US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

[Super Speed]

I think Comey's been corrupt all along and that this latest bit was all engineered in collusion with Clinton's campaign. The psychology of it is brilliant - make a vague announcement less than 2 weeks before the election, letting the anti clinton camp get excited, meanwhile Hillary can say 'bring it on' safely knowing that nothing is coming and making it appear that her confidence comes from innocence. When Comey says nothing's been found, its the end of the ride for the anti clinton camp - they foolishly latched on to the plot and now have no avenue left. Meanwhile, Hillary tells everyone she called their bluff because she knew it had to be a bluff because she is innocent.

I adaptes this from The Great Train Robbery, by Michael Crichton.

Rush Limbaugh made this prediction the day Comey reopened the investigation.

He doesn't make the case that Trump would be worse than Clinton. Saying he's not voting is an attempt to draw interest to his column.

Isn't corruption the thing one should fear the most?

[ilherman]

Dan, any update which button you are going to hit tomorrow?

I agree to an extent. When someone is for sale to the highest bidder like Hillary clearly is, there are many nefarious players looking to take advantage of that. We see that with the donations by Muslim states and their then getting preferential treatment.

What would push you one way or another?

If you are in the voting booth now, you close your nose tight, very tight, you got just 30 seconds because you are holding your breath to take that deep breath when you come out of the booth. WHO DO YOU VOTE FOR?

Same questions goes to all members here living in swing states.

They probably go with status quo

FTFY

That doesn't exist. Has been thrown out the window at the start of this election cycle.

I meant HRC. Not much gonna change from the last 8 years.

We know what you meant. But fool yourself not, there is no status quo, as it is simply unsustainable. There will be major changes, no matter who gets elected. That will be forced by reality (see what's happening to Obamacare as an example).

So if we KNOW that there WILL BE dramatic change, who is more likely to do that avoiding checks and balances, and who is less likely and capable in effecting change that will not be subject to proper check and balances? Which would YOU prefer, changes with checks and balances or without?

A vote is not an endorsement. An endorsement is an endorsement. A vote is a choice
between two possible outcomes. Refusing to vote is refusing to choose, but it is itself a
choice, to be irresponsible without actually avoiding responsibility.

I don't have to like my choices. I frequently don’t, in voting or in other things. I do have to
choose the outcome least likely to harm - or at least likely to do the least harm – to those for whom I’m responsible.
