The Wall is coming

Fox calls Wisconsin in Trump's favor.

Everyone's making a big deal over Trump leading in PA right now but with that small of a margin I don't think it means much at this stage

The Wall is coming

What's wrong with building a wall on our border again?

The deal is that he's holding that lead longer than anyone thought possible, which is not a good sign for Hillary.

 

[Philia]

Yeah, where's the proof of that happening? I think the average conservative-leaning voter identifies potential cynical media easier than you would think.

It's not really an endorsement of Trump, it's wanting to nuke the system from orbit and "fire" everyone. I'm not saying it's necessarily logical...but yeah.

No proof of groping but he is still a batshit crazy candidate. People might not like Hillary but Voting for Trump is equally crazy.

If there is no proof of any the allegations, why is it crazy?

It is sickening anyone stood behind her the moment the emails were released and didn't try to fight her nomination against Bernie. Absolutely sickening, but hey, she's a woman and winning would "make history" so they wanted her in instead.

People go with what's familiar, or what's comfortable.

My opinion of her was sort of made up long before Wikileaks starting putting the screws to her. I flirted with the idea of voting for her just to prevent a Trump presidency, but the reality is, Trump was never going to win my state. My vote was essentially meaningless. I almost left that section of my ballot unmarked out of protest.

I have no doubt that there will be a shitload of people on the left calling for reform, and I think I sort of agree. The issue is, this will be treated as a political football and more "libcuck tears" and what not. So nothing will be done about it.

What's wrong with building a wall on our border again?

Nothing. But it might be a big waste of money though. Since majority of you illegal immigrants don't cross borders. They rather fly to America. And a wall is not going to stop that. And Mexico is not going to pay for that.

Hillary or Trump, America has my condolences

We already have a border wall and fence. His plan is utterly unfeasible and a moneysink. It'll never be built and it won't solve the "problem" he thinks exists.

No proof of groping but he is still a batshit crazy candidate. People might not like Hillary but Voting for Trump is equally crazy.

I think Trump is an ignorant, trolling, attention-whore. But that doesn't make him crazy. The difference for a large portion of people appears to be Hillary representing status quo, and Trump representing russian roulette.

The same for me. Before the whole email scandal, I just thought she wasn't fit because she was running with shallow ideas and the support of women because she's a woman. That disappointed me as a woman because I thought it was really shitty, but then the emails came out...and out again. It just shows she's not what we want or need right now.

Trump wants a reform anyways, so the left, if they call for it, will get it. It's in his 100 day plan, isn't it?

So Trump is a Molotov-Cocktail to be thrown onto the government, burn it down and hope Trump builds something better outta its ashes?

I'm not sure if that's a solid plan...

Trump doesn't appear to be very likeable either. Many voted for him because they did not want Killary. That is the issue. It is a failure of democracy if you're left to chose either groper or killary.

After months of not posting any US Election memes i'm letting loose

A large portion of our illegal immigrants come across our borders. I agree that Mexico isn't going to pay for it and I have no idea how Trump hopes to do that. lol

We already have a border wall and fence. His plan is utterly unfeasible and a moneysink. It'll never be built and it won't solve the "problem" he thinks exists.

I wouldn't call what we have right now a wall. A flimsy fence is far more accurate. A proper wall or means of blocking illegal immigration is a wise decision. He just has to go about it right.

 

[Philia]

I think Trump is an ignorant, trolling, attention-whore.

That is my point. Hillary maybe unfit to be the president. But that doesn't make Trump fit.

 

[Styx]

Why can't anyone ever prove their claims against Trump? Racist how? Ignorant how? If you are going to say it, please back it up...

Trump doesn't appear to be very likeable either. Many voted for him because they did not want Killary. That is the issue. It is a failure of democracy if you're left to chose either groper or killary.

Ah, I see. I disagree. A lot of the votes, at least on the Republican side, comes from hoping he will bring change since he isn't a politician and is honest. I think stray Democratic voters and third-party voters definitely voted for Trump because they could not in good faith choose Hillary.

I know many of you don't like Mexico. But Mexico is one of the fastest growing economy in the world. In 40 years they'll be among the top 10 economies in the world. I think it's important to have a good relation with Mexico. In the long run it will be better for America.

I think purely as a civil servant, she was run of the mill. I'm not interested in believing the best or worst thing said about her. But there is nothing about her as a politician that is impressive to me. She's not the candidate I wanted. I would have even taken O'Malley over her, and I had huge problems with him as our governor.

I'm talking about revamping the electoral college. Which would require a super-majority in a republican-controlled congress. Plus, the system is what got Trump elected, so why would he go against his own interests if he wins? You don't really expect that sort of altruism out of this guy, are you?

70000 lead in Michigan. Trump got that too, it seems.
