Dig, As we can see from responses, folks have more of an issue w/ Hillary and her shadiness than Trump and his Misgivings. What does THAT say?

She is being held to a much higher standard. And I think she should be held to that standard, but so should Trump. It just seems like everyone has become so numb to how much of an actual fuck-up he is that he can get away with it. That is the only way I can understand it. It really defies all common sense.

In general, Americans of had it with establishment politics. That is the whole thing behind trump, he is a circus in himself and it's clear he doesn't want that job, but the people don't want establishment. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" isn't jiving on Americans anymore.

The one commonality Sanders and trump have is that they're both antiestablishment. And the Sanders movement was YUUGE. If anything is understandable, is that we are fed up with establishment.

I disagree with the idea that Trump is anti-establishment. That is a con he is selling, but many disenfranchised Americans are buying it.

I agree that Sanders was anti-establishment, that is one of the reasons I supported him. I completely understand why Americans are pissed off, but if they think Trump is the answer, I'm afraid they will sadly be disappointed. That's like taking radiation to battle a cold.

Hillary definitely is establishment, but she is far better than the only other option in this election.

Fear is a great motivator to vote for Hillary. I think it's rational and justifiable fear of a Trump presidency.

See, I don't think using fear to base one's vote on is rational AT ALL.

Well, what can I say. This is an exceptional election.

First time I will be voting for a Republican president. It's coming at a time of ridiculous political correctness and BLM false narratives along with a decaying foreign policy in the Middle East.

The false narrative is what you just wrote, and unfortunately, why Trump is now an option. Drilling for fear (to keep it PJ themed)

False narrative is the reality. Mike Brown wasn't just walking in the street. Wasn't a book, wasn't just selling cds, etc...etc...Stop your micro-aggression!!

Go Beavers said:

So you think different versions of what happened in a police shooting is new?

Nope. I wait for the facts to come in before burning down a town. Key word is facts.

Where in my comment did I say things are getting worse? I didn't.

Go Beavers said:

But your reasoning to go with trump was that things are getting worse.

You used the term "decaying" and "at a time", which obviously reference the present compared to the past. The thing is, your concerns have been happening for quite some time.

Political correctness safe spaces and micro-aggressions are all new bullshit from the Left, and the BLM movement have done nothing but made things worse (on purpose). New things happening. Obama's decaying Middle East foreign policy is recently new as well.

PC, micro aggression, and blm are all things that were happening before, they're just new labels combined with social media/internet exposure.

And in what ways has foreign policy with the Middle East been decaying recently?

Look up ISIS. Israel and Obama (watch the PBS frontiline on that one, even they admit it's bad). Oh, it's a media conspiracy! The Left isn't worse with it's whining and blaming. It's just the media. Pfffttttt. I guess you live in a vacuum where nothing shifts or changes in the world.
