    Pretty much this.

    All of those terrible things we hear about right now have always happened. There were axe maniacs, bombers and shooters before, it's just since 9/11 everyone went cuckoo about terrorism and somehow a 'religion-related knife attack' is more terrifying than any of the other knife attacks. Fear mongering by the media made us believe that for some reason all of our lives are suddenly in danger and that the western civilization is nearing its end - it's not. In Europe, there was always terrorism - ETA and IRA has the unspeakably greater bodycount than ISIL has and will have in a long time. That doesn't mean we should just shrug, of course, it just means that it's nothing new and the only reason we're constantly hearing about this is that it sells well. Headlines sell well. Murder has always been selling well, the only topic that used to be more popular was celebrity gossip. Now? Terrorism is the new fad, ufnortunately.

    You people really eat this shit up don't you? Nobody in this thread can honestly say, without resorting to "muh e-mails" or "muh flipflopping" why Hillary and her policy proposals are worse than Trump.

    But he totally killed it last night. The LGBTQ support and the words of his daughter to women were convincing. And will draw moderates to him. They are good things that will make people overlook the things they do not like. If he keeps this up...
    His VP choice spent time in his political career fighting against LGBT rights....why would any sane LGBT person vote for him? What his daughter has to say about women has no bearing on his opinion of women. We've heard the nasty comments he's made, he has no respect for women.
    I'm a thread killer.

    At this point I don't even care anymore. Fuck it, have Trump be our next president. I am curious to see what he's going to do and how he'll follow up on his retarded motto. Let me see this huge wall built and the Mexicans paying for it. I am actually curious to see how everything will go when Trump is president. I mainly want him to break and have people see he has no idea what he is going to do to "make America great again". That he is all talk and no walk. What are his genius plans for the shit going on with ISIS and the rest of the middle east? "We're going to build a big wall around them and make them pay for it!" I want him to humiliate himself. But hey, who knows maybe I'm wrong maybe he really will make America great again.

    I really don't like Trump, I was for Bernie, but at least he's not giving away top secret, classified information to who knows who and being caught lying about it. Of course though I'm voting for neither Hillary or Donald. I'm not going to be forced to vote between a rich moron and a lying, corrupt politician. I'm sitting back with my bag of popcorn and watching this circus of a show unfold.

    They don't. But since Brexit I know the power of stupid myself. Trump will win the US presidency just the same way Pro-Brexit politicians won their fight. They'll lie and promise you stuff but will never deliver and then resign when they reached their goal.

    If Trump does win I'll be interested to see what the spin will be when he fails to delivery on a single campaign promise. Unfortunately the right's obsession with attacking Obama will leave them in an awkward spot if they turn a blind eye to Trump doing the same things wrong Obama did.

    Yeah I could totally see them doing that too and pulling out every shitty excuse from their ass they can think of. Or even better doing worse than Obama. I'd love to see them defend him then.

    The demographics and likelihood to vote are far different for the UK vs the US. It means that millennials are politically much more powerful in the US than the UK meaning that the UK's 52/48 leave/remain would equate to a 48/52 leave/remain in the US.

    Trump is almost certain to lose. It would require a good republican candidate vs a poor democratic candidate for republicans to win. In a generic bad/bad match up democrats will always win due to those demographic advantages. Oh and don't take what you see on these boards as being representative of America. Its not. America isn't constituted solely of white male gamers between the ages of 20 and 55.

    Yeah. That's your opinion and how you respond to the situation. However it's foolish to think that's everyone's perception. This isn't about convincing those on the opposite side. Winning the electing is about drawing people who are on the fence, to your side. And according to the polls, Trump isn't doing bad. In the end he doesn't have to convince people he's pro-women and pro-LGBT. He just has to convince people in doubt on it that he'll not be as bad as they thought.

    Bernie Sanders supporters are not going to accept the establishment. The establishment on the Republican side lost, so they shifted their weight to the establishment on the Democratic side.

    The blood bath of the establishment will continue with Nov. Brexit was only the start of the shifting paradigm of the world.

    Never said she was worse then Trump or better, but look at her sponsors she is representing everything Bernie is against, If americans had any balls they would vote third party and if Bernie had any balls he would run third party but he instead sold out.
    But as it is America will vote for one of 2 bad candidates.
