The mental tools of Trumps art of persuasion

http://youtu.be/9LR6EA91zLo

You're correct and here is a fine example of "Trumps tools of persuasion" from Scott Adams, very revealing. Some on the right need to ignore the fact
he's on Bill Maher and listen to what Scott points out.

You write in your name you know you have my vote my friend...

Are we sheep or more dogs on a leash, how do we cut the strings, to find the representatives that that will not forsake his duty to the people and reject the grasp of the golden carrot while in office or position.

What I have found interesting is when I went to Linda's site it was also informative in other ways, first one can check all the rep's. and see the bills each have submitted towards the benefits of the veterans, you will see the majority of reps with the most amount of bills to help our vets clearly came from D's, now I'm not making this up these ate the numbers and anyone can go back and take a look. One of the people with the most success rate was rep. Daniel Akaka he had 167 bills out of all those only 10 got past. That is a good example of the chances you have for the bill you present to be passed. He left btw in2012.

Therefore to blame Sanders for doing a poor job or not caring because people didn't vote on it, is basically misleading which is not on you.

and they have the...to cal liberals liars.

Yes Peter this is completely true and shows the true intention of the party, winning by cheating and I am from one of the states that have been hijacked by them doing so and the party is now running roughshod over the state as we've witnessed with hb2.

Just stop it, with your bullshit about me and simply stay on topic this is not about me. You want to blame the president, bs... and in reality nothing gets resolved pointing fingers and blaming. No congress doesn't run the veterans affairs administration but it is chaired by who is in the majority of the senate which happens to be the republicans for the past two years, so what's your excuse now?

How did I allude to Dem's fighting for their policies, Republicans are in the majority of the house and senate for the past two years and aside from woman's rights which policies are you referring to?

This is within a 30 year time span but of course your sleight of hand you simply declare it bullshit. The site I chose was one supported by vets, and the other by the white house/gov and not what was considered left sided propaganda. It appears you didn't read my post on the numbers of the improved conditions for vets. Are these numbers lies? If so show me. My husband had served as many in my family and I am aware of how the system works and you're wrong I do care very much. I also believe Sanders does also.

I have recently learned that some states have passed laws stating no vet will be homeless. Now how to make this a reality we will wait and see, but I assure you I would support any and all improvements to our vets, it is absolutely shameful the support that has not been received especially for the mental disorders. My husband and I now have our own business and work with the military as subcontractors, we live between two military huge bases, most of our friends are still enlisted, retired or subcontractors also. So you are mistaken. I was also a registered republican for almost 25 years, Bush changed that for me, I now consider myself independent and don't believe in the party system, it's a complete manipulation. One more thing not all who serve are republicans and yes we all love this country.

What seems most apparent is that both sides...congress is not doing enough.
We get disgusted not of Americans with their party affiliation(lets face it the people have little to do with it) but over the corrupt representatives being bought and sold.

Where you and I are probably most different is that I would not support a civil war, I would favor ways to cut out the corruption.

In the last two and a half years ago, we were stuck in a system that was fundamentally failing to deliver Veterans the benefits that they had earned. Over 610,000 disability claims were stuck in a backlog.

Today, the backlog stands at approximately 76,000 disability claims, which is an 88 percent reduction from its peak in March 2013 and an historic low. This past fiscal year, VA completed a record-breaking 1.4 million claims. Today, Veterans with a pending claim are waiting, on average, 188 days less for a claim decision, from a peak of 282 days in March 2013 to 94 days today. And VA has done all of this without sacrificing quality or accuracy, with 96 percent of issues on a claim being accurately adjudicated.

A panty wringing? Ok you say that because I'm a woman, lets just let that go...but where did I hide behind big brother?

Very well, I will have to do some back tracking to why I responded as I did. Yes I did post that about the republicans, most probably to counter balance an accusation of the fault being entirely of the left, as I say I have to go back.

To clear some things up, I am not happy with any one candidate from what we're left to choose from, and I know I'm not alone in that. It is reprehensible how out of the estimated twenty or so candidates on the republican side and we're left with Trump as our possible leader, on the
complete opposite end it is just as deplorable that if Bernie had campaigned as an independent there would be a "choice " of one which by default it would also include a "choice " of one in the democratic party. Now I realize many here have a deep hatred of the president in their beliefs of him and feel everything that has gone wrong with the country is due to him. I am not of this belief simply due to the fact that's not how things work we are not under a dictatorship. I am not a fan of his nor do I do not hate him, I am neutral and feel his position deserves respect. I am prone to put the blame more is congress and our elective representatives.
