Trump says what he wants without outside influence, that's his principle I was referring to

The fact that you think Trump has principles is amusing.

The man has been caught completely contradicting himself within a matter of hours on issues. He's a compulsive liar and can't be trusted with anything.

Coming from a cuck like you I'm not sure that's a compliment.

An unpredictable wildfire that destroyed more than a dozen houses filled skies north of Los Angeles with smoke on Monday after driving thousands from their homes.

Some evacuees were about to return home on Sunday when unexpected winds stirred up the blaze that ignited two days earlier in brush withered by days of 100F (38C) temperatures and years of drought.

The number of firefighters on the lines surged to nearly 3,000 as flames devoured heavy vegetation in rugged mountains and canyons near the fringes of the metro area.

“All the experience we’ve had with fires is out the window,” said Los Angeles County deputy fire chief John Tripp, one of many who noted the fire’s special volatility on Sunday.

More than 51 square miles were scorched and at least 18 homes destroyed since the blaze erupted on Friday.

About 10,000 homes were ordered evacuated, according to the county’s fire incident webpage. It came after a man’s burned body was found in the fire zone this weekend, a death that was under investigation.

Hillary has a lawmaking record that is overwhelmingly liberal (http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/hillary-clinton-was-liberal-hillary-clinton-is-liberal/), how is she unprincipled?

If the Dems lose this election then they better damn sure show up during the mid terms (would be nice if they did that even if Clinton wins).

Hillary seems to be making some bad campaign missteps but I will still vote for her.

I voted for Bernie because I wanted someone to go ham on pushing for the progressive vision for the country. The way the GOP members of congress have acted the last 8 years has left a bad taste in my mouth. The left in its pathetic attempts to fight them on these things isn't much better. At least the GOP fights to win dammit. Its why No Fucks Given Obama is so good. While Clinton will talk more then she will actually do since she is about more steady change then radical ones, I still believe she will fight for that vision even if its a tamed down one.

Trump is such a mixed bag who the hell knows. He clearly isn't part of some of the douchy regressive parts of the GOP who are against the social progressive stuff but in other cases he just says shit that is either banana nut bread crazy or extremely calculating to pander to certain demographics by pushing a those darker buttons among the populace. He could even be a fine president for all we know (outside of his economic philosophy which seems to be an extension of the trickledown garbage that blows for 99% of people). Either way I wouldn't want to risk him as a president, especially since GOP controls congress atm.
