    I have Conservative friends who say "Obama is the most racist President ever"

    Then I'll ask why "why do you say that?"

    Then they'll say "because of the 'beer summit' and when he said 'if I had a son, he'd look like Tryvon.'"

    Then I ask... "what about the Presidents who owned black people and r---d them and waged a war on Native Americans?"

    Then they say... "wull, that was legal back then."

    Then I say "is it illegal to drink beer and say a kid, could look like your son now?"


    Then they say, "the REAL unemployment rate is like 180%!"

    A sitting congressman literally asked what nonwhites have ever contributed to civilization, and it was roughly the 7th most significant event of the day.

    watching this now. been on 20 minutes and its been entirely c-list actors, and (grimly) grieving parents whose kids have been killed... like literally 6-7 parents being paraded out on stage to discuss their dead child. sick.

    Isis is losing ground, by some estimates rapidly https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...te-risk-losing-territory-caliphate-syria-iraq

    I have more faith in Hillary Clinton, a former Secretary of State, to continue the effort to defeat Isis than I do in Donald Trump, a hit-and-miss real estate developer and reality TV star who has virtually zero grasp on foreign policy.

    ben carson is such a f---ing dunce. imagine arguing, concurrently, that:

    -- america is in the midst of a dark crisis, a fight for its very existence

    -- the biggest problem, the first one we should address, is "political correctness"

    that is absolutely ludicrous and no thinking person could possibly believe it.

    trump decides what his platform will be that day like what suit he will put on in the morning. he's the definition of someone who just says what his fans want to hear.

    Trump isn't actually anything. This isn't a bait-and-switch. He's not manipulating the base. There's nothing of substance behind the rhetoric. Trump is whatever he said most recently.

    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.

    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.)
