19 of the speeches at the RNC so far mention Clinton by name, while only 7 mentioned their own partys nominee Trump, and most of those were by his own family

"but clinton" is the mating call of the 21st century's closet case

voting for incompetent evil instead of very competent evil is actually a smart move

Evil doesn't exist. Incompetence does. It's smart to fear incompetence more than evil. Incompetence gets taken advantage of. The fact that Paul Manafort, Trump’s main political advisor, is also one of Vladimir Putin's advisors and Trump has already come out saying he might not honor NATO treaty obligations, while making statements in the past about using the US military to commit war crimes is telling.

Trump is a sell out to the global mafia and no Russian soldier should listen to bullshit and violate their neighbors.

Ok then which do you prefer, a president that works against your best interests in an incompetent way or a president that works against your best interests in a highly competent way?


also the soviet union doesn't exist anymore. what's the purpose of NATO now? why should the American people fund the defense of all of Europe while at the same time being told that universal healthcare, college for all, real retirement plans, etc. are just too expensive to be feasible?

if you are concerned about wars and war crimes then you should pay close attention to Hillary's position on Israel and specifically Iran because she's gonna move us waaaay to the right on foreign policy. Does regime change in Syria resulting in another failed state like Libya sound like a good idea to you? that's year one of a Clinton administration.

I'm not sure I buy the "if Trump gets elected the Democrats will just block all of the bad poo poo he tries to do and we'll be better off than with Hillary" argument because the way Trump and the party are going, I don't think opposing filibusters and blocks are going to be met only with "welp, we're stuck."

if you;re trying to make the argument that the Democrats have a poor history of opposing even the most horrendous Republican policy I would agree that you have a point.

still it's better for bad policy to face some resistance. I'm just saying that for example if Trump tries to invade Syria he would be opposed by the Dems in Congress. If Clinton tries to invade Syria then everybody would agree that it's a great idea and the Republican's only criticism would be that we aren't bombing hard enough

We have the biggest market in the world, the market that every manufacturer wants to sell their products in. Allowing manufacturers to move good American jobs overseas and then still sell their products in this market without penalty is insane for everybody except the guy that owns the manufacturing company.

all rich people cheat on their taxes, I think Trump has straight-up said that he pays as little as he can get away with because why shouldn't he?

and actually the paid speeches are loving insane and far beyond anything that we have allowed from major party candidate for President before.

Hillary Clinton has been paid tens of millions of dollars, personally (not campaign contributions), from some of the worst people on earth. If you don't think that money has strings attached to it then I have a bridge to sell to you. Wall Street, big pharma, weapons manufacturers, foreign governments all have pre-purchased specific policy and appointments from the future Clinton administration. This should scare the gently caress out of all of us.

Trump is stuffing his cabinet and VP with political insiders from the RNC which is just as awash in dirty loving money. Donald Trump apparently sold you a bridge named Donald Trump for President

what RNC insiders has he named for his cabinet?

and I don't deny that Trump's administration has a high likelihood of just being mainstream Republican business as usual. I still think that preferable to this dangerous new hybrid thing that Clinton is doing.

Didn't we used to oppose unlimited money in elections? How can we say that Citizen's United is a bad thing when our own loving candidate has been personally paid $30 million from the same anti-progressive special interests that fund rightwing super pacs?

Yeah I agree. Trump, who sold himself as a Washington outsider with no ties to dirty money, is very quickly inserting himself into the "corrupt and rigged system" he railed against in the primaries. Come election day, the republicans will have broken him into just another establishment candidate.

Drumpf isn't really a parody, that's what his family name actually was before they changed it.
