    I probably will unless I vote for Gary Johnson. Just because Hillary will be terrible for the country doesn't mean that Trump wouldn't be worse. The difference is that Trump is such an absolute joke that he has no chance of winning and will very likely be the worst Republican candidate loser since before the Civil War.

    You have hit the nail on the head with Aziz. Going through his day constantly annoyed (even more so than is typical for a comedian) will fester out in ways like this opinion in the failing new york times. What did he get for being the third funniest on Parks and Recreation? His taller costar moved on to super stardom and he is doing a webseries with his parents. I'm sure it's great though.

    It makes no sense. You're afraid of Trump because he's going to hand over the presidency to Hillary so your solution is to vote for her. Are we in the twilight zone?

    I wouldn't expect a Trump voter to understand.....anything really, but it's pretty simple, Hillary would be really bad, Trump would be catastrophic. I'm not really worried about Trump though because he has no chance of winning. Liberals are in the tank for Hillary and real conservatives won't support Trump. He has only the r****d vote and the super loyal Republicans that would vote for anyone that won the nomination. Those just aren't enough people to matter.

    Ironic that you brought up the nazi party. Do you think criticizing Nazism in the 40's would have gotten you labeled as a bigot or xenophobia? There's absolutely no difference between the two, both are an ideology. Except today we have to live among people that live in a fantasy world instead of reality. We have a president who wont even say the words "radical islam". Can you imagine if FDR refused to use the word "nazi" because it would hurt some Germans feelings.


    Here's what FDR said about the ban of citizens from hostile country and government

    We are not at war with Syria and Iraq. In fact, Iraq is our ally. So your quote is misapplied.

    The president chooses not to say the word because he knows there is a right-wing movement that wants to label all of Islam an enemy of the west which would lead to hate and violence against Muslims. We need Muslims to fight against ISIS and other extremist groups. That is his choice.

    But he has been the most active president in fighting extremist groups in our nation's history. He has used more resources against Al Qaeda and ISIS without putting boots on the ground. And it's been effective against Al Qaeda and now beginning to show fruit against ISIS. It was forecasted by analysts that terror attacks would increase as ISIS territory diminished.

    The people acting like Nazis are on the right.

    Islamist extremists are a whole nother type of nastiness - on the level of Nazism but different in implementation.

    I am talking about the Nazi party use of broad strokes to blame economic problems on things like immigration or minority groups

    To show how political movements can result in hate crimes - look no further than the UK where hate crimes are exploding after the Brexit vote:

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/27/europe/racist-attacks-post-brexit/index.html

    Similar things will happen to minority communities here. The fact is there are a lot of racist and stupid people being riled up by Trump, and they are going to start acting soon enough.

    Sweet Lou is right. The 'economy sucks because of immigrants' is exactly a Nazi shtick. If you don't understand that you are an idiot.
