    Trump's appeal, all 403 pages of it, is him not being you.

    Isn't that enough?

    A timid, fearful peoples constantly living in fear of losing their jobs , shunning any kind of change to uproot what they thought they knew ... which turns out, isnt much. You're easily replaceable -- and know it.

    If Obama's detailed layout of every issue is why you voted for him, how much of it came true? Why are you still struggling with job security? Don't be the team who won't play attacking basketball when they're up by 8 , just do the bare minimum to eek out wins , and they end up paying through the ass for it.

    And that, my friends, is the beauty of all this.

    Playing it safe is why the US has gone backwards the last 8 years, and I say this as someone whos never voted for a republican. Just doing the bare minimum isn't enough in a world where the power is shifting to the East and a senile old woman just wants to be president because her Husband did it.

    If you took risks, embraced change and had at the very least average testosterone levels, you'd see his policies and ideas have been routinely laid out. He's not anti mexican but anti illegal , and all high IQ people have noted the trends muslims have shown over the past 2 decades in the West, and 2 millenia in the world. There are many more noble issues you can focus on - if your petty ness allows you.

    But you're consumed with fear and an inability to relate - and that's what democrats are preying on.

    Nolen, I understand what you're saying...

    I get the hate for Clinton, trust me I do.... But right now the other choices are unacceptable...

    How do you sell me on Trump..

    He lies.. In every speech he lies.. he lies in his tweets, he lies all the freaking time.. and yes Clinton is a liar also.
    He berates people.. The man is not presidential at all..
    He knows nothing about policy..
    He does not know anything about business.. He has filed for bankruptcy how many times? He has million of dollars of debt..
    He has brought out more hatred in people, it's just ridicules...

    I can understand that Bigtexx is only voting for Trump because of his hatred for Clinton....

    But Trump is not the answer...

    I would have actually voted for Kasich...

    NYT got Trumps tax returns. 18 years and looks like he didn't pay federal income tax for any of it.

    Probably the most accurate quote of Trump to date - “If Donald Trump were a Democratic mole placed in the Republican Party to disrupt things, how would his behavior be any different?” - George Will.

    My favorite is the first one.... Wake up... Trump is a snake oil salesman.

    You refer to Trump as Drumpf. And you expect mature answers? Perhaps you should post more mature questions.

    The fact remains that nobody is the D&D should be taken seriously. If you're coming here for a perspective, you have failed yourself. Don't blame it on the others.

    Safe space is for liberals. And if someone else came in here pretending to be coy and asking why one would support Hillary while using words like "Killery", I would do the same.

    The biggest safe space on Reddit is the Trump sub. They preemptively ban users to make sure they can't post on their sub. It's an echo chamber

    You do know that the original family surname was Drumpf, right?

    Most of his supporters aren't making it known they support Trump.

    Exactly. Look at posters like Mojo Man, Space Ghost, Bigtexxx who continuously defend Trump's actions/rhetoric but still try to play some sort of ruse that they wont vote for him or are not his supporters.

    Hmm. Touchy. Are you voting for him? I had the impression you weren't.
    There are many horrible things to say about Trump, most of which are true. Within that spectrum, calling him by the name his grandfather used before changing it isn't that bad. Did I really expect mature answers? Meh. I have pretty low expectations here.


    That's not entirely true. It's mostly a cesspool of poo-flinging here, but now and then you can learn something new, and even when wading through the crap you can at least learn the standard talking points parroted by the other side. The debate you and I had over net neutrality, for example, was a good one. Mostly focused on the ramifications of actual policy.

    Having read threads in here for over 13 years, It's truly bizarre to have no one in here able to make serious posts in favor of the Republican nominee for president. Seriously, isn't that amazing? Even Sarah Palin had it better in here.
