Of course I wasn't trolling. I meant it when I said I participate in these forums because I want my opinions and beliefs challenged.

Both Trump and Clinton say what they think their supporters want to hear. There's a chapter in Gates' book that talks about how Clinton and Obama were very cavalier backstage talking about their stances on Iraq based on how it will appeal to voters. These are people who would let Americans die without a second thought because it resonated well with voters. I'll never forgive or forget that.

But this isn't football. I can laugh and giggle when Pittsburgh gets away with a cheap hit or a bad call goes their way. In the end we're talking about grown men running a ball down a 100 yard field. This is fucking reality.  The outcomes and how the game is played really matter.  And at the end of the day, Clinton making the calls is better for the world than Trump. That's all it comes down to.  I can't cheer on my team this time.

I can't intelligently come to a reason to support Trump in this regard. I'm so fucking pissed at the GOP for blowing it. They could have ran Kasich or Rubio and won this hands down. The fact that this election is so close proves that to all the people who still think Clinton is a good candidate.  But they didn't. They let Cruz attract the Tea Party idiots enough that Trump was able to get the sane candidates to leave.

So between sanity and insanity, I'm voting for sanity.

I came out on Facebook that I'm voting for Clinton. My republican friends think I've lost my mind.

I don't know. If I'm being honest, I've had a hard time justifying a vote for Trump.  Good business man or not, the guy is a tool. He wants to come across as the common man, and at times I bet he believes that, but this guy has wanted for nothing his entire life and lives the life of a king. He's never had to compromise in any way he couldn't claim a victory.

I hate Hillary. I think she's a condescending, manipulative, conniving cunt. But she realizes how the world works. World leaders like her and respect her.  She can play lip service to the progressives, but she governs from the middle. She's going to want to do what Obama wouldn't/couldn't, and that's work with the GOP to get shit done.  That'll be her "fuck you" to him winning in '08.

In the end, that's much more important than sending a big "fuck you" to political correctness and apologizing for wanting America to maintain its culture and pride.   The idea of Trump dealing with Putin terrifies me.

If you want me to agree that our tax code needs to be simplified and many deductions need to removed, sign me up. But your group feigned outrage that Romney pointed out half the country pays no federal income tax and take more than they'll ever put in. Now you're upset Trump allegedly did what the majority of DNC supporters do.

Consistency.

Trump has created tens of thousands of jobs. I'll take his contribution over the people who have 5 kids they can't support.
