    hes clearly a disruptor. look at how both the democrats and the republicans react to him. When was the last time a former republican presidential nominee made a speech shi--ing on the leading candidate? It's unprecedented what happened, the sort of backlash. He's clearly anti establishment because both the democrat and republican establishment tried to take him down, and failed. Now Trump is starting to get accepted by the republican establishment, but not completely.

    Yeah I would vote for Gary Johnson if he had a chance of winning but he doesn't. voting for him helps Hillary's chances of winning. Unless Gary is in the debates hes not going to have much of an impact.

    She has a terrible record.

    Terrible record? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Children's_Health_Insurance_Program
    The email scandal is only resonating because it's - again - suchhh a superficial scandal. People understand it: wait this was against the rules? I would be fired doing that! She's the same as me, ISN'T SHE?! But... it's not Watergate. It's not Iran Contra. There's been ZERO proven deaths/or even leaked secrets as a result. It was a lapse in protocol during a period of transition... and now it's over.

    Wait a minute, you want a "disruptor" but you won't even toss a single vote to embolden a third party? k. And yes, dude, he's causing waves, politically/through the media headlines. He's a demagogue populist -- we've seen this before. Wallace (George and Henry), Long. At a certain point, you need to grow up and get over terms like "anti establishment" -- I'm not in middle school listening to Marilyn Manson, ya know? I care about stability and growth, and gradual change -- and, not for nothing, signalling we're capable of electing a female president.

    i'll assume you defer to me on my other points. lib party will only grow if "intelligent" libertarian-leaning independents stop subsidizing an intellecutally brain dead republican party... and actually start showing their independence. i've refusted your points about hrc's supposed corruption. NEXT.

    im sure you're aware of the argument that the better that the independent candidates do, the less votes the major party candidate that is closer to you ideologically will receive (or the candidate that you would pick out of the 2) voting independent is defendable from the stand point of values & principle but it might actually work against the voters' interests.

    Notice that no one really defends Hillary, they just attack Trump instead or say how everyone is making a bigger deal of her transgressions than they should, other people do it too, etc. like that somehow makes it all okay.

    "What about Hillary admitting she got known child rapists off or threatened women who accused her husband of sexual assault or was given a hall pass for breaking the law?"

    "Trump is a racist!"

    Seriously, but it's going to be tough to outdo the craziness of Day 1. What is the "theme" of tonight? Are they going to actually discuss any policy plans? Or is it "s--- on Hillary" night again?

    She was his advocate, if anything that proves she's good at what she does.

    I just don't understand how any rational person who's known about Trump all these years could actually vote for him (unless you've always liked Trump). Politics aside, the dude is just a piece of s---. The best Republican candidates never stood a chance.

    This is all speculative; he hasn't stuck to a single substantive policy proposal through thsi campaign.

    its not really speculative. Trump is not a conservative, at all.
