Exactly my point. Trump supporters took time off of school and work to spend the day at a rally. Same with Sanders supporters.

Both candidates are untrustworthy, potentially dangerous, and have major flaws. And many voters are voting against the other and not for the candidate they are standing behind, the typical lesser of two evils thought process.

It's a sad election cycle. It was pathetic watching the GOP through this whole thing being so idiotic and inept to have it get to this. It was a foregone conclusion Hillary would be at this stage, but the republicans had a ton of useless choices.

Right now, if anyone is really watching and listening to Trump, I find it hard to swallow that they would be 100% behind him sitting in the oval office. That isn't ajoke, and it's the most powerful political office in the world even with all of the global laughter be pointed in this direction.
I am. My main sticking point on Trump is I can't trust him on trade and immigrant policy. How can we trust a guy who used contractors who hired illegal immigrants, used Chinese steel over Pittsburgh steel, hired H1-b visa workers because "Americans didn't want to work at those wages" and used foreign factories for his Macy's clothing line. And don't give me the "Well he played the game but now he's serious" he because I don't buy it.

Wouldn't be the first time California surprises the country. California voters passed Prop 8, which banned gay marriage.

Hey if you want to vote for Hillary who thinks this of Blacks and Muslims wow. In the email from February of this year Hillary states that:

“The main reason behind successful immigration should be painfully obvious to even the most dimwitted of observers: Some groups of people are almost always highly successful given only half a chance (Jews*, Hindus/Sikhs and Chinese people, for example), while others (Muslims, blacks** and Roma***, for instance) fare badly almost irrespective of circumstances.”

The biggest group of humanity can be found somewhere between those two extremes – the perennial overachievers and the professional never-do-wells.

Yes, you read that right; Hillary believes that black people are “professional never-do-wells” incapable of success irrespective of the opportunities they’re given.

Or maybe they didn't have to . . . .

I agree about Trump's and Sander's rally attendance as compared to Hillary's puny attendance.

Yet she got 3.5 million more votes than Sanders and 2.5 million more than Trump in the primaries.

Go figure. Maybe, just maybe, there is no correlation.

Well, there were robust primary process and the two skunks emerged as winners. You can't draft a political candidate in this country, you pick from what's offered.

I agree. If the dems turn out in "Obama numbers", Trump will lose for sure. If there is a very poor turnout for dem voters, then Trump may have a chance.


I really do not see how anyone can predict the elections, particularly in a close race. There may be more Hillary email "bombshells" that reveal more and more of her true persona (which people hate). There may be, on the other hand, some 20 year old tape recording of Trump saying something terrible about women.


Given the media bias, any negatives about Trump will be reported and expanded 10X any negative information about Hillary. That is certainly not in Trump's favor.
