    Yea, it matters.

    Just look at what 8 years of Obama did for this country.

    And he and Mrs O made 18 million. Not counting the swiss account funded by the Clinton Global Initiative.

    Mrs O, who does not have a job, made 11.8 million…

    It's a free country and you are free to waste as much of your time as you want. Whether you cast your vote for Trump or not makes exactly zero difference as he will get all of the electoral votes of your state, just like Clinton will get all of my state.
    The problem Trump has is in places like Ohio. His supposedly great negotiating skills weren't enough to get the people in charge of the republican organizations in Ohio to support him. And for all his supposed wealth he doesn't want to pay people to run effective on-the-ground operation to mobilize support.
    Idaho, NY, CA, TX, OK, etc. don't matter; Ohio, Florida, Michigan, etc. do.

    There are many people who don't have a job and invest and make millions and billions. Now who could one of those folks be? Not Mr trump by any chance.

    before you answer consider are questionable political practices any better or worse than questionable business practices.

    You all realize when you rant against the wealthy who control the political process Trump is exactly one of those guys. He's been doing it since the 80s and he's been heavily involved in politics even if he has never actually held office. He's the puppetmaster.

    You folks are really gulping down the kool aide.

    Sorry,,, but that is simply me being honest, I look though these threads and realize that most of the people posting are either not from the US, or are only here to make money in the US.

    So about 80% of all your opinions mean zero nada zip IMHO..

    As a Libertarian

    Gary Johnson is simply a fruitloop and would NEVER get my vote.. If there were a real Libertarian Candidate running I would consider it..

    I actually like Trump, and I really like the fact that he is NOT a Republican per se, the appeal to me is that all of the "fringe" hates him,, The Far Right and the Loony Left..

    To give you perspective I liked Rand Paul but I was part of a small minority, and in my state I never even got the option to vote for him in the primary...

    To me it is very simple

    Hillary is worse then Obama
    Johnson is a Joke

    Yep I am voting Trump all the way...

    Or simply read the last paragraph of the letter I posted,,,

    "Public service has become elected greed. This may be our only chance to have a non-politician, despite his flaws, try and correct the mess, at least for 4 years. We must take the shot,"

    a Non-Politician I will take that chance


    Well thanks for your candor Gssixgun however we have more in common than you may think. Toronto, Canada just happens to be where I currently live. It's the fifth country in 25 years. Tells you nothing about my nationality. I'm as American as many members on this forum. For your future reference there's a very large ex-pat community living is many countries around the world. We pay taxes and actually vote in larger percentages than the home crowd. It may be quite telling that you would dismiss someone's opinions based on little knowledge of who they are.

    "Sorry,,, but that is simply me being honest".


    So why didn't you answer my questions? I didn't ask if you would vote for the current Democratic or Libertarian candidate. I asked if you would vote Trump for all the reasons you listed in your letter if he was their candidate?

    Also I asked if you think anyone, Trump or any other candidate could really make substantive change that you seem to want if they have any party affiliations? "We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic and Republican Party". Let alone the whole congressional road block / den of thieves.

    It is because I don't care what you think ...

    I don't care to answer your questions

    I don't care if you like or dislike any candidate

    What part of that did you miss in that letter

    We don't care, myself and many like me would rather take a chance on Trump then the known cesspool of Clintonian rule..

    It really is just that simple now


    Here let me quote it again for ya

    [I]"We don't care if the guy swears... or how many times he's been married...or who he voted for, or what his income tax return shows. We want the problems fixed. Yes he's an egomaniac, but we don't care. We know he's not a racist, or bad to women, or all the other things the liberal media is trying to label him with. We know he's raised a good family, and that says a lot about him.

    The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere and Muslims are openly trying to hurt this country and make the civilized world adjust to them. We want it all fixed!

    We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he fights with Megan Kelly, Rosie O'Donnell, and so many of the elected establishment. We don't care that Rubio, Cruz, Ryan, the Bush's, and so many other top old and new Republicans refuse to endorse him for their own selfish reasons, and we know what they are. We don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorists, we don't care that he tried a few businesses that didn't work out.

    This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims, where every Tom, Dick, and Harry is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in, AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. And TRUMP is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.

    We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic and Republican Party. We're angry about the Iran deal, the budget, treatment of Israel, military weakness, lobbyists, special interests, overpaid politicians with their self serving bills and back room deals, trade deals, loss of jobs, manipulated economic numbers, businesses fleeing, and even the phony pay for play Clinton Foundation.

    Americans are no longer going to be fooled, and the movement is out to change the direction we're taking. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him, and all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, he's flexible, and he's also not a politician. And he says he'll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

    Public service has become elected greed. This may be our only chance to have a non-politician, despite his flaws, try and correct the mess, at least for 4 years. We must take the shot, because the consequences of putting Hillary Clinton in office are frightening. There is a tidal wave happening, and its going to overcome much of what's happened to this country......

    PS: You should note that is was addressed to the RNC

    As Glen says these days ABC, except that in his case they did make it happen. He was the only guy who was a real threat and could've upended the status quo in republican power and he was defeated. Whether Trump wins or loses in November the powers in the republican party will be just fine. They already made him take Pence.
