can't shut down my brain long enough to vote for Hillary
I was looking into Johnson-Weld when I came across this:

Being retarded is not a good quality for a VP candidate.

Basing his defense of HRC by mentioning Powell just cements it. Elected/appointed government officials are not supposed to use government e-mail for personal business. HRC used private e-mail for classified e-mails.

The pot calling the kettle black.

Obama is as unqualified now to be POTUS as he was when he was first elected to the office. I guess he speaks from personal experience when he makes the claim that Trump is unfit or not qualified for the job.

I'd like to change my vote to "Other".

I may hold my nose this election, but if the next four years turn out like I think they will, only one man will get my vote from now until he takes his last breath. He's honest, and he cares about the zombie apocalypse. Who is this man I speak of? Who other than.....Vermin Supreme.

I want my pony, and I already practice good dental hygiene

Donald Trump Visits Flood-Damaged Louisiana Area

ST. AMANT, La. — If Donald J. Trump were looking for those fed up with the national media and the Obama administration, he had some fertile ground in flood-wrecked southern Louisiana.

Over the week leading up to a visit here by Mr. Trump on Friday, a sentiment burned that the flooding, which has left thousands of people in shelters, has been unconscionably overlooked on the national level. The Advocate newspaper in Baton Rouge published an editorial on Wednesday slamming President Obama for not interrupting his vacation to visit the flood-stricken areas, comparing his absence to President George W. Bush’s much-derided flyover of a flooded New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Into this came Mr. Trump.

“It just lets you know that somebody on the national level is doing something,” said Sandra Bennett, 76, a Trump supporter who lost everything in the flooding and had come to see the Republican presidential nominee at the first of his several stops around the flood-battered area on Friday. “We don’t just believe in Trump for this, though,” she said. “We think he’s got the right values.”

Word that Mr. Trump would be coming surfaced in reports on Thursday night after a speech in North Carolina in which he spoke briefly of “the heartbreak and devastation in Louisiana, a state that is very special to me.”

The news of his visit seemed to catch many officials here by surprise. Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, said in a statement late Thursday that he had not been told anything about it. The governor said he welcomed Mr. Trump to Louisiana, “but not for a photo-op. Instead we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation” to to the Louisiana Flood Relief Fund “to help the victims of this storm.” Which he did. He made a very sizable donation.

It's going good to take a lot to changer any of the senior vote who has already bought into hillary as the safe candidate and who considers trump mean and racist.

I think that this part of the vOTE may be pivotal

Your vote in this election matters for two (2) reasons:

1. SCOTUS
2. To halt/confront, delay, obstruct the political philosophy of "Progressive Liberalism".

Not to vote republican is to deny your children the future you believe is possible, and what you have sacrificed so much for.

EDT: Recent news blurb: Jimmy Carter wants HRC to beat Trump "soundly". Pretty rich for a fail Carter's Presidency, that imho, is responsible for placing us in the exact position we find ourselves to today, held hostage by a two bit theocracy. If Carter had responded to the state sponsored "act of war", as an "act of war", we would not be dealing with these fucking moo-slimes today!

Trump.

Was speaking with a customer and in the background there was a rather heated discussion going on between a couple of people and a male voice said "you better get out there and vote and it better not be for that bit**" I started laughing and said hey tell him I agree, she cracked up and actually told him.

Trump shouldn't have attended.

There was nothing to be gained when it's being hosted by a Hitlery sycophant.

The media reaction is predictable...I watched it with my Father last night and we both thought Trump did fine...a couple of the questions asked by the audience to Trump were silly...on the General comment...Trump is right...how many Generals has Obama fired or found a way to let go? Plenty. What are the quals / motives of those he elevates? I know that is debated here, and 'woman', 'queer' and 'ass-kissing dog' are the consensus on some.

We watched Hitlery as well, and it was painfully obvious she was lying and answering in circles on the email questions. Anyone with half a brain could recognize it. Lauer could have mopped her up when she lied, again, that she never sent classified material on her server...'but, Ms. Clinton, that is not true according to FBI Director Comey, the fact is that you sent 122 classified emails over an unsecure server...so who's right, Directory Comey or you?'

The question posed to her by the Pilot was devastating...and no follow up from Lauer? The media corruption really boils the blood.

Not trying to drift the thread but just a comment on American values. Recently I had the occasion to stop in Abilene, Kansas after passing by it dozens of times in the past, it happens to be where my family came from generations ago. It reflects a dynamic time in our history where the Wild West went into the early 1900's very rapidly. The first 8 miles of interstate, the first phone company and of course the Chisholm Trail bringing Texas beefs to Eastern markets are there. It is where Eisenhower was raised which brings me to the point. Many of our past presidents where veterans, which works out much better as a prerequisite for being Commander in Chief, government was smaller and helped bring change rather than impede it, it generally brought us together rather than dividing us and regardless of the party represented the people's interest as opposed to individual political interests. Of course these are generalizations and our challenges are different in some ways but just wanted to juxtapose some fairly recent historical context to this years election.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Eisenhower

Much of the foot print of that spectrum of history is all still right there for us to see.
