Never mix politics/religion/race/hashkafa into business. These topics should never be discussed in a business or professional setting.

If you still support Trump, go to a doctor and have your head, heart and soul checked.

I saw the following in this week's Mauldin Thoughts from the Frontline and thought it says things brilliantly (for anyone thinking of voting for Johnson, or for anyone that thinks Clinton or Trump have real solutions, or that Trump getting the nomination was a fluke):

"The trouble with all this dissing of globalization and free trade is that, like some generals, both major political parties are fighting the last war, not the ones we face today and tomorrow. And the Libertarian Party seems to think that the correct philosophy by itself will cure the problems, which it may do in the long run; but philosophy doesn’t pay the bills or create jobs in the short run.

"However, we should recognize that aimless, disorganized criticism isn’t necessarily wrong. Real economic problems led to Donald’s Trump’s GOP nomination. Ditto for the strong Bernie Sanders run against Hillary Clinton. People aren’t just imagining their pain."

I am no fan of Hillary. In fact I can't stand her.
But Trump is the lowest form of humanity.

This is a global common denominator of the left (as witnessed in the US, Israel, etc.) and has one simple source - arrogance! (which usually comes along with כפירה - as אמונה demands some form of humility).

On substance, there's no question in my mind that Hillary has a lot more going for her than Trump.

BUT:

1. I don't believe her.
2. I do believe she will make nominations/appointments which are extremely dangerous (see my other posts upthread, including the latest one about Arrogance and כפירה).

I've voted for president - Republican my whole life.

Defend his latest comments. Please defend it. And show how you too are a lowlife, (or your so far up Trump's tuchis, you can see Chris Christie's feet)

I honestly don't care how he speaks or if he acts immature, I don't take the presidency so serious like other people say that we need to be able to look up to them. The guy is a goy period. The only thing I care about are policies and that I think Trump will do a lot better than HRC.

Except Trump doesn't know policy. He doesn't even know Russia invaded Ukraine.

A president reacts to world events. Look how he reacts! Don't you realize how dangerous he is?!

I never knew that there were so many dumb people out there.

And don't try to paint my reaction as a biased reaction, I've never felt this way about anyone supporting anyone before.

Which is (risking being stoned for being super redundant) why the only thing that really matters is SCOTUS nominations (and to a certain extent Cabinet and lower level appointments - as some of those yield a lot more power than the POTUS).

I've seen nothing to indicate why I should trust him to nominate conservative judges.

The only reason I've heard to vote for him is:

A friend in shul put it like this, you have a revolver to your head, do you pick Hillary with all 6 chambers loaded or do you pick the Donald and play Russian roulette with 5 out of 6 loaded...

Sigh.

What I don't understand is, even regarding policy Trump is a liberal. The choice is between an insane lowlife reactive narcissistic scam artist con man - LIBERAL. And a fake corrupt annoying liberal.

"Barack Obama’s speech the night before was more Reaganesque than anything we saw at the Republican convention. The fact it was so staggeringly hypocritical merely underscored the breadth and depth of the political opportunity Donald Trump has given the Democrats. Only in the era of Trump would Democrats dare to try to compete with the Republicans on the turf of American exceptionalism."

See http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

Unless you vote in one of the top ten states on the Voter Power Index (and I'm being generous), it is purely dumb to take this election as such a serious personal choice.

The actual outcome of the election might actually depend on how many D's end up voting for Jill Stein in places like MI, OH, FL, NV, PA etc.
