But still He stopt Trump more than Hillary from completeing his answer. He asked Trump more harder questions than Hillary. The only question he asked Hillary was about the emails.

The other TBTers won this argument. The guy was being unbiased. He's pointing at Trump in a negative light while leaving Hillary alone because Trump was acting like a child in the debate. I'm on the far right, but I'm not gonna defend Trump this time.

But if I am far-right, I wouldn't even defend him since he's a liberal.
 
The fact that a lot of his policies will spell trouble and possibly death for minorities, especially racial minorities and lgbt folk, make me hope to god he won't be voted in.

But I'm scared. If he's voted in he's already said he's going to overturn lgbt protections and put in discriminatory laws- and that can spell trouble for trans folk like me. We are already in danger from death and harassment. I don't want it to get worse.

Well, Trump is a child. I'm supporting him over Hillary no matter how bad he is.

The only true thing Trump has said this campaign was "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters."

Which makes it even more baffling that he supports Trump given how anti-immigrant Trump is.

One thing no one can deny, the guy has passion! Good lord is that guy passionate. Not sure how that would be as a president, but at least he's fired up, and getting real issues talked about, stuff a lot of politicians only yammer on about...
 
Unfortunately I think he'll be beaten out by Hillary just barely. Really wish I could vote right about now. X(

What real issues? Homicides caused by illegal immigrants and ISIS inspired terrorist attacks on U.S. soil are drops in the bucket compared to the number of deaths in America caused by gun violence on a daily basis. Yet Trump makes it sound like Mexicans and Muslims are killing people left and right. If anyone here personally knows someone killed by an illegal immigrant or terrorist, then I'll eat my words, but I'm pretty sure a ton more people would be helped by things like raising the minimum wage, affordable college education, and paid sick / family leave instead of building a ****ing wall along the Mexican border.
 
it's ok cuz the mexicans will pay for the wall anyway xD

and lets be honest, there wont be a wave of killings of blacks and hispanics if trump gets elected. he has a long way to go before he gets to the level of duterte in the philippines

Actually, if he shoots one (even just one), he would lose nearly all of his voters. He can also say stuff as bad as Pat Robertson's comments on disasters, LGBT, and a few other things to lose a lot of support. In a time of social media, tolerance, and ethics, people could hear about this very quickly, and nobody (except for the most hateful people and the diehard supporters) would want to vote for a murderer or offensive person in general.

Why is that bad? I'm only supporting him because I don't like Hillary.

I don't think so. In a time of social media, tolerance, and ethics, a man who has said countless racist, sexist, and Islamophobic things and has repeatedly insulted veterans and their families has a legitimate chance of becoming POTUS. If he shot someone (especially if the victim is Hispanic, African American, or a Muslim), his supporters would probably think "America needs a president who has the balls to shoot someone!" And when he gets arrested, his supporters would claim that the government is rigging the election by putting him in jail. His supporters think Hillary Clinton is a murderer like she planned the attack in Bengazi, so they would not care if Trump actually murdered someone. Not to mention Trump would get 24/7 news coverage until election day, and apparently any publicity is good publicity for Trump.

And I'm only supporting him because I am a registered Republican. But he's still unfit for the job. I can totally bet that he's the most hated person in America right now. I certainly don't agree with Trump at all. From where he is right-winged, he is way too extreme. I couldn't handle it. From where he is left-winged, I am right-winged. Back in the primaries, I was primarily supporting Ted Cruz since he is the most right-winged candidate of the time. I also liked Rubio and Carson. Trump was my least favorite person running for the Republican Party. The fact that we're left with him and Hillary shows how polarized we Americans have gotten thanks to Obama and Bush.

Yeah, it's fun to see how he gets away with anything just because people "doesn't like" Hillary. Like complaining on microphones or if Trump would have done the same with his e-mail etc; no one bats an eye. It's like they justify Trump's action and love to lash out at Hillary randomly like omfg arranged selfie!!!11, omg private email!!!11shuft etc.

And yeah of course any publicity is good because he knows he can get away with it because people "believe" so much in him already just because he's not Democrat(side being polarized), not "socialist" etc. and just the candidate they can vote on because they are not satisfied with the others. Tbh if I had to vote Republican I'd almost go with, like, anyone else. I don't support their ideas but at least the other seemed way less billionare fakers.
 
I hate to say it but I'm supporting Trump so I hope he wins. In my eyes, both candidates are awful, liars, and out for their own agendas. But at least with Trump, it's a bit of a wild card, and I don't think congress or big corporations that are not his own will support him. I don't think he'll get very much done.

Hillary, on the other hand, is trying to sell the American people that she is on their team, while covering up emails and selling speeches for hundreds of thousands of dollars to big corporations. Plus she is more likely to get the support of congress and do what she actually wants to do, which is who knows what.

I'd rather have 4 years of not much getting done than 4 years of giving more money to those on top, or worse. Sure Hillary said she would heavily tax the rich, but it makes you wonder why the rich support her if that's truly the case.

Nobody said anything about killings of African americans or Hispanics, he wants to deport an entire religion.

My mom claims that the deportation and banning is necessary because the United States didn't let people immigrate in from Japan, Germany, or Italy back during World War II, and that the same case applies with the Middle East now. But I don't believe we're at war with Islam, and that is why I view the ban Trump bans as unconstitutional.
 
ppl are also vastly overestimating the amount of power the president actually has. congress will fight him tooth and nail over every controversial policy he'll try and push. what congress cant do is stop hillary from compromising the entire intelligence community through laziness, arrogance and sheer incompetence
