He looks like he's so over it in that clip.

Probably just wants this election to be over so he can see how much of his core business customers fled as a result of his histrionics.

I've changed my mind throughout the election. If I were an American Citizen, I think I would vote for Hillary now.

Used to be intrigued by Trump, but the media clearly shows proof that he is racist and hates women and is quite possibly a Russian Agent. This scares me.

Hillary Clinton is good for Canada IMO. She will further advance western interests in the middle east by destroying corrupt anti humanitarian regimes, and help oil prices. She is also for TPP and a Hemispheric Borderless Trade system which can help Canada get its oil to new markets and create new jobs here in Alberta.

Plus, after doing a little more digging and reading up on the Clinton Foundation (through reputable sources - not stupid alt right media), It is evident that it does far more good in charities than Trump could ever do.

Yes, Hillary may accept millions of dollars by Regimes in the Middle East that aren't nice to gay people and women. But you have to ask yourself, can you change the hearts and minds of these dictators by being their friends, or by being their enemies? Hillary can be more effective in advancing human rights by being their friend imo.

We need to ask why Putin and Trump are so close?????

Russia wants to monitor the U.S. presidential elections

Quote:
Russia has proposed sending diplomats to our country in order to monitor the upcoming presidential elections. Not surprisingly, this suggestion has been resoundingly — and sometimes forcefully — rejected.

According to the Russian newspaper Izvestia, sources in Russia’s Central Elections Commission held a series of talks with the State Department about sending a delegation of monitors to American polling stations on the day of the presidential election.

I know its ridiculous. How would other countries feel if the States supervised their elections?

If Trump wins, I hope the election is thoroughly reviewed. Hilary should not concede right away, until it is confirmed that Russia didn't hack into the election results

I think she should concede, then look into it. You don't start riots if you're not sure

Simple. Trump made it clear that he has no interest in supporting NATO and basically said that the U.S. will only respect the sovereignty of countries that pay them a tribute. If he is elected, it gives Putin a ticket to expand again.

Interesting comments today from our man Donald. He knows it's rigged, you should see what he knows, it's rigged. The media, everything, poisoning minds against him. The fix is in, unequivocally.

But he's still going to win.

Which way is it? It can't be both.

International observers aren't a big deal, they don't do anything they just watch and record and write a report afterwards. It's happened in the past.

But Russia wanting to do it is just another poke.

It's a state by state thing, I read that some states have laws against it but others do not and have had international observers before.

Here's the story in our local paper about the Russian election observers:

http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/elect...0b4645d86.html

Quote:
Oklahoma has turned down a request from Russia to have personnel in the state to study the Nov. 8 election, Bryan Dean, Oklahoma State Election Board spokesman, said Thursday.

...

In a letter to Oklahoma Secretary of State Chris Benge, Alexander K. Zakharov, Russian consul general in Houston, sought permission to have an officer from the Russian Federation study the state's election process.
