Very pragmatic answers by one of the founders of KISS. :thumbup:
Q:
A lot of people are unhappy, perhaps rightfully so. But the Dow Jones Industrial (Average is) 26,0000 or so, job rates are down to 3.9%, the economy is booming like never before. The rest of it — politics. You like the guy, vote him back in. You don't like guy, just make sure nobody votes him back in. My assessment is very clear, unless he's impeached, if there are no more big wars and if the Dow approaches 29,000, which it may, not only will President Trump be re-elected but it'll be a landslide.
Q:
Not if you have a problem with him socially and politically and stuff like that. But either you approach a country like a business or not because families only care about two things: Is my family safe? Which means war, police, things like that. And can I feed my family? Do I have a job? Am I getting paid well? The rest is politics. If you're going to after President Trump for having an affair, you have to go all the way to George Washington and (Justin) Trudeau's father, everybody. You have to go after men. The tendency to wander.
Well, that's nice...but the meanderings of a bass guitar (not even a real musician) hardly merit reporting in the news.

At least Gene Simmons was asked about politics..
Too many entertainers think we actually want their opinions without being asked.

More like daylight savings time. Right twice a year.

I remember hearing a statistic (can't find it on the web) but since world war 2, every president outside of a time of war with a good economy has been re-elected. Trump may be the first not to be. the lying press hates him and are running campaign commercials against him 24/7 and the entertainment industry all hate him. That could be difficult to overcome.
Who will win? someone doing an objectively excellent job or lies and deceit We'll see.

These are different times. Progs control everything. Success no longer means much. Rich progs won't accept an elected president who is not one of them.
That may be so, but rich and poor progs have a small complication...they only get one vote, like the rest of us.
They may make a lot of noise, but who really listens?
There are a lot of bonkers / lame minded people out there today ... plus the press works 24/7 to convert and ignite them
So far, the noise is working
That judgment cannot be made until the next election. The noise may be getting a lot of press, but does it reach into the ballot box?

Eggs ackly.
I still maintain you overestimate the left's influence, by assuming that the most noise gets the most respect.
Voters make up their own mind during the election.
Bear in mind that they have to find a candidate to run against Trump, and that will be in itself and clusterfuck.
