Stop being ridiculous.
There is very littlw POTUS can do without the support of Congress.
You are referring to EO's . O hasn't used as many an several presidents.
EO's such as O's immigration EO can be over ridden very easily if Congress wanted to.

Glad to see you back Gramps but I gotta correct the record on Obama and use of EO's.

Technically he hasn't used as many EO's but he's used a record number (I believe) of Presidential Memoranda that have the same effect.

Basically, Team Obama wants everyone to think they haven't used as many EOs so they shifted what they used so the number of actual EOs seems smaller.

Combined, he's taken more executive actions than most presidents.

(kinda like changing the definition of deportations so they could claim they are deporting more than other presidents).

I wanted to vote for Kasich but figured it would be a wasted vote in Tennessee. If a candidate does not break 20%, he gets zero delegates. If polls are correct he won't get to 10%.
So I voted for Trump.

There were a lot of blue hairs in line at the polls sounding excited to vote for Trump.

I understand where you're coming from though. However, when neither candidate has anything to offer (say a Trump-Hillary match up) then the third party can be looked at.

When that fails, what recourse does one have? Vote for the lesser of two evils?

I have been following politics for a long time and I'm astonished at the multiple age groups and cross party support the man has

My experience over the years has taught me that males should be castrated very early in life. It is hard to tell what could be achieved without worrying about getting laid.

I think the relationship between Fox News and Trump shows just how divided the GOP is. I don't care what the polls say (I remember seeing polls telling me McCain was going to win), I don't see trump winning a general

Virginia: Clinton 49 Trump 38
RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - Virginia: Trump vs. Clinton

Iowa:Clinton 48 Trump 40
RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - Virginia: Trump vs. Clinton

Pennsylvania:Clinton 43 Trump 43
RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - Pennsylvania: Trump vs. Clinton

Clinton will win Nevada based on History and the amount of Hispanic voters in Nevada. She will win Pennsylvania based on minority turnout in urban areas. And the national polling tread leads in that direction. It will either be a narrow Clinton will Or Clinton blows Trump out.

I'm confused. You mean you agree about the divide, but not about trumps electability?

I mean the lack of enthusiasm for such a sorry candidate will back Trump into it like the 2007 Vols east.

Nobody is going to turn out for her. she's a loser.

It has to be a concern. A CNN poll yesterday showed Trump losing to Clinton 52-44, while Cruz and Rubio were running ahead of her. If people want to bank on turnout, that's fine, but it's a hell of a risk - especially when you consider congressional races.

For the past several months the Dem race and candidates have all been ignored by the media. Clinton has been shielded with Saturday debates and softball questions, hell she hasn't even been asked about her emails.

My guess is once the nominations are wrapped up the gloves will come off and the spotlight will be back on her. No, she will not face the same scrutiny that Trump will but so far she hasn't had to answer up for anything.

Like I've said. Trump scares the hell out minorities. So much that it will be easy for Clinton to turn out the vote in Urban areas. Areas in Virginia like Fairfax County, Newport News, Alexandria County, and Arlington Counties are the key to a Clinton win. She wins those counties and it will be a bellwether for the rest of the nation.

Black people will vote for her because Hillary will be race baiting until election day, trying to get out the black vote. But, they will not turn out to vote like they did in 2008 and 2012.

On the other hand, millions of democrats will vote for Trump.

Trump race baits. You just excuse it because he's your candidate. He tweeted out made up racial statistics about murder.

Educate yourself before you say stupid ****.
