Two things:
1) I will not support Hillary if she wins. I will never speak kindly of her nor give her any benefit of doubt.

2) She won't care.

Turd pile? Let's see,
Unemployment under 5%
Low inflation
Low gas prices
Robust stock market
Robust housing market
Not many American boys getting killed in foreign wars


Whoever gets elected, I hope they continue Obama's policies to a tee!

And this is the kind of low info voter we have voting for Hillary. To believe all that garbage is true is amazing. Its like living in a cave for 8 years.

These are things driven by the market, by individual business, and by the world economy. The President (or government) doesn't control these things, although people love to think he does somehow.

Just how does an individual 'support' a POTUS?

What indication is there that once in office a POTUS pays attention to the wants/needs of the people?

Nixon convinced me that just doesn't happen and I've seen little since to make me believe otherwise.

Average voter: Who's Nixon? Is he related to Kennedy, on Fox News?

I just cannot see a possibility of supporting Clinton in any way.

I didn't vote for Obama but when he was first voted in as president back in 08 I remember very clearly feeling that I would hope for the best, and thinking he had won, he was my president now, and that I wished him every success. Because if he succeeded, we ALL succeeded. By the time he won the 12 election it was with a sense of resignation that I realized he would again be our president.

But if Clinton wins I feel no sense of hope that this country will move from the wrong track (that the majority of Americans now feel that we are on) to the right track.

There's a lot of useless (mind numbingly lying and useless crap) floating around about both candidates but Clinton has been around long enough for her value system to be public record. Not only her personal value system but also the political agenda that she will move forward should she become president. She disgusts me on a personal level. On almost every political agenda item (from the issue of border security and illegal immigration to the 2A, refugee intake, support for law enforcement, BLM, national security, make up of the SC and size of government) I disagree with her positions.

I'm a political junkie because on many levels I just find it interesting. But I'm also a patriot and love this country. Truthfully I find so many positions that liberal politicians hold defy realty, logic and common sense. And some are toxic for the overall good of the nation. I used to watch the State of the Union without fail every year but for the past couple of years I have skipped it and just watched the pre and post game analysis. I just can't stand the sight of Obama or the sound of his voice anymore. I already feel that way now about Clinton and she's not even the president yet.

Will I support her if she becomes president? No. I cannot. What I'll do is hunker down in my small town and hope the hell the next four years go by quickly.

Thankfully we didn't have Twitter in my mis-spent youth, I might have believed some of the spin, I had to observe the powers that be, how anyone could survive that era without having a very healthy dose of cynicism is beyond me.

Based on the totally incestuous relationship between the State Dept and the Clinton Foundation I'd say Hillary has been in sales as well...

Amazing a 10 year old doesn't buy into the leftist hype about him.[/QUOTE

Kids shown trump videos.?
Child abuse! Call the authorities.
