To be perfectly honest, I don't plan on voting for Trump or Clinton but every day when I read news and watch TV... it seems the biased media keeps "shouting" at me to not vote for Trump... what that does instead is make me want to vote for Trump... its almost like reverse psychology, the more someone tells me NOT to do something, the stronger the urge to go out and do it... anyone else feels this way?

No. When I was 13 and my parents told me not to do something I sometimes got the urge to go and do it, I was a teenager and lots of my decision were based on protest. Now I'm an adult so I mostly think for myself. That's partially the reason I don't listen to media, especially, to opinion pieces. All I get from media is news, and as soon as a reporter starts giving me his/her opinion, I tune out. It's not that hard to do, actually, if you know how to think. It takes practice, but it can be done .

NO! I've thought Trump is a jackass for 35+ years. No amount of media hoopla, positive or negative is going to change that.
The media is controlled by the 0.1% which are diametrically opposed to the welfare of the rest of us. I don't believe a thing that they say. And just as you, I tend to do the opposite of what they tell me to do.

Interesting. You have been following Trump for 35+ years and have known all of the facts about him and were able to form that opinion for all of those years. How were you able to find time to live your life and still be able to keep up with Donald so closely?
TRUMP 2016 Make America Great Again...
It's difficult to make a compelling case for either of these candidates.
I guess a Democrat might vote for Hillary for the SCotUS appointments while a Republican might vote for Hillary out of a love for the status quo.
I guess someone might vote for Trump as the last great hope for staving off an avalanche of Regressive Left PC thought control or for some vague notion that he could 'make things great.' Or someone might just want to blow it all up, to see something different, to see chaos reign and some mutation emerge.
I'm voting for a Tripartite Presidency -- Jim Webb on foreign affairs and defense, Gary Johnson on sovereign rights, and Jon Huntsman on economic decisions.
