Trump.

Because I am, sadly, a millenial & I vote for the Lolz.

Proof that millenials don't deserve the vote.  :P

Let's see. An uncaring conservative with personality problems ....

Or a borderline fascist lunatic.

Tough.

I would still prefer Hindenburg over Hitler :P

All you left wing freaks slitting your own throats over this need to chill out. This Bernie thing was not about him, your day is coming and my days are numbered. The center is not going to hold for long. This might be the last hurrah for sanity before you bastards can get to work destroying my country.

Has Hillary ever really said what Bill's role will be in her Presidency?  I mean he'll be in a unique position.  The only concrete example of a presidential spouse taking an active role in contested policy areas was, well, Hillary's role in health care reform (which bombed), so ever since presidential spouses have tended to look after softer areas (like Michelle Obama and kids nutrition).

But Bill is too savvy a politician to leave on the sidelines...

Trump of course.

I don't understand how can anyone vote for a proven criminal and congenital lier like Ms Clinton.

With Trump there is a 50/50 chance he will be a good or a bad president, but with Clinton there is a hundred 100 % chance of corruption. Remember all the rapes, all the cover ups, TWA 800, Benghazi, the email gate, the decision to allow the survival of Al Qaeda, and ultimately the attacks on the 9/11.  All at the feets of the Clinton machine. How many Clinton psycophants have committed "suicide?

The 7 Wildest Lies From Hillary Clinton


Rusty

Capture

Normally, we'd like to focus on positive thoughts around the holiday season. But with Hillary Clinton very recently using the tragedy of 9/11 to justify her ties to Wall Street, especially when those ties were well-established before that day, we found it necessary to analyze some other lies told by the presidential hopeful.


Sure, paring down Clinton's resume of lies and exaggerations is no easy task, but we decided to go with 7 to match the number of deadly sins, many of which the Clinton family is guilty of as well.

To get you in the mood for the following list, we asked rock legend Henry Rollins to share his thoughts on Mrs. Clinton. As a result, he wrote this song ...



Okay, maybe not, but it certainly sets the tone for this list.

Anyway, away we go ...

Dead Broke – In an interview, Clinton stated that she "came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt." Something even the left-leaning Politifact found to be false.

Sniper Fire – During the 2008 campaign, Clinton said she came under sniper fire in Bosnia during the '90s. She went so far as to claim her group ran "with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." Video of her actual arrival surfaced showing a very calm scene instead, and the Democrat would quickly say she simply misspoke.

Immigrant Grandparents – When discussing immigrant stories, Clinton asserted that "all my grandparents... came over here." It was another story Politifact said was false, as only one of her grandparents was an immigrant.

Sir Edmund Hillary – Seems Clinton can't even bring herself to tell the truth about her own name. She claimed to be named after Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the first men to climb Mt. Everest. One small problem though, the explorer didn't climb Everest until Clinton was 6 years old.

The Few, The Proud, The Marines – Very recently, Clinton claimed to have been turned down by the Marines when she applied in 1975. Washington Post fact-checkers quickly realized the absurdity that a rising legal star at the time, and soon to be wife of Bill Clinton, would drop everything and ship off with the Marines. They gave her a couple of Pinocchios for her tall tale.

Secret E-Mails – Former Secretary of State Clinton claimed her infamous private e-mail server was set up in "accordance with the rules and the regulations in effect." A federal judge disagreed, saying Clinton "violated government policy" when she used a private server to store official State Department messages.
Benghazi – Clearly the most reprehensible lie of them all – Clinton failed to tell the truth about a terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi. She claimed for weeks, standing over the flag-draped coffins of murdered Americans, that an insensitive YouTube video had incited the violence that occurred that night. Why? Because a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 – which it was – would have destroyed President Obama's re-election chances.  But hey, at the end of the day it's worth it to Clinton to tell a politically expedient lie, so long as her party can stay in power.

The biggest difference between liberals and conservatives is that for liberals the end justify the means, and no matter what's the corruption they cover up their fellow democrats to maintain control of power.

While the conservatives are purists who impeach their own president, as in Nixon, and fight a soft civil war becuase half of them don't think Trump is a real conservative with conservative values.

4 million conservatives stayed home on 2012 because Mitt Romney was too liberal in their eyes.

The think is, for conservatives the end does not justify the means.

Yeah the 90s were a terrible time - low unemployment, high productivity growth, booming stock market, budget surpluses, the US totally ascendant in the world, Russia and China quiescent.

But please by all means blame Bill Clinton for an attack that happened nine months into Bush presidency. 

If you believe the US should stand up to Russia, there is no chance Trump will be good - he is Putin's bitch.
If you believe the US should strengthen its allies and confront its foes, there is no chance Trump will be good - he will weaken or destroy NATO thus accomplishing Russia and China's ultimate dream foreign policy goal.
If you believe in fiscal control there is no chance Trump will be good - his budget proposals are the worst of all the candidates in terms of the deficit, and he proposes addressing the problem by treating the US treasury like bankrupt casino debt.  It is Chavismo remade for America.
If you believe in economic freedom, there is no chance Trump will be good, his first act will be to invoke emergency powers under the Patriot act to strip assets and impose capital controls on remittances to Mexico.

you don't like Clinton fine.  But don't fool yourself into thinking 50/50 on Trump.  It's a big zero.
