Tell us what is so horrible about "these" people as you call them? I am one who can't stand Trump as a person from what I know but I don't vote of personality. I didn't support Carter but I thought he was a nice person.
Please let us all know your reasoning if you have one?

It’s not about hating Trump; it’s about hating what he’s doing to our country. We need to ensure we take control and change the trajectory of our nation.

Frankly, deplorables need to be sent back to the gutters.

Nazis, white nationalists, and the like are feeling quite empowered in our nation right now. It’s scary as hell! Maybe it doesn’t impact you, but it does many others.

That’s not to mention misogynists, abusers, and others of that ilk. These people are running the nation, and we can’t go on like this.

Deplorables, as HRC called them.

Beyond that, Trump is just a big idiot, and he is destroying our standing and reputation.

If you’re cool with that, I expect you to keep supporting him. And, honestly, my thread isn’t directed at you, anyway. (I’m not saying you can’t post. I’m just saying I am not targeting you.)

Because YAY DEMOCRATS!!!!! GO TEAM!!!!!! GO BLUE!!!!!!

Politics are PATHETIC. Voters are ignorant of many, many, MANY things.
I think they want another Obama, a man who frees Terrorists, uses a billion dollars In cruise missiles, call's American killing Terrorists "work place violence", kills 2000 American servicemen in Afganistan during his surge there, all after winning a Nobel prize. Nary a word out of the Democratic press while this Demigod rules the roost. And the vast majority of Democrats would vote for him again Thank god we have a much more peaceful man in the white house.

Is Cali Doll actually a Trump supporter in disguise, like the accusers of the blind man?

She seems to be making all the right arguments, the like ones that convinced independents in droves to elect Bill Clinton's wife.

Or simply trying the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result?

Isn't there a term for that?

My Democratic Primary Candidate (Sanders) did not win in 2016. I switched to Hillary because I did not want Trump as President.It's called a NEGATIVE vote. I am a Native New Yorker. We/me know him WELL. Having voted since 1971, I know that voting Third Party is only an indirect vote for the one of the Majority Candidates.

I will do the same in 2020 if my favored Democratic candidate does not win the Primary. You could not pay me a million dollars to ever vote for "our" Donald.

Ha Ha. It is ABSOLUTELY because you hate Trump. Look, morally Bill Clinton was (is) a pig, but I voted for him twice because I thought he had some good ideas for the country. The fact is that things have gotten better in this country because of Trump's leadership. Lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in HISTORY, lowest female unemployment in decades, a thriving economy, the most people ever employed in the HISTORY of our country, trade deals renegotiated in OUR favor for a change, record stock market highs and I could go on. THAT'S what he's doing to our country. I know he's a jerk sometimes, but he has also been embattled by half the country and 99% of the media since his first day in office. I know he doesn't have that soft, squishy feeling like Obama and I guess you liked that, but if you were ever able to look at things OBJECTIVELY, he's doing a pretty good job so far.

I am very confident that the Democratic candidate will not be worse than Trump. Could it happen? I highly doubt it. Let's say that they put up someone who held rallies where they lied, admitted to assaulting women, was accused of rape by a teenager, couldn't string together sentences better than your average 8-year-old, and was the laughingstock of the world. In that case, I guess I would stay home, because what difference would it make? I'd be choosing between Trump and some weird Trump clone.

Otherwise, though, I'll be voting blue.

GO TEAM!!
