I thought you said that his votes were going to Trump.

Actually Facebook and Twitter is buzzing with hate over Bernie's decision to endorse Hillary. Do we all forget the lawsuits currently against Wasserman Schults and the DNC for rigging the elections that his supporters started? His supporters don't and many on the net swear they won't vote for her.

Not sure why that isn't considered logical, seems pretty logical to me.

Unfortunately you don't just jump to $100M over night, so that statement on your part is the illogical part. You want to preclude someone based on the fact that they can go 0-50,000MPH on 10 seconds, which seems like you just don't ever want a third party. If thats the case, I'm fine with that, but just say it, don't make up some ridiculous claim, then claim I'm not making sense.
Yes, but you are assuming they are getting it because the party is growing and not because of the major party candidates. I'm not so sure they will be doing so well in a normal election. My guess is Johnson will likely get between 3-8 percent this election and running up against an incumbent and a more polished opponent he won't be as attractive of an option. You are wrong when you say that I don't want a 3rd party. I would prefer a parliamentary system with multiple parties honestly. It would ensure a lot more got done. However, I understand American politics and how 3rd parties tend to have disappointing follow up elections. It's possible that it will be different this time around but I doubt it. Americans just don't have a tradition of voting for a 3rd party.

No, it's pretty much common sense. In the end one of them is going to win. There are just not enough people who will vote 3rd party to make a difference. The only way that might of happened is if Bernie decided to form his own party this election and run. Barring that Johnson and Stein will only get a small fraction of votes.

Who voted for the Iraq War? Who was in favor in going in Libya ? who is in favor of being in Syria and for a NO FLY ZONE in Syria that is a recipe for war against the Russians and Syrian government.

To say Hillary is NOT a War Hawk really must have been in a coma for the past 15 years and ignore Hillary's votes and speeches in the senate and her role as secretary of state.






Cut the B.S., more lies from the left......the Texas Law only limited abortions after the 5th month for a few exceptions.....if you are going to have an abortion is it too much to ask you liberals to do it before the 5th month of pregnancy ? that's 20 weeks to decide to terminate the abortion. That's almost an entire NFL season including the playoffs to decide.

But liberals like you scream that is making nearly impossible for a women to terminate a pregnancy......the states always regulated abortions.


Who said in 1996 "Abortions should be LEGAL but RARE".....It was Bill Clinton but the Democrat party of today wants no regulations on abortions and are for abortions on demand.
It's hard to discuss issues with someone that has no idea of what the issues ARE.


First - please refer to this, read thoroughly and get back to me regarding the Texas rulings.


http://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...-abortion.html




Secondly, tell me exactly when Hillary Clinton cast a vote for NAFTA.


Third ~ who was for the Libyan and Syrian interventions? Obama. Bernie.


Fourth - who voted for the Iraq War? No one. Those Yay's gave Bush permission to do what he felt was right. Blame lays squarely on his shoulders.


Fifth: Who twice voted for the AUMF? Just give me a guess.

if you need the entire NFL season including the playoffs to decide if you are going to keep the pregnancy unless for the life of the mother then you are a bunch of morons.

liberals like to distort the truth.


stop lying.....
Not to turn this into an abortion debate, but you are apparently uninformed that many late term abortions are decided upon based on a 20 week ultrasound as that is when the issues are found. It's not about "deciding to keep the pregnancy" - it's often about a much desired pregnancy where there was no idea about severe problems until that time because many prenatal conditions don't manifest in a way that the woman would be aware of it.

BTW, lots of conservative women/Republican women have abortions too. But some people like to distort the truth, I guess....

OP I was young once too. There is no need to justify why you won't vote for HC. I was so hoping he would call her out and call for a third party with Him running.

I am a Trump supporter and I liked Bernie and disliked Hillary. Now I am confused too.

Hmmm. Yet polls show 85% of them are voting for Hillary. Go figure.
