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

He's a total sack of shit

Trump has the best surrogates

edit: lol he deleted it. The bottom tweet which is now broken was Trump surrogate Roger Stone telling Robert Costa to "blow it out his ass".

David duke has Twitter? This is where they should realize how blurry the line gets on who they censor and don't. How is duke allowed and milo isn't? I get duke isn't causing raids but still

Milo wasn't "censored" for his views. He was banned for causing problems with other users. It gets much, much worse than Duke on Twitter.

Trump winning against Clinton means democracy is well and alive. It would definitely be a win for Democracy and against political dynasties.
There is really no reason for Hilary to be even close to the Democratic nomination if it wouldn't be for her husband and her political influence.
All the stuff that went on with Sanders also doesn't scream democracy to me.

Trump on the other hand won against the elite the Republicans had to offer and won in a landslide beside the Republicans trying to sabotage him.
That is a clear win for democracy, even if you dont agree with Trump.

If more people vote for Trump, that's a win for democracy, but if more people vote for Clinton (as they did in the primary), that's undemocratic? WTF? "Democracy" = "the outcome I want" to too many people.

Embarrassed when either gets elected.

With Trump I'll hope that our system remembers how it was intended to work and keeps him in check. I also hope he brings in great people (the best) to surround him (but no Dick Cheneys).

With Clinton I think we're kind of fucked.
She's too prepared and slimy to let anything get in the way of her agenda.

Yep. If Trump wins, Republicans in Congress will totally stand up against his plans to reverse emission standards, progress on green energy, and repeal financial regulations, while blocking his attempts to cut taxes for the rich. But if Clinton wins, she'll use her evil powers to get tax increases for the rich, reduce emissions, and make college more affordable, etc. You're smart and really know what is important to Republicans.

We need a new version for this thread, guys.

Well I obviously think we're screwed either way. The concerns with trump that have everybody spreading fear are about his ability to fling nukes at people on a whim and his environmental standards.

I'm hoping if that disaster wins, Congress performs their Constitutional duty.


But lol @ emission standards being an issue when your candidate is pro -fracking. And while Clinton isn't likely to use nukes (either?), she certainly has a higher chance of starting or escalating a war. And Bill believes corporations pay too much in taxes. I'm sure their isn't a continental divide between he and Hillary in that issue. Then there are her pro-Wall Street and pro-TPP issues issues and the faux college position she adopted to counter Bernie.

Neither candidate is bringing progressive issues to the table. The good thing about Clinton is, we know this. The "scarey" thing about Trump is we don't.

Damn the @. Sign is OP af

Yeah, the current GOP Congress is so noble and so concerned with the environment and working people that it's a safe bet that they'll stand up to Trump, even at the expense of infuriating their base and donors and going against their own publicly stated beliefs. You know those guys really well.

I suppose you're unfamiliar with the platform and her record and don't care about getting things right so it's a waste to point out all the problems with this.

You think Congress will go along with him launching a nuke on Rosie O'Donnel?

Well her record is that of a necon, her history is pro-Wall Street and pro-"free trade", and she is pro-fracking.



but hide behind her "platform"
