News Clinton Vs Trump

[Deleted member 12723]

Thank you @joeylittle for all of the good advice. I have decided not to come into these discussions anymore.

Edited to add i do not see what purpose it would serve for me to here.

@gizmo, I respect your choice to bow out and to do what fits you the best. I personally hope you will join in if you ever want to participate again. I have learned a lot through dialogue with you. But most of all, whatever you choose to do, I hope you know I have really appreciated your valuable input a lot. You have been an important voice in the discussion - along with everyone else here.

The next two months before the election will certainly be heated, and I myself have found that I have a pull to be a little quieter. For me, I'm not really sure why I feel this way.

Heck, it could just be burn out.

On another but related note, I have been thinking about what happens after the election a bit lately. We will all wake up on Novemeber 9 probably knowing who was elected president (barring any hanging chad like disasters.) Some things will change, many things won't change. We can all still work together to build the country - and each other - up again.

@gizmo, I hear you! :hug:

I hate Clinton and I am no where near a "women hater" or a "mean girl".

People accused people that didnt like Obama as being racisist too.

I also value your input! :hug:

FYI, there's a Commander-in-Chief Forum tonight at 8 ET on NBC and MSNBC. Clinton and Trump will appear separately and take questions from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Should be interesting.

Thanks guys for being so kind, I feel the same about the both of you. Who knows I may peep back in from time to time, but taking a break. It is so true after the election none of this will matter. Thanks for the redirect and fresh perspective.

I'm minoring in Political Science-Communication and Analysis. I will just say this election is a bologna ride where there are parts of pieces parts and a lot of poison spewing in the air.

In arguing about Trump and Clinton, I will say this....I hope that I write like Ben Stein and talk like Charles Krauthammer.

However, I know who I'm voting for...and no, it's not Clinton. No more lawyers, sorry.

Do the elections matter to the individual? Well, thanks to President Obama, the democrats, and Obamacare, I just lost a $1500.00 a year medical benefit. So when you go to the polls in November, and you are getting ready to vote, take a minute and think? I could be next.

Dang @RussH, so sorry that happened.

Headline that we almost never read: federal government does great job meeting needs of individuals.

It just doesn't happen. :(

I've been watching the news about the collapse of health insurance and especially of the O'Bama (well, he did claim the obligatory Irish ancestry) care cooperatives.

sorry that you guys are getting to face the long term consequences of economically illiterate policies!

In Britain, the NHS has been in crisis as far back as I can remember, and from what I gather, almost back to its foundation.

but, there are always people who'll step forward to say - "but I had very good treatment" because they have nothing else to compare it to, and there is the inbuilt assumption that without it, no one would have access to any health care whatsoever.

Do the elections matter to the individual?

Re phrasing your question to:

Do individual voters matter to politicians, outside of an election year?

empirically the answer is, no.

I am on a private medical plan that costs me five hundred a month but I love the place and the people and the care that I have recieved so much.

Not everyone can afford this. I think it has become a quagmire and I am sorry Russ that this happened to you.

Well, thanks to President Obama, the democrats, and Obamacare, I just lost a $1500.00 a year medical benefit.

My insurence changed too due to the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), and lost a ton of coverage, have to pay $500 in beginning of the year, and it doesnt cover as much during the year, like now.

Agreed!

Joey told us no more presidential election threads. It's in the sticky at the top of this forum.

@joeylittle can you clarify? Is this thread ok?

This thread sounds presidential in scope to me as it complains about the current POTUS.
