All of which applies to Trump, if not more so.

So, what youre saying is anyone who was unlucky enough to be part of that Congress who was conned by GWB is unqualified, but someone who has no political experience (but still supported the War) \*is \*qualified? :dubious:

But those qualities signify strength in a man. They are only unseemly in a woman.

She is the stereotype politician. Deals right and left, change policy as needed to stay in tune with public.

Trump on the other hand is a used car salesman. You can avoid buying from him. Hillary affects actual policy. She might have affected your life in her jobs.

I find it interesting that there are some people who are undecided. I was watching Fox News and Glenn Beck could not answer Megyn Kelly who he would vote for. This must be a very confusion time for Fox News.

Hillary doesn’t believe in anything beyond getting elected. She has no principles, no morals, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She is evil. That, and her stance on guns permanently disqualifies her from ever getting my vote.

The Supreme Court is the most frequent “rational” (read: non-conspiratorial) justification I hear from folks who say they reject HRC, to the point that they are willing to votie for Trump.

This argument undermines everything the right has said about needing judges who simply “follow the law” and resist “judicial activism”. By stating that it is impossible for anyone on the left to fairly appoint SCOTUS justices, they essentially admit judges must pass a political test to be acceptable. Now, I happen to agree with this opinion; SCOTUS is as political as any other branch of government, one which by its nature tends toward preserving the status quo (the exceptions when it doesn’t are notable because they are fairly rare). I for one am glad they’re finally being honest about their true agenda.

Please inform us how you have such personal knowledge of her that you can speak knowledgeably about what she believes in, let alone be able to judge with any accuracy whatsoever her principles or morals, especially with such starkly black-and-white assertions.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

I read the fucking news on a daily basis. The news reports her actions and statements. From such, intelligent people may draw reasonable inferences about her character. Plus she’s anti gun, which automatically marks her as permanently unacceptable. I’m voting Libertarian this year.

Oh yes, and those are ALWAYS the whole story and complete and utter truth. Let me introduce you to a concept called credulity.

Wise people know better than to believe everything that they read. They also have enough experience with life that they realize that almost nothing is black and white. Some others let ideology blind them without realizing it.

She does not need to believe, only to appoint those liberal judges for me. Party line.😃

Please show me where Clinton has claimed to be “anti gun”. Please show a policy or position that she has advocated that is “anti gun”. Then, delving into opinion territory, what about being anti gun makes a person unacceptable? (Am I correct in assuming you mean unacceptable to be President, or do you mean unacceptable in some other context?)

More black and white. A totally unsubstantiable assertion, especially if it’s specifically directed towards me. Save it; your extremist statements are unconvincing.

Oh please. Clinton openly supports what she calls “gun control.” If this has somehow escaped your notice, try reading [here](https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/gun-violence-prevention/).

Pay particular attention to this quote: _And yes, if you’re too dangerous to get on a plane, you are too dangerous to buy a gun in America._

Blatantly unconstitutional. She should know that, but she apparently doesn’t care about the 2nd, 5th, and 14th Amendments when it suits her agenda.

I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that Hillary will be the next POTUS. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. Still hoping she and Trump spontaneously combust on live TV. Neither is fit to be POTUS. Trump is batshit insane, and Hillary is evil. We need better choices, but we won’t get them.

I don’t really hate sports teams. Well, except Notre Dame. And Auburn (unless they are playing a non-SEC team).

Where are these mythical supporters who thing Hilary has done nothing wrong? Are they hiding behind the unicorns?
