    Here are the top 10 reasons to vote Democrat - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com

    10. Vote Democrat because you can’t wait for college football season to be delayed or cancelled because the student athletes are union employees.

    9. Vote Democrat because you believe oil company’s profits of 4 percent on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15 percent isn’t.


    8. Vote Democrat because you believe the government will do a better job of spending the money you earn than you would.


    7. Vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.


    6.Vote Democrat because you’re way too irresponsible to own a gun, and know that your local police are all you need to protect yourself from murderers and thieves. You’re also thankful you have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.


    5. Vote Democrat because you’re not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.


    4. Vote Democrat because you think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the Social Security from those who paid into it.


    3. Vote Democrat because you believe businesses should NOT be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.


    2. Vote Democrat because you believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.


    And the Number One reason to vote Democrat is:



    1. You think that it’s better to pay billions for oil to people who hate us and want us destroyed, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, fish or frog.

    ** Allen West truly is a friggin' idiot.

    General dislike for Hillery may just be enough to make Trump our next POTUS.

    Bush Jr. won his last election with 47% of the Hispanic vote.
    Romney lost with something like 27%.

    Trump will be lucky if he gets a handful.

    But it's moot anyway, the only way he'll end up running is as an independent and that would be fucking marvellous.

    I don't buy that.

    The people that wouldn't vote for Hillary are basically the same that didn't vote for Obama and he's completing his second term.

    Plus no sane or rational independent would vote that egomaniac Trump as a protest vote.

    I voted for Ross Perot out of protest. He had some neat charts and liked his "giant sucking sound" phrase. Bush senior lost and Hillary's hubby won.

    In the second 1992 Presidential Debate, Ross Perot argued:

    We have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It's pretty simple: If you're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory South of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor,...have no health care—that's the most expensive single element in making a car— have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don't care about anything but making money, there will be a giant sucking sound going south.

    ...when [Mexico's] jobs come up from a dollar an hour to six dollars an hour, and ours go down to six dollars an hour, and then it's leveled again. But in the meantime, you've wrecked the country with these kinds of deals.

    He sounds positively sane in comparison. More concrete policy in that one selected quote than any of Trumps's rants about 'great' walls and 'great' stopping all Muslims traveling to the U.S. and everything being 'great' because he's so 'great'.

    I'll bet you 11 wiggle doggles and two prondy rdondys that Trump won't be the Republican nominee, SL.

    Ah, imagine:

    The Donald Trump Party
    The Republican Party
    The Democratic Party
    The Sleepy Party

    . . . the general elections.

    As Landreth and others have said numerous times ... anybody who thinks this doesn't comprendo electoral politics. HRC will not lose a single blue state and will likely win Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia ... and probably even take Florida.

    And no matter how much smack people talk about Republicans the only fans of Trump are the Teabaggers. I dounbt if they represent 20% of the party.

    By the way ... I trumped in the office yesterday

    Further to that, I just read this:

    "Per the RealClearPolitics average of polls, roughly thirty per cent of Republicans say they'll vote for Trump. According to Pew, self-identified Republicans comprise just 23 per cent of eligible voters. That means Trump is the preferred candidate of just under seven per cent of the US electorate"

    This gives one hope in the knowledge that 50% of Americans are not batshit crazy, semi-retarded, gun-loving, right wing nutjobs

    Trumpers.....
    First, this was a bad night for Trump. Even by Trump’s standards, which are cartoonishly low, he embarrassed himself. He has no answers, no ideas, and no discernible reason to run for president. He doubled down on his plan to kill the family members of suspected terrorists, ignoring the Geneva Convention in the name of “toughness.” His strategy to defeat ISIS amounts to “hiring good people” and building a “great wall.” For most of the night, he flailed like the petulant clown that he is, and gave no indication that he’s taking any of this seriously.
    Trump is a national mistake, and every time he opens his mouth in public, he reminds the world how unserious he is and how foolish we are for allowing him to hijack our nomination process.
    The joke?s on us: Donald Trump reminds everyone his candidacy is a farce in fifth debate, while others hold their ground - Salon.com

    Correct on both points. If people listen to SK, they will save a lot of time (that they'll never get back in life) pontificating about a Trump Presidency.

    1. HRC will win all blue states and (IMO) the additional states SK notes.

    2. Trump's core supporters are mostly Teabaggers.


    Number #1 and #2 cannot get enough states to win the 270 electoral votes needed.
