Of course, it's perfectly OK to pander to the belief, common among the lower ranks of the Democrats' "captive clientele" that "rich Republican billionaires" have a huge stash of cash in vaults somewhere, which "Bernie" Sanders and Co. could easily seize and redistribute.

In fact, most of the wealth that the Democrats have taught their Pavlovian clientele to envy is in the hands of tax-exempt institutions. So any tax burden created by the Lefties will wind up in the laps of struggling, upward-mobility-seeking two-career families -- a lot of whom are wise to the shell game pushed by the Cult of the Jackass (but can't do much about it because they're outnumbered by Obama's and the Clintons' legions).

Both sides have pointing, grunting embarrassments within their fold; the difference is that the crew in Left Field has much better access to the machinery and numbers necessary to carry out their fantasies (Or at least, make it appear so).

Then can we agree the guy is a dope?

And there are a bunch of youtube videos of Hillary supporters agreeing with Trump policies when they are told they are Hillary's. Low information voters abound.

Swindled.
Swindle is the middle name of the CON MAN. Deplorables are backing the right candidate.

What about the guy who said Bill Clinton has AIDS and got it from fooling around with Magic Johnson? AIDS, who knows, but getting it from Magic Johnson?!

Yeah there are low-info voters on both sides. Very sad.

No wonder Trump loves the uneducated.
Just because he wasnt president @ the time doesnt mean he didnt have anything to do with 9.11!! (He was still very much in the picture)



Obama/Osama -- Doesnt that seem strange to you?? (Some say they are THE SAME PERSON and "Osama" didnt ever exist)


"Osama" was just created to create fear amoung the american people.... (Allowing them to advance thier agendas)

Did you watch the video? It's not a "theory" that Obama was or was not POTUS during 9-11, he wasn't. That's not an unanswered question, it's a fact. Further, the nitwits who insist that there is a difference between two identical photos of Clinton, one supposedly being a body double. Moron city. Good God, the stupid is deep with these people.

These people are creepy dangerous.
The only thing that scares me more is what these people will do if Trump wins the election. Will it be payback time for all the years they had to sit on their hands under Obama? Will it be open season on liberals and progressives? Will they set fire to all the houses of worship that aren't Christian? Will there be roaming bands of young, out of work Trumpsters, beating the crap out of anybody not making America Great Again? Will they send all progressives to reeducation camps?
The possibilities are too bleak to contemplate.
I find comments spouting such misinformed nonsense a lot scarier than any twisted scenario dreamed up by the "never Trump" crowd.

Absolutely true. Lots of people go and vote with no information whatsoever. Seems that this is more common among the Trump devotees, though. When you look at the demographics of Clinton supporting states versus Trump supporting states, it's no coincidence that the most poorly educated areas are in the Trump camp. Most highly educated states are strongly Clinton.

I posted this a while back but a good time to show it again.

Here's a list of the 15 states most solidly behind Trump (in order of support) and their education rank (out of 50).

1) Wyoming 38th
2) North Dakota 48th
3) West Virginia 49th
4) Oklahoma 44rd
5) Kentucky 32rd
6) Alabama 40th
7) Idaho 42cd
8) Tennessee 39th
9) Indiana 37th
10) Louisiana 47th
11) South Dakota 45th
12) Montana 36th
13) Arkansas 50th
12) Kansas 18th
13) Utah 26th
14) Nebraska 29th
15) Montana 36th

Here's a list of the 15 states most solidly behind Clinton (in order of support) and their education rank (out of 50).

1) Maryland 2cd
2) Hawaii 20th
3) Vermont 6th
4) California 14th
5) Massachusetts 1st
6) New York 5th
7) Oregon 15th
8) Washington 13th
9) New Jersey 7th
10) Illinois 9th
11) Delaware 11th
12) New Mexico 16th
13) Connecticut 3rd
14) Rhode Island 10th
15) New Hampshire 12th

First of all, thank you for your service to our nation. I have nothing but the greatest respect for our military, and especially those that are combat veterans. I value their opinions more than anyone else during this election year - for example, the speech that General John Allen made at the Democratic convention. If you have not seen it:

I share your fears; right now, this country is divided in ways that we have not seen since the Civil War. We have never had this level of intolerance of opposing opinions; when does it cross the line from some anonymous confrontation on a blog/forum/Twitter to real violence? I think there are some darker days to come for us regardless of the outcome of the election.
