So it's not a matter of what Trump has already done, but what he says and wants to do. Supposedly, Hillary has already supported and done those things. Which is obviously bullshit. | ||

And yes, Hillary did support building a wall on the Mexico border On July 26 2016 12:55 CorsairHero wrote: Neither have built a wall or banned muslims. Yes, Trump hasn't *done* any of those things. But then, that's not what plasmidghost said in the first place: Just know that everything bad thing Trump says, Hillary has supported and done at one point. I appreciate your point of view, but try to limit yourself to the truth. Hyperbole does not help your cause. | ||

(As an outsider to your country) would I personally prefer Sanders to Clinton as President? Probably yes. Do I think Clinton is particularly trustworthy? Not really. Nevertheless, she's a damn sight better than Trump. Things will probably go downhill under Clinton, but I think they would no matter which candidate was elected. EDIT: At least with Trump... they have principles and stick to them What. Serious question: is that honestly what you believe? edit2: My understanding of Trump's position is that I have no idea whether he has principles he sticks to or not, since what he's actually saying changes all the time. | ||

At least with Trump, Stein, and Johnson, they have principles and stick to them Really? Trump, consistent? Sticks to his principles? Let's play this out. If only we could ask... Dear Mr. Trump, Since the 1980s, you have made very large campaign contributions to both major parties. Furthermore, you have changed your political affiliation several times in the past 30 years, from being a member of the Democratic party, to the Republican party, to the Reform party, back to being a Democrat, then Republican, then Independent, and now finally you’re a Republican again. Why should conservative voters believe that you’re the best Republican candidate running, since you have historically switched your political affiliation so many times and even threatened to run as a third-party candidate, effectively splitting the Republican vote in half and ensuring a Democratic president? And furthermore, you backtrack your individual platforms and change your mind on a regular basis, from your stance on abortion to your stance on gay marriage. So, Mr. Trump, why the hell should we trust you? The inevitable response: I direct you to my communications manager and spin doctor, Mr. plasmidghost... | ||
