This election is eerily reminiscent of the 08' election, people were on the verge of revolution and absolutely FED UP with how things were going in the country, the economy had just recently collapsed etc. Suddenly the elites/"bad guys" throw up a black presidential candidate (race card) and this causes the masses to instantly stand down and become pacified

Seems history is repeating itself, only this time around "the dark side" and Wall Street forces have played the vagina card with Hillary. I don't think it's gonna work this time though, people have seen that Obama did absolutely NOTHING for the economy (it got even worse!) and raised costs/taxes with his "Obamacare" scheme, i think a lot of people want an outsider/non-establishment candidate for a change

The Trump rally turnout is clear evidence of this, 10k-30k turnout versus Hillary's meager 1000-3000 average turnout
In democracy the purpose of rallies is to tweak your platform to talk to the people, to have a conversation and implement the wants on the people into your core message, this is impossible in a venue of 10k, trumps rallies serve no purpose other than maybe ensure turnout among your base and stoke his ego.

The Independents from all indicators, are buying what Trump is selling.

Maybe it is the Independents that are his base?

He got my vote.
Did he ever expand on how he'd plan to do that?

Anyone supporting either of these clowns is too much of an idiot to be allowed to vote. Or reproduce for that matter.

Doesn't matter anyway. Your vote means nothing. You have no choice. Politicians are irrelevant and interchangeable. It's all rigged, and we're dupes.

That's a dangerous way of thinking.

No they aren't. Ever since the first debate, there's been a steady trend in the polls showing independents turning away from Trump and toward Clinton. That's where most of her 6 point lead is coming from. There is absolutely no data showing independents moving toward Trump, anywhere. It's just magical thinking.

Hillary is part Obama and part G W Bush, probably more Bush. Another 4 years of status quo and worse of the last 28 years. Thanks Democrat voters. Who knew Democrats supported W's policies so strongly?

The future of the country, the economy, constitution, well-being of our children, safety of our comunities, etc doesn't matter to these rabid head-in-the-sand Hillary supporters. Apparently EVERYTHING must be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness and "OMG a woman as president!"

I wonder how many leftists are voting for her JUST because she has a vagina, probably more than would dare to admit it here or anywhere else Same thing happened back in 08', all kinds of people voted for Obama JUST because he was black and "OMG first black president!"

To be fair I'll give Obama credit where credit is due: at least he had mostly clean hands going into the white house. Don't get me wrong, he is a race-baiting clown, but at least he never KILLED anyone.... the worst he ever did was smoke a little weed in college (as most people are guilty of anyways)? This woman on the other hand allegedly has a body-count and shady border-line criminal past along with her husband, i have a bad feeling about what she would do with such presidential powers.... how many promininent critics of hers would suddenly "disappear" or "commit suicide" after the election? It's a scary thought and a slippery slope

This woman takes the worst elements of Bush and Obama (but moreso Bush), combines them, dresses it up under a pantsuit and makeup, and re-packages it all, only 10x worse

Trump is just as much of a "dark politics" guy as Cankles. I'm not for either one of them. Trump and men like him don't get to be billionaires in a vacuum. He's got a long shady history of backroom deals and buying political favors, hell, he gave money to the Clintons over the years.

This election cycle is like voting for the turd that smells the least, and not really sure which is worse.

Agree. Obama was Bush-light in regards to foreign policy and economic globalism but he accepted the pay off when he start advocating for TPP. Hillary is Bush-heavy on foreign policy and globalism.

Bottom line thanks to Democrat voters the globalist win again.
