US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

Because his laundry is not as bad as HRC laundry?

So there's a small pile of stinky laundry and a big pile of stinky laundry and I should be excited to vote for the smaller pile?
Neither of these people are trustworthy.

[yoohoo]

Trump claims lots of stuff, most of which are lies.
Why should I trust that he'll appoint a SCOTUS on par with Scalia as opposed to just saying that to get conservatives to vote for him despite his laundry list of liberal policies?

i trust Trump to do whatever makes him look good and will make ppl say wow. HRC only does what is good for her

There's a reason Trumps praised them and fashions himself after them...

Exactly why this choice is so depressing.

Not excited but I would go for the small pile if I had to pick one unless I was a gluten for punishment.

+100.
Exactly. At least there is a slight chance. The other way has zero chance.

Or to rephrase that again, Trump at least claims he'll appoint judges on par with Scalia. Hillary Definitely will not!

With Trump's new "more conservative" cabinet, they may be able to look and find better alternatives for Supreme Court.

What are his liberal policies? Serious question.

His desired far left trade-war scares me the most.
I don't want to pay $2,500 for my next smartphone. Free trade is why we have such a good lifestyle here.

Frankly he could have run as a D just as easily. R was just the easier path this year.

I understand he could have run as a D but why was it easier to run as R? The primaries weren't easy with 16 opponents....

that will take to many years for big trade/import changes happen. It will not impact anyone for over a decade. At least. His daughter's clothing lines are made overseas....
Even his building materials (most probably) originate elsewhere... Trade and import crackdowns will NOT be happening any time soon...

You should definitely NOT trust Trump (or for that matter any candidate) to appoint justices on par with Scalia!

We don't have any good choices. So if one is registered in a state like NY, we can just sit it out and השלך על השם יהבך, but if you are registered in a state where your vote can make a difference, you have a responsibility to do something בדרך הטבע. Since it seems like a significant responsibility, one should practice what the Torah says and do ככל אשר יורוך regardless of personal feelings.

where does the Torah say to vote for DJT?

[good sam]

DWS out

DWS out

And possibly Brazile as well

I thought she was temporally taking over.

Where does it say not to?

[Super Speed]

Where did he say that the Torah says to vote Trump?
I think he meant ask your Rav

[EJB]

And btw, while ny will almost definitely go to Hillary, it isn't as much of a given as other states, like NJ. I'd vote in NY.

Not only did I mean that, it is actually what I wrote.

NY always goes for the Dem by more than NJ. Won't change.
