lol. What a poor excuse for being in the minority! Now I've heard it all!!!
Clue: I'm female. I'm voting for Trump.
Ditto. Word of advice to all you Clinton supporters, don't believe everything you hear in the media, they are steering you wrong. The silent majority will speak on election day, and whether it's for the better or worse, their collective voices will be heard.
1) Lets give you that climate change is man made.....explain how Hillary's proposals will change anything and how the rest of the world will follow against their best interests? and how much Hillary's proposals will cost the taxpayers?
Hillary wants to transition the US off of energy sources like coal and onto renewables. Her plan aims to produce 30% of our energy from renewable sources by 2027. Moreover, she supports international agreements like the Paris deal. Many other countries, such as China, are already aggressively reducing emissions. I don't think it's correct to say it is in their best interests to ignore this issue. The threat from climate change is real, and it's in all of our best interests to take it seriously.

Study after study has shown that illegal immigration doesn't drive down wages. In fact, the study I linked to in my last post says it boosts wages.

NAFTA and TPP are complex. They shift US jobs from industries that can be done cheaply overseas to industries that cannot. This drives down the cost of products in the US. They do also remove jobs from middle class workers, however. The question is whether there are replacement jobs available. I think economists are divided on this issue, so I don't take a strong stance on it either way.

you are confusing illegal immigration with legal. Illegal immigration affects the poor Americans which also affects blacks and Latinos] Americans.

If you are middle class and lower class then NAFTA and TPP are not good for you.

How would reducing greenhouse gas emissions -- the cause of climate change -- not reduce climate change?

No, I'm not. Study after study has shown that illegal immigration does not hurt American wages or job prospects except for those who are high school dropouts.

Possibly. Possibly not. Economists don't agree on this topic.
Facts are, you are in the minority unless polling methods are entirely broken...
