News Clinton Vs Trump

[hodge]

For sure. Or as someone here (sorry, I can't remember who) put it on chat not long ago, "guinea pig hair," lol. No offense to guinea pigs. I think they are adorable.

thanks for the documentary info.
it looks like they have several interesting videos posted online too about them

 

[hodge]

Yes, I saw that, too. I'm still recovering from the debate and have been really limiting my exposure to the news. I don't know how long the doc is, but I usually have to take quiet breaks about every 15-20 minutes, then I try to catch up online as I can.

I think if they go into their life histories, Hillary's growing-up story should be pretty compelling. I heard her say today that her mother suffered a lot in her upbringing and got out on her own at a very early age. Can't remember the details (I'm fairly brain dead from lack of sleep), but it was really something.

I'm getting genuinely scared about the prospect of Trump winning. Earlier on, I thought for sure he wouldn't make it this far. But he has. I'm due to move back in a few weeks and I fear it will be a big mistake if he wins. I don't think I'd be able to survive as a single mother with a low income in Trump's America.

Something I don't understand. Awhile back, @joeylittle provided a link to an article that seemed to credibly link Trump to accusations of rape. Also sex with a minor. No one talks about that at all, anywhere, near as I can tell. But it's brought out that he called Miss Universe "fat" 20 years ago, and it's news. What's up with that?

What's up with that?

No clue. My personal guess would be that the clinton side wouldn't bring it to bear because the one was settled out of court and the others are pending. So, no-one can really talk. You saw his response to her bringing up the 1973 discrimination lawsuit. Trump has always, always had very good lawyers.

And the news side...I don't know why no-one is going after it, except again that there's little to say. Trump's side (and his supporters) are very good at keeping the current Clinton scandals in front of the media, and since they are very of the moment, they are more newsworthy.

I suppose the Clinton campaign would rather not play dueling scandals. But that article was pretty convincing and seriously creepy. Maybe I'm seeing that through the filter of my own experiences with narcissists. (I'll never forget the conversation with my T, where I said I was looking for a better reason to dislike Trump than 'he reminds me of my brother.' He looked me right in the eye, totally serious, and said, 'The fact that he reminds you of your brother is ENOUGH reason to dislike him.') I still can't quite believe this is happening!

Something that struck me about the debates is that many don't like Clinton's style because she is so careful with her words, while others don't like Trump because he is so careless with his words.

If anyone needs a comedic break from the true seriousness of the Trump v Clinton election, check out this:

It's pretty funny commercial for an interesting movement that is one of many efforts trying end some of the corruption that contributed to the current election debacle.

I know that others are calling for a convention of states (conventionofstates.com) to try to change the whole system.

We sure do live in interesting times.

Sorry to have to not have read all of the replies yet or watch the debate yet. I have it DVR'd but i cant bring myself to watch it yet...anxiety.

But im just so torn. Do I vote for Clinton, whom I also dislike, because I dislike her less than Trump? Do I vote Johnson or Stein because I hate Clinton & Trump, and feel like its a wasted vote? Or do I just not vote at all?

When asked how he was going to get the businesses who have left America to come back (since this is one of his major stump points), his answer was something like 'we never should have let them go in the first place'.

My dad, a Trump worshiper, said "you wont get laid off if Trump becomes President. Vote for him to save your job. What? My company does, majorly, outsource, but Presidents stay "President elect" until Jan, right? Like that makes zero sense to me.

Its getting to the point where Trump supporters are starting to be like one of those zombies in The Walking Dead. Just aimlessly following him reguardless.

Bleh! :wtf:

A vote for a third-party candidate equals a vote for Trump.

 

[scout86]

That kind of depends on where you live, what with the electoral college and all.
