    Typical Conservative sentiment. Let's put people we don't like in jail NOW, why go through all this folderol as to whether they've actually DONE anything

    No that is typical liberal sentiment...Like when they considered those cops in the Freddie Gray incident guilty before proven innocent. Like when they blame Trump for anti-trump rioters. With Hillary it is an on-going process to try to unravel her's and Bill's obvious convoluted web of deceit and pay-offs for feckless speeches by governments that have little or no human rights...especially for women.

    Exactly. It seems the liberals are much more inclined to take away an individuals constitutional rights when they haven't even done anything wrong for their fear over a few psychos who abuse their rights. That is wrong as wrong can be.

    Right, i am NOT voting against. The lesser of evils vote is a vote against. For me a vote for should be a positive not a negative. I am no longer a negative voter.

    I fail to see your logic of a non vote being a collective vote for for all.

    I disagree that he's a "creep." He is FAR less creepy than The Donald and his hamster hair or Hillbilly and her banshee looking smile. :)

    I do disagree with Gary on immigration (open borders) issues, but I agree with him on almost everything else. So? You aren't going to find a candidate that you agree with 100% of the time.

    Every year, there are a tremendous amount of write in votes for folks not running for the office. The name usually leading the list is Micky Mouse, although he has never received enough votes to win the office.

    This might be Micky's year.

    Probably have to be Trump

    1. Anti-immigration (hopefully he'll dramatically decrease immigration)
    2. International trade issues. I hope he'll stop playing the neoliberal game
    3. Sees the nation-state as the fundamental unit around which international relations are conducted
    4. Not too conservative on issues of healthcare.

    Does anyone know Trump's position on higher education? I don't think he's ever brought it up.

    Not American so I fortunately don’t have to face that dilemma. If I lived in the US though I would probably vote for Johnson or Stein. Trump would be out of the question since none of his major policies seem sensible to me, and some are outright mental. And Hillary is, well, Hillary.

    I like a lot of what Trump has to say. I just don't like that it is Trump saying it. He was not in the top three of who I wanted and supported as the GOP Candidate in November. Yes, I will vote for Trump. Why? Hillary!

    I'm sticking with Gary I think. :) I can't bring myself to vote for either of the frontrunners. They both make me sick! Lol.

    I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton. Her budget deficit is lower than Donald Trump's.

    Donald Trump wants to lower taxes, but that economic theory, where lower taxes equals economic prosperity, is a sham.

    We need taxes to pay for things.

    Don't you think it would be a better idea to cut out wasteful spending that the government spends our tax payer dollars on? Perhaps they could be more accountable for what they are spending where. We all know that there is so MUCH waste. Why should we tax payers have to pay 1 cent more until they get their spending under control? They are a like a 16-year-old at the mall with daddy's credit card.

    Well of course we need to get spending under control.

    But for overall debt reduction I'm going to have to go with the person with the lowest deficit spending. Clinton.

    And definitely not the one who will cut taxes. Trump.

    Other than you might feel better for a few moments, why vote?

    When you see the results, guess who will win? And why don't you think Gary is the frontrunner?

    I like him too. But won't help Hillary by removing my vote from the guy who as polls prove, is in the running to knock her out.

    It is really not my tax dollars. I don't see how it is your tax dollars for that matter.

    The rich pay the bills.

    Frankly too many of the rich are in the tank for Hillary. She swims in their money.

    I don't think they like her, but they like staying in the mix as to government.

    What are you talking about? I pay taxes.

    Besides, I didn't say "my" tax dollars, I said "our" tax dollars.

    Lol. What? It's my duty as a citizen of the US, that's why. No, Gary is not a frontrunner. There are only two frontrunners at the moment.

    I did not intend you to get the idea YOU pay no taxes. I realize that taxes digs far deeper into our pockets than merely the Feds income taxes.

    But look at the system and who pays the most taxes. Not me nor you. We pay so little in comparison to even Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Curry, the Movie stars, pro team players, etc, that I doubt they believe you or I are a factor to the IRS.

    I believe around 47 percent pay no income taxes. They pay other taxes, yet to the IRS no income taxes. SS taxes are based on income levels, but are not Income taxes to be used by the Feds to pay it's bills. They borrow, sure, but still to borrow is not the same as having. When a person pays income taxes, that is not a loan to the Feds as is SS taxes.

    What worries me about your vote is who you allow to win.

    Sales tax and other taxes all go to the government. We are all taxpayers.

    Well, I'm sorry but it's my decision ultimately who I vote for, and I don't want to vote for either Trump or Clinton. I couldn't.
