Yeah he just doubled the national debt, divided the nations racial and ethnic groups even more then they were, and nearly passed through gun control, he also pulled troops out of Iraq leaving the region to be controlled by rebel insurgence groups which we armed, who eventually turned into ISIS. But your right, he did pass national health insurance which has been a nice disaster, and he's allowed kids to leach off their parents until their twenty-five, so we'll give credit where credit is due.

Frankly the best thing Obama did in office was have the guts to give to order to go through with the mission to take out Bin Laden. :-\

I'll say this, as bad as Obama has been he's a little better then Hillary. And for what its worth he was the first black president, and while I think electing someone in so they can be the first whatever is a bad way to judge someone's eligibility, its still a milestone in American history.

Yeah. . . agreed.
19 trillion dollars in debt. That's a million million.

I'd be interested in a poll change to who is voting in the upcoming election, just to gauge how many of us are old enough and will vote, old enough and won't vote, and aren't old enough to vote.

Sure, but I'll change it back in time for the actual voting to begin.

But I'd rather have a politically competent criminal in office than a blustering politically inexperienced bully like Trump. Clinton may be scary for America, but Trump is scary for the world.

Agreed.

Second that.
The way I see it, it's like this: would you rather have the sneaky, doublecrossing Chancellor Palpatine or the blundering Jar Jar?  (Perhaps not the best analogy, but still.)  I'd take the guy whose motives and intentions (seem to) have a greater chance of being genuine.

The way I see it, its better to put up with Hillary for four years or however long the prezzers is in office for, then immediately get somebody better. Trump is just... No.

I agree, except Trump for four years, and then someone better. Do you know Trump, how many have his speeches have you watched? How many of his ideas have you reviewed?

Too many. ;)

If I had to pick between Trump and Hillary, I'd go with the former, just because I don't think they'd let him do anything. I find the comparison of Hillary to Palpatine extremely apt.

Trump is nothing more than a redneck with a lot of money. Hitler gave good speeches too, but I don't think many people would have liked him as the US President.

LT Sandpaw


On the contrary, before Hitler became known as a Nazi villain the Democratic left considered him to be the model of leadership and progressiveness. They also thought Stalin was great, until you know they realized he killed loads of his own people.

And Trump is anything but a redneck. And there ain't nothing wrong with rednecks neither. That's just an insult based off emotions rather then facts.

If you see Trumps track record he's actually a rather interesting extrovert.
