    The flip side of the coin is that he is so incompetent he wouldn't be able to keep up the charades going on in the government.

    Sigh. There's a difference between bad sex and being sodomized by a barb-wire coated Cruise Missile. Which then detonates.

    The more I think about your original statement, the more I disagree with it. To me "the most annoying thing" about this election is that a significant minority of the population would vote for a cartoonish buffoon just because he's the kind of colossal asshole that reminds them of themselves. Why would you be upset at people criticizing you for your candidate if you thought you had good reason for voting for that person?

    How exactly are we "fucked" if Clinton is elected? The same way the people of New York were "fucked" when she was their (popular) senator? The same way the country was fucked when she was a well-respected secretary of state? She's a fucking politician - you don't have to like her, you just have to think that she wouldn't destroy the fucking country. I mean, I can kind of see this if it was Clinton vs. Romney, yawns all round. But it's Clinton versus somebody who can only get worked up about tweeting about Miss Universe and who thinks Vladimir Putin is a "strong" leader, presumably because nobody criticizes him and gets to carry on with their lives in relative safety.

    IMO, the two most dangerous parts of Clinton is she will let in refugees from countries that have shown to have a high number of rapists, terrorists and other violent offenders. What's happening in Germany and the rest of Europe is that all these muslims are coming in and fucking shit up. Roaming rape gangs terrorizing the streets. I think she will be weak on Islamic Terrorism, as the current President is.

    She will probably continue the FED's dangerous monetary policy. The longer we let it happen the worse its all going to get.

    I mean Obama has done a shitty job, and Clinton seems like she makes worse decisions than he does. So basically it'll be the "same" but worse.

    ALSO: if nothing else, think about the Supreme Court. The next president will absolutely get to pick one justice (unless it's Clinton, in which case the lame duck congress will probably approve Merrick Garland out of fear that Clinton will go for someone more liberal) and the ages of the older remaining justices are:
    Bader Ginsburg: 83
    Kennedy: 80
    Breyer: 78
    Thomas: 68

    And Ginsburg has had health issues.

    Pretty much. People dont like opinions other than theirs anymore. But this year is extremely bad because the choices are so bad.

    It happened with obama running too, but it seems even worse now.

    People aren't even talking about any key issues this election. Its basically all hinged upon the candidates themselves. Its an election for their personalities.

    I know you remember Petrie and correctly too! So I know you remember Carter and the humongous interest rates as well as everything being fucked up.

    Well, very similar situations here. Nobody likes Hillary or Trump and none of us want the job.

    This statement needs to stand alone for all to contemplate.

    I can remember Jerry Ford and the WIN buttons. So let's not pretend that that problem was all Carter.

    [For the whippersnappers: WIN stood for Whip Inflation Now. I guess the idea was that if you wore a button on your very wide lapel, prices would go down. They didn't.]

    there is a very real chance that all the bigoted rhetoric from trump is just window dressing to draw in the cracker ass mouth breathers.

    Wouldn't that be funny.

    Candidate B sounds like my kind of guy.

    Trump doesn't drink or smoke, so I guess he's kinda like Hitler?
