A response to Left Feeling Betrayed
I read your article multiple times with an open mind and I was not surprised the article was devoid of facts. It dealt with innuendo, party affiliation, hatred of Trump and a delusional view of the Democratic Party. Your call to elect Democrats to protect us was the most misstated and egregious statement in the article.
I could easily rebut your entire article, but let me concentrate on your clarion call to elect Democrats to protect us. Unless you are so biased and party affiliated that facts don’t matter, allow me to paint a fact picture of the Clinton/Obama years.
1. Bill Clinton signed and Hillary supported NAFTA, an agreement that ripped the heart out of good manufacturing jobs — Trump strongly opposed NAFTA.
2. Hillary and Obama invaded the sovereign country of Libya without provocation. A country once the jewel of the Mideast now in ruins.
3. Eric Holder and Obama administered a program called “Fast and Furious” — this programs gave guns to the Mexican cartel — not much protection for Brian Terry (border agent) killed in 2010.
4. Your attack on Trump aligning us with brutal countries. Secretary of State John Kerry and Obama gave Iran access to over $100 billion. Both Kerry and Obama admitted Iran would likely use the money to fund terrorism.
5. Hillary and Obama were allegedly involved in gun running to jihadists in Syria from the port of Benghazi. Benghazi culminated in the death of four Americans and a fabricated story of a Muslim movie as its cause.
6. Obama outright lied repeatedly about health care. He ignored veterans’ health care problems. I didn’t save $2,400 a year in health care costs, how about you?
7. Obama’s unwillingness to support Christianity was one of his calling cards. He covered religious symbols as he spoke at Notre Dame and he unnecessarily attacked Little Sisters of the Poor over contraception. He lost his case at the Supreme Court level.
8. Obama created the largest deficit spending program in the history of America. More than all other presidents combined. His reckless spending programs proved to be an attack on the value of the dollar.
Let me conclude: So the Democrats are going to protect our jobs — nope; protect the rule of law — nope; protect the value of the dollar — nope; and many other nopes like not protecting children because of Democratic support for late-term abortion and infanticide.
To mistakenly conclude electing a Democrat is going to protect you, methinks you need to think about making America great again!

We are fundamentally divided at this point. I hate evil, and there's much more evil among the Democrats, than there is the Republicans. But, hey, my sights are beyond the here and now under the sun.
It's sad for our country that people like you are so desperately in denial over your huge mistake in the voting booth. MAGA is a delusion & you're to stubbornly ignorant to you're part if the farce. Your president gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Putin and Kim Jong Un got there money's worth. Sleep well treasonous trumpbot
Imagine if there wasn't so much hate for our President...
And you people worry about Russia?
“...and then say there is so much hate.” Fake News media 95% of the time continues an endless cycle of blasphemy. A $35M Mueller investigation lasted over two years. Democrats will not lift a finger to assist Trump no matter how much their inaction damages America. Some clamor for impeachment without a crime because they don’t like Trump. Some even boycotted his inauguration out of hatred. Trump Derangement Syndrome, a form of mental illness that you are very familiar with Joe, has caused irrational hatred to be put on full display.
You wonder why President Trump is hated. You are a low intellect hater that is rendered useless by your hatred. How can you hate someone that you never even met? How can you ignore everything that has been accomplished? You ignore every positive and magnify every negative. You readily use fake information. You are willfully ignorant and deny any accomplishments. You hate what you think Trump represents out of your own narrow-mindset. America is great because of President Trump. You are too pig-headed to understand. Trump is popular, in spite of you haters that are unable and unwilling to understand. I don’t hate Trump because you or CNN think I should. I think Trump is great in spite of you, your ignorance, and your hatefulness. Trump 2020. We are watching the gestation of the greatest President in our lifetime. You are too blinded by hatred.
World Wide... his approval rating just went up another 16 percentage points! Ha Ha Ha
Have a good day Joe.
2) Libya – you mean the socialist country headed by a terrorist dictator who was responsible for the bombing of Pan Am 103, that Libya? And when was the war – I seem to have missed it.
3) Fast and Furious was a failed effort by the Phoenix ATF to limit straw purchases of weapons by a drug cartel. Darryl Issa, that misguided car thief who got elected to Congress, blew it up as some sort of scheme devised by Obama. Issa was a tool.
4) Yes, the US returned money to Iran that had been frozen for years and consisted mostly of debt. So what – it was their money. The US gave them nothing they did not already own.
5) Benghazi? Give me a break. After 11 investigations you can’t even scrape up an indictment.
6) Obama didn’t make it impossible for you to keep your doctor – the insurance companies did. Get the facts straight. And the savings were predicted based on the rates of premium increases we were seeing before the bill was passed. A failed prediction is not a lie.
7) Obama attended church services regularly while he was president. Donald sleeps in every Sunday that he’s not golfing (which is most Sunday, by the way).
Someday you fundies are going to come to the realization that folks are going to engage in sexual intercourse with or without the permission of their government or their churches. By the way, Christian churches all teach us "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
8) During Obama's terms, there was less federal income than usual. The recession and the Bush tax cuts reduced tax receipts. At the same time, the cost of Social Security, Medicare, and other mandatory programs continued to increase. Then there was the Recovery bill Bush pushed through just before he left. You're laying that at Obama's feet as well, I suppose. Then again, you probably regard Laffer as a genius.
