I feel similarly.

I'm already in my "bug out" residence, cranking up my agricultural skills (and shooting skills). Getting ready for the Economic Bubble Collapse due in the next 3 years.

Oh, location not in lower 48, or in 49 for that matter.

Hillary= More endless wars. She's a globalist war hawk criminal and will feel like she has something to prove (being an old unhealthy, cranky woman and all) and we'll keep meddling in the Middle East and knocking on Russia's front door. More cronyism, shady deals, lying and wars, no thanks. I still don't understand how people can look at her and not see pure evil in her eyes. While trump may be a narcissistic "buffoon" and off his rocker in some ways, I don't get the pure evil vibe from him.

I don't think trump is our savior by any means but at least he'll try to shake things up a bit. I also believe he will be able to give us a chance at some peace, especially with Russia, although I'm not holding my breath. He'll also keep the news interesting for the next four years. Either way, I'll be living the dream as free as I possible can, no matter who wins.

Obama did come after guns. He just wasn't successful.

Criminal - one who has committed a crime

GWB DUI
Bush pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI charge, paid a $150 fine, and had his driving privileges briefly revoked in the state of Maine.

Dear lord, among all of the issues that are relevant to electing a president, I don't think laws about the sale or transfer of ARs or background check laws are particularly important. No one is coming to take your guns, anyway. I'd say there are at least 100 issues more important than this.

I can't see Trump spending more than the current regime has. That spending program hasn't slowed real inflation.

There might be a lot of good reasons to vote for a criminal. Imagine one candidate has been convicted of a relatively minor crime, but the other is completely incompetent, shows almost no relevant knowledge, doesn't seem to understand which issues are important and which are not, panders to some of the worst parts of society and generally seems unfit to be president. Is the fact that he has not been convicted of a crime enough to outweigh all of the other marks? My answer is no.

obamacare did nothing but make medical insurance more expensive. it was a crock.

the only things that obamacare did was make more money for medical insurance companies, and to add another level of bureaucracy in the government.

obamacare is nothing but a crock.

I just noticed something as well, another 1 poster troll again.
I have a chronic illness that is quite expensive to treat. Before Obamacare, I couldn't get insurance. At all. At any price. My condition was an automatic exclusion. I am self-employed in a small business (that employs others, btw.) What were my options? Give up my business so I could get a job working for a company with benefits or not get treatment. That doesn't seem like a good decision to force people to make, and I don't think it's selfish of me to say that this consideration is more important than the consideration you presented, particularly considering that if your premiums are that high, you are earning a good income.

Haven't similar historical predictions taught you anything? People like you were everywhere in 2008 and 2009, but even the greatest recession since the great depression didn't produce the "economic bubble collapse" you speak of. Take off the tinfoil hat.

The progressives are progressively setting up their dominoes. They know that if they come on too strong, make too many power-grabs too quickly, that there will be a backlash against them.

In many ways Trump's popularity is a small backlash against the ever quickening march of PC fascism which is oddly presented to the masses as "tolerance".

1. I think you are correct about political correctness being a big issue in this election. That is a shame, however. First, how much of an impact does the president have of political correctness? Political correctness is not a function of laws; it is a function of what society in general views as acceptable and unacceptable. More importantly, in the realm of what is important and is not important, political correctness doesn't even deserve consideration when deciding who to vote for.

2. I think trump's popularity is overblown. He likely won the primary because there were too many candidates from the beginning. He had relatively small support when everyone had lots of choices. Had there been a straight election between Bush and Trump or even possibly Rubio and Trump, Trump would have lost. Moreover, Trump isn't particularly popular so far in the general. He has ranged from polling at a large deficit to Hillary to (for a very short period) a small advantage on Hillary. For the most part, though, he has been behind. He is still slightly behind, and in the primaries he under-performed on election day relative to polls. Statistically, he is probably about as popular as Mitt Romney, who in today's highly-polarized political climate is remembered as being moderately unpopular. Considering the rise of third-party candidates this year, though, one could probably make a strong argument that Trump is one of the least-popular general election candidates in recent memory. He has an ardent base, but they aren't particularly big. Many of his voters will inevitably be people who do not like him but dislike Hillary more.
