    http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/liberty-university-students-break-with-jerry-falwell-over-trump-support

    Students are smarter than their leader
    Students at the evangelical Liberty University are breaking with school president Jerry Falwell Jr. over his support of Donald Trump, issuing a statement Wednesday night saying “we want nothing to do with him.”

    Claiming that Trump is “actively promoting the very things that we as Christians ought to oppose,” the statement from Liberty United Against Trump, which was obtained by The Washington Post, criticizes Falwell Jr. for tying the university’s name to a man who bragged about and is accused of sexually assaulting women.

    “Any faculty or staff member at Liberty would be terminated for such comments, and yet when Donald Trump makes them, President Falwell rushes eagerly to his defense – taking the name ‘Liberty University” with him,” the statement reads.

    “It is not enough to criticize these kinds of comments,” the students continued. “We must make clear to the world that while everyone is a sinner and everyone can be forgiven, a man who constantly and proudly speaks evil does not deserve our support for the nation’s highest office.”

    Not exactly encouraging when it comes to men and their values, is it? What gives? I say that as someone who likes men btw. But.... I don't know how to say it's extremely disturbing that the majority of men support Trump without sounding like I might be insulting men, sorry. Anyway, is this a commentary on something deeper? What's wrong with a society that causes the majority of men to support the likes of Donald Trump, even now?

    It's not new. Men are cretins. Uneducated men are bigger cretins. That's his voting block right there.
    Ha. What a joke. "Men are cretins." It is exactly that kind of comment and/or belief that explains why the majority support Trump. No matter how we behave these days we are all just sexists, misogynists, rapists, blah, blah, blah. We* are so sick of this nonsense to the point when even a real jerk like Trump comes along we just don't care anymore.

    *We clearly refers to the general population of men and not the subset of beta males on the AMT who are pretty unrepresentative of males as a whole.
    "beta males"? HAHAHAHA. that's rich.

    I can agree with mrussel1's point, or the one I think he's trying to make. Males are sexual animals, like any other animal. their instinct is to eat, sleep, fuck.

    But a "beta male" understands that females are equal, not to be conquered. we have evolved.

    It's funny to hear the Trump campaign say that we should ignore these since they happened so long ago yet they want to bring up Bill Clinton's shit from 30 years ago.

    So im a littler perplexed by some of these comments coming from you guys....

    you say Trump supporters are afraid of minorities, so basically calling them racist but then you guys are pretty much being bigots by saying these people live an hour away from the city, preparing for end of times, and pretty much assuming by using stereotypes to describe people associate with being uneducated rednecks or whatever other label people use to beat around the bush to not sound just as bigoted as the people they are describing

    this place is unreal sometimes

    A bigot is someone who holds in contempt another that has a different opinion. So if I'm practicing bigotry but holding in contempt Trump supporters who hold his immigration views, Judge Curiel views, objectifying women views, then so be it.

    There's data that supports the idea that Trump supporters tend to be less educated, white males. They also tend to have less interaction with minorities. Now not all Trump supporters fit this, but that's where the stereotype is coming from.

    The guy's an admitted sex offender. I was shocked that anyone would vote for him in the primary. Now it's about 3 times more shocking that anyone would even consider it.

    I'm not sure what you mean. In polls with Johnson and Stein, Trump has only dropped a few points recently, and he seems to have stayed in the 38-41 zone. He's still maintaining with most of his supporters. Votes against Hillary would mean jumps for Stein and Johnson, except their numbers have dropped a little.

    Yes, I am sure it would be a great use of time less than a month before an election to analyze how she prepped for debating Bernie Sanders 8 months ago...

    Yes, they are counted and tracked. It's no different than selecting one of the names listed. You are just adding your own. Predictably it may prove to be popular this year:

    I would say at this point republicans should vote for Jill Stein instead of Trump. Gary Johnson will get 5% of this years vote. Why because Trump is going lose and lose big. If Jill Stein can get 5% of the vote I believe a third party can possibly be on the ballot for the next presidential election. Please correct me if im wrong. If im right this would be great for America to give citizens more and better choices for president.
