I'd love to see the list, if there is one, of the Democrats who won't support Hillary. She, like Trump, should not be POTUS and is an embarrassment to our system.
Yes the Clinton Robots.


But shame on those folks who is not following the will of the people. Trump beat 17 other GOP Candidates far and square. Just like the Dem's the republican establishment probably had their man, but the voters has a different idea!

They aren't all anti-Trump for the purpose of integrity. Some are, certainly. But many are anti-Trump just because he makes them look stupid. Bearing in mind, I'm not saying that this is a good thing. He may make them look stupid, but it's not a testament to how great Trump is.

And I agree, neither Clinton nor Trump should be president. Though for different reasons.

So tell me, how many people did Hillary beat out to get her nomination?


Oh I forgot it had to be rigged to assure a win.

He's saying whatever he thinks will get him attention and traction and will abandon it whenever it's no longer working for him.
There is only one thing Trump cares about. The care and feeding of Trump's ego.




Actually he has been speaking to this and related items for a couple of decades now.

Because he backs our police, and asks people to stop running from cops, bad mouthing cops and rioting, burning down your own neighborhoods?
Hmmmmmm, I don't believe that is racist.

But do believe that is looking out for ones country.
We have every nationality from every other country in our country illegally, which is dangerous....
Trump doesn't believe in anything, but his own reflection in the mirror.

He cares about the idea of being president, not actually being a president.

What the GOP has on it's hands is an internal war. Corporations vs the people. All the R politicians who're bought and paid for by the corporations are rejecting Trump & embracing Hillary because the corporations can't call the shots if Trump wins, but they absolutely will if Hillary wins.

The Democrats came close to breaking the stranglehold of the corporations with Bernie Sanders' popularity, but the rigging & tampering by the corporate wing of the Democratic Party squashed the will of the people & left the party with the corporate chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton.




Ergo, Hillary supporters favor the Establishment, Corporate interference and influence, and the corruption of her herself and that of her cohorts.


They know full well what she is so there is no excuse, they must smile kindly on the above as being behind her is directly indicative of that.
