    How many people go into politics that aren't self-centered? Running for president of the free world doesn't really jive with humility. I guess I'm cynical, but it takes stones to think highly enough of yourself to think you can lead 319 million people

    I'm putting it on the record. I'm hoping for a weak Clinton win, followed by impeachment, an indictment, a guilty charge, and some time served. Tim Kaine would take over because I think he's decent. His views are very much in line with mine and seems very moderate in a field full of crazies without the corruption baggage.

    I actually think there are self sacrificing people that go into politics as opposed to a sell serving person like Hillary. I believe she would shoot her own mother to be president if nobody would find out.

    My ACORN compatriots are doing God's Work as we speak. We're also on the lookout for pasty skinny white dudes dressed up in pimp outfits.

    Sneaky little devils.

    Why? The job is frustrating, stressing, limiting of your freedom and doesn't pay that well.

    Tuesday(Nov 8) cannot come fast enough, this election season is way too long. Hillary is not good but Trump really sucks. Voted for Hillary and hope she wins.

    I hope it is because the believe they can have a positive impact on society.. you know being self sacrificing and all. That seems to me like a better choice than a brain damaged sociopath or a deranged narcissist.

    The job has paid the Clintons VERY well and Obama hasn't done too shabby either but his wealth generation seems a bit more on the up and up than the Clintons.

    Ms. Clinton has been involved in public causes for 40 years, I don't know why the weight of ego and money is put upon her so heavily. She has a long and proven track record of service.

    Because she has a tendency to do things that cause investigations and then the evidence either disappears, is willfully destroyed or she "can't recall". Most of these things are related to doing things that improve her financial situation or are an attempt to hide something... it may be nothing that she is hiding but she sure does try hard to keep it hidden. The other thing with her is just a general lack of trust when she has been caught lying bold faced to the American people on multiple occasions like her husband was.

    The Clintons are just kinda shady.

    1. You do understand the political climate in this country right? Both sides, if you're opponent has more popularity or power, you attack it on all fronts. You use your own political power to initiate investigations. If Ms. Clinton and Bill are so evil why over 35 years of all out investigation have they not been charged with anything but not calling oral sex sexual relations? Ken Starr had the full weight of the DOJ and an unlimited Congressional budget and filed no charges. It's just political propaganda, politics as usual. You should at least extend to her "innocent until proven guilty", that's the American way.

    The more I learn about Hillary`s antics, the more I don't want her to be President. I cannot vote for Trump because he is a buffoon. I don't want to waste a vote on the others so I am stuck between these 2.........Jeez, is this the best we can do. I would prefer not to vote but that's not the right thing to do........I guess I am going with the lesser of two evils :mad:

    it's not politics as usual - it's politics in the age of a post-truth party that doesn't put its country first.
