Stop doing the robo-vote thing. Open your eyes. 90%+ Democratic vote has gotten the black community absolutely nowhere. This man will bring sorely needed jobs back to this country. He's fighting the Globalist forces that are ripping this country apart and he needs your help.

The Globalists lose America and they are done. They will pull out all the stops to fight against him and you are seeing that now. They can't very well say cutting off job competition from illegal immigration and stopping unfair trade practices that suck jobs out of this country will be bad for Americans, they would be ridiculed as idiots so they cry out racist, its their only hope to get the Globalist Hillary elected. Don't be fooled. The only thing she cares about is power she doesn't give a damn about the people of this country.
his business history contradicts everything you said he would do..


As a businessman he does what he needs to do which is what is best for his company.

As President he will make sure our first priority is doing what's best for the citizens of this country. It's the whole premise of his campaign. Different focus.

It's the reason why the Crony Capitalist Republicans fought so hard against him. They have a lot to lose. As does everyone involved in the free trade open / borders crowd. He's done everything he wanted to do in the field of business and now he wants to give back. You can believe him or not I can understand it's hard to trust anyone nowadays. It seems like no one gives a damn. With the present course the country is being gutted. We need something different.

This isn't some asswipe saying voodoo economics, like what we usually get from politicians. He's talking about better trade agreements so countries don't take advantage of us sucking jobs out of the U.S., doing something to stop illegal immigration so more jobs are available for Americans at better wages and ending visa abuse where companies bring in foreign workers many times replacing American workers permanently.

He also prefers a more hands off approach regarding military intervention. Haven't we had enough of the endless wars? We can use that money at home.

He's also the only one taking on the medical field. He wants to...
7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.

It's absolutely obscene that our own drug companies gouge the U.S. customers. No one else talks about it because they are bought and paid for by the pharmaceuticals. It's a proposal that will lower healthcare costs.


Your politics and desire for a politician who will implement your point of view is all you have.

What kind of fantasy is this that Trump will executive YOUR VISION? Because it is your vision, just like every other Trump supporter we've seen say what they want to happen.

Trump is an idiot. You project your beliefs onto this empty shell and claim he is the answer.

I'm not even interested in Trump supporter's viewpoints any more simply because it has become very clear they are a breed of people who simply claim somebody as their candidate and then very stridently pronounce that candidate will do X, Y & Z.

It is all fantasy. Trump is not competent. Go ahead and ignore all of the information many insiders keep providing about his inability to take counsel and make rational decisions.

The Trump trait of lying out loud continues with Melania. These guys are nuts. Of course, they will blame the speechwriters now.

Chris Matthews proposing the speechwriter did this as a clear act of sabotage. Plausible theory considering how outrageously obvious the plagiarism is.

I agree. I mean..she has her faults but I find it infuriating that some Bernie supporters want to vote for a third party candidate. I wish our political system was a multi party system but that's not the case so a vote for a third party candidate is effectively a vote for Trump, especially if it's for Jill Stein.


So infuriating that you can't respond directly to them, eh?

A vote for a candidate is always a vote for that candidate. I laid it out pretty clear that my vote for her would be conditional on a confidently projected Clinton win in my state.


Which is why I actually didn't have a big problem with your post, although I would be wary of polls, especially in a unique election like this one where pollsters are not sure what the turnout will look like. The point I made about Jill Stein was to differentiate that a vote for Stein would be taking away a vote from Hillary for sure whereas a vote for Johnson would be taking a vote away from either Hillary or Trump.

That post was directed more generally at all Bernie supporters who treat Hillary like she's the devil. He lost, get over it, they're not that different.

And I disagree, a vote for Jill Stein would be a vote for Jill Stein if this was a multi party system. A vote for Jill Stein next election is effectively half a vote for Trump.


That's how you get there though. National funding comes when a party candidate gets > 5% of the popular vote. Gary Johnson won less than 1% of the popular vote in 2012. This cycle, he's polling over 5% which means the Libertarian party gets closer footing with funding and representation at debates and such.

For me climate change is an urgent, pressing issue and the Dem platform has never gone far enough for my liking. The threat of support for the Greens may still push Hillary closer to commitments such as rejection of fossil fuel buildout projects and a faster timeline towards renewables that I'd be more comfortable with.

http://www.fec.gov/press/bkgnd/fund.shtml

Since no third-party candidate received 5% of the vote in the 2008 presidential election, only the Republican and Democratic parties were eligible for 2012 convention grants, and only their nominees were eligible to receive grants for the general election once they were nominated. Third-party candidates could qualify for public funds retroactively if they received 5% or more of the vote in the general election.

Trump doesn't even have a campaign manager to keep their chit together and people think this guy is going to be able to put a White House staff together?
