    Oh yes it could be worse but still not as bad as Hillary!

    I was always told that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.  Electing Hillary seems to be doing the same thing again.

    How smart is it to choose someone with 30 years of corruption and lies experience ?

    Hello Rosie:

    When your vaunted institutions FAIL, as did congress, our schools, and the economy, it's not surprising that we turn to a strong man..  It's SCARY, but not surprising.

    I think that is right. That is the question I asked myself but as the revelations about hillary come out I feel even better about my decision. The risk is that he could be worse but now that seems very unlikely, it was 50/50 when hillary's conspiring against bernie drove me from the party out of anger, but now I think it is maybe 1% and there is a 99% chance that even trump cannot be worse than hillary.

    What I saw was two parties each with a candidate supported by the people but not by party officials. In one party the choice of the people was not allowed to be nominated, in the other party he was. How could the other party be the one to finally accept the wishes of their voters but my party could not? But that is what happened and I realized then that it was the hillary party and not the democrat party. And now so much comes out hillary is so horrible and even the party has been corrupt and accepting bribes just like the leader. The known is that hillary and the other people will accept bribes while they are in government positions and they will destroy evidence and mishandle classified information and they will lie to the people and even the president. Yes trump is the unknown but the known is 100% bad so it is hard for him to be worse.

    If you have two choices and you know that one is bad, then the alternative is generally the better choice even though the outcome is unknown.  This is true because the first option is guaranteed 100% to be bad...there is at least the chance that the alternative won't be.

    Worse than Obama or Clinton?  I don't think any candidate running under the banner of any party could be worse than those two.

    I don't see him as a strong man at all excon. He is an overweight buffoon who has spent every day of his life as the best thing you can be in America..a privileged and quite wealthy white man. He has no idea what suffering is. He has no concern for others. He is so deficient in kindness and character he wouldn't recognize them He is woefully lacking in self-esteem. I know he is a blowhard and a braggart  and a bully who  APPEARS to think he is swell as he**. But seriously. Those who are confident  in themselves are modest. They don't need the spotlight 24/7 or the approval or the adulation. He lives on it  and cannot survive without it. That is not a strong man. In my opinion. That is a very weak and insecure human being. Thank you for your reply m'dear! :)

    I cannot argue that. But the alternative is so horrible it is preferable to me personally to put up with 4 more years of ti and hope that there WILL BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE in 2020! Thank you for your reply I99 and Happy Saturday to thee! ;)

    SInce most of them do not even know what they had to complain about that was the same in the first place, they have no clue what kind of different they would be in store for.    I have not read one thing a Trump supporter thinks that is valid or sane.

    War is different too.  I mean if their neighborhood gets bombed like they do in 3rd world countries, that may be a nice change for them.

    We are already there. In the last seven years three major cities have declared bankruptcy. The current administration has spent more money than all the previous administrations Combined!

    With a person with 30 years of lies and corruption as a reputation ( Hillary ) and you still want her to run the Country doesn't say much about you. Why? How come? Why don't you like white ,wealthy over weight men?  Shame on you.

    Hello Tom:

    I dunno about Rosie, but I think Hillary sucks..  I don't like much about her.  But, I'm gonna vote for her anyway because of the 4 or 5 Supreme Court seats she's gonna fill..  Their influence will LONG outlive Clinton..

    That's exactly why I can't vote for her she said she will continue Obamas policies which are too Liberal .

      Hillary will appoint Liberal Judges and continue with Obamas racist ways. Rosie is too far gone to help I wish you would reconsider, you seem too smart to be led to the slaughter with lying Hillary.

    Really TT you are quite rude. Too far gone am I? Why do you keep responding to my questions then? I NEVER seek you out. Why do you keep coming around me so consistently? I would say you are the one who is TOO FAR Gone. So just go away. Whatddya say? Do a good deed for once in your life. What do you have to lose?

    The only way you could KNOW that is if they both served as prez simultaneously and you could compare the job each did. Otherwise you can never know. Opinion is all any of ever have and sometimes opinions are right on the money and sometimes they aren't even in the same ballpark. Thank you for your reply nudi and Happy Tuesday! :)

    Calm down Rosie if you get upset because I respond to your questions there is a simple solution don't ask them. If you only want people to agree with you then you are a shallow person of which it becomes obvious why you ask such lame brained questions which deserve lame brained answers.

      To address the point of me seeking you out I answer them to help satisfy your need for attention which you obviously need or you wouldn't ask so many questions any person with a basic education would have. I'm sorry to upset you but you obviously are a person who can dish it out but can't take it like a trooper . Continue supporting Hillary , you and her think the same ( I wont hold it against you )
