    Hey Reeko.

    Don't wait until the 28th. Take 'em to the polls on Nov 8 (unless they're voting Trump in which case stick with the 28th).

    This is the most elaborate, patient criticism I've ever heard of Trump. Other call him what he is, but this is a patient explanation of exactly why. Everyone has to hear this.

    I guess you never say never (hello Blue Jays fans :() But as it stands, even if Trump could win Iowa, Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina (he trails in each), he'd still needs Pennsylvania, in which he is currently behind by 8+ points.

    would you be whining like this if Trump was leading in the polls?

    Romney won Texas with 4,569,843 votes to Obama's 3,308,124. If the same number of voters come out to choose between Trump and Clinton, and Trump wins 41% to 38%, that means Texas has at least 1,025,380 zombies!

    We're a happy healthy family thank God. 20 strong with my central american parents who became citizens in 2000. Their church also set up registration tables last month.

    And presumably, since they later became citizens, your parents immigrated here legally, or at some point normalized their immigration status, why would you want to vote for someone who advocates making it easier for illegal immigrants to jump the line on the very process your parents went through?

    Sanctuary cities, path to citizenship, and unchecked illegal immigration is a complete slap in the face to legal immigrants.

    Ronald Reagan gifted them AMNESTY. Can you believe that? The Republicans had their shot and they blew it.

    Blew it how?

    Just because your family was rewarded for breaking the law doesn't mean successive generations of illegals should be. And if that's the requirement for gaining your vote (which, you wouldn't even be entitled to by right, were it not for the aforementioned gift), then you can keep it and throw it away on the democrats. Trump is going to win this election. You can revel in all the polls that say otherwise. They are being manipulated to try to dampen Trump voter turnout but in the end the only thing they are going to accomplish is to leave you open mouthed and disappointed on November 8th and wondering what the hell happened.

    so if polls are being manipulated, why wouldn't the election be as well? If Trump wins, the election was RIGGED! The only legitimate win is if Hillary wins.

    My parents didn't break any laws. They were given asylum from Reagan first. They were residents before being citizen. I'll book mark this post to make sure I see it on November 29th. Trump told people to vote on November 28th

    Dude, you don't wait until after their dead to register them. You make sure they're registered before they die then maintain their voter registration. Duh.

    Maw-maw and paw-paw may have died in that horrible lawn mower accident in '77...

    but they smiled down from heaven when they voted for Mondale, Clinton, Gore, and Obama twice. Each.

    That is, twice in both 2008 and 2012.

    There isn't a shot in hell that this dude could understand any sort of logic presented by the brilliant Sam Harris.

    It's like trying to convince a "flat earth" or "big foot" believer.
