It astounds me that the mostly false myth of the devil that is Hillary Clinton blinds so called conservatives to the true threat this country faces in Donald Trump. Even after he gets trounced in November, I have no doubt that he will refuse to concede, and go on TV claiming he was cheated and still throw insults at Hillary, which given how utterly stupid and ill informed his supporters are will do real damage to the faith in our election process. There are plenty of examples around the world of democracies falling into chaos when losers refuse to accept the results and rally their supporters. I would fully support him being arrested if he tried such a thing, particularly since it likely wont even be close.

This lady must not have been much of a conservative if she's willing to switch sides and vote for a corrupt liberal when her party offers a shitty candidate.

I might very well sit out this election, but I can't see any way that I could vote for Hillary. I know a lot of conservatives that are equally disgusted by Trump as they are by Hillary, but no way would they cast a ballot for Hillary.

She said she would only do that if it the election in Florida were close, and this is because she is smart enough to truly fear a Trump presidency.

When a Trump presidency gets through running the country like his casinos we'll all be replaced by migrant H1B visa workers.

The usual asswipes on team blue who toss out phrases like "concern troll" as a lazy defense mechanism seem to not care when it comes to the opposition. Hypocritical morans.

(As a grown man, I'm proud to have never utter such a phrase)

Also, the goober wing of the repub party still doesn't understand that anyone remotely associated with jeb! publicly denouncing or criticizing trump only serves to boost trumps support.

Trump isn't just a shitty candidate. He's an affront to common decency and an insult to the good name & character of America.

Decent Republicans everywhere are looking at themselves & asking "My God! What have we done? How did we let it come to this?"

mccain had an out, he had an easy out with this whole khan debacle, and he chose to stick with drumpf. then again, he rode shotgun on the caribou-barbie express for a campaign season, that's gotta rattle even the strongest souls.

And Hillary isn't? We're talking about a person who took 26 million dollars in donations in exchange for taking sensitive telecom equipment off the Iran sanction list... and that's just for starters. Let's not forget when she and her husband sold pardons or when they fired the entire White House travel staff and installed their best friends, which they were forces by a judge to reverse. I'm not even going to mention the email crap. She is as much an affront to American decency and spirit as that bigoted idiot Trump. They are both HORRIBLE.

Why is this a partisan issue at all? We have two people who are megalomaniacal liars and cheats. Neither is deserving of your vote. This is more than a "we're right, you're wrong" typical partisan crap. Republicans "winning" or Democrats "winning" means the country loses. If either of these people become the president, we all lose. Why don't people see this?

Someone mentioned Republicans finally putting the country before their party. Let's see the Democrats do this too. Let's see them BOTH put the country first. But it won't happen. Trump or Hillary, doesn't matter - this country will get what it deserves. Either of these people are elected, mark my words, within 24 months we will be back in a full scale ground war in the middle-east. Both of them will be corrupt on levels not previously seen. You think the Halliburton favoritism in the Iraq war was appalling? Just wait until you see the schemes Trump and Hillary have cooked up.

Hillary hate is a blinding & overwhelming force against susceptible intellects. That's you.

Oh, and no judge reversed the Clinton's actions in travelgate-

The biggest difference between Trump and Hillary is that a Hillary victory means NOT waking up to 5,000+ point market crash on Nov 9th.

One of the most honest posts I have read here on this forum in a long long time. Well said, Sir. Or well said, Maam.

Please. Trump would never have become the Democratic nominee slinging the shit that he has. No fucking way. He needed people whose best qualities have been turned cruelly against them by their leadership. He needed people blinded by decades of FUD. He needed a disaffected voting bloc with a leader cult mentality & he found it in the Repub Party.

I only meant that since some of his views have been liberal in the past, he in theory could have run as a democrat. Whether that is realistic or not wasn't my point. My point was that even had he run as a democrat, I would have voted for most republicans over him. And I really mean that. I wouldn't vote for Trump even if he was running as a dem. In fact, I'll go even further than that. In a hypothetical world where Trump's views are more liberal, I still wouldn't vote for him because he is a man child who is temperamentally unfit to be POTUS, no matter what his views are, no matter what party he runs under.
