Trump 41%, Clinton 39%

[schwarzkopf]

no cruz is batshit insane. look at his track record. it's 100% pure tea party.

By definition 100% pure XXXXXX <- is not insane, you know exactly what you are going to get.

That's the point - Trump could literally do anything. He has no known behaviour.

technically yes. but from a rational viewpoint cruz's policies are insane from a metaphorical standpoint.

#MAGA can't wait to see Shillary destroyed by the Trump.

True - but if Cruz gets in, you know what is happening. I call Cruz the 'KFC mega meal' in your diet - you know the shit you are getting.

Trump is like eating some random thing you found on the street without bothering to check what it is.

It's funny cause while hillary might be a wall street shill, Trump is Wall street.

Dunno why people criticize hillary for being disconnected from the common man then support trump. hypocrites.

[apepi]

I will not vote. The people of my country want to see it burned? Go right ahead and dig your own grave.

[Mormolyce]

Dear America,

Please don't vote for Trump.

Sincerely,

The Rest of the World

Oh come on, we haven't had that good a laugh at America's expense since the last Republican President.

Like, seriously. She's a career politician. He was born a plutocrat.

He operates on the internet troll rationale, whereby as long as you keep pushing hot air out of your mouth, you haven't lost the debate.

[Kellhound]

That's a good idea.
An even better idea would be a system like my country, where you can vote for a third party and it actually matters.

Not voting, or voting blank, will favour Trump.
So it doesn't matter who you vote for; it matters more who you don't vote for.

I really do not like the two party system, I would prefer a 3-4 party system with direct election of both the president and the vice president (who should be the #2 vote getter).

In my state it really doesnt matter, one region dictates the entire outcome and I do not live in it. So my vote is wasted no matter who I vote for.

[Maconi]

Honestly I'm disillusioned/jaded with the whole election. I don't even care who wins anymore. I think most people in their 20s/30s feel similarly. Even if we had an awesome candidate somewhere out there, odds are they wouldn't be able to accomplish anything with our corrupt/lobbyist infected congress.

[Ninjavitis]

Just goes to show how equally stupid both candidates are.

[Talsar]

Trump is... a lying POS who is nothing but scandal after scandal.

Fixt
/10 char

[schwarzkopf]

I don't even care who wins anymore.

You should, Trump is destructive ... insane and a megalomaniac. You've never had a leader like that before in the US.

Clinton, Cruz etc might be your worst ever president - but Trump might be your LAST ever president.

Even a direct election for president is not going to bring in the 3rd and 4th parties. The only way that will happen is at congessional/senatorial level. Both are at FPTP systems which means even if you are far to the left/right you have to hold your nose and vote for the big party closer to your preference.

Will the US public even if the option was given change from the system they have to one where you don't have a representative to your region, instead congress is made up of % by national vote? I'd hope they would but likely wouldn't.

1Really? What would Hillary change for the worse?



Because I can name some for trump:

-Multi-billion dollar pointless construction projects
-Alienating US trade relations
-Inept foreign policy
-Condones torture
-anti civil-rights
-pro watch-list based on religion
-Condones religious discrimination


Yeah, sorry, Trump is far more than "rude."


You thinking that people don't like Trump because he's "sensationalist and rude" shows you have a very poor grasp of the situation.


If it comes down to Trump vs Hillary, I'm voting for Hillary. I can't condone any of those points that I mentioned about Trump.

1 Dont know what she would change for the worse, but i know a number of things that she wouldnt change for the better (pointless wars of aggression, arms deals etc)
And how could you truly know that anything she says she will do will actually be done? her allegiance changes with the wind!

Because I can name some for trump:

-Multi-billion dollar pointless construction projects
-Alienating US trade relations
-Inept foreign policy
-Condones torture
-anti civil-rights
-pro watch-list based on religion

What construction projects? anything on infrastructure isnt a waste and those multibillions of dollars are going to be paid to somebody, namely american workers, and that money could easily come from some of the arms contracts that im sure hillary would prefer to support

Trading with slavers is bad business as it undermines any ethical work locally! people trade with china as the chinese undercut everyone and treat their workers as less than slaves, as at least slavers would take care of their slaves as property. Also with less reliance on foreign companies more jobs could be brought back to the US, increasing employment, industry and entrepreneurship

If its a foreign policy that keeps the US out of the middle east and stops them antagonizing russia, then im all for it! hillary has bad relations with putin, putin at least respects trump somewhat, and we could expect alot more peace globally if the US and Russia cooperate

I disagree with supporting torture, but at least hes honest, Obama talks shit about closing Guantanamo, hows that going again? oh yeah he hasnt shut it down! Plausible deniability but he hasnt acted in oposition to it, i doubt very much that shillary would be any different!

What civil rights?

I believe that is in relation to immigrants? I cant honestly disagree with that sentiment, if you bomb a country and antagonize its terrorist groups, they invite your victims into your home and dont keep an eye open for them then you are ignorant and stupid. sure hes playing on hysteria, but its a warzone over there, something that america hasnt witnessed in their country in centuries


And what it comes back down to is that you are not supporting a candidate you actually agree with, you are voting strategically against one you disagree with! Do you understand that this is a lose lose situation unless you can actually change how politics are run? this is why US politics gets so heated! it brings out the worst because people vote against what they hate, not what they love and assume that anyone who doesnt vote the way they do love what they hate!

Here is a better system

I never said it was easy to do in the current system, just that I would prefer more viable parties.

When the Only two Choices are betwen a FLagrant Racist and Reality TV star has-been and a Corrupt Totalitarian Warhawk...

Bernie was the only good Candidate out of this lot and the establishment is doing everything they can to Pull the Rug out from underneath him-to the point of Blatant Sabotage.

It's not even subtle anymore.

When the Only two Choices are betwen a FLagrant Racist...

Who is a flagrant racist? Trump? Please point out one single thing he has said that is actually racist.

What - he said when Mexico sends it people they are not sending their best (which is correct). He says that Mexico sends rapists and muderers (he is correct.) Mexico is a country - Mexicans are NOT a race.

He said he wanted to ban all Muslims from immigrating to America TEMPORARILY, until ICE can improve the vetting system. Muslim is NOT a race.

So, please, link one single statement by Trump where he said "The white race is superior to..." Fact is, you can't. Fact is you calling him a flagrant racist is complete bullshit and totally inaccurate.

Nobody has yet to even substantiate this, considering violent crime among illegals is the lowest in the nation, and non violent crimes are comparable to all other Americans.
