> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Care to elaborate? What do believe Trump will do that Hillary would not, conversely what do you fear that Hillary would do that Trump would not? Well, let’s see. I don’t recall Trump putting top secret information on an unsecure server and letting the whole world look at it, then lying to everyone about it. But Hillary did. If we look at nothing else, that one action alone tells me that she is too frickin’ incompetent to be President. What else? I don’t recall Trump establishing a “foundation” to accept bribes from foreign powers in return for political favors. But Hillary did. Another massive chunk of confidence lost. I don’t recall Trump getting a US ambassador and three security people killed, and then lying to the people about it. But Hillary did. And the list goes on. It just astounds the living hell out of me that people think she is worthy of being President. She should be serving time in prison, not running for office. But liberals will line up to vote for her because you all think the sun shines out of her butt. ---

And I’m part of the whole world… This foundation you speak of, it sounds like every political administration since before I’ve been alive. Specifics? The US ambassador and three security agents I’m guessing is Benghazi. How did she personally have them killed? She called in the hit? I’d like to hear more from the list that goes on too. ---

What’s funny is, even if you grant everything on that list, I can easily, EASILY imagine Trump doing ALL of those things, and worse, AND more besides. ---

I seem to remember a number of investigations into Benghazi that were unable to find fault in anything she did. ---

No, there’s no evidence Hillary put top secret information on an unsecure server, much less letting the whole world look at it. > [@](#): > > What else?

Lists of fantasy information can often go on and on. I don’t know of any liberals that think the “sun shines out of her butt”. I do know lots of liberals who think she’s a much, much better option than someone who lies much, much more often than she does, has said many bigoted things, has said many dangerous and unhinged things, and appears to believe in nothing more than his own enrichment and aggrandizement. ---

We don’t even need to go to liberals to find people who think this. I can’t remember a presidential race EVER where so many Republican politicians have come out for the Democratic nominee. That says something right there about Trump’s competence and worth as a candidate. ---

I am a syndico-anarchist Wobbly with nostalgic affection for the Civilian Conservation Corps and I am VOTING FOR TRUMP because TRUMP’S ELECTION will be the last domino needed to push this country into the VIOLENT ECONOMIC REVOLUTION we so desperately need. Read Jack London’s _The Iron Heel_, sheeple! (I actually knew a bunch of people who were arguing this back in 1980, with Reagan. Sick, huh?) SACCO AND VANZETTI MUST NOT DIE! Also, the sun shines out of Hillary’s butt. ---

With all due respect, I don’t think this thread is the place to refute/argue with responses to the OP’s question. That is being done by the bucketload in other threads. It’s just distracting. I want to hear from Trump supporters. I know what _I_ think-- I want to know what they think. (I know at least two people IRL who support him, but we cannot talk about politics. At all.)

I’ll vote for Trump. Hillary has serious health issues. Perhaps the onset of Parkinsons. It appears that she takes L-DOPA. The Side effects of L-DOPA include confusion and disturbed respiration. Huma Abedin said she’s often confused. Hell, she even confused Trump with her husband. She has coughing fits as well. Have you seen Drudge tonight? She can’t even negotiate stairs without help.

> [@Leaper](#): > > What’s funny is, even if you grant everything on that list, I can easily, EASILY imagine Trump doing ALL of those things, and worse, AND more besides. I am absolutely, totally certain Trump would sell the highest, most critical military secrets he could to the highest bidder. Not a doubt in my mind. He is likely auctioning his services off to Russia, China, Iran et al. already. ---

My cousin is voting for Trump. Her reason, “Hillary wants to take my guns.” She’s not a member as I’m sure she’d find the registration process fart oo demanding. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Fair. But she has a rock solid, 10 years younger veep. So you take as a given that Clinton has “serious health issues”? If not, I’m not 100% sure what kind of reasoning you want or are expecting. Besides that, I’ve read a lot of reasons here to vote against Hillary Clinton, but not FOR Donald Trump. (Although, to be fair, it may be reasonable to read the responses so far as having an unspoken “I think voting third party is throwing my vote away, and I honestly don’t believe Trump will govern as badly as people seem to think,” but I would be interested in hearing that directly, especially the second part.) ---
