    but its not even about voting for trump for a lot of people. its voting against hillary. gary & the other independent candidates are just going to split up the vote

    imo she showed terrible temperament with the email thing.

    i dont really care. this forum is filled with hillary apologists, the email thing looks terrible no matter how you slice it. That statement from Director Comey was brutal - said that if someone else were to do the things that Hillary did, then they would be indicted. Ridiculous.

    I feel like you're upssed with her. Like the needy guy that says "f--- dat b----" because she refused to love and accept him.

    umm, she didn't show terrible "temperament" there -- she showed bad judgement (if you call it anything). You understand the difference? No one is investigating Hillary's email to see if she was in a bad mood.

    People are questioning Trump's temperament because what he says and does publicly raises serious questions about his capacity to serve. Like, beyond the usual "well, I disagree with Mitt Romney so f--- him." Romney easily could've served as president, McCain too. Trump is different, and you (and others like you -- including @blair ) need to recognize what's actually at stake here. There's a reason why legions of prominent GOPers are either avoiding Trump, or outright endorsing HRC: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics...s-stand-on-donald-trump-a-cheat-sheet/481449/

    not gonna vote for corruption m8. that means abstaining from this election most likely. voting for trump would just be a vote against hillary. f--- her. its not just her policy. its her dishonesty, the scandals, constant lying, pandering, terrible record and flip flopping. the funny thing is you can say a lot of that about trump as well. two corrupt s--- heads. except how hillary handled bengazi and how she compromised sensitive data on her private server is worse than a lot of what trump did. she is the epitome of whats wrong with politics in this country

    I think you should vote for her over Trump. He's unprecedented, honestly. A pandering politician who flip flops - SAY IT AIN'T SO.

    The country will be far more stable, and successful under Clinton. Trump can't even run his own convention. So yeah -- stay home and don't vote. But I think the responsible thing is to vote for her. Many Republicans are.

    i dont think its responsible to vote for her at all. she doesnt line up with my views whatsoever. she favors interventionist policies. She is corrupt and Trump is an unknown quantity. He might be better than we anticipate, which would be hilarious but I would rather roll the dice with Trump than vote for her.

    See, that's not a sophisticated view. I'm not denying you should think that way, but I truly don't understand how someone can be soooo critical of her (over emails lol) -- but Trump, who is wholly untested, crude, vain and just generally an ignoramus overgrown spoiled rich kid.... that's fine.

    re: interventionist, Trump doesn't have a record (at all), but based off Pence and the speakers yesterday, are you that sure he's going to change anything? Trump=a weakened presidency. trust me. With him in the White House, that means the congress will have an enhanced role in world affairs... do you think Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are doves?

    So, for that reason and many others, it's absolutely safer/smarter to choose her over Trump... even if you're republican. The only reason conservatives are reluctant is that they've been trained for 30 years to despise her. (once again, i encourage you to think for yourself a bit, get over the lame cliche talking points and rethink your stances.)

    Nah i dont like or care about paul ryan or mcconnell or any of the republicans. the democrats have proven to be just as bad in many cases. I'm not a republican or even conservative. If anything I fall more into the libertarian philosophy with socially liberal views, but again not even a 100% libertarian. Why would I not be critical over the emails? why wouldnt you be? Its a big deal what she's done. But you disagree, and you think what Trump has done is somehow worse. I think the way she handled Bengazhi also was disgusting.

    You apparently are missing the entire appeal of trump if you find those things to be negative. i dont really care about any of that. Trump gives off the impression that hes speaking "from the heart" when hes just spewing barbaric s--- that his supporters will eat up. and that to me is better than Clinton's sugar coated BS pandering to black folk, muslims and hispanics, making minorities feel like they have all become victimized, all of this s--- adds up and it doesnt add up with her record and the way she has actually treated minorities. I like that he's disrupting the whole political arena attempting to stop an establishment, corrupt politician like clinton from getting into office.

    Trump's lack of a record is better than Clinton's s--- record.

    Yeah theres a reason that many conservatives dont like trump. Because he speaks out against TPP, he has some liberal views, he hates nafta, illegal immigration & amnesty, because hes not actually religious, because he openly s----s on all sorts of republican leaders & icons from george dubya to mitt romney to john mccain, there are tons of reasons the establishment on both sides of the coin hate him.. hes a disruptor.

    lol @Lamont if you're actually "libertarian philosophy with socially liberal views" you should vote for Johnson/Weld. People with an actual governing record. If you believe Trump is a real "disruptor," you're a sap, I'm sorry. A fool. I understand why twits see an appeal in him... trust me, I get it. But he's just a foolish, lucky rich egomaniac. Look at what he's done this week, or throughout his campaign.

    Yes, hrc has a record. she has blemishes. I think you're grossly overstating the emails. and Benghazi (which has been vetted to death, pardon the pun. there's nothing there. it's over..). Again: you're falling for some pretty dumb bait about "changing the system"... think about what would ACTUALLY happen with trump in charge. how old are you btw? where do you live?
