Given that you seem to be the only non-Trump conservative in this thread, who are you going to vote for?

more Jill Stein being savage:
She just isn't good at speechifying, but that really isn't a big part of being president. She's a much better debater. If nothing else, she knows more about any given topic than the person she is debating against. If the debates stick to policy (which I'll concede is an *if*) she'll beat the crap out of him.
Our political system seems to reward people that are good at public communication. Hillary is bad at that, so she spent the last 4 years gathering endorsements from every significant Democrat constituency. If she wins, it will be interesting to see how her leadership style (emphasizing personal relationships) will contrast with a more traditional style like Obama's, which relies on appealing to the public.

That's like the one part I think she can probably handle decently. I'm not sure if there's actually any politician alive who has had to have as many debates as her. What's she going to do when Trump presses her on emails/saudi donations/DNC leaks etc? She's gotten an easy ride on some of these topics by avoiding press conferences.
You could say the same for what happens when in a 1v1 debate Trump tries to dodge a policy question by giving a bullshit answer and gets called out for it by her. They both have really obvious weak spots.
Personally I think they'll both possibly look awful. On emails I'm curious to hear myself, DNC leaks so far it doesn't look like it was at her direct bidding so it's honestly not really going to matter (hiring DWS on the other hand is just... so.... so dumb) , Saudi donations it's not like she controls who donates to her.
I'm pretty sure there's better issues than those three to hit her on besides the emails.

She started at NBC in 2011 and the $600k salary was reported after she was there for 3 years. I don't know how that reads as "0 experience" to you. In the industry. Anyway, this is going poorly for Hillary. If this doesn't give her a noticable bump she's hosed. Guide to what the chants mean.
Any sources else then a white square on a phone?

That or you don't believe what Hillary and the establishment says. And they are not addressing the issues that you think are important.
Also, these DNC speeches make it seem like women are slaves in the US. I don't know how "bad" it's in the southern US, but here in Canada, men and women are more or less equals in every way.

I'm not sure yet. Also, I live in CA so it doesn't matter as much.
I was so excited for the primary to come to CA and not be over, where my vote might actually matter. Then it didn't. rip

From what i've seen, he says whatever spit brings to his mouth (often times talking absolute bs) and talks over his previous statements so much that i'm not sure if even he knows what he really wants. To me it just seems like a sort of a dumb protest vote (kinda like Brexit) that might just result in shittier things for Americans. Luckily for me, i don't live in america, so it probably wont be that big of an effect on me.

Wow.... Native Americans mentioned. Guaranteed you Sanders pushed her there. As he was the only Presidential candidate to accept the invite to address their issues. Not even Obama has done that.

I like when Hillary promises to use an amendment to get rid of CU. The president has nothing besides the bully pulpit on that one. Does that mean she won't appoint an anti-CU justice?
Edit: "I believe in science." LOL. what a dumb line.

Immigration and protectionism are the two big ones imo.
I think Brexit is a good choice btw, it'll just be costly short term. Hillary has jumped around on so many issues as well. Also, current gun rights are just fine, and I've made several posts in the gun thread using numbers to show that the people who are trying to change gun laws as not worth the trouble.

Do women not vote in huge numbers? I just can't see Trump winning with just a good chunk of the white male vote and maaaybe slightly higher minority vote in some demos. Women seem to be so against him it's over before it started if they vote in large numbers. Then add in his large disadvantage with minorities and of course a good chunk of white males and I don't see him winning.
