is this like when you trumpists blatantly redefined the term 'establishment' so that it no longer included one of the biggest moneyed interests in republican politics?
I realize you're trying to insult me with your "trumpists" term and no...this is where I tell you that people like you who put party above country are part of the problem.

um hello?

trump -is- 'corporate america' trying to seize control of the nation...

'trumpist' is only an attempted insult insofar as it is insulting to be associated with that person...

if i was putting 'party over country' i wouldn't be refusing to vote for the republican nominee if the republican party nominates trump...

the problem right now is people like you who are putting 'trump uber alles'

Well that's fine and cool, but then why would you want corporations to be made illegal?
Because corporations are granted personhood and as such, large ones tend to supersede the rights and dignity of real persons thru their ability to legislate laws on us thru lobbying. I don't think they benefit the public at large.

It's okay for you to be wrong even though you think it isn't. I won't hold it against you.

Could one say that perhaps you are moreso against Citizens United ruling rather than corporations as a whole then?

Not really...I just like early America's handling of corporations in that they had to prove that they were advancing the public good and that they were granted temporararily.

Lol it doesn't lady Rachel. The point is Cruz, Trump, Hillary, Bernie, even mine servant Kasich. They're all in the same boat. Wall Street is never popular in the elections, but it's always there.

So what if he is a corporate shark. He made choices he needed to make in the environment he needed to make them to make his business ventures a success.

in any case we have another example of the trumpist tendency of holding double standards...

heidi cruz worked for goldman sachs which makes ted cruz tainted by corporate corruption...
but trump was just doing what he needed to do to be successful and therefore is blameless...

you need to invest in better whitewash...

Blameless is your word. Never used it. You need to invest in a better putting words in someone else's mouth program. BTW...you never answered my question.....weren't you a Rubio supporter?

'blameless' is the word i chose for what is evidently your view of trump...

the fact is that you have yet to hold trump to account for -anything-...whenever anyone points out a fault in trump your reflexive response -every time- has been to make excuses...

if you don't hold him to be blameless then you sure have a strange habit of constantly trying to absolve him of blame...

regarding who i supported...i liked rubio...i also liked walker...and santorum...and perry...and fiorina...there was a point in this campaign where we had lots of good choices...any of which i would have been happy with...

Whats to hold him accountable for. He's already laid it all on the table. Do you want him to throw dirt on his head and beg for your forgiveness?
We're still finding out stuff about your candidates of choice.
