Trump is a part of it. And Hillary is a part of it too. We need a president that acts like a grown up. That's all I'm saying.


Of the four on the ballot, I only see one who is behaving like a toddler. I still don't really know what you mean by "presidential" but if you're saying Clinton doesn't know how to behave like a grown up in adult company I'd have to say she does and she meets that particular criteria. Trump does not.


There's no doubt that Trump is by far the worst behaved one of the 4.

But Hillary calling 25% of Americans a "basket of deplorables" and "irredeemable" wasn't that great either. And it's not just one time. She constantly refers to Republicans as her enemy, which is also very immature and irresponsible for a potential head of state. So Hillary might act more mature than Trump, but she isn't that much better.

I don't know much about Kaine, but his constant interrupting and douchey behavior during the Veep debate was so annoying that I hate him just because of that.

So I'm not really rooting for Mike Pence. He just hasn't done anything to make me hate him yet. At least not that I know of...

You're right. I'd say a full third of the country is a basket of deplorables.

It was not politically savvy for Hillary to use the phrase, but was she wrong?

She didn't say 25% of Americans, but half of Trump supporters which is NOT 25% of Americans when you factor in those who are unregistered or who don't vote.

Therefore, it is closer to something like 15% of Americans who fit what she said which was:

"you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. "

And I don't see how there can be much argument that there is about 15% of the population that fits that list of adjectives.

Saying there is a 15% that buys into a script that says a wall will keep out immigrants and terrorists and protect their jobs and keep them safe is not exactly a stretch.

Clinton didn't help herself by saying it, but she wasn't wrong either.

Saying half of Trump's supporters are extreme and bigoted is easy to see. That there are people who are Trump supporters who can be reasonable about any number of things is also true, but all Trump supporters are backing a man who courts that lesser half of people that make up his rabid base. That is why all Trump supporters have that baggage to carry.

Trump's hardcore base is basically the worst of American society.

Yeah, it is hard not to laugh at people who act like Clinton being salty is some kind of fatal character flaw. She is known to curse like a sailor and is at this point a tough old bird. What do people expect a woman survivor of the political thunderdome to be? A prim and proper little princess? Nobody has withstood more BS than Clinton so I always factor in some of her temperament to 40 years of dealing with even greater douchebaggery from right wing trolls and the angry, little baby men of the confederacy of dunces.

If Trump were just salty it wouldn't be what we're witnessing now. Trump is just an outright punk and troll of the worst kind. He's not salty, he's just a batchit crazy loser.

It's now 7 women (not counting Marlee Matlin).

Two new women came forward today, one in a Washington Post story (claims Drumpf met her at a club, and slid his finger into her panties), another in LA who is a Republican and former contestant on The Apprentice (from 2007).

Nobody said anything about taking your guns away. That is a lie. Modifications to gun purchase procedures has nothing to do with amending the constitution. Anybody who is sincere about how the law works knows this and doesn't repeat this nonsense that you will not continue to have the right to bear arms

Trump is deeply indebted to Russian bankers. Putin controls those bankers. Spinning that as if it is good for diplomacy is ridiculous.

Your paranoia about WW3 is a fantasy. The only person who is a threat to national security in terms of Russian relations is Trump since he is in bed with the Kremlin.

And yet you spin that as some form of diplomacy when in fact it is collusion with a dangerous enemy. Yes, Russia is the enemy and dealing with that cannot be accomplished by giving them what they want which is what Trump would do.

Go ahead and explain to us how the ONLY provision Trump's campaign wanted on the RNC's policy platform was a call to reduce U.S. support of the Ukraine against Russian aggression.

THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WANTED OUT OF THE HUNDREDS OF ITEMS THEY COULD HAVE CHOSEN.

And you want to talk about a threat to our society from the Russians? Sure, Trump would serve up American interests to Putin on a silver platter. That's wonderful.

And your paranoia about immigrants flooding the streets and ruining your life is just more fear mongering. The fact is there are already screening controls and Clinton admitting you can't catch every bad guy is her being realistic and not a shrill BS artist who panders to a paranoid group by claiming there is a perfect solution to maintaining security.

You probably want to build a wall. You probably believe Mexico will pay for it too.

I see. So black = white because that is what you want to believe.

If Trump is a sexual predator and the chickens he abused are now coming home to roost and tell their story about the violent cock that he is means that is proof of his viability as an alternative then you are capable of convincing yourself that eating turds is healthy and that all truths are false when they don't fit your agenda.

The only person here who doesn't do their research is you. All of the things you claim are documented as false.

Trump is indebted to the Russians.
Trump advocates Russian interests above the United States interests.
Trump is a violent sexual predator.

All true. All researched and documented here.

You're the one who needs to do your homework, not us.

The hysteria is too much.

We need change for sure. We need voters who understand economics and how to think. That's the change we need.

If I were a CEO, and Drumpf sent me a resume with his history on it, I would tear it up and refuse to even see him for a middle management position, much less an upper management position.

One trip to corporate Bankruptcy Court paints you as potentially unlucky, two paints you as a suspect, four paints you as a world-class screw-up. There are no bankruptcy courts for nation states.

So - the US just got involved in a war in Yemen on behalf of the Saudis.

http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/03/30/make-no-mistake-the-united-states-is-at-war-in-yemen-saudi-arabia-iran/

Yet, make no mistake, the United States is a combatant in this intervention.

The United States is providing targeting intelligence, as the Wall Street Journal reported: “American military planners are using live intelligence feeds from surveillance flights over Yemen to help Saudi Arabia decide what and where to bomb, U.S. officials said.” These video feeds are being provided via U.S. drones, because American manned aircraft are reportedly not presently flying over Yemeni airspace. (One needs to ask: Did U.S.-supplied video feeds help to direct the airstrikes that have caused civilian casualties?) Either way, the aid is clearly above and beyond “logistics” and “intelligence”: The Saudi Defense Ministry announced a U.S. search-and-rescue mission by a HH-60 helicopter flying from Djibouti of two Saudi pilots who ejected from their F-15SA over the Gulf of Aden. Oh, and the United States is also reportedly providing aerial refueling for Saudi fighter aircraft.

You really have the gall to say that about us and in support of someone who is posting hysterical comments that evidence the opposite of wisdom when you are the one who advocates committing genocide?
