Elections 2016 Presidential Election General Discussion v3

[UpaLoompa]

Just saw a headline from Politico that read "Trump didn't always have a problem with sex tapes" then a summary that included the name Paris Hilton.

Turns out he also was in some soft-core Playboy movie.

Good luck with that.

Let's just add that to the list of illegal Trump activities:

-continually fleeces investors with failed business
-continually rips off his employees
-continually employees illegal immigrants
-frequently charged with racial discrimination practises
-ran a scam university
-paid off an Attorney General to avoid investigating/litigating him
-continually solicited foreign politicians for campaign funds -- highly illegal
-used money from his charities (several times on outrageous expenditures for himself), had son's charity funnel $1 million to daddy for golf and plastic surgery
-used personal employees for his campaign
-violated international sanctions with Cuba

These are just the activities with legal implications -- I haven't even touched on the scandals that demonstrate he doesn't know shit about shit.

Terrified. He shouldn't take office until January. What has he done to Obama?

 

[badascan]

Apathetic...

 

[Deleted member 429137]

Wrong on that one.

Look at Libya and Honduras as quick examples of the devastation Hurricane Hillary leaves behind.

I agree with Hans. She should directly destroy the lives of Americans, like Trump does.

If HIllary wins:

Spoiler

It's time to get to work! Taking guns, bringing in immigrants and sending Christians to camps!

If Trump wins:

Spoiler

I'm never going to leave my computer.

Indifferent but sort of relieved that we are not in for another 4 years of moving further to the absurd left.

Trump may not be a good candidate but we need to balance things out a little. We have swung too far left. Things are really getting sort of ridiculous.

 

[Romulas]

Trump wins: Adjust portfolio for rising interest rates.
Clinton wins: Leave everything where it is and get ready for more of the last 16 years.

Either way you cunts are fucked. It's a sad indictment of the US that out of 300million ppl the best 2 you can find to fight it out to lead are a caricature of capitalism and a corrupt liar whose view of the world has most certainly been shaped by 2 decades of her husband cheating on her.

They're not even close to "the best 2" we can find. The system is just that flawed, where two people like these would ever be taken seriously. Of course, ignorance, gullibility, and apathy among the general public certainly doesn't help to change that.

 

[Rod1]

I'd say Trump is smart enough to know when to listen to his advisers when it comes to matters he knows nothing about.

I dont expect Trump to last one year until he pisses everyone enough to get impeached.

So the real question is, how good is a Pence presidency going to be.

You wont balance thing by electing what will be possibly the worst president in history under the banner of the right.

When the mess that its going to be Trump's presidency ends, do you honestly think people will want more of that? Bush Jr almost destroys the Republican party, Trump will utterly make it unviable.

Trump, at worst, will just be business as usual for the GOP. Its hilarious this Orwellian view people have of how the country will be if Trump gets elected. His ideas may be radical, but they'd still have to make it through the House and Senate. Most of his more unusual ideas wouldn't become reality anyway.

The president is barely more than a figurehead anyway.

Hillary means more unchecked, uneducated, unskilled migrants. More victim mentality. Trampling of constitutional rights. Personally, I see it as disastrous for the American way of life. If thats not your view, I respect that. Maybe I am seeing the sky falling but I don't see America heading in a direction that I'm proud of right now.

This...I'm preparing myself financially to the effect trump will have on market,economy...this is the first thing that every single trump supporter will see as... "damn we might have been wrong"

Edit "bush jr almost destroyed the Republican Party"

Should be: " bush jr almost destroyed America"

I find myself caught up in the narrative like everyone else occasionally. Then snap back to the realization that everyone has the illusion of choice and that is very appeasing.

Im not scared of Trump, im scared of Mike Pence.

Im not scared of Trump, im scared of Mike Pence.

In all honesty, I know next to nothing about either VP candidate.

Well you should, because Mike Pence will be running the show.

If Trump wins I'll probably have a bit of a laugh, and then look at what I might buy from the US as I expect the dollar to sink a bit under his rule.

If Hillary wins I don't know if I'll have any reaction, good or bad.

One part curious to see the direction he takes, one part worried about it, and one part excited for his shenanigans.
