You do know it’s not illegal to vote against your registered party, right?
After months of Donald Trump’s verbal diarrhea, you’d assume that with less than a week to go until the general election, he’d have little to no supporters remaining. But shockingly, he does.
At this point, Trump supporters must be encouraging him for the sole purpose of wanting a Republican in the White House. He’s made so many outlandish statements, it’s ridiculous.
His latest scandal in which he brags about how his fame allows him to get away with kissing and grabbing women isn’t the only problem — there’s much more where that came from.
Trump’s stance on issues is one thing. He has many conservative views that are pretty absurd.
“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words,” Trump said during his presidential campaign announcement speech.
But hey, some people might favor that huge wall along with forcing another country to pay for it.
That’s why there are different parties. Republicans believe one thing, and Democrats believe another — that’s fine.
But the slick comments Trump makes, along with many of his actions are a whole other ball game. The things he says and does in his personal life, as well as on the campaign trail have been extremely reckless and disturbing.
In 2012, Trump insulted Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, tweeting that she’s, “unattractive, both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.”
He’s always put women down. Let’s not forget his 1991 interview with Esquire: “You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of a–.”
Judging from his track record, I’m pretty sure Trump is only interested in the presidency to see how many women will be attracted to him when he holds the most powerful position in the world.
And it’s not only women he degrades, but people of all races, sizes and religions.
I can’t wrap my head around why any sane person would support such disturbance.
The presidency is much more than policies. Along with stances on issues, you need experience, charisma, tolerance and a decent head on your shoulders.
Like it or hate it, Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to ever run for president of the United States. President Barack Obama, who has an approval rating of 55 percent, said so himself.
Whether you’re Clinton’s biggest fan or not, the better candidate is clear as day.
If we were electing the president of reality television or even the most distasteful man to announce a presidential campaign, sure he’d be the best fit. But we’re not, we’re literally electing the leader of the free world.
Sometimes your party’s candidate isn’t the best choice, and everyone needs to realize this.
