I'm not justifying anything. I'm refuting assertions made on this very thread that the violence is somehow the fault of the "lefties". It seems that you and your cohorts are the ones doing the justifying. The (violent) protestors are human trash. I can see why they are attracted to the Trump rallies ... shit always attracts flies.

The reason you don't see Trump supporters protesting at the Dem rallies is they're too illiterate to find their way any further than to the Aryan brotherhood twitter feeds. The few that can actually read above the 2nd grade level are too strung out on oxycontin and meth to even try.

You seem to be the who knows little about Clinton. You are still an idiot.

Good grief what a sad and misguided soul you are. I almost feel sorry for you.

Just why, exactly, are there different restrictions on insurance plans per state? It's because different states have different rules, and the insurance companies can't offer the same plan in all states. If we had one set of identical rules for all states, then offering the same plans in all states would be a no-brainer.


The thing about the ACA that no republican seems willing to acknowledge is the fact that it enables flexibility in the workforce. In the past, older people like me were somewhat locked into 'group health plans' due to the fact that premiums outside of group plans for older folks were prohibitively expensive and/or full of exclusions. Due to the ACA, I was able to drop out of 'corporate America' and get an 'off the shelf' plan from an insurance company that was reasonably affordable - no exclusions or premiums due to pre-existing conditions. So now I've started my own business for the first time in my life, at age 57, and have predictable health insurance costs.


The problem is, most of the complainers are in fact covered by group health plans which remain largely unchanged under ACA, and they rely on the media for stories about how the ACA has affected the individual market. It's true the individual market did offer cheaper plans in the past; but those plans were full of restrictions, were only available to healthy people, and could be cancelled if you actually made a claim - so they were cheaper but useless.

Re: 2016 Election
 

So do you disagree that Clinton would do the things I suggest? I don't view this as a vote for 'Clinton'; I view this as a vote for someone (anyone) who will retain and improve the ACA; attempt to restrict gun sales; attempt to preserve a woman's right to choose; etc. Your answer suggests I am misguided in thinking Clinton would be more likely to do these things than Trump.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Your post reeks of smugness and pretty much sums up the liberal mindset

Look at this:

Videos Show Woman Hit With Eggs, Tomatoes at Trump Rally

But according to you the victims are so dumb they deserved it - anyone who supports Trump is a moron, after all, not like those studious Clinton and Sanders supporters who are just so clever

Where are the liberal feminists at, btw? A group of angry men ganging up and pelting a women with eggs - tad misogynistic if you ask me

Re: 2016 Election
 

How would she do any of that in a Republican controlled house?

Did you pull that stuff from her website or make it up?

Obama's tried and failed to control gun sales, how would she go further given her mandate would presumably be far smaller?

How would she do anything for women when the she apparently pays women who work for her less than men?

Re: 2016 Election
 

When it comes to you...it's just so damned easy. Hard to resist.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Nah...you deserve what you get.

Re: 2016 Election
 

I honestly don't get the "Did you pull that stuff from her website or make it up?" comment; it seems like you believe Trump would do more for women's rights than Clinton, and would be more of an advocate for gun control than Clinton, which defies logic. I don't expect Clinton to make much progress on gun control, just as Obama was unable to make progress; but I'd prefer 'no progress' to a complete cave-in to the NRA. If the NRA get their way, teachers will be sitting in classrooms with guns.


You aren't going to change your mind, and I'm not going to change mine, when it comes to Trump/Clinton. The purpose of this thread is to discuss what we think will actually happen during the November election, DESPITE our own personal preferences. I am seriously concerned that Trump could win, despite my thinking that he would be the worst thing to happen to the US in a long time. Clinton's recent attack on Trump's foreign policy approach was the start of what I hope is a long string of 'policy' based discussions, which should in my opinion demonstrate that she is clearly a better candidate ... but only time will tell.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Gun ownership is a right of every law abiding citizen so not sure what you think Clinton is going to do on that score, no president can meddle with the constitution in that way. Amazes me why anyone with a pathological dislike of guns would choose to move to America

Clinton has said and done nothing to suggest she's the better candidate - her speech the other day was supposed to be about her own agenda on foreign affairs, instead she spent it slinging mud at Trump which shows just how much she's rattled by him

Re: 2016 Election
 

I'm disappointed. There doesn't seem to be a chapter on how she "murdered Vince Foster".
