I know, I know nobody gives a shit who I decide to vote for. So point taken, but Im starting this thread anyway. Im doing so for two reasons 1) everybody else starts theads annoucing who they are supporting 2) I believe a lot of people that are voting for trump have a similar rational to mine, so maybe this thread can provide some insight as to why a lot of ppl are voting for trump. Anyway I have two reasons why Im voting Trump. Here they are:
1) The first reason is the supreme court. Hillary has stated she wants to put progressives on the SC. While my trust when it comes to Trump isnt very high, i trust that he will make better selections than hillary on this matter.
2) Hillary wants to allow millions of muslim refugees in the country. An action that I am vehemently against. In particularly when the director of the FBI and director of homeland security is tells us our government cannot suficently vet them.
Donald Trump by no means is a perfect candidate. I dont buy into the caricature that the media tries to create though. Hes not stupid, a bigot, or some who hasnt achieved a tremendous amount of succes in buisness. Im not going to lie, Im not confident he will make a good president, but it is concievable that he would. I dont see that possiblity for hillary clinton.
I wouldn't say I am on the bandwagon but I am pretty close to where you are. I don't believe Trump is going to be a great president but I know Hillary will be a total disaster. Trump might be a disaster too.
I think way too much is being made about the Supreme Court... Let's face it, we're not going to get another Antonin Scalia. The court is ostensibly lost already. What happens when Trump picks someone who is fairly reasonable that we can live with and Congress rejects them for being "too conservative?" Will Trump give in to pressure and then pick a liberal? We don't know but we can pretty much be assured Congress is going to test him. He is not giving me much confidence that he will stick to conservative principles. Will he go full-retard liberal once elected? Don't know! Maybe?
It comes down to... we don't really have a choice. It's either going to be the most corrupt and crooked candidate in history, Hillary... OR an unknown quantity in Trump.
One thing that sways me toward Trump more is the VP pick. I have a great deal of respect for Mike Pence and I think Tim Kaine is a fruit loop. So this wouldn't be the first time I voted for president based on his VP pick... I did that with McCain, to be honest. But be clear on this, if I do decide to vote for Trump, it doesn't mean I am on any bandwagon. I am not a pom-pom waver. I will hold him accountable and I will be on his ass like a little pit bull when it comes to the issues. To his little band of cheerleaders out there... I'm not going to shut up. I will be busting your chops every single day. Don't expect me to abandon my principles and don't expect me to forget how you've treated people like Ted Cruz. I don't like your attitudes, I don't like Trump's attitude... I simply don't have another choice because Hillary has to be stopped.
The two-party horseshit is extortion. And every time we give in to it, it gets worse.
