Near the bottom of this article: Trump vs Clinton voter preference. 44/50 among general election voters. He could win…

Yes, he could win, but the statistics you’re citing don’t look all that promising.

I’m sure this pains a lot of you but there is a meaningful portion of the population who will vote “Not Clinton” regardless of who that is, including even Trump. I would consider not voting but I think that’s unpatriotic and disrespectful to our forefathers. So I would vote for Trump if that is what I am forced to do. I don’t have to like it, but I feel like it’s the right thing to do given the dearth of options. And it cancels out someone’s Clinton vote, which is also a significant bonus.

This is legitimately frightening to me.

It’s almost as if we have to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

Can someone please explain to me why Trump would be a less bad choice than Hilary?

Maybe Trump won’t break the law while in office. Just a thought…

I think, or at least I really hope, Trump recognizes he doesn’t know what he’s doing so he’ll surround himself with smart politicians that know how to play the game. Hillary knows the game better than anyone alive with the possible exception of her husband. She has the ability to push her agenda much more effectively than Trump will.

Basically choosing between a (hopefully) harmless baffoon, and an evil bitch.

Funny thing is, if it was anyone other than Hillary pushing the same agenda against Trump, I would seriously consider voting democrat. She’s, by far, the most moderate candidate. Just can’t vote for her because she’s the devil.

All the choices are frightening. I won’t vote for a serial liar who has made a career of bagging the American public and then shifting blame. In the article, it said 51% of people are anxious about Clinton.

Yea Trump is just going to tell people to do things and they will do it. That seems to be the basis of his platform. I would laugh if he does win and all the people voting for him see how little can be done.

Ditto

To people who lean right, that would still be preferable to Hillary being productive in her more left leaning campaign promises.

Vote or die.

Can we please split this country in 2 already? Repubs get the south & midwest, Dems will take Far west coast & North East. Move to whichever you like best & everyone will be much happier and politics will not be so far apart in each individual country.

If it were only that easy. Another way to do it would be to separate the big city folk from the non-big city folk. I’m looking at you Chicago.

states right brah, it’s the coolest just ask the swiss. the issue is not that there are so many dirty liberals, it’s that they are taking over and consolidating power into the federal government. I’d be fine letting all the dirty hippy socialists and religious nut jobs have their own states so they could leave the rest of us rational people alone to live our lives without someone else forcing their way of life on everyone. fucking hippies and zealots…

Well, we should have fifty choices. Make sure you vote for state’s rights and a small central government, as the constitution intended.

Executive Authority is legitimate when it is used to enforce the laws on the books, not circumvent. My wild ass crazy guess is that he would start by enforcing the current immigration laws. No help needed.

Everything you post is so loaded its ridiculous. Yes all Obama tries to do is circumvent laws, clearly.

It’s also legal to block muslims from coming to this country (but yes lets take all the good christians, and non mexicans). I am also not sure under what authority (and with what budget) he would just go about building a huge fence (as if that will realistically stop people from getting in).
