Hasn't been very quiet or efficient so far

If I were Clinton I would just run 1 ad showing Trump praising Putin, his top advisers all having close ties to Putin, and then the video of Trump asking Russia for help.

Problem is this isn't the 80s.
I think most people would be happy if satan himself brought the illegally deleted emails into the light.

That's nothing compared to a xenophobic, racist, neo-nazi who has built his own business through corruption. Then again, that's probably your thing

It's incredible.

I can't believe people are ok with electing someone who has praised Putin, has advisors that have close ties to Putin, and who Putin has publicly declared he likes. This is one step too far, asking Russia to intervene with our election and hack into our servers.

I don't care if it's no longer the cold war, Putin and Russia are still dangerous, and electing Trump is incredibly dangerous if only for that reason.

Of course, the SCOTUS issue is primary for me, but the thing about Putin/Russia is that it's not even a partisan issue.

Honestly Trump is not going to win.

I can't wait till November! Finally a leader I can look up to. It's going to be great.

Are you even American?

In the midst of this whole ISIS debacle, I think you'll find more people trust Putin than they do any Western leader or politician

Then they would be stupid and committing a grave mistake?

Is that your point? That they're stupid?

Believe it or not, there are bigger issues then ISIS threatening this country. You know, healthcare, fair wages, equality for minorities just to name a few. If that's your reasoning for liking Putin then you need to educate yourself. I doubt you have much higher then a middle school education though

I remember Romney stating that "the real enemy of the next president will be Russia, not China" (or something along those lines) and the republicans loving it, especially as he was proved right with Crimea. Will they change their tune for Trump? Possibly, I wouldn't put it past Trump being able to pull this off.

This could end up another brexit-like vote. Seems like Bernie supporters wants to not vote in protest... Even though I'm personally for Bernie's politics because of his clear influence from Scandinavian politics, I don't see how not voting for Hillary is any alternative worth considering.

I've voted like 4 times at this point. All four times I've voted against someone instead of not voting, because I disagree. Not voting in protest only makes things worse. Better to vote for the least bad thing than not at all.

Says the person who insults an entire region and says they'd blow it up because their family is "threatened". Yeah, talk about hypocritical

I didn't insult a entire region. And I've never said I want to blow anything up. But when ever someone disagrees with you you get angry and start with the petty insults.

Wow. Stop lying. Do I really need to take a look at the ISIS thread to see what you've said? Don't play stupid with me.

You can have an opinion, I don't care. But you're just talking shit most of the time. Maybe if you didn't single out entire regions for the actions of a few I wouldn't have a problem.

Take responsibility for your posts or screw off

see that's where your wrong. I didn't blame a region I blamed a religion. And again your going on with the insults. That's how terorrism starts in the first place mate. People that get angry and won't tolerate anyone that thinks different to them. I bid you good day

Good grief, if you want to lie about what you said, go ahead, like I said, don't say things and then look back and act like it didn't happen

Jesus Christ this is a stupid conversation

Anyway there you have it. I'll be interested to see what the numbers look like after Hillary's convention bounce and a little bit of time to settle down after the conventions. That being said, it's a long way to go yet, I'm not going to worry about polls much...yet.

That's what happens when you try to reason with @unique . I'm sorry I tried.

CBarca. It will be a landslide. Objectively speaking, you can't win without the minority vote. It just won't happen

you should run for president seeing as you know everything

I'm sorry, is someone talking to me? Oh, must be a 10 year old kid on my ignore list. Moving on

I think I will leave it there. Best not make you mad again

And the 50 statements are representative of each candidates' whole body of statements?
How they can possibly produce a representative sample that small of a politician's whole body of statements.

I do wonder what inferences people make when they see an infographic.

I checked Robert Mann's Twitter feed. Turns out, not such an impartial guy.

All I hear is excuses. I'd love to see you counter that argument instead of bullshitting "hey, this is wrong". You sound like trump. "Just trust me bro".
