I've always voted, I usually even vote in the primaries.
It saddens me greatly that these two clowns are who we get to choose from.
I would so jump on the bandwagon of a non-insane independent candidate.

It is funny because what got me back on the Trump/Hitler topic was my comment about wife's FB and the liberals she knows who play that card. My wife pointed out the same thing I did about FDR and no one challenged her. What they did do was make derogatory comments like the one above and some unfriended her.

I have no alter anything. Maybe if you would answer threads that have been reported because someone is calling people fucking idiots people wouldn't respond like this. Don't pretend people on this forum aren't discussing things in private messages when there appears to be a double standard depending on who the posters are because there are several of us who are doing so. Now, go ahead an card me again so I can be banned. You quick to do it this morning when Kate's post has been reported for several days with nothing done.

Heard a great Trump joke the other day:
Both of his wives were immigrants. Guess that proves there really are some jobs that immigrants will do that Americans won't.

When attacking his politics doesn't work, go for the personal and the weird. No one cares and attacks seem to make him more popular.
Renowned Death Hag
The Clinton and Sanders' camps can't seem to comprehend that he's getting support because we're sick of politics as usual, most especially their history of these types of attacks.

Don't know what election you all have been following, but all Trump has DONE for the last year is make mean-spirited irrelevant personal attacks on his opponents. If that's "politics as usual," Trump is the most usual of them all. Honestly personal attacks have been the backbone of Trump's campaign. I would write the equation as:
Trump's campaign = personal attacks on his opponents + appeals to bigotry against brown people + vague bullshit about "making America great again"
In contrast to, say, claiming that it was "disgusting" that Clinton had to use the facilities, the "John Miller" story is perfectly relevant, in that it speaks to character, or the lack thereof. (I could also point out the story didn't come from Clinton's or Sanders' camps, but why don't we just PRETEND I did that, and got the obligatory, tired "liberal media" response.)
IMO voting for someone because they're "not a politician" makes about as much sense as having a random person off the street perform surgery on you, because you're sick of all those "medical insiders."
But in the interest of equal time, I am including a statement from a Trump supporter:

Renowned Death Hag
I get what you are saying about the personal attacks and I see the hypocrisy of myself pointing that out but I have to disagree on this statement above. A doctor performing surgery is not analogous at all to a politician politicing (I might have made up that word). The founding fathers meant for politicians to come out of every day society, serve a term or two and then get out so someone else can have a go. It wasn't meant to be the career that it has become. Reason being was to avoid what happens today. Politicians saying whatever they need to in order to stay in power and then giving whatever they need to to those who paid to get them there.
Whether you like him, hate him or otherwise no one can deny that he is outside of that. Does that make for a better candidate? Who knows but at the very minimum it explains his appeal. As for the Trump supporters statement, won't even read it. There are knuckleheads all over the place voting for every candidate. Trying to get a Sanders supporter to explain how you can get all the free stuff while making others pay for is like asking a toddler to explain calculus.
Renowned Death Hag
Me either.
I figure at this point that I vote for Hillary or I don't vote. My head's still spinning over it.
I voted against Bill Clinton twice back in the day. Damn but he's looking pretty Presidential by comparison right now. I'd be thrilled to have him as an option now.

These aren't really protesters at all, just thugs looking for an excuse to get crazy. These people are actually helping Trump by drawing the line that says your either one of them (Trump supporter), or one of us.
It is also note worthy that you see a lot of flags at these protests. Black Lives Matter flags, rainbow flags, Mexican flags, everything but the American flag.

Not everyone.
Look, who knows how this will end up. So many factors are involved such as who he surrounds himself with and whether he listens to their suggestions. You don't get to where he is in business by surrounding yourself with yes men/women. You build a team of people who are experts in their fields and you listen to them, then go from there.
That's Obama's biggest flaw. I believe Obama believed Obamacare would lower premiums because he believed the knucklehead who was only willing to tell him what he wanted to hear. After that, he refused to believe the reality as it happened and has the audacity to defend it because despite what the numbers say, his people told him it would work so of course it works.
It's like Hillary's College Plan. It will cost 350 Billion over 10 years and she'll pay for it by limiting certain deductions. The reality is that we have a debt of 19 Trillion dollars and that means your not paying for shit. The 350 Billion will just add to that which means the same kids it is meant to help, will end up inheriting the debt anyway. It is either one of two things. Either no one explained what I just said or she knows and thinks that the people are too stupid to realize she's robbing Peter to pay Peter.
Senior Death Hag
You all do know that we've lost the ability to protect traffic in the South China Sea (and, as a consequence, countries bordering it) during Obama the ward heeler's term in office, that the Chinese are now in control of that area? So, I'm sure some wag here will say "Duh, it is the 'South China Sea', so I guess they have a right to it." Yeah, right, genius, depend on a government that has no freedom of press and see how far that argument gets you. Anyone here that voted for that former and continuing recruiter of illegal votes deserves what's coming should Hillary, his controlled copy, succeed him.

In an interview today, Stephen Hawking (brilliant guy, IMO) remarked that Trump was a demagogue who apparently appeals to the lowest common denominator. In spite of being able to understand and explain some of the most complex concepts ever imagined; Hawking cannot understand the popularity of Trump.
In Trump's defense however; Hawking did say that Trump is not the biggest danger in the world - he labeled human induced climate change as having that distinction.
I'm guessing he was just talking about the long term there.

On the other hand; the North Koreans seem to think that Trump is a pretty swell guy:

I've learned that brilliance in one field of expertise doesn't translate to brilliance in another. Hawking is as qualified to speak intelligently on american politics as Kaley Cuoco is on the behavioral expectations of the lowland gorilla IMO. As far as North Korea is concerned, they view the lack of Trump's political experience as a position of weakness. I see it as a strength.
Renowned Death Hag
Who actually even gives a crap what he thinks? Honestly, he can't vote and his country is being over run with people seeking free benefits. Not to mention the terrorist threats that will be taking over this summer. Seems to me he should be worried about the UK.

I don't particularly care about his opinion either - I just happen to agree with it. I think he'll be proven correct. Anyway, he didn't just decide to up and offer that insight - he was specifically asked about it during an interview for whatever reason.
Expertise comes from acquired knowledge; brilliance can't be learned. Now I have to be misinterpreting your comment. It sounds almost like you're saying that Hawking's lack of political knowledge and experience render his comment to be without merit; but Trump's lack of political knowledge and experience render him a good candidate for the highest political office in the land; maybe in the world.
I think the North Koreans "like" him because he apparently said that he'll pull our troops out of the South. I think Hawking just sees him for what he is.
We all have our opinions for whatever reasons we chose to hold them.

Being a member of the elite, he could be forgiven for not comprehending working class angst, and even if he could, he'd likely be indifferent.
Renowned Death Hag
I'll have to choose my words more carefully in the future but I think you know where I was headed on the Hawking comment. We wants to talk space and physics, I'll listen all day long. He wants to talk politics or religion, I'm not interested. As far as Trump is concerned, he's the least "qualified" candidate in the race. I just think that might be exactly what we need. Being a professional politician is far different from the worthy statesmen of old.
Renowned Death Hag
If Trump is elected and does a good job, it will be interesting to see if people start voting out professional politicians. I think
Trump's popularity is showing the establishment that we're stick and tired of politicians.
