Ted Cruz Dashes Hopes for Unity by Snubbing Donald Trum

[Rob L 3,811]

At the end of the day it's a matter of opinion. I have never, ever, said Trump will make a good president, quite the contrary, pretty much the most optimistic thing I said about him is he may be like maybe 1% better than Hilary. At the end of the day that's pretty much a tie. I know to you it's just as bad as endorsing him being you think even Hilary would be worlds better than him but I just don't see that. I just don't think she will make a good pres. I don't think Trump will make a good pres. I didn't and don't think Obama made or makes a good pres. I guess I just have unrealistically high standards for what a POTUS should be lol

A 1 % Delta is quite precise, and you seem quite confident in the number. What scale are you measuring by?

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

no, with hillary, things will go on in more or about the same manner. i don't believe for a second she's serious about the platform her and bernie worked on together but her platform alone isn't going to do us in. four more years of trickledown and a feigned (and uninformed) allegiance to state's rights above all else very well might.

Pretty much sums it up right there.

But seriously, I'm still waiting to hear how Trump will be better than Clinton with zero experience and a record that's just as dirty(if not dirtier) as hers is.

okay, you're still saying trump is like, 1% better than hillary. if you can give me a percentage, you should be able to explain your math. where'd the one percent come from? his experience in hollywood? his experience in reality tv? wrestling? did he gain expertise from shooting the ish with alex jones? if you don't give me specifics, i'm just going to fill in the blanks.

It's simple...she's just really that darn bad. Doesn't make him good, just goes to show how horrid she is. And I said maybe.

so basically you just want to be contrary without substance. 1% and not .5%? maybe..

No basically I'm saying they both pretty much suck, but because of the ridiculous things she's already done, Trump might actually have a chance of edging her out by just a little bit. In either case it's not a significant difference so it's a pretty moot discussion. The bottom line is, and the thing to take home from it is, that as I've said repeatedly(despite the attempts of some here to portray me as a Trump supporter) over the past year, there is nobody good to vote for. No one. She sucks, he sucks, not sure how many times that needs to be said just because I happen to think she might suck just a little bit more, it's my opinion, not everything has to be backed by an essay. I guess with me it boils down to - He will do plenty of horrendous things, but he will not do some of the horrendous things she promises to do. Now what you define as horrendous is completely up to interpretation, depending on your political stance and opinions I guess.

like i said, you're just trying to be contrary. you're not even making sense with the bit in bold, unless you're invoking nostradamus. whatever, i get it though you made a general statement without any substance to back it up and now it's clear you're refusing to just admit that you like trump as a presidential candidate more than hillary. that is the simple take away my dear. be honest with yourself.

i'm not voting for hillary but i like hillary as a presidential candidate over trump. see how easy?

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

Here's what I don't get.

If folks here are voting against Hillary due to her record, how is it possible to vote for Trump when he's done practically everything she's done and maybe more?

Bribes? Check. Ties to crime? Check. Untrustworthy? Check. Sexual misconduct? Check. I see your email server drama and raise you the robbing thousands of people by that farce of Trump U. Email leaks? I raise you the funding for vets debacle.

What makes Trump better than Clinton?

Yeah, no doubt it's really that easy, I'm not going to even try to spend the next 5 hours to get you to explain to me why you would take her over Trump, you know why? because it really doesn't matter. What I said in bold does make sense, because her policies, ideas, opinions, some of which she outlined just yesterday are not something I agree with, and are things Trump will not do, and that in and of itself makes him a better choice in my opinion. However like I said the edge is very narrow, which is where the 1% comes from. There are also many things that he has outlined that I can't stand. Hence...

[John Miller 761]

Problem with that approach is that it's gonna be somebody. The Oval office isn't going to remain vacant when Obama leaves.

well, you don't have to ask me why i say she's better candidate, that's what i've been doing this whole convo. so if you're still confused you can just go back and reread what i've already written.

it might help if you would say specifically which of her policies, ideas, opinions you find horrendous. what is hillary going to do that trump will not do, and how do you know what trump will and won't do? trump doesn't even know.

if it's such a narrow ledge it shouldn't be like pulling teeth to get you to state the exact reason for your 1% leaning toward one of the nobodies.

forthwith..come out with it. experience? it seemed like that was what you started out with..

Yeah and unfortunately the options beyond suck. Both of them. There's no sugarcoating it.

[John Miller 761]

And yet, one of them is going to move into 1600 Penn Ave. And the other one will go back to pimping five golden letters...

lol, my opinion on most issues is already known and has been known for a while. I don't like how far left she has gone on most of it. There is really no need for me to sit here and dissect each and every aspect of it because for one it is time consuming when it's all already been said before and two it's pointless. If you want to take that as me not giving a valid reason that's fine I promise it won't hurt my feelings but it ain't a bait I have the time to take right now. A few things to think about though: college tuition(you know where I stand already), supreme court(you know where I stand already), a continuation of Obama's disastrous economic policies(you know where I stand already), gun laws(you know where I stand already), foreign policy and immigration(you know where I stand already)...compare my pretty well known opinions with what Clinton wants and you instantly have your answer.

okay, i've thought about it and determined that you support trump and are embarrassed of that fact.

obama's disastrous economic policies, dude you're a hoot.
