News No Clue Who To Vote For!

[hodge]

Trump is a fascist. I'd never vote for him.

I saw a bit on the news last evening while flipping around channels and saw where Trump pitched quite a few protesters out of his speech in VT, including a Muslim couple who were just standing there in silent presence/protest. Really?

I have to agree with Hodge, but was thinking more of thinking he'd be good a tyrant?! Cult of personality in action. Haters are gonna hate. Scary.

Hillary the lesser evil? Holy shit, lying about classified info on her "private server" making deals and some of the Clinton underlings getting in trouble due to Clinton Foundations shenanigans... oh sure, let's make her president. *cough, cough... bullshit* Really? The Dems had nothing more to offer than these cronies?

I can't vote for him..must be her...last thing I want to do as a mixed minority. I can't imagine how the 'heroes' would be if he were president! f*cking Dick Cheney and and Bill O'Reilly talk shit about Trump! That's crazy!!!

The 'Bernie won't win' thing frustrates me.

First, because the actual evidence has him running nearly neck-to-neck with Hillary (and with bigger leads than Hillary against any Repub). . .even with a whole lot of people saying they like him most, but aren't going to vote for him 'because he can't win'.

Second, because voting for him in this election, whether he wins or not, puts a large amount of pressure on Dems to actually be serious about improving the country for everyone, not just for their corporate sponsors. Hillary is already distorting her record to appear more Bernie-ish.

Third, this election's political analysts. . .which is where the idea of Bernie having no real chance comes from. . .have been wrong about pretty much everything this election cycle. Trump will fade in a week, no really, this time Trump really will fade, no seriously, Trump is totally toast. Jeb is the man to beat. Rubio will win because he is sexy. Hillary is a shoo-in. etc, etc.

All I'm saying is. . .if you like Bernie the best, vote for him. There is little downside. . .and the upside is that we might get a guy, maybe the only guy, who actually has a long, verifiable career of standing against entrenched power.

Good point @Zef

I do not like Trump nor Hillary at all. I have to do more research on the other candidates to make a more informed decision. The elections just keep on getting scarier and scarier to me.

@Zef you said that in the nice, level way I never could have but wanted to. Thank you. :tup:

I'd just like to add to what @Zef said, a quote from Jesse Ventura, that "the only really wasted vote is a vote for someone other than the person you'd really like to win". (Probably more of a paraphrase, I can't remember his exact words.)

I'm an independant and can lean closer to either side depending on the situation. I hate Hillary and T...

I may join you on the island...could you make it a southern island?

I find Trump and Clinton repulsive. I'm going to vote for Rubio, even if I have to do it as a write in.

Not sure what you mean Ed... I stopped watching Fox cuz they were banging the gong for Trump. Poor Pantsuit, she's being investigated by the FBI for corruption now. I just hate it when that happens.

I hope she likes to wear orange... provided Lynch and the Obama Admin decide to bring her to task. Even Biden has come out about Sanders over Hilldabeast.
