I don't support hillary, but a politician changing their position based on what voters want is called representing your constituency. We're not voting for avatars of policy incarnate, just people who will repeat what the majority of us would say in that situation. That's representative democracy.

The best part about John Oliver roasting the republicans was when they provided Newt Gingrich with statistical data that crime rates have lowered and Newt going "yeah but feelings matter more than statistics and i feel like it hasn't"
I liked his interview on Fallon. They were discussing the lack of jobs, and Fallon asked him what he was going to do about creating more work, and getting people out of unemployment. His reply was, 'I'm just gonna do it.'
trump's VP is going to have a lot of power though. he has no foreign affairs knowledge and according to kasich his VP would be the most important in history

honestly when a candidate like Hillary's up against Trump there's kind of no surprise in regards to his popularity
not to say I'd vote trump over her though

the best part was trump's son asking john kasitch if he wanted to handle all domestic and foreign policy [everything a president does] if given the vice presidency and when kasitch's camp replied with "what will trump do?" his son said "make america great again"
i think his views are pretty much that gay and trans people are cool, but his VP choice has historically voted against every LGBT bill ever proposed and is also a massive homophobe.
i'm pretty sure the GOP picked his vice president since it seems like they secretly hate each other but if trump is president gay marriage and every other issue will be left to the states

Tbh Bernie had the power to burn down Philly tonight but he didn't
Trump's main concern is resolving the economy issues. He has outwardly said that he personally does not support same-sex marriage, but I've not seen anything of what this means in legal terms. As for the whole building a wall thing, I'm pretty sure no one thinks he's actually going to build a wall, and it's not really something people should focus on. The fact that he's happy to be open about facts and figures regarding national debt, unemployment, and global economic manipulation, and look for solutions to these, is a huge step up from many of his predecessors.

Oh believe me I am not going to deny most/all politicians on both sides are 100% truth tellers, because that's wrong
I just like Trump especially because he's not lumped in with establishment politicians
I would say the same for Bernie
I would vote him 100 times over Clinton if I had to for some reason
well, i didn't quote ur post trying to imply trump lies more than hillary, i just quoted it showing how you like most republicans are major hypocrites lol
he doesn't actually have any views, he just says whatever he thinks will get him the votes at the time which is why in the republican primaries which is filled with a bunch of racists he said he'd build a wall to block the mexicans and make those same mexicans pay for it (idiots in the south were rolling in hay when they heard that) now he's slowly backpedaling since he knows it won't win him a general election in a few months

I'll save this for later, as well as any counter points/comments because it's late and i don't have headphones to keep quiet, but there is also a Clinton lying for 13 minutes straight video too lol
