    I think it's obvious that our political system is corrupt to the core and Hillary Clinton is a large part of that.

    Now remember when a Trump supporter punched someone at a Trump rally a long time ago? It was on every damn news channel there is with instant KKK and Hitler's brownshirt associations. This stuff, however, is perfectly fine... :)

    And the solution to that is to elect a total boor who's completely despised by both parties and won't be able to get squat done because the Constitution prevents presidents from being dictators? If you think the system is corrupt start voting for downticket candidates and third party presidential candidates who don't know who world leaders are.

    It's just fascinating to me how people dismiss being a career politician as a bad thing. We wouldn't want outsiders who didn't know what they were doing in any other walk of life. We don't want people who didn't know how to cook to serve us in restaurants or med students who've taken two classes to do a major surgery on us.

    Hillary Clinton's career as a politician has been abysmal. Would you keep going to eat at a restaurant that served you shitty food because they had experience cooking?

    edit: I should also note that trump was hardly my first choice. he's just my only remaining choice.

    So you comment on Johnson's reply to the question, name a world leader you respect, when it is obvious by your reply you did not listen to the town hall discussion where the question was asked.

    Career politicians might not be a bad thing if they were checked when trying to profit from selling their votes and influence. But it's quite obvious that the vast majority do sell their influence and the system is unable to stop it. Of course you can say there is no concrete proof Clinton used her position as pay for play but what there is out there is proof enough to me and millions of others.

    It amazes me that some people still think Clinton is trustworthy.

    Because he left our country with a surplus and a 66% approval rating. The Fox News machine has made your hate for Hillary run deep. You talk about media-fed talking points yet the only points you EVER make are directly out of Sean Hannity's cock-laden mouth. There is nothing simple about the part of the tax code Trump EXPLOITED to put his losses on his shareholders and the taxpayers.

    Yea cause he spits the truth all the time. Like 90% of what he says is fabricated bullshit that he makes up in his brain on the spot. They are both not trustworthy, as is every other politician. You don't think Trump would abuse his power as president every chance he got?? He would no doubt be the most corrupt president in our history if given the chance.

    This whole thing is about his ego, which is why he wont release his tax returns. Not because he cheated the system, but because hes only worth a fraction of what he says hes worth. Real great business man right? How do you bankrupt a fuckin casino lol

    Will you shut the fuck up about fox news already? They are one of the many news outlets I follow. If everything I say sounds like fox news it's because they're following me. FYI, I got my information about the tax law trump used from fucking Bloomberg.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-10-03/trump-s-1995-return-shows-good-tax-policy-at-work

    He didn't exploit shit and it IS very simple and used by many Americans every year. The fact that you find it offensive says more about your slurping up a narrative than anything. You don't get to decide what you think Trump owes, we have laws for that. Your feelings are fucking irrelevant.

    You completely missed the point on Bill Clinton, obviously. His record as a president shouldn't matter, unless of course, being a rapist and womanizer is not something that precludes one from being president. You can't pretend to be taking some kind of moral high ground on woman's rights and use Bill Clinton as a positive in your campaign unless you're completely hypocritical and believe your voters are morons.

    I actually think a strong argument could be made that, if he were elected President, he'd likely have very little ability to abuse anything. Very few people in the reigning political and bureaucratic establishment are likely to put their asses on the line for him. The Pentagon would just ignore him entirely. In a lot of ways you could make an argument that he'd be the least dangerous president ever.

    Of course, he's never truly intended to serve as president anyway.

    it's almost cute how the few remaining die hard Trump supporters try to portray him as a victim..

    that's all the rest of his sorry campaign will be......positioning himself with excuses as to why he didn't win, playing the victim, and pointing the finger everywhere but himself in a vein attempt to save face/ego.

    the race is already over. republican party is a complete circus.
    we need more than 2 political parties, so we can have more than 1 actual candidate in future POTUS elections.

    so coming off yet another misogyny scandal, Trump's debate strategy was to intentionally disrespect the female candidate, while attempting to appear physically imposing towards her.

    brilliant. Does his campaign realize women actually vote?

    Yup. I'll add, I am starting to think you watch much more Fox News than I do.

    I usually opt for Fox News if I'm not in the mood for Louis CK or George Carlin. You know, entertainment value. I watch Fox when I need a laugh.

    And we do but noone will vote for him because he can't win, because no one will vote for him, because he can't win, because no one will vote for him.
    Too many sheep in the country.....

    How Rand Paul wasn't the nominee for the GOP is beyond me. I probably would be voting for him and he would probably be winning. Just speaks volumes about the GOP that they let Trump detonate the party.

    I'm still voting for Gary Johnson..
    living in NY, i know Clinton is winning all electoral votes anyway. But i prefer to show support that 3rd party candidates have interest.

    Feel the Johnson!
