The Bad News Thread

Trump the lesser of the two evils? Really???? I guess if the other option was Hitler maybe.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Exactly.

Also, are people really saying "Trump might surprise you?" Like come on now. He has literally flip-flopped about a thousand times in the span of a month, but yet no one cares? Again, Hillary also isn't my favorite candidate, but goddamn at least she's consistent.

Finally saw my first outward Trump supporter on Facebook and the shit he posts is absolutely bananas. Like, I've seen both liberal and conservative garbage websites, but this is next-level awfulness. It confirms what a lot of us think about Trump supporters: 100% reactionary; forget facts, Trump speaks his mind and that's A-OK with me. I don't understand how being a total dickhole qualifies you to be President. He literally hasn't said jack shit about what he's going to do. NOTHING. Isn't that terrifying?!

Well you covered a lot of ground there. This is just the......latest of the Hill and Bill show. They are a very well known quantity

Again forgetting Trump explain how Clinton is better in anyway shape or form then Gary Johnson. Hillary is a known liar, and basically incompetent in the positions she has held. Johnson turned around New Mexico, supports civil liberties and rights and likely won't run the US into a fiscal nightmare

Not sure many think she is, but he has that whole "not a shot in hell so i ain't wasting my vote" thing going on...

I'm down to read facts, but are there any from a non-partisan site?

Conservative site with a conservative slant is just as useless as a liberal site with the same.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

And right, I agree with punch it in. I WISH there were better options, but I just can't see any reason why Trump is an actual candidate. I have yet to hear a single rational argument for him. Not one.

Yes, it is.....and it's rough sledding finding any

But if you are suggesting the vid I posted is influenced by a Conservative site. It's posted everywhere and the vid naturally has nothing to do with the site posted to. Just the facts as they unwound in the int.

We should be feeling the Bern! We should really move this convo off of the bad news thread (even though this election certainly qualifies) before it overtakes the good news thread!

I've flat out asked people how are you not voting for a 3rd party candidate? To me both options are absurd.

Hillary was an utter failure at Secretary of State. She was a nightmare. In the private world she woulda be fired for incompetence.

Trump as president....ain't happening.


If a 3rd party candidate can post a strong showing, I think the option will only grow stronger in this day and age. 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought it, but so much has changed.

The age of typical political candidates is officially over.

Well the bright side (since Hillary is going to be the next potus) is that she will now have a staff to prevent any incompetence. We hope.

Its good news and bad. We now have options as opposed to ...well ...reagan, bush, bush, clinton, clinton, well shit every president since Polk.
The bad news is you get Trumps. It will hopefully work itself out to a nice happy place like Howard Stern.

But i agree terrible situation to be in. Ugghh.

This!!! I agree with you 150% politicians by nature lie,they promise everything to everyone and then do what they want but that is how politics work .Hillary is better at it then Trump, Donald Trump did not know what the Nuclear Triad was and that scared me .Like you I'm not a fan of Hillary but Donald Trump can not be president he just can't so for me it's Clinton or Johnson but in no way Trump.
