Please someone argue what hardcore socialist values and policies put into place could hurt our current power and government as americans. Please convince me why conservative “rich people” are holding onto 1 dollar in their corner crying while Sanders get elected. Educate me on this, I’ve tried to learn about fundamental conservative and republican values back to Alexander Hamilton but I cannot in any logical assumption agree with any republican aside that Hillary has anything to offer to our society, I believe the War on Terrorism can be solved through psychologist, philosophers, and religious leaders. Please someone convince me that one of the two evils ( sanders vs trump) is better, Trump is legitimately more ignorant than any running cannidate in the 20th century from what I’ve heard of. ---

I’m kind of nostalgic for the classic “lesser of two evils” campaign - the 1991 gubernatorial runoff battle in Louisiana between the sleazy ethics-challenged (and later criminally convicted) ex-governor Edwin Edwards, and David Duke. Best bumper sticker from the campaign: "Vote For the Crook. It’s Important.” The crook won big (Edwards got 61% of the vote to Duke’s 38%, a margin Clinton is likely to match or exceed over Trump). Nearly half of Edwards voters told pollsters that they thought he was a crook but voted for him anyway. Should be fun seeing what bumper stickers appear as the 2016 election draws closer. ---

You mean all these years calling Obama a \*\*SOCIALIST \*\*didn’t sink in and make you quake in terror at the very mention of the word? Geez, what are you, a free thinker or something? ---

When you read a sentence fragment like “I cannot in any logical assumption agree with any republican aside that Hillary has anything to offer to our society” I think it’s clear that either the Pit or the cornfield is where this incoherent steaming pile of illiterate excretion belongs. ---
