I and other Canadians aren't jealous of the US. We just care about you too much. You guys are our friends and neighbours and a sick-load of really cool people. We just don't want to see you get hurt.
*LOVE* is what it is, I tell yeah what!

I just looked at that...dude wake up! President Obama's "promises" in his first campaign were not kept. He didn't even TRY during the first 2 years. He sat on his ass and basically took orders from Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

Not true. Here's the full list:

I disagree. He reduced the US from the recession, killed Osama Bin Laden. Dropped almost $800 Billion to spur economic growth during the great recession, etc. He also supported the LGBT Community for marriage equality which is really important to a lot of people too. He reduced the Veteran Homeless rate, increased fuel economy standards on cars, Expanded embryonic stem cell research, etc. These are all pretty important.

Well I can think of one promise..
And he also promised to raise tax on the rich, he didn't. He promised to release his tax returns, he didn't.

Ok maybe, I can give you that. But is Trump really a republican?
And sure, ok, Paul Ryan was a dud. But he was also a dud during Obama. So, I'll meet you half-way on that.

Is there a new healthcare bill to replace Obamacare?

I promise you that you are not wasting your breath on me. As you can see, I am reading everything you are saying, and I am agreeing with you in some (minor) points.

True, and actually, good for him. Our (my?) problem with the Border wall is that it seems like a very very expensive "fix" for a problem that may not be as bad, or that could be fixed in other ways that cost less.
Libbies like me think that migrants should be treated with compassion and helped, while securing the border at the same time. So if anything, I am 50% on your side on this.

Trump can promise whatever he wants, but it has to be legal. If a Judge says something is illegal, then its illegal. No one, not even the president, should be above the law, right?

The economy is in good shape yes, and the job numbers are way up, yes. But other things are in trouble. The environment, hate groups, education, womens rights, etc, all need attention too.
