O/T My DH and the Election

oneoffour's picture

Well for the next few months I doubt I will be spending much TV time with my Darling DH. He is a conservative and so am I. We both like Fox News, I am probably little more skeptical but that's the way we roll. Don't judge us. Now read on...
I am not a Trump supporter. I think he is a bore and a bully and exaggerates things enough to get the USA into serious trouble. This is just my opinion. But every single time the TV is on it is Fox News. He thrives on this stuff like his mother. And I am going to go insane with the election coverage. Now if this is every 4 yrs I can live with it. But it is every 2 yrs in one way or another. I am going to go insane or start drinking a LOT. Because Mr PassiveAggressive will change the channel on the TV "just to make you happy". ARRRGGGHHH.
All I want is some downtime away from the hype. Just a little. Just a couple days/ evenings a week where I don't have to a) listen to Trump b) listen to DH go on about the opposition. I think I need Xanax. Does it come in pill form that can be put in wine?

Vent over.

I think I am going to cancel cable. I hate all of the candidates still in the race.

Hillary and Trump are both way too old. They are both my age. I understand first hand why they are both too damn old.

Fox news has become the Trump superpac of late. Cult of personality just like Obama supporters.

Newsmax is a much better channel. All the alphabet soup media, ABC, CBS, NBC, are synchophants for Hill.

I don't agree with Bernie's politics but at least he's honest. I've had too many Russian and eastern Euro friends who have actually lived under Lenin/Stalin "democratic socialism"

just like nascar!!!

and if they win a primary, they'll have to swap out 18 different ball caps while they give their pat-on-the-back speech!!

This is my life also! Grrrr. EVERY freaking evening my DH listens to talk radio starting at 5 and ending at 7 or later. Drives me up the wall. I will be so glad when this is all over.

And the sad thing is … I really dislike Trump. I cannot express how much. I am very conservative but this man is just SO out there. BUUUT..if he wins the nomination I will vote for him over Clinton or Sanders. I may have to stab myself in the eye but I will vote for him.

I was a Carson supporter also. It just broke my heart when he backed Trump.

this is yet another reason i dont vote. usually there's no one to really support, just picking the lesser of the evils, who you/i think might to the least amount of damage.

I wouldn't mind a President Mark Levin, personally. Too bad someone won't do something about the ultimate wealth redistribution scheme: CS.

I wish for the skids to move to the 4 corners of the earth. IMO, PigPen will drop out of high school at 16 and find him some moron a zillion miles away and fall off the face of the earth. As soon as that happens, the earth can swallow BioHo.

Hilary has already served 2 terms. She was the one wearing the pants, while he was removing them.

Trump is an ass. But is not afraid to tell it like it is.

Sanders is old.

Cruz is a liar.

I vote for Mickey Mouse.

Trump isn't telling like it is. He's just saying what he thinks people want to hear. If that means attacking others on race, gender, religion....that's what he will do. I hope the cameras are rolling when that dog whistle gets lodged firmly in his throat
