Ok, I gotcha. I should have been a little more clear that for me its less "My vote will make a difference!" than "I don't know what else to do." As I mentioned in a following post, if the race is close my vote will likely go to Clinton. I am certainly not a fan of her, but given that its realistically Clinton or Trump, Clinton is the basket I'd want my eggs in.
I believe I mentioned earlier in this thread that I feel Bernie got a raw draw, he was the right candidate/wrong election. Even before the primaries got going I just got the sense that it was always going to be Clinton. This is HER election and she WILL be the first woman president and that's FINAL. Bernie simply got in the way of the Clinton Political Machine. That he hung on as long as he did is impressive on its own, its just irritating that he was treated (outside his supporters) largely as a road obstruction than a contributor to political dialogue.
They don't, it was just supposed to make her nervous. Trump doesn't have any actual way of winning a debate against her, so he has to do stunts like this.
It's the equivalent of making funny faces at someone you're in a staring contest with, or the people who jump up and down and sporting events thinking that it will make the opponent miss.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Well, it probably isn't doing him any favors with women, but it might appeal to some of his voters who believe that it's the wife's responsibility to make sure her husband never wants to cheat in the first place. Note that they do not share the same view about a husband being responsible for his wife's indiscretions.
Yeah, but those are the people I mentioned earlier who will support him no matter what...so ultimately it's a pointless tactic. Hillary certainly didn't seem too phased by it, probably in part because, oh I don't know, she's been dealing with it already for nearly 20 years?
The real reason is simple: Trump is all about glitz, glitter and showmanship. He's about the "gotcha" moments and the smoke and mirrors that he hopes will keep everyone distracted from the fact that he has NO idea what he's doing.
No, she didn't. One of the accusers even described how overly nice she was, to imply Hillary was a willing participant. The biggest thing they bring up in how Hillary admonished them, was from her friend's private letters, released after her friend's death. Hillary did not publicly do what you are accusing her of. But.....
Here is Trump calling Paula Jones a loser and a liar on national television:

You should need to explain to me. You can't make a blanket statement, pointing to an overarching institution as failing, and then follow it up with the time tested explanation of: Well, just look.
Yes, things are difficult for many people right now. They've been worse. 175 years ago we had slavery in this country. Now, a person who was considered 3/5ths of an individual by the Founding Fathers is President of the United States. We've moved so far in so many directions I don't think many of you realize how bad it was only 50 years ago in this country.
Yes, this is a low point in the last decade, largely caused by the Finance Sector tanking the whole fucking economy because they were incredibly greedy and incredibly dangerous. That is not a failure of democracy as a whole though.
