U.S Presidential Election 2016 Not Otherwise Specified

[blackchubby38]

Look, Half my family lives on the Gulf Coast, if I lived down there, I would be voting for Trump like you. .
It's just like Obama said
"If I watched Fox News, I wouldn't vote for me, either"

If you support Trump for whatever reason, that is your right.
But if you believe
"we can't AFFORD health care for poor people"
and
"throwing away the Constitution is better than giving Hillary her Supreme Court Justice"
or "climate change is fake"

you're going to get a talk.
If someone can talk you into something, then someone can talk you out of it.

Actually I'm not voting for Trump. While I'm not 100% enthusiastic about her, I'm voting for Hillary Clinton. I'm just being realistic about Trump's chances of winning. A view I have had going all way back to their respective conventions.

Whether or not Comey endangered his position at the head of the FBI, the episode has cost him his chief asset: his reputation, cultivated assiduously in the media, for probity and judgment. Beyond the director himself, the coda to the Clinton email inquiry has exposed the FBI as a politicized agency, a development with serious repercussions over the next several years.

I don't know if people will agree with the above, but the article offers a gloomy prospect for the FBI for the near future. Another casualty of this ugly election, you have to wonder how the FBI got itself into such a mess.

I'm glad that this forum allows for political discourse but I find it funny that a fair number of conservative men thoroughly enjoy viewing transgender porn or engaging in physical acts with transsexual women. But say or do very little to help with lgbtq issues !

I have a little confession.
Not only do I misread half the posts here,
I have no idea what will happen tomorrow.
Either half the country is composed of morons,
or I am mentally ill.
Maybe both.

Same here...and same goes for trans folk (male and female) voting for a party that literally wants to legislate them out of existence.

My last thoughts on this election are prompted by the insistence by Ann Coulter on the BBC 2 programme Newsnight an hour ago, that she thinks Trump has articulated the issues and that it was not his personality that won over those Americans who say they will vote for him. I find this astonishing, as his attacks on trade deals, on China and immigration contain no depth of thought at all and if anything present the remarkable position of an American capitalist who is opposed to free trade. That alone should have had conservatives storming the barricades around Trump rallies, or having a quiet word with Reince Priebus about ditching him. And where in any case was there a sustained debate on climate change and the environment, on education, on perhaps the biggest issue for Conservatives -welfare?

But two moments for me crystallise this election campaign -the first was the moment at a Trump rally when a man heckling the platform was dragged away and Trump said he would like to punch him in the face. That a Presidential candidate wanted to physically assault a fellow American for criticising him exposed that aspect of Trump's personality which makes him unfit for public office. The second came in the TV debate when, having claimed elections are rigged, Trump refused to say he would accept the result. That to me was not just outrageous, it did not just prove Trump believes he is more important than the American political system, it was surely an attack on the Constitution, and that the Republican Party failed to deal with it speaks volumes for the decline of the Party of Lincoln into a bottle party that no decent person would want to attend.

Courage!

Agreed . The complete impotence of the Republican Party in this whole thing disturbs me the most.

My only last thoughts are that we should all get out and vote even if you're in a state that's bluer than blue or redder than red. It's a privilege to be able to have a voice in the election, and there's a lot at stake. If obstacles have been put in your way, that's even more incentive to vote.

Hopefully the next time I post here, we'll have just elected our first female president, who despite her pantsuits and awkward laugh, is a supremely competent and dedicated public servant.

[flabbybody]

I'm very certain America will vote with resounding wisdom tomorrow and elect Hillary our next president. (fingers crossed)
This has been a difficult election for sure. The stuff some of my family and friends have uttered greatly trouble me.. and I'm sure the Trump folks in my life are saying the same about me.
Our little forum here has been a welcome ray of sanity.
