so when Trump says all the nonsense he says, we are to believe it. But when Hillary says this nonsense about Australia and guns we aren't supposed to believe it?
There's nothing scary about Hillary. She's just the latest standard bearer for the Military-Industrial-Complex. The really scary candidates, and I'm not sure Trump is one of them yet, are the people who are fully invested in the Security side of the M-I-C. Those people could destroy Democracy without a second thought if they thought the risks were great enough, and somebody can always convince you that the risks are too great once you get into that situation. This is assuming they aren't oligarchical power hungry types who just want as much power as they can grab.
I am voting for Hillary but it is quite scary that she botched a lot in the Middle East and in a race against Trump- she's actually the "war hawk"
What fact? Are you talking about the Q&A that you posted? You do realize that it says absolutely nothing of Merkel's policies, right? It speaks to Clinton's assessment of her leadership style, that's all.
Where did I say anything about believing anything Trump says? Please keep on topic. What "nonsense about Australia and guns" are you talking about? See where I'm going? I'm looking for facts. I'm looking for quotes. Give me something real to work with.
This should be pretty easy. What do you think Hillary means when she applauds the Australian gun laws? Answer the question.
Oh and actually, Clinton did say the Australian approach would be worth considering doing on a national level here. So there's that.
Trump said we should go after ISIS members wives and families. Should we just dismiss that statement because he didn't offer a real plan with facts to get it done? just curious
I was only being sarcastic but we need to also be realistic in this that Hillary is so unlikeable that it's very possible independent voters will not vote for her and Sanders supporters will vote for Trump to make a statement. It's absolutely the fault of the GOP that we're stuck in this mess and the idiots who think "building a wall" is an answer to all of our problems. Trump is a carnival barker and there are a lot of really gullible people who he has sucked in.
By far. Bill wasn't a war hawk but she definitely is. She voted for Iraq and she was one of the drivers behind Homeland Security.
I think what will do him in is since 1992 the democrat has won the same 19 states plus Washington DC in every single election which gives her 242 electoral votes so if she wins Florida where she currently has a double digit lead on Trump she'll be at 272 and it's game set and match. That doesn't even include swing states like Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada and Colorado. All of those would just be gravy for her. Even though Hillary struggled in Nevada she'll win the state because there just are only so many white male voters to give Trump a shot. He has an 20% approval rating with women and minorities in NV and they make up a huge demographic. He is even trailing her in Utah.... fucking Utah which Romney won like 75% of the votes last election and McCain the same. If Utah is in play you are fucked.
I am very surprised Bernie didn't go after her on that. Maybe more time attacking her on things like this, less on crying about rich people, toning down the "socialism" stuff and he could've won this nomination. Instead he just cried about rich people and Hillary countered with "I know.. I agree" Its especially surprising since Sanders was in office and would have proof of a vote against the war in Iraq
So how does "worth considering" a gun buyback program equate to confiscating everybody's guns? Gun buyback programs happen every month somewhere in the US; does that mean the confiscation paranoia is warranted?
The real problem with Bernie's campaign is that he identified one of the main problems facing society, the widening income and assets gap, but he didn't connect well with the people most vulnerable to that gap, the aging voters who have seen their financial security erode with each passing year and have seen multiple hostile proposals on privatizing their social security and medicare that would make things much worse for many of them. He connected just fine with the under-employed youth vote but he somehow never connected well with the people who generally decide elections. Not sure how he could have fixed that. He probably needed to be less revolutionary and more common sense oriented. He could easily have described the economy more as "how are YOU doing today as opposed to a generation ago?" and swept a bunch of Trump voters into his column.
Forget Trump. He said he was going to have Mexico build a giant wall. That's not part of this discussion. You're talking about Clinton confiscating guns but no evidence exists she ever has even considered such a thing. Where do you get these things from?
Seeing as Sanders supporters are big on human rights and such, it's highly doubtful they'd vote for someone whose path to the presidency resembles Hitler's rise to power.
