It amazes me that anyone would vote for either of them. Neither care about the general public. Honestly, people are fucking stupid.

This should be the election that one of the other candidates stand a chance. but instead of looking on other options everyone is just d
saying who will be worse of the 2..... realistically they should be 2nd and 4th choice. (one of the others is pretty nuts too, I'd still take Clinton over him)

The other candidates are pretty fucking stupid tbh. Two of them have deeply flawed policy ideas that don't stand up to economic or legal scrutiny, but they can say stuff that sounds good on paper because they'll never, ever have to deliver it.

A large part of the Clinton vote has to be "she's not Trump". I don't think many people are voting for her for positive reasons. So its not really stupidity rather than grudging necessity.

To be fair that can be applied to some/most/all of Mr. Trump's policies as well. It could just be "pre election bollocks" but in the final debate it was put to him by the moderator that he would do more harm than good and he... predictably started talking about deleted emails or something.

As for legal scrutiny, "if we've got nukes why can't we use them" and I remember people taking a very dim view about pinching oil out of the Middle East.

He quite obliviously advocates breaking international law and committing war crimes. Truly frightening.

False equivalency. You've bought into the decades old Clinton-bashing froth, none of which has stuck. There's nothing wrong with her apart from some poor email management.

You're proving my point. For four decades there's been an entire industry coming up with this stuff, hoping to throw enough shit at the wall that some of it sticks.
"Has a history of not tipping"
"Believes in aliens"
"Fainted in 2005"
Endless others that are patently wilful misunderstandings, or that we've all seen debunked on Snopes.

If Trump won he would resign first term before everything turning to shit damaged his brand.
And yes..nothing has damaged it so far..touching up women and not paying taxes is just water under the bridge.

So, on the one hand we have "crooked Hilary" who's shit with email but split opinion amongst the legal types on what crime or penalties she could face (from "criminal" through "misdemeanour" to "no crime at all"), whilst on the other we have Trump who has two actual court dates before he could even get sworn in (one for rape of a minor!!) and another 73(!) still to come. How is this even a fucking comparison?

False equivalence. Always. The media play along with it rather than telling Trump's mouthpieces to fuck right off.

Because that rape thing has been brought up and dismissed before, it hasn't even been reported in the us media because it's a nonsense suit that's going to get dismissed inside 5 minutes.

And the racketeering? And the other 70-odd? Irrespective of how many of these stick, this is the putative leader of the free world. The optics are terrible.

I don't think there is much sense to any of it, there is little point in looking for any.

Its like some bizarre episode of black mirror where the moral of the story is you get exactly what you deserve. In this case it is America getting it.

Absolutely agree with @DaGaffer and just to add.

The FBI bossman said 'He's found something' and then Hilariouslys polls dived massively.

I mean, nothing has -actually- been found, it would appear to me that as much as people are slating the media for slating Trump, it would appear to me that Hillary is getting it just as bad, if not, worse.

and I pose the question to you all again (because it's not been answered) how many Presidents in the past have done what Hillary has and simply got away with it? I mean in the modern day where technology isn't evidently safe because it can get hacked and such, it's obvious that stuff like this is going to come out, regardless who is running, they're all very ambitious people that aren't doing it for free.

I think the future political class will come directly out of convents dedicated to each respective party in order for them to have a completely clear record so they don't lose the 'negative elections' even if they just stand there at their speeches and just drone on.

Of course all the people who actually run America just turn on the news now and then for a laugh.

I almost agreed with Job until I thought that the people who actually run America probably follow the news religiously to fap to their successes.

So nothing doing re: Clinton's emails. A lot of kerfuffle over not much at all.

I can't believe Trump has been locked out of his twitter account by his own people. How are we going to watch the meltdown unfold now? :(

Hillary will win, as Julian Assange said "Trump will not be allowed to win."

It will be extremely close, Trump will contest it and then we have weeks/months of legal bullshit where he will have to eventually concede.

or civil war.

Trump won't go quietly, he'll make a huge shitstorm of losing.

Probably because she isn't. they have to decide who is least shit, much like we do.
