I can't fathom how people can vote for him after listening to his speeches. He might be good, but his speeches are crap. Can't vote for him. Sad day for competency.


That's the problem with democracy: a lot of people aren't very well informed, and are easily taken in by his crap. Other than investing more in education, I'm not sure what can be done about this.

pretty big words for someone who just posted this:

>"... Her baggage isn't even her own baggage; people have been attacking and hating her for decades, apparently only for having the gall to be an ambitious woman in politics ..."

while ignoring/not being aware about all the bad stuff she pulled off/wanted to pull off (i.e. war, making gay marriage illegal, destroyed documents ...)


The stuff she pulled off or wanted to pull off wasn't pretty, but nothing out of the ordinary in US politics. The stuff Trump has pulled off and wants to pull off is of a totally different level. You focus only on the mote in Clinton's eye, while ignoring the beam in Trump's eye.

Seriously, how do you, and clearly so many other Americans, manage to have such a limited view of reality? Do you understand how weird it looks to attack and hate someone for doing the exact same things that the guy you support also did?
