It's better than Trump's unguided waffling. He's like an easily distracted hyperactive child. "I'm shouting about Mexicans!" "Now I'm gonna talk about that baby in the audience down there". "Okay, back to the, what was it? Oh yeah, the Muslims, that was it". "Oh, look at that man's red hat, let's talk about that". It's just spontaneous crap, it's like the clickbait title of political dialogue. Have you listened to a whole Trump speech? I found the one he gave yesterday was actually fairly well delivered and on point. No, not a whole one. But I looked at the full speech from that convention or whatever it was, and skipped to six different points throughout the video. He essentially just focuses wholly on the fact that the country is in peril from terrorism and everyone's going to be horribly at risk if they don't vote for him. It's all about terrorism, law and order and immigration. It's all just scaremongering. |

I'm not a Hillary fan by any stretch. Bern baby Bern!! But I'm curious why she can't be trusted? The GOP has spent MILLIONS to find her guilty of something, anything. And what have they found? Zip. Nothing. So to use that as a reason why she is the lesser choice boggles my mind. On the other hand, when has the REALITY STAR/REAL STATE TYCOON ever done anything to deserve to be our president? What are his qualifications? MONEY? What previous political office has he held? I know he speaks in a 5th grade dialogue to make it easier for the bumpkins to understand. And he really doesn't say anything important just blabs useless junk those bumpkins want to hear. Again, why is he qualified? I don't know which side to be more ashamed of. The ones who voted Trump in? Or the ones who DIDN'T vote Bernie in? I'm pretty sure if you ask for a paper ballot you can still write in a vote. That's my plan. Hillary was fired from the House Watergate investigating for ethics violations and lying. She is not qualified to be a president of anything, let alone a country. By the letter of the law, she absolutely is guilty in the email scandal, as the FBI director let her off because she didn't "intend" to do anything wrong, which isn't a legal defense anyone else can use, because it isn't a legal defense at all. Intent is irrelevant in the eyes of the law, so I have to imagine the FBI director let her off because he didn't want to "commit suicide" within the next few months. As for trump, political office isn't a requirement to be president, and some of the better ones were not career politicians either. I'm not a blind trump supporter, but to pretend running a billion dollar empire doesn't require some political savvy just isn't true. |

Another thing on Trump's speeches; it's all very convincing, I will say. His delivery is pretty good, he's definitely got something persuasive about him. But his speeches lack content. It's all "I am going to keep you all safe!", "I am going to combat terrorism!", but he doesn't actually go into detail about how he's going to do it. He's also hard to take seriously most of the time anyway because he consistently disgraces himself and he looks like a crusty old satsuma that's been left in the fruit bowl for about six weeks.

George Takei's take on a Trump's answer of what is 2+2. I thought this was funny.
"I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me, and they ask me. They say, 'What's 2+2'? And I tell them, look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh, my God, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. It's terrible. It's just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way, I love the number 2. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy, but he's like, '10101000101,' on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers, and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. So, we're gonna be the best on 2+2, believe me."

Also Trump has no political savvy, his billion dollar empire is founded on manipulating people and giving the little man the short end of the stick. |

His speeches have no content, he just packs them full of random shit to convince people, and by the end of it he's answered nothing at all. |

As for trump, you certainly do have to know quite a bit of politicing to get major projects and such done in the states. I'm not suggesting he's bribing people or anything like that, merely pointing out that he's not someone who knows nothing of our political system. In this election cycle, I'm much like diablo up there. I don't care about any issue except appointment of actual constitutional judges to SCOTUS. Billary won't do that, which leaves us with trump, who will do that, considering he's already published a list of judges he'd appoint from. |

From a British POV the major problem with Trump is that for some unknown reason he appears to want a scrap with China. And its not too much of a stretch that he'll want a fight with the Soviets (yes the Soviets. Putin has done almost everything bar renaming Russia). I dont think in that situation the "Special Relationship" would hold up to much scrutiny. China are THE current strong economy. We all know that. I dont get what his problem is there. Although it may be his several bankruptcies. And if we leave Russia to be Russia they'll have glasnost sooner or later.
As for Hillary. Im not a dog so cant hear what shes screeching.
However the US have a choice. Rock or Hard Place. Devil or Deep Blue Sea. Dumb or Dumber.

Next thing you know there's gonna be a tactical nuclear warhead dropped on the Scarborough Shoal. Somehow I don't think he wants to fight Russia, it seems he wants to get friendly with Putin. I don't know what his views are on North Korea, but I do know that North Korea endorsed Donald Trump as presidential candidate, so that says a lot. |

Meanwhile not only does the father of the Orlando shooter endorse Hillary he gets to stand behind her on stage. That's right the anti-gay, anti-woman, pro-Taliban, father of the biggest mass shooter in American history gets to stand right behind Hillary Clinton while she gives a stump speech. |

The thing with Trump is that both parties will shut down his crazy ideas and impeach him if he steps out if line. Billary however has an open doorway to usher in her tyrannical unconstitutional diabolical bullshit with very little resistance particularly after choosing the next SCJs
