  2. "Instability will continue for decades in many parts of the world...some of these places may become safe havens for new terrorist organizations...feeding the next wave of refugees. The world will look at us to solve these problems...we can't try to rebuild every country...thats a recipe for quagmire..."

    I HIGHLY AGREE WITH THIS!! This is why we failed in Vietnam and Iraq. We don't need this to happen again!!

    2. I was just about to post this! It's one of my favorite lines that he said. Many Americans believe that low-income families are sucking up all the country's money by providing them with financial assistance when in reality it is the top 1% and greedy business men that are stealing most of the country's money. I promise you that if many families had enough income to afford a sufficient amount of food to eat, they would not take food stamps.

    1. I loved this!! It was so simple, yet it really nailed down why voting for Trump is wrong.

    2. Yes! I'd have to agree with Diana that this sentence was the core of Trump's candidacy. We should all be able to distinguish how politics is being portrayed

    1. I definitely agree with this, like President Obama said later on in his speech."There are outdated regulations in the government and politics that need to be changed".

  13. '' We need to reject any politics that targets people because of thier race or religion. This isn't a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of understanding what's makes us strong''.
