Trump might win his Apprentice show and time slot back. That is about it.
Hillary will bag the ISIS leader during the finale, ala obl.

Have you read the leaked emails? Democrats helped orchestrate isis and the syrian civil war.

Hillary will not do anything to stop isis until assad is out of power. Once Asad is gone, isis will have no use, then they will be taken down.

And yet this has still never been a qualification for anything. Seriously: would you hire a guy with a line like this on their resume?

To be fair, it does make sense if hiring were done by democratic vote. Imagine if the exec class were shitting on lower level employees, the latter might just nominate someone to speak truth to power, even if it's some rando clown if that's the only option available.

Speak truth to power? What truth? That they're pissed off & confused, blaming all the wrong people for what they see as the sad state of America? That's not truth. That's bullshit.

Donald just riles 'em up more than the usual right wing agitprop, keeps 'em nicely irrational so that they'll vote for the party of trickledown, again.

I suggest we elect a President who only taxes idiots like Texashiker for all the war bullshit that doesn't bother me 1 way or the other in my country.

It's what they believe is true. There've also been quite a few peasant revolts in history where the new boss was same as the old one, such is the nature of power & authority.

Someone on a talk show mentioned early voting begins the end of September.
That means for many people, only 4 more weeks until the pain is over.
I am so jealous. Most of us still have to wait a freaking 8 weeks.
For those that have only 4 more weeks to go, you lucky SOB.
After that lever has been pulled, the personal decision made, those lucky people can sit back, relax, space out, and get their life back.

Uhhh,
bullshit toothless. drumpf is only pandering to morons like you. his policies are not feasible, and anyone with experience is saying that, but feel free to ignore the ones that go against your oh so christian ideologies.
buffoon.

You realized America is built upon Christian ideologies and the vast majority of the Middle East is built upon Islamic.

I'll take Christianity or Buddhism over Islam or atheism any day of the week.

Then why is there no mention of Christianity in the Constitution?

The overwhelming majority of United States citizen who've ever lived or died is Christian. It'd be strange to assume that this country is not built upon Christian ideologies.

Because the founding Fathers wanted religions to stay out of government.

You didn't answer the question and then you state that the founding fathers wanted religion out of government. So which is it?

I'm actually a Buddhist, not a Christian. I understand the point of atheism, however society without faith will fall in no time.

Sure. You are living in an inherently Christian country, you are free to do so. You can't do that in Islamic society. Wait, you actually can do that but you have to face pitchfork constantly.

I did answer your question.

They also wanted government to stay out of religion.

True.

You are kind of shooting yourself in the foot on that one.

Not really. Individual liberty is THE most valuable rights of every Americans.

The fact that the founding Fathers wanted religions to stay out of governments and the fact that our country was built upon Christian ideologies don't have conflict with each other.

Also, the country that was built upon Christian ideologies turns out pretty great, don't you think? Now just for a moment, try to imagine what would it be like if our Constitution ended up in a society like Islamic society. Pretty out of this world.

Are you special? I asked you what Christian values was this country founded on and all you stated was that a majority of people who were born or lived in this country were Christian. That is not an answer.

Argg, thought you were the other guy, sorry.

Here's your answer:

When you look at a country, you'd normally look at its leaders and its policies, so I'll do the same with the United States.

Place holder for a long answer.

Indeed, Native Americans suffered a cruel fate. Either die by killing each other, by colonialists or by deceases.

Also, it's true that I don't need space for a long answer. I need time to compose.

* Edit: grammar.

You should perhaps back up a bit and learn some grammar to begin with. But I let mine slack enough here and there.

I am not trying to be intentionally rude, you just need to learn to refine your arguments a bit to begin with.
