"Answer the question"

From the moderator to Donnie

October 9, 2016

I don't want Trump to drop out.

I want him beaten by a landslide.

Seattle Times endorses Hillary! Good write-up to share, addresses False Equivalency crap

I am glad to read this because they take the "both are flawed" thing and go on to state repeatedly why to vote for Hillary, why to not vote for Trump. For most of us the reasons address apparent. But for those who might vote for him, this is great recommendation as to why not.

http://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/editorials/the-times-recommends-hillary-clinton-the-only-choice-for-president/

HILLARY Clinton is a magnificent choice — for some voters. For everyone else, there is no reasonable alternative. We’re all tired of election hyperbole, but the importance to America’s future of this year’s presidential election cannot be overstated.

Both candidates are flawed. But one of them, Republican nominee Donald Trump, poses an enormous risk to America’s prosperity, security and stability.

Clinton, the Democrats’ nominee, clearly has the experience, knowledge and temperament needed to maintain and improve America’s standing at home and abroad.

Yes, we need more outsiders and candor in politics. That does not justify electing an unqualified candidate whose policies and behavior contradict the values of most Washingtonians and Americans, Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals.....

I'm getting SO tired of the simplistic "things need to change" crap

Because yes, they do but that avoids the huge issue of change for the better or worse.

Things are changing, though slowly. Do you really want to make the change back to what got us in the base economic problems? Or do you want to continue the too slow change to getting better?

I guess too many want simple slogans vs thought. It's frustrating and I hope Donnie continues his vile public.

"We need change" but not too make things worse. I am tired and will be glad to not hear Donnie again.
