Is Trump the " Manchrian Candidate"

I don't mean literally...but I do refer to the issues.

Why don't you tell us.

Been reading the chicago tribune again

Trump is Trump... So far all of his cabinet picks have been made with mostly business oriented personnel, which is right in line with his promises to run the government like a business. I don't know that I agree with all his choices, but then again, I'm not a billionaire either... so for now I'll defer to him on who's best for what position.

Remember guys, it took decades for us to get into the place we are in right now. He's not going to be able to change all that in a few weeks.. Hell, he's not even in office yet, so lets see how we feel about him in a few years. 2020 is always an option if we don't like him, but my bet is that we will vote him into office a second time.

A bit curious about the whole Russia thing........CIA reports proof of hacking to enhance anti Clinton on wikilinks.....and Trump adds Russia connected guys into his team.

I'm not.....repeat.....NOT participating in a liberal vs etc argument.....just making the statement, and we'll see where this goes once he's in office.

Also read that the day Trump takes office, he'll be breaking USA federal law if he hasn't yet disconnected from his businesses.

Interesting times for sure.

You read fake news. There is no stature that says that a person has to disconnect him or herself from their business while being president. In fact, most early presidents were farmers and ran their farm (business) while they were in office. (That's why there are term limits on being president, because the framers of the constitution could not conceive of anyone wanting to be away from their farm for very long, so they made the term limit to force people to stay in office for at least 4 years). Of course that pendulum has swung the other way now, but that's why term limits were originally mandated.

As for the Russian thing, Jullian Asage, the publisher of Wikileaks, on Hannity today, stated very clearly that the source of the Wikileaks info he published about Jon Podesta's emails did NOT come from Russia. He denied it completely. And the guys that Trump has added are connected to Russia, England, France, China, Germany, the middle east, etc. They are global businessmen and players on the world stage. So unless you're afraid of England or France turning against us I wouldn't worry all that much. (And I'd remind everyone that we already do HUGE amounts of business with China, one of the most repressive communist regimes on Earth).

If this nation put as much effort into making sure that it's citizens, gov. , military retailers, etc. could not be hacked as we do fighting about who and why and how we were hacked we would be way ahead. But then what would we put on tv?

[bradford]

Screw tv, turned off the bs comcast a while back, one of the better things ive done this year.

Republican Senator John McCain is saying some things worth considering.
