If it were only that simply. I think we're going to see some very, very angry protesters at the convention. It will make the GOP convention look like a walk in the park.

At this time I am appealing to Sanders supporters and minority voters - I know Trump isn't what you want. But the only two realistic choices are Clinton and Trump. You know what you're getting if you vote Clinton. You know EXACTLY what you're getting. And if you want what she's selling, then vote Clinton.

But if you want something different just TRY Trump. Give him four years and if your life isn't any better and he f's it all up, go back to the Democrat party. But voting the same way every single time will never change anything. The D party is completely and absolutely corrupted. That will not change unless the PEOPLE force change. It will only get worse.

The R party has completely and absolutely been turned on its head, and the establishment within the party loathes what has happened. They loathe Trump and they loathe the possibility that he will completely upset the apple cart. But no matter how much money and how much BS they threw out there, they couldn't push "their guys" through the process and eventually the will of the people had to be heard.

Just think about it. And open your ears, your minds and your hearts and really listen to what he has to say. Those of us who are voting for him may find out PDQ that we were all played for chumps. But I don't think so. Either way, I'm willing to take that chance. This may be my only chance in my lifetime to send a message to Washington that:

Two words - Supreme Court.

Four years could turn into 30 years.

That, and his LAW AND ORDER, reminds me of both Nixon and Wallace and not in a good way.

If one is a white male - by all means. If you are of any other ethnicity or female or gay ~ not a smart move.

What has Hillary done that is so bad? The Republicans have been wasting taxpayer money with countless investigations for 20 years now, and not even one allegation was found to have merit.

Can someone name ONE thing she has done that would cause a normally sane person to vote for Trump of all people? I mean, the clown whose entire campaign platform is "build a wall" and "ban the Muslims". The dude who is buddies with Putin, wants to destroy NATO and the economy, wants to suspend civil liberties and tear up the Constitution, and wants to end global trade and go back to the 50's? The guy whose base of support is basically white supremacist groups, nativists, and the least educated among us. The guy whose only newspaper endorsement is the National Enquirer? The only Republican candidate in history who will lose the college-educated vote?

He's like a real-world version of the President in the Idiocracy movie. Hillary is basically the same thing as Obama, who has been pretty decent, while Trump is basically a fascist who would destroy America.

Ok catlady, let's analyze this. Where in that quote above yours is xenophobia and bigotry. Everyone is watching now, don't blow it. Come on, show us. Be specific because I'm calling you out.

Last I checked the Saudis are no friends of ours, the fight against ISIS has been minuscule at best and Barry's father was Muslim which if you know anything about Islam (I know you don't) makes him a Muslim regardless of his "conversion". Please, don't make this so easy for us. You can try alittle harder no?

Hillary has strong connections to other Democrats all across the country from being First Lady who actively and successfully campaigned for her husband.
  • Hillary is far more electable than Sanders because of her connections and her experience as First Lady, US Senator, and Secretary of State. Moreover, she appeals to significant demographics that Sanders does not, most notably blacks and Latinos.
  • Hillary knows how to win elections, especially when a large, diverse electorate is involved. Sanders might or might not. Vermont is a small, pretty homogeneous state with a quirky political scene. How many other states have ever elected an admitted socialist in any state wide election in the last century?
You mean the same witch... I mean woman that referred to Black males like me as super predators? The same woman who panders with her hotsuace comments, but gets angry with and refuses to answers questions from a BLM supporter? Really, that's what you call appealing?

And by connections I assume the same connections that got her off scott free from the FBI even though she was caught red handed. The Democratic party is a joke.

Surely her nomination has to be rescinded doesn't it? That's the only thing that makes sense, disqualify her!

Problem with the Russian thing is that it comes right back at them with their support of Turkey and ISIS oil while Putin was trying to stop it. I'll be on Putin's side any day of the week over ISIS.

Me too!
