Who are you implying I'm liking?
I've got no qualms about supporting Clinton this go around. Bernie was interesting, but lacking in a few key departments that couldn't check the boxes for me.
A Clinton presidency - aside from a Sanders presidency - would be one of the most disastrous things we could ever imagine.
Ahh, the great partisan divide. What areas do you feel she'll expand the government?
Like I said, I never said she was my ideal candidate. But Trump to me represents everything that is disgusting about America, and he's not getting my vote. I understand the bad sh#t in her past, but it pales to me to the bad sh#t that I see in Trump's present.
So....you fully support a candidate that, up until this campaign, was a full fledged Democrat and was very outspoken about what a great President Hillary would be.
Umm...Hillary was in charge of one department of the federal government (the state department) and botched that big time. The entire middle east blew up under her watch, she messed up Benghazi and has since been lying about what really happened (including to the families), and has also showed she cannot maintain the confidentiality required of being in such a high profile position (with her use of private email/servers). This is just scraping the surface of how incapable she has been at managing one department, and you think she can run the country?
I've been one of the Conservatives on here that has been pretty outspoken against Trump, but if the choice if between taking a risk on Trump who appears to be a recent convert to Conservatism vs Hillary who used to be a more moderate Democrat that has since moved far to the left, I'm going to take the risk with Trump. We know what we will get (or not get) with Hillary who has been in the political system for 40 years and has little to show for it. To me the biggest failure we have seen with Obama over the past 8 years is his approach to foreign policy, and under his leadership, the middle east has completely blown up, and ISIS has become the most significant terrorist threat we have ever faced. We cannot afford a continuation of these policies which is what we would see with Hillary. She came out and gave her strong support for the Iran deal which was a mess, and now we see the White House walking back what they promised with that deal.
So creating thousands of jobs is less admirable than collecting hundreds of millions through a "non-profit" foundation, much of which came from the Middle East? I can't even fathom how you've spun this in your head.
So, people are upset about the election for the most important position in the country and your conclusion is that they get upset at the drop of the hat over anything? That isn't a logical conclusion. There are things worthy of getting involved in and upset about. The direction our country is headed and who its leader might be are valid things to be invested in.
Trump's crookedness is only one of many reasons I'm not going to vote for him. Hillary is crooked but at least I'm not too worried about her calling a foreign head of state a childish insult, threatening Russia with a nuclear war, or defaulting on the US's debt.
Oh...come on....let's let the self proclaimed "king of debt" spend us into oblivion and then just default on our debt. He is so good at it....why not just let him?
