I agree that Sanders seems to be an alternative, which is probably why people prefer Trump to him. Many people don't like real changes, especially in the US.

Because she has this new thing where she opens her mouth like a guppy when she does the fake smile thing. I just wish this creepy woman would go away.

Here are a few more reasons why I won't vote for her:

1) I don't vote for people who bark like a dog. It is embarrassing to me to have a candidate that shows such poor judgement.

2) More evidence of her link with Wall Street....

Ummmm....

You do realize that Hillary Clinton use to be on the Board of Directors for Walmart from 1986 to 1992. She only left, because her husband won the presidency. She was given $100,000 of stock that was put into her trust and is worth over $1,000,000 today. She had this stock when she claimed to be "dead broke" when leaving the White House.....making her so much more relateable to the lemmings.

Will Democrats be able to effectively play the Walmart is evil card, after they elect Hillary Rodham-Walmart-Clinton to the White House?


P.S. About a third of Walmart Stock is owned by pensions...pensions that help middle class workers. Part of the rest is owned by stock funds inside of middle class IRAs and 401Ks.

We, i.e. the West, have no monopoly on a good life, others will eventually catch up, and we will go down a bit. And that's OK. What goes up must come down. Nothing grows forever in a closed system such as Earth.

It's not that there is not enough money in countries such as the US. But greed and egoistic priorities and goals lead to a very unfair distribution of wealth. Look at companies such as McDonalds or Walmart. Employees don't earn much, but the owners, shareholders and officers are filthy rich. That is the kind of system Trump stands for, Americans are naive if they think electing Trump will help the masses.

Nor can a country simply close its borders to products from abroad. There are trade organizations and contracts that prevent that. Not to mention that other countries would start to do the same, which would backfire on the US.
Again, you miss the point.

Again, you miss the point. This time by a city block and country mile.

Trump and Sanders complement each other beautifully, they should be president and vice-president.

It is the single same power group, with its two hands, impeding the way of both.

And that's why you see now even some so-called republicans starting to openly support Hillary.

Her stance on banning guns worries me a lot.

More reasons may be coming sooner: DOJ reportedly grants immunity to former State Dept staffer in Clinton email probe | Fox News

With any luck, her days in campaigning are close to an end!

Still, more than half of Walmart is owned by "the Waltons"
I don't know of Clinton's involvement with that company, nor do I think that it matters to voters.
