    I think there are groups of women who are very entrenched in a patriarchal society. They are used to, and even want, men to be in charge. They derive their power and sense of worth from their husbands so it makes sense to them that they need someone like Trump.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    and the mud just keeps getting deeper, which direction will you focus your energy and what will support your thoughts or hatred, when a candidate runs for office there will always be likes and dislikes and the words used to discredit a candidate are much harsher than words used by the candidates themselves most times and sometimes opinions are mistaken for fact. this has to one of the most interesting election races in history...and mostly because a very wealthy man wants to run for president believing he can do a better job than the current president and the candidates currently running....why is it so important to anyone else that I believe their opinion ? does mine matter to them ? as far as mud goes does Trump's wrong doing even stack up next to Hillary's ?
    I guess it's a matter of what you believe the media reports and which media source you consider reliable right ? it's very important that we have the right and opportunity to discuss this topic but it should be done without discrediting one another's character, makes me wonder if we do these kind of things to hide our own weaknesses' from each other.

    not worth it

    Dude, that article you posted was clearly worth it! So, I'll post it, if you don't mind.

    This is about the mind-blowing hypocracy of Hillary during Bill Clinton's presidency, going after his victims of sexual assault and shenanigans rather than fighting for them as women, as she claims she does for all women.
    ...in the 1990s, the Clintons and their allies discredited women who said they had had sexual encounters with or been sexually assaulted by former President Bill Clinton.

    The conversation, relayed by several people with knowledge of the discussion who would speak about it only anonymously, captures the deeper debate unfolding among liberal-leaning women about how to reconcile Mrs. Clinton’s leadership on women’s issues with her past involvement in her husband’s efforts to fend off accusations of sexual misconduct. The issue emerged last month when Mrs. Clinton accused the Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump of having a “penchant for sexism” and he in turn accused her of hypocrisy, given her husband’s treatment of women.

    Mrs. Clinton had hoped to galvanize women late last month in her critique of Mr. Trump. Instead, two weeks before the Iowa caucuses, her campaign has found itself trying to shore up support among women as discussions about past Clinton scandals have moved from conservative critics to broader public consciousness. “She’s not a victim. She was an enabler,” Mr. Trump told Fox News last week. “Some of these women have been destroyed, and Hillary worked with” her husband, he said..

    I don't support him but get how some can and do.

    Please feel free to explain how you get how some women would support this mIsigynist. We would all love to know.

    Came across this yesterday.

    Donald Trump will take no prisoners in his attacks on Clinton. Barbara Res, who worked for Trump as an executive for 18 years, told Christiane Amanpour that he has become increasingly negative toward women over the years. “The thing about Donald is that he can sense weakness,” Res added, “and when he senses weakness he will overcome you. There’s no question about it. He has that sense of smell.” Of her years with him, she said, “You had to be a killer with him otherwise you would get killed by him.”

    I hear you about everything except the Clinton talk. It's well-known they are in cahoots regardless of what he says of her agenda. The so-called competition between the two is not so much of a competition but behind closed door deals.
    Sorry, but this is just laughable. I am not saying it is outside of the realm of possibility, but to say it is well-known??? It is well-theorized by people who believe everything is one giant conspiracy wrapped in a conspiracy.

    It's just a mythical planet that actually exists and the government is hiding it from us. It's going to collide with us or the magnetism is going to turn us all gay, I don't really know what the kooks believe.

    Sending the women's movement back 100 years? I have no doubt there are women who are very suppressed from their situations, this is no reason to stand by men who are not helping them, but destroying them. Welcome to today's society.

    I don't have television or internet. My sole connection to the outside world is 3 gigs of data/month in my phone. I read articles by educated, respected, and investigative sources from both sides of the divide.
    I don't look to internet conspiracy theorists and believe they tell me the truth, which is no better than watching the MSM and swallowing their garbage.

    Better yet Gambs, keep thinking that they're really true rivals. Just like the media wants everyone to think, just like the country wants the people to think. It's called mind control after all. Keep laughing I'm just laughing back. :lol:

    If I post a picture of Trump with Neil Young, will you believe that he is behind it all?

    Seriously though, it is entirely possible that your claim is true. I really do believe that.
    I, however, am a lover of science and logic and reason...evidence based ideology guided by compassion is the way I approach life.

    You really don't have any evidence at all. If you were saying "I think" or "it's possible" or even "it seems very likely" I would be right on board with you. Acting like it is a verified fact known by everyone who doesn't have their head in the sand is just crazy. You have zero proof, almost zero evidence, and an arrogant attitude about it, you shouldn't be surprised if you get exactly the dismissive response I gave you.

    Do you believe in Nibiru? Honestly asking.

    YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS :dizzy:

    Next you'll be telling us you believe in reliable and provable facts, figures, data, and evidence.

    Get out of here with that talk.

    Everyone knows the presidential nominees were chosen years ago by a group of old, naked, white billionaires in the woods north of San Francisco.

    Or was it Z.O.G.?
    Or the New World Order?
    Or maybe the Rothschilds

    I get so confused by all the different conspiracy theories.

    Namaste

    Oh and dismissive responses w/ nothing to back up their claims other than saying "Science, logic and reason" is just as much proof that you have no evidence for your claims.
