They're both awful. They're both lying crooks. I don't trust either one of them to really do right by this country, anyone that does is an idiot.
I really don't want to vote (for president) and still might not.
That said... I've finally excepted that I can't vote for Donald Trump. The man lacks any sens of decorum or dignity. I do not trust someone who is apparently incapable of controlling their mouth or their actions for even a brief moment. Someone like that has no business being at the helm of our government or our military.
Can I vote for Hillary? I don't think so, but I'm not sure. Voting for someone I don't believe in because I don't like the other guy runs contrary to my beliefs.
She's vile and despicable -- and still far better than the alternative. Don't like it? Blame it on retarded Republican primary voters. Basically, they could have put nearly any warm body up against Hillary, who is justifiably one of the most hated politicians in America, and Republicans would have won. Instead, the dummies nominate the one guy who is even worse than Hillary, handing that troll the whitehouse, letting her nominate at least one and maybe several supreme court justices.
I'm in CA so Hillary will win by a landslide regardless, so I might vote LIbertarian. I just know Trump has to lose
^^^ Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, all could have slaughtered Hillary. I personally like Romney as a Dem.
So @Mikey what aspect of Wikileaks bothers you the most? Does it bother you that the Russians are likely manipulating our election? No, not following Wiki very closely.
You're wrong w.r.t. your tittle - I think it's obvious she and slick-Willy do care very much about making themselves wealthy all pretty-much based on their "public service" career.
Anyone who calls liberals "libtards" has no credibility to either educated liberals or conservatives. Name calling is the last resort of the morally bankrupt. Come on Mike; you're smarter than that.
Half the population will be upset no matter who wins. It's a lose lose scenario.
Let's just hope the republicans keep control of the house or there will be no stopping Hillary. I expect an economic downturn with both candidates, a race to the bottom. Hillary has the wrong kind of experience messing up everything she touches and trump is in the same boat but thinks he knows what to do. Hillary is an expert lair and knows how to get rid of people with evidence. She repeatedly says you won't find evidence. Trump is either in Kahoots with her and the whole election was rigged for Hillary or he's so stupid he doesn't know when to shut up and discuss issues and policies instead of the latest insult against him.
If trump could have just talked about how his policies will revive coal jobs while hillaries will increase the utility bill of almost every American by making us all pay more by eliminating the cheapest source of energy we have been using for decades hurting the poorest and middle class more than the rich, it's like a hidden regressive tax on the poor and middle class.
She says her goal is no new taxes on the middle class in public but in private she says she is ok with adding taxes on guns, ammo, sugar in your drinks, etc, all taxes that hit theropod and middle class. It must be all a joke to Hillary. She wants to ban all guns and has said so that if she could she would, next up will be people's retirement accounts and anywhere else you have money because if you aren't poor, you are rich with a socialist system.
If republicans keep the house, she may start off trying to negotiate. I gave up on the chance trump might win. The only way I see that is if almost everyone stays home except for all the trump supporters.
I read on another sight that two or three years ago Hillary was in favor of open borders I. The Americas just like Europe has. Drug cartels from Mexico, criminals etc would all be able to freely travel to the us and back. Hillary thinks open borders is a great idea. It has worked so well for Europe with Syrians and refugees flooding all over. Minus the extra crime and terrorism.
Trump doesn't know how to say if someone accuses him of something, let the courts settle the nonsense, no one filed any case though against him. At least I know what trump is thinking, he's not an expert liar like Hilary.
If the clintons talked trump into running, they did a brilliant con on the whole election and our democracy. I'm still giving it 50% chance they did. That would be like tails I win, heads you lose for the clintons.
Half the public will be upset but life will go on. We'll keep visiting strip clubs. Hopefully.
Not at all, mikeya02, you deny that he has cheated and probably has killed businesses employing many people ?? Get a brain, my friend. Trump is a fucking asshole. You are retarded.
Yeah, after whining, oh my god, has that asshole been whining throughout this debate, I would be happy to shoot that whining fool after he loses the election. Not kill him, I want to see that dickbreath suffer.
I'm all for guns, but the NRA is a gun lobby for gun manufacturers, plain and simple. So follow the money. I agree. Buy guns. Invest in gun companies. Both options are great advice. :) The NRA is not for the gun owner, IMO. Gun advocates are pawns being lied to and manipulated. Sorry, but true. Take the blinders off, conservatives. :)
I have a hard time getting behind Mr. Trump. Plus the GOP needs to sign some common sense immigration legislature. Many of the Latin American immigrants are natural GOP supporter -- hard working, immigrants, all for Traditional Marriage and religion. So the line that immigrants == liberals on the 'dole and welfare is probably not accurate. Many could be natural GOP supporters, but instead, Mr. Trump takes the hard line. Odd.
And personally, I just can no longer get behind social conservationism, at least not forcing one's social views on another. If that means adopting Clinton and her fiscal policies, so be it. It's not my first choice.
Older guys: can we still afford medicare and social security entitlements? Why is it OK for old guys to be on the dole but not poor people? Aren't handouts, handouts?
Also want about corporate entitlements?
Trickle down just feels like urination on the lower castes.
Mikeya, I'm voting for the other camp and if you want to bitch slap me, bro- two words: Self Defense.
Seriously, you have the right to call me whatever the fuck you want but your rights end at the next persons nose. Try to take away their rights to vote or express themselves by threats and you totally lose my respect... and time and time again this election I have seen the theme out of Mr. Trump that it is okay to strong arm people to get what you want, to bilk your way out of paying contracts, to cheat and scam your way to the top. So in a way I find it hard to choose who I feel is the lesser of two evils, Senator Clinton.
And dammit, what we're being asked here is "Do I shoot myself in the right gonad or the left testicle" :(
Dominic us old guys are not on the dole, we paid into Social Security and Medicare all of our lives, That is our money that was withheld from our paychecks, and it must be paid back.
Don't make this a generational warfare issue, it certainly is not welfare, it is an entitlement, because the money was taken from us.
RE: wikileaks and emails: I guess we're just getting a glimpse of how the "sausage is made" in politics. If you want mikey, you'll let you read my emails. Maybe we can also talk about "cheating" Mr. Trump and his undisclosed tax returns. What is he hiding? And is a cheat and a "military service dodger" more earning of our trust than Mrs. Clinton? As people, they both suck. I don't always agree with Secretary Clinton ... but she's reasonable and smart.
But still, these debates are a "whole lotta stupid" crammed into an hour and a half. Ugh.
Twenty-five I just want to make sure you justify it. If we're talking entitlements ... then everything is fair game. For the record, I agree with you. I just want to make sure you guy understand that and understand why gov't is so big. For the record, I don't have a problem with it. I also expect to pay into this pyramid scheme and I don't expect to ever collect a dime. But I have no issue with you guys collecting the $$ I pay in.
Just leave some frickin' high paying jobs for us gen Xers, will ya! ;)
I also have no issue with welfare ... as long as people get off it it. Welfare kings and welfare queens do suck. But social safety nets are nice. At least until savings rates improve and people can largely self-fund their OWN safety nets. That's the best solution. (that's assuming reasonable behavior and people living within their means and spending responsibly, of course.
Mr. txtittyfag, There are lazy and stupid people, for sure, who take advantage of the social safety nets. But there are a lot of good, honest people who do work hard, pay into the system, but have a rough patch and can use the safety nets from time to time. There are some honest people who fall into that.
I figure myself more of a moderate or a centralist, than a leftist. I voted for Dole and Bush. I prefer fiscal conservatism and have been registered GOP since 18 and have all of the GOP souvenirs from the shop when we went to /Washinton DC for 12th grade government class. I just can't tolerate a government getting in my business, that's that social conservatism is, to me. Big Government getting in my business.
Most of my leftist stance, if I have one, is one women's issues. Quite frankly the GOP stance on women's issues makes me want to throw up.
For the NRA. Look at their stance on the "assault rifles." I'm not saying assault rifles are bad nor are they that great. But the manufacturers make hellava lot of dough selling assault rifles and modifications, upgrades, etc for those rifles. Follow the money. Most of the gun violence seems to follow handguns anyway. But not even the NRA mentions that. People because the margins on hand guns and hand gun modification are not as good as ARs. Just saying. No one's taking away the 2nd Amendment. Y'all being lied to.
Dominic i don't really care about the politics of it, but you cannot call Social Security and (or) Medicare a handout, it is a return on our investment, if you need to call it anything, and a forced investment at that. Absolutely nothing to justify and its not fair game, if you are trying to modify the contract after i has been paid for.
Dont blame us "libtards" mikey all you clowns had to do was put up a decent candidate like kasich or Rubio and they could have probably beat her. But instead you allowed your party to be highjacked by some moron talking about sending all the mexicans back and building a wall..LOL And it doesn't bother you that vladimer is behind wkiileaks?
If I were an NRA/gun guy I'd vote for the Democrats every time. No one has sold more guns than Obama. If a Republican is ever elected again for president, gun sales would plummet.
Note: Trump tax returns. He doesn't want to show them because he's always been elusive to how much money he makes / or how much he's worth.
If he found out a way to dodge taxes like he's eluded, he could have used that to his advantage, but at the same time many wealthy supporters possibly using similar tax tactics would not be happy.
Howard Stern has always hid his wealth because he doesn't want his listeners to know how wealthy he is. I always assumed trump doesn't want his returns out there because he didn't want to show he's not "as" wealthy as people think. He may only be worth $700 million instead of $6 billion.
Bill Clinton is the President that said that "welfare is not a way of life, it is a means to survive while pursuing a way of life". He called it Welfare to Work and placed limits on it.
Social Security is not an entitlement. I paid 6% of my annual wages into this government forced retirement savings program and another 12% of my wages while self-employed. I deserve a return on my forced investment.
Trump is a loud mouthed, thin skinned ignoramus, Jill Stein a common thug, Gary Johnson a dope and Hillary is simply a vile, despicable, criminal. America is done and we fucking deserve it. A nation divided against itself cannot stand -Abraham Lincon. All y'all in your pathetic little "communities"? He was talking about you assholes.
To pensionking
"Social Security is not an entitlement. I paid 6% of my annual wages into this government forced retirement savings program and another 12% of my wages while self-employed. I deserve a return on my forced investment."
That's why Social Security is an entitlement- you are entitled to it it has been earned.

@Rockstar, you're right. I should not sink to the level of Hillary just because she calls people *deplorable*
