Can anyone planning to cast a vote in November riddle me plz!
What exactly are you arguing about if Trump or Clinton wins your popular vote, which of where you're vote is directed. And still lose the election
Youre opinion, and/or vote is fruitless regarding who becomes POTUS.
The Instrument Of Government
All political systems in the world today are a product of the struggle for power between alternative instruments of government. This struggle may be peaceful or armed, as is evidenced among classes, sects, tribes, parties or individuals. The outcome is always the victory of a particular governing structure – be it that of an individual, group, party or class -- and the defeat of -- the people; the defeat of genuine democracy.
Political struggle that results in the victory of a candidate with, for example, 51 per cent of the votes leads to a dictatorial governing body in the guise of a false democracy, since 49 per cent of the electorate is ruled by an instrument of government they did not vote for, but which has been imposed upon them. Such is dictatorship. Besides, this political conflict may produce a governing body that represents only a minority. For when votes are distributed among several candidates, though one polls more than any other, the sum of the votes received by those who received fewer votes might well constitute an overwhelming majority. However, the candidate with fewer votes wins and his success is regarded as legitimate and democratic! In actual fact, dictatorship is established under the cover of false democracy. This is the reality of the political systems prevailing in the world today. They are dictatorial systems and it is evident that they falsify genuine democracy. - all emphasis CornShucker's

Hillary Clinton would just keep the same system going doing the same corrupt bs. Trump at least might shake things up and expose to the public more evidence cronyism.
There is almost no good choice but I think hillary should be in jail and Trump at least has been right about the levels of corruption going on.
Americans allegedly choose candidates. Then they elect POTUS from given candidates. So yeah he got the nomination but he won't win the electoral vote.
He will just say it's all rigged once he wins the popular vote and lose in the electoral college, thereby satisfying his ego.
And He'll probably have a new tv show after the election plus all the millions he's pocketed.
I hear this argument all the time yet no one has been able to explain this. You mean its a conspiracy 30 years in the making? He said same things in 1988. Explain that?
TO THE OP: I keep hearing the lesser of two evils. No one has proved to me trump is evil or racist. In fact Ive never heard of him being either until he ran against the democrats. Im sure he has done shady things as most filthy rich businessmen have but he didn't do them in a political position of power. And they didn't threaten the country in any way, shape, or form. Im 99.9% sure Hillary is corrupt as hell after all the research I have done on her over the last 6 months. No one will ever make me believe Trump is on the same scale of corruption she is on. Im not a DIE hard trump fan nor do I think he is flawless but compared to Hillary I think he is by far the best option.
Im also personally sick of the attacks on Trump supporters calling us crazy, foolish, uneducated, racist etc.
Your OP spewed out personal attacks under the veil of being concerned. No one is buying your skit.

I could never vote for Hillary.
If you take away all the corruption, all the lies, all the unethical behavior. . . . .
She wants to raise taxes.
So now people care about taxes?
What about all the other presidents that raised taxes before corrupt Hiallary? I could list at the least 100 taxes that you pay every year, but it would create thread drift.
Americans revolted against the British for far less than what you pay for in taxes today. pure definition of irony. Like 95%-97% less.
I'm sick and tired of paying such high taxes.

Bruce is not Caitlen?
Donald Trump is far more qualified, and he's the best candidate I've seen since Ross Perot.
