The voters have spoken--it's Trump vs. Clinton in 2016


We are now living in our own idiocracy. Life has imitated art, and I don't like it one bit.

Amen! It would be funny if it were only a movie:

Candidate D: We're going to up the minimum wage to $15 for everybody. Women regardless of length of employment or skill level will be paid the same as men!

Low-intellect voter D: Yeah!!! Candidate R will ruin America!

Candidate R: Let's make America great again! We're going to borrow so much money that when we go bankrupt we'll not have to pay it all back. Anyone that disagrees with me is a $%^#!

Low-intellect voter R: Yeah!!! Candidate D will ruin America!

You're an intelligent fellow, Dark. Who did you want for the nominee(s)?

Thanks, I'm by far not the most intelligent person in the room, I just do a lot of reading & enjoy studying history. 

I align most with Austin Petersen, one of the Libertarians. As I noted in the other thread here, I would have voted for either Mr. Cruz or Mr. Kasich if they were (or get to be) in play.

Cruz? A Dominionist/Rapturist? Who would run the country based on Old Testament fairy tales? You have to be kidding. Well, you do have Cruz II in Pence, Trump's running mate. I suspect Trump, if he wins, will resign, or be impeached, within a year of his first term. That would make Pence the POTUS. So you'll get your anti Government (that is, anti all agencies except the Department of Defense), pro war, Bible banging Dominionist/Rapturist.

Jon Huntsman is the most qualified man on the R side, and he isn't even running this year.

Well, you know the sayings about opinions and not pleasing all the people all the time...  <sarcasm> I can see it now- Cruz expands the military to station a soldier outside every home in America to make sure people are going to church! NSA surveillance will now be used instead of anti-terrorism to make sure people are praying.</sarcasm>

No need to be so upset. America is going your way via either Clinton (more likely to win) or Trump (less likely to win), so you should be elated about the future. I saw a poll reported yesterday that over 3/4 of D voters think the country will be permanently damaged if Trump wins and a similar number of R voters felt the same way about it if Clinton wins. Seems like I've read that prediction somewhere... ah, it was 4 posts above in this thread back in May:
Candidate D: We're going to up the minimum wage to $15 for everybody. Women regardless of length of employment or skill level will be paid the same as men!

As for me, I'm voting for Gary Johnson this time.

Jon Huntsman is the most qualified man on the R side, and he isn't even running this year.

If we're picking Republicans that aren't running, then my vote goes to Ron Paul as it did in the 2012 primary.

Both of you are fitting extras for this movie...

People that lack critical thinking skills such as yourself that instead have to insult people are fitting additions to my ignore list. 

orrrrrrrrr:

he will just start world war III and there will be no more discussion.

That's the same idiotic thing that Libtards said when Reagan was elected, and he became one of our greatest presidents ever.

Cooked Hillary was defeated. She and her trailer park trash husband can no longer makes millions by selling America to the highest bidder, including countries who harbor and fund Islamic Terrorism.

And the next time one of our embassies or consulates is under attack from Islamic Terrorists, they will receive help from the U.S. Military.

Yeah, just like the Embassies received help from the U.S. Military when they were attacked under the Cheney administration.

And just like the soldiers who received help when your God Reagan left them hanging in Beirut after the 1983 attack there.

Was one of my favorite comedies until it went documentary. Not so funny anymore.
