I think you mean the Democratic party has become the party of free social programs.

I wouldn't hire a fascist or a demented would-be dictator, especially an ignorant and incompetent one. Case closed.

Deny it all you want, but it's not any Democrat politician tweeting memes from white supremacist websites.

I can't even bother to respond to some of these posts because it's the same rhetoric over and over. I'm sure some are paid trolls as they post verbatim the same words to many threads. We also have those who " don't vote " but pretend to know everything there is to know about politics.

At this point - I think almost everyone knows who they support - but are they publicly supporting their candidate - no - due to the reaction they may get from fellow family members, friends and colleagues. If you don't know who Trump is and who Hillary is - something is wrong with you.

I do think there are more people going to vote for both Trump and 3rd party even if they profess to be a Hillary supporter - why - because they're sick and tired of defending their choice with liberals and I don't blame them. They see the reaction people receive if they disagree with the President. You're automatically labeled a racist and a Republican and the libs can not believe you just don't approve of the man's policies or are disgusted that the world he promised you was all a farce.

What will be will be - I don't see my support changing anytime soon.

You've more than once been chastised about your demeanor and name calling in multiple threads - too bad it hasn't sunk in as you may be someone who would be a good debater in the long run.

So can you quantify that?

In other words, you're trying to claim a sort of Bradley effect with polling for Trump. Any evidence to that other than your wishful thinking?

And, there is plenty of time to work on that and it is coming around as he gains in the polls and some can't stomach the thought of voting for the crook and incompetent Democrat after the FBI report.

I know a lot of logical women, and they are all voting for Trump.

I did not intend for it to sound sextist and I apologize if it offended any women in here. I didn't say all women allow their emotions to hamper their thinking process. I know many who don't. Can someone explain to me why any women won't vote for Trump other than my comment about those who allow their emotions to rule them and they are usually liberals anyway. I'd really like to know.
