Ok, so humour us. Tell us some policies you support, not candidate specific policies, but policies in general that you support. Now I don't think you will because if you do they'll mostly line up with Trump's, and they'll you'll really have no outs. Or just rage incessantly until November 8th, whichever you prefer.

Sure Trumps a bit of a bigot and likely these sexual harassment allegations have some truth, but look at her freaking husband. The amount of dick swinging that guy did while in office, makes Wilt Chamberlain look like a choir boy.

If it comes down to the lesser of two evils, I'm going with the bigot, over the corporate criminal shill.

Hillary is no saint and she's made a few mistakes, but she's easily the most qualified person for the Oval Office that we've seen in decades. Not to mention she's intelligent, level-headed, experienced, and at least has some realistic and progressive policy plans. Trump is a total buffoon by comparison. A childish, bigoted, disgusting, sexist clown. 90% of what comes out of his mouth is an outright lie. The argument that these two candidates are "equally bad" is absolutely absurd. Is Hillary perfect? Of course not. But she's more than qualified to run the country.

Because in the real world she hasn't been convicted of anything and most rational people aren't running arounder yelling LOCK HER UP!

I'd love to talk about the actual issues. It seems most are just joining in on her smear campaign of Trump, while ignoring her past transgressions, which was the only thing I was pointing out.

He took a run at me, a very weak and feeble one. I don't normally take offense to things strangers say to me on the internet though, why would I start now.

She has powerful people backing her, that's why she's able to do what she's been doing.

There will be plenty of time to go after "Shillary" once she is president. The point right now is to keep the pumpkin Muppet out of the big chair. Which is, oddly, what some big name republicans are advocating as well. no one with any common sense and intelligence is advocating that Trump is better than Hillary. I'd challenge you to find one.

Actually I'm from Calgary. I left to escape the liberal fruit cakery taking over the country.

And a few more stories about this fine, upstanding citizen. Clearly did not vet him at all, just as soon as they found anyone to help the orange goblin they ran with it.

...

And you thought this election couldn't get more absurd? I think we're about the enter the 3 most ridiculous weeks in American political history.

Interesting. That makes two people connected in some way to Trump who've claimed to be in the role of procuring young girls/boys to be sexually exploited by wealthy elites. The other, of course, is one of the key witnesses in the civil action brought against Trump by the 13 year old who accuses him of rape.

I imagine that has to be a record of some kind, but not one Guinness likely tracks.

By going to one of the most liberal places in Canada. Curious choice to say the least.

LOL. Oh brother. So you left Calgary to come to a liberal part of the country? That's smart. Unless you're in the sticks someplace.

You moved to Vancouver Island to escape liberals? thats possibly the dumbest thing I've heard that didn't come out of Donald Trumps mouth today.

I love seeing Canadian support for Trump. I mean, I guess you don't give a #### about Canada's economic prosperity or anything then.

Isolationism, protectionism, increased tariffs, all can have massive consequence for Canada under a Trump regime, in opposition to the likely "business as usual" we would see under Clinton.

But no, #### Canada right.

This article would be pretty relevant for our BC friends:

Glad you asked. Government is way to big and seems to only be getting bigger. The problem is Governments get too big that they become corrupt, bogged down by bureaucracy and ultimately ineffective as they desperately try to justify there existence. The free market seems to work the best for the people. Governments should only be as big as they have to be. It's foolish to think that by electing people in to positions of power, that they will legislate policy that will protect your individual interests and livelihood, that's not how it works.

It seems most of you are the ones who are all up in huff about somebody that doesn't support Hillary. Oh the irony of the smug and self-righteous.

Canada has a handful of extreme conservatives. It's a tad alarming though and always has me taken aback when I see one posting.

I agree with this new guy, Trump for prez. Shillary and Spendshi and school drama teacher JT pretty good hair boy can all spend their money on libs and lefties propaganda. Ruining the god damn country with this lefties ####.

Ahh Libertarian, gotcha. So your positions are just stupid as opposed to stupid and hateful like a Trump supporter. So that's something I guess.

And yet, nothing else in the rest of your post was in any way related to the issues.

[PsYcNeT]

It's great that now we're getting the "I don't really like Trump" concern-trolling now. Makes me feel like this board has taken the next step.

Unless there's a republican in the White House. In which case, the entire "big gubermint is bad" ideology gets tossed out the window.
