He was not aware of that fact and is now for Biden. No self respecting veteran would ever vote for a draft-dodger.

In this republican state there was a flood of Trump for president flags, bumper stickers, etc. in 2016, and yet this year you can count them on one hand. After the failed leadership of Trump to address Covid 19 resulting in massive deaths and loss of jobs across the country many residents here are done with Trump. Many say they are not voting for Biden but instead voting against Trump. No matter, Biden will get the vote.

Trump lies, people die.


Trump lies, people die. Now that's orginal.............

I'm a veteran and I have numerous veteran friends, most who did their initial active duty commitment and left. My wife is retired army, and I have two other friends who retired after full army careers. None of the veterans I know use VA medical care. Aside from veterans who have debilitating injuries/health issues from military duty/combat, I think it's safe to say most veterans who are encountering health issues that are common with advanced age utilize VA healthcare because they can't afford regular civilian health care.

Biden received draft deferments until he finished his higher education. Then he was declared ineligible for military service because of asthma. Bill Clinton also got draft deferments during his education, then joined, but never participated in ROTC. Once he got his high draft number (311) he dropped out of the ROTC program. Bill Clinton helped organize anti-war demonstrations. But technically, he wasn't a draft dodger. I'm a self respecting veteran (never saw combat) and I will vote for Trump.......again. - Peace out

Trump may have his faults but I feel that casting a vote for Creepy Uncle Joe Biden or any other Democrat is voting for the ultimate dismantling of America.

What has happened to the Democrat party? They have become a collection of bitter unhappy hypocrites and given their ridiculous schemes for our future they are a danger to America especially with the media supporting them.



What is really crazy is that what they accuse Trump of doing they have done themselves from quid pro Joe to Russian collusion.



Biden and the Dems don't deserve to win anything. It would be like rewarding a screaming full meltdown, throwing a tantrum, because they didn't get their way brat with ice cream.
Pot, meet kettle.

Center-right here. No, I won't be voting for Biden: (1) he's low-IQ and (2) the rabble that follows any Democratic candidate (lazy people who blame working people/white men/Christians for their problems and who demand free stuff) is not appealing to me.

So I am an independent voter in spirit (but a registered democrat). I voted for Obama twice and then I voted for Trump. I don't like any of our choices and think I'm just going to stay home in November. I still agree with a lot of Trump's ideas, but I'm getting tired of seeing Trump being his own worst enemy and the in-fighting.

I'm also not excited about Biden - he hasn't really told us anything about his plans either, other than "I was with Obama when blah, blah, blah...".

After the disaster of Obamacare, which was the main reason I went with Trump in last election ($500 per month for a Silver plan to cover 1 person, and some folks call that a success????), I realized that a President is not going to be able to do much unless the other 2 branches are onboard with the plans. So seeing Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer's response with Covid19, which is to continue the shut down indefinitely and just throw as much money as possible to anyone who asks, no, just, no.

So how many people here can claim their lives have improved since Trump became president? And I mean in measurable ways and not in the your home team has just won the championship subjective kind of way.
