But Trump is crazy. With Hillary, and I am in now way a Hillary supporter (I support Bernie), you'll continue to get this neoliberalism that we got with Obama the last 8 years. Social liberal, pro-Wall Street/big business and somewhat hawkish. HRC probably a little more hawkish tho. But we'll also get more left-swinging SCOTUS and lower federal court nominations which is significant. She'll be a social liberal who believes in climate change, who will buck the NRA and will work to strengthen social security and medicare as opposed to trying to replace it with a voucher program. If you support a progressive agenda, it'll be easier and more advantageous to move in that direction from where HRC will take the country as opposed to Trump.

And let's be honest, Trump is going to become the puppet of the GOP establishment he's lambasted this entire primary. Why do you think he met with Paul Ryan? Ryan let Trump know that he will get NOTHING done without his support and if Trump wants his support he's gotta step in line. So, for all you Trump supporters who think this guy is some kind of maverick who's going to buck the establishment ... ain't happening.


:lol: I knew you'd crack eventually.

That's basically where I stand. Among other concerns, I hate how hawkish HRC is but she'll run the country well and take some steps so that we don't all kill ourselves.

If Oregon is close, I will close my eyes, cast my vote for her, exhale... and it's over.

If Trump isn't elected he should buy the Knicks. He will truly make them great again.

YOU SUCK! F*CK YOU CAPN! :lol:

I figured if Noam Chomsky can do it, so can I.

I'm still glad Bernie's staying in it 'till the convention. You never know what can happen. :wink:

We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.

I think Trumbs threat to that was Bernie. I don't think Hilary will get enough turnout because I don't think the minority groups really care for her either. Bernie has always been Trumps biggest threat, Trump does not want to face Bernie thats for sure. And I can't stand any of Bernie's policies but I understand the impact he would have on minority groups.


Maybe, but Hillary got very strong minority support in the primary.

I fully believe minority groups would rather turn out for Hillary than stay home and let Trump win. Especially once Bernie and Obama start campaigning for her in earnest.


Possibly. But unlike Obama...I don't think Minority groups really like Hillary deep down. People really wanted to see Obama win. I am not sure you will have as big as a turnout for Hillary just to prevent Trump from winning at least in my opinion. Especially after all her sh*t is exposed.


But Hispanics and Blacks know Trump is racisct :D so they would do whatever they can to ensure he is not president.

I was supporting Sanders. As a progressive, Hillary and Trump are both vile creatures that I would never vote for. Don't really care which of the two wins, as they are friends anyway. Will go 3rd party in the general with Stein or write-in options. Also changing registration from dem to independent as soon as I get the chance. Gonna stop following politics for a while before it gets too depressing. I bought a cat to take up the time I usually spend reading news and looking at polls.

Its funny I am going to do the opposite ie change from indep to Dem I regret not being able to vote in the primaries. Huge mistake on my part. But yeah I dont follow politics I get too emotional seeing a person I like get attacked.

What makes Trump a vile creature? He loves America and he wants to fight for the lower and middle class. I don't understand hatred for him unless you're an illegal alien leeching or a foreigner with ulterior motives to America's prosperity.

I know the Koch brothers are reportedly piling "tens of millions" into his campaign, but are any of you considering Gary Johnson? It is idealistic, but he might be worth a shot given that the two primary candidates are awful.

you dont understand the hatred for him?

next time you are walking down the street why dont you ask a negro (AKA jolly black folk you shouldnt your turn back on), a mexican rapist (hint: one of those brown people wearing sombreros who make your burrito), a gash (trump loves women but only women bleed) or anyone who reads history books (tops of their heads will be pointy) why they hate trump?

oh and while you are at it why dont you pick up anne coulters latest book? trump stole from it liberally and spouted its "ideas" on the campaign trail

I'm asking you. Why can't you articulate your reasoning? I know those groups tend to hate Trump and it's senseless because he's the only one fighting for them to have the availability of decent lives. The only answer I can come up with it's because it's what the media tells them to do and there's pressure that snowballs into hatred and the people don't even really understand why.

Mike Tyson on Trump- They've been buddies for a long time while he says Obama won't even look at him. What a racist

Female executive National Gold Club manager for 11 years, worked her way up. What a sexist.

Liberals don't like dealing in facts they like to run with headlines that are lies and take them as truth..

"He said all Muslims are terrorists and should be thrown out of the country"-Lie

"He said all Mexicans are rapists"-lie

He said 88% of Mexican women trying to cross the border get raped which is a fact you can look it up.

We're living in a ultra pc world a I'm a victim world where nobody can be offended anymore and they want "safe spaces" to shield them from hurt

Trump is gonna get rid of all that nonsense and bring personal accountability and pride back to America. Where you don't make excuses you tied your bootstraps up and go to work.
