> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Trumps problem is that the things he says that make sense like the US and Russia should be friends or Fuck China gets lost in the other 98% of things he says. Well, the Russia stuff Trump has said is much different than the kinds of things that (naively) Obama said around 2008 and 2012 about resetting relations with the hope of having more friendly ties. At the same time as Trump has praised Putin as a great and effective leader, he has also called NATO obsolete and said he would impose conditions on his administration’s compliance with NATO treaty obligations if a NATO member were attacked. While some conservatives have misguidedly praised Putin in the recent past as being an effective leader, I don’t think most Republican congresspeople or voters would support any withdrawal from NATO or abandonment of NATO allies. Forget about Obama’s red lines issue with Syria and the use of chemical weapons, U.S. credibility is going to be zero if every treaty and security commitment is suddenly in question based on a new reassessment about whether it has an immediate or sufficient benefit for the U.S. to Trump’s satisfaction. ---

If you have viewed his presentation, he admits that he has not. He offers a medical theory, and it makes a lot of sense. ---

There is more than that. [Here’s another](https://youtu.be/HoBL7fqOVcQ) [and another](https://youtu.be/2RATKRbSWV8) I heard a good interview with a doctor today who tied it all to Parkinsons as well. Look for this to grow legs. ---

I have dark bad days some times where I feel completely nihilistic, and hate the world and wish someone would drop a bomb on everyone, and that’s when a little voice comes into my head and says Vote for Trump! ---

Gulf Tiger, I hope you don’t take these conspiracy theory people on the internet, pointing to these examples of Parkinson’s and applying it to Hillary, seriously. You know that If you where to take hours and hours of video of any human, and fish through it, and edit it down to their smaller movements and reactions, you could easily make anyone look like they have neurological problems. That’s what these people on the internet are doing with Hillary. You shouldn’t take them seriously- its all fakery. ---

You can’t get more ‘principled conservative’ (or I guess ‘principled reactionary’) than the Constitution Party, and they support withdrawal from NATO (and the UN) as well, so clearly these are ideas that have some traction among _some_ people on the right (as well as some on the left). If something is a bad idea (and I think NATO was always a bad idea, even in its origins) there is zero virtue in holding steadfastly to it for the sake of ‘credibility’, just like if your friend or family member commits a crime, there’s no virtue in standing by them for the sake of loyalty. Honoring treaties and promises has a place, but sometimes there are things that are more important. ---

Just out of curiousity do you take claims by psychistarists that Trump has Narcissistic personality disorder, and is likely also a sociopath as equally convincing? Because to tell you the truth I’d rather have a president with Parkinson’s disease than one that is clinically insane, but that’s just me. ---

I plan to vote for Trump as I feel he is the more qualified of the two. I believe he will work hard for the country. Frankly, if Hillary gets elected, I really don’t want to relive the past and hear about all of Bill’s escapades and what he is up to, etc. Enough is enough. ---

After a long time of thought and research, I too have decided to vote for Trump. This is a new decision and I am not happy about it. I just don’t trust Hillary. I know Trump is gonna be a mess, but that might be the slap in the face the country needs to shape up. On the plus side I doubt he will mess with my guns.
