HRC is a very strong candidate, but I am glad Trump is a trainwreck. [View all]


At this point, I think we are seeing reverse partisanship at play. Voting for president isn't about choosing the most qualified candidate to lead the country.

Most people supporting Trump are just sending the message that they don't want to support Democrats and supporting Trump is the most irritating way possible to show that support. It's a free protest vote because Trump will lose and they get to be irritating.

Of course about 20% of Americans probably support his stances and hate word-for-word and I don't know what to think of that.
