Election 2016 Thread

A great reason to vote for Trump - http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/r ... ing-229711

RNC not spending a dime to support Trump with TV ads.

Good.

Good.

That's great, because if Trump is elected, he will owe somewhere between "Jack" and "Squat" to the RNC. Fuck the RNC.

The problem with the US political system is that all it is is back-scratching, payola, and "Friends of..." garbage.

Trump's a dick, sure. But, if he gets elected, his only way out of becoming a laughing stock and disgrace is to succeed in what he's promised. He will have to fix trade deals, increase American industry and business, get more people back in the labor force, and fix the illegal immigration issue. If he is elected and doesn't do those things, he has so many enemies that he'll go down in history as the worst ever. If he does even half of what he's promised, however, the US economy and industry will be much improved. Add to that wiping out ISIS, and he could be a great President.

It's a roll of the dice.

But, with Clinton, we know what we're getting. A bought and paid for shill to big business and Wall Street finance guys. It costs her too much money to not do what these folks want her to do. Nothing changes with her. We will just continue down the road of job and industry loss, American decline, unrestricted illegal immigration, dicking around with ISIS, and silly one-sided trade deals that fuck the US out of billions.

And Obamacare.... Clinton just wants to pour more money into it. The big complaint before Obamacare was that the US spent too much per capita on health care. Obamacare has increased spending dramatically, and has raised our premiums to numbers not even thought possible three years ago. If Clinton gets in, it's just more taxes, more spending, more regulation, and more gifts to high finance and Wall Street.

With all his warts. Give me Trump. I'll takes me chances.

This is what a lot of people don't get. I support Trump and Trump only. The GOPe can go and fuck themselves with a rusty knife sideways as far as I'm concerned. Fuck them, vote Trump and only vote his supporters down ballot, vote against any of the traitors.

I just wonder why 42 thinks Trump has the brain to even get started in government if the most unlikely scenario did happen and he came into power.

I wonder the same thing about each candidate, not just Trump. He seems as smart as much of the rest of the field.

I doubt there's been a more stupid and less unsuited person for the job than Trump.

I wonder why you would think Hillary Clinton has the ethics to even participate in government. She's used her positions in government to enrich herself repeatedly. She's a liar and she's a cheat, AND she's in the back pocket of big financial institution donors. That's all been demonstrated by the Wikileaks documents.

You keep acting like there is only two options this election - vote Trump, or vote Clinton.

Technically there may be other options, but the reality for most potential voters is a choice between those two (or not voting, in a show of "a pox on both their houses")

I predict the lowest average voter turn-out ever...

[pErvinalia]

"not voting" is the major other option I was referring to. Then there are the other candidates, and I believe on election day there can be others via what they call "write in"?

[JimC]

Is Seth one of the other candidates?

[NineBerry]

Maybe they should have a "cheese and bacon" option in the election

[pErvinalia]

Dick and balls is the most common "write in" in most Australian elections.

No use suing the paper, Trump

"Mr. Trump has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty pageant contestants in their dressing rooms. He acquiesced to a radio host's request to discuss Mr. Trump's own daughter as a 'piece of ass.' Multiple women not mentioned in our article have publicly come forward to report on Mr. Trump's unwanted advances. Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself."

Elections too boring to bother with, until there is a possible groper in chief:

"You cannot underestimate how much this guy turns off women because he is every bully that we have ever met, he is every asshole who talked over us during a meeting, he is every lewd guy who pushed us up against a wall and copped a feel," she says. "This behavior has made so many of us so mad. We are not going to forget to vote."

Another republican on the campaign trail

Why would a reporter bother to calculate 128% in an article whete polls mean nothing:
The Rasmussen poll had Clinton ahead by seven points on Monday, but Trump took the lead in that poll by Thursday morning by two points, a swing of 128 percent! Yes, that's crazy. But since the "Access Hollywood" story came out, there's been more bad news on Clinton coming out ...bla bla
CNBC

Math:9/7 times 100=128

We're gunna need JimC to confirm this..
