how that works out in per capita spending. But Canadian taxes are higher overall, including the GST that largely finances their universal medical coverage.

Balderdash, and it surprises me not that you can't see it in Trump whereas even so many Republicans can.

 

[Revoltingest]

Are there people that actually actively support Trump? I thought it was just a question of which of the two evils someone thinks is marginally better.

I know some who really like him.

Wirey & I compared taxes a while back.
No detectable difference.

Maybe if we hadn't spent the multiple trillions on two crazy wars, then just maybe we could have afforded at least a fraction of that to help a people called "Americans". And, btw, I do indeed blame Hillary for her voting yes on that, and I felt that way from the get-go.

But no matter how one plays this, the reality is that the Canadians have chosen to better take care of their own people who voted for politicians that put these programs into place. After all, polls taken there about five or so years ago found that the Saskatchewan doctor who devised their universal medical coverage several decades ago is the single most popular person in Canadian history.

BTW, as unpatriotic as this sounds, I feel much more at home socially and politically there than I do in the States.

I'm surprised that you seem to think if some Republicans think he is a racist then it must be true, as if Republicans overall were the racist ruler to measure racism. Here's a video of Grand Wizard Trump speaking at an American church in Detroit on 9/3/16, apparently he left his hood at home:

And that's your "evidence"?

I've only seen unsubstantiated claims from you, I posted a video of the man in his own words so if you put it on the scale I'd say my "evidence" weighs a lot more than empty claims.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Actually, I am about to retire, and can afford to move their, but I predict many of you cannot since Canada doesn't want you, they want productive members and not welfare cases.

Actually, from what I gather once I get the money to actually move Canada will welcome me, a pro-socialist far-Leftist who uses welfare. Not only does it look like my chances are good, they'll give me better health care and a better and much cheaper post-grad education.

Did you compare what you spend on health coverage?
Do you believe everything @Wirey tells you?

Hey, you can believe anything you want as I really couldn't care less what you think as it turns out. If you can't see the bigotry in what Trump has repeatedly said, then there's simply no where to go with this. Bigotry is bigotry, and Trump has mouthed it extensively, and if you can't see that-- well, that's just you I guess.

Also for those of you moving to Canada.

I'm sorry guys, but if Trump gets elected it is the planet that is in trouble. Canada is not nearly far enough away to escape the destruction he will cause. You will need to move to a different planet.




And I have spoken to people from the other planets, and they are going to build a wall and ban all earthlings from immigrating until their leaders can figure out what the hell is going on.

And as it turns out, the implication of what you're saying is correct for here's a comparison chart:http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxes-compare-internationally

Note that the U.S. is at 24% of GDP whereas Canada is at 32% of GDP.
