I'm starting to think that Trump is just trolling the entire country.

Is this worth discussing? It's like trying to decide which turd is the smelliest one in the toilet.

No one else is in the same ballpark as Trump. I don't really get all the Warren hate. Before Eddie says something about my views, I realize my idealogical bias, but I find Hillary very very unlikable. I don't understand the assertion that she is as bad as Trump. I think he is the most dangerous candidate most of us will encounter in our lifetimes. He may very well win with some help from the terrorists.

Upon taking the oath of office, will Trump order the military to take out the Orlando shooter's family? They're here in the States and they've been interviewed by the FBI so finding them shouldn't be a problem. If he doesn't, what other plans/promises/policies is he going to renege on?

These are the kind of statements that really puzzle me about this election cycle. Trump has said a bunch of ugly statements, Clinton has willfully broken the law and through so quite possibly put people's lives in jeopardy and then told lies about it. Actions are still worse than words in my book. I'm willing to grant that if elected Trump's actions may rival or surpass Clinton's, however to this point that isn't the case.

Trump is such a douche bag. I have a douche bag former mission comp who occasionally reposts Trump's douchings. Here's the latest offering:

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT REGARDING TRAGIC TERRORIST ATTACK IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Last night, our nation was attacked by a radical Islamic terrorist. It was the worst terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11, and the second of its kind in 6 months. My deepest sympathy and support goes out to the victims, the wounded, and their families.

In his remarks today, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam'. For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency.

If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore.

The terrorist, Omar Mir Saddique Mateen, is the son of an immigrant from Afghanistan who openly published his support for the Afghanistani Taliban and even tried to run for President of Afghanistan. According to Pew, 99% of people in Afghanistan support oppressive Sharia Law.

We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year. Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States.

Hillary Clinton wants to dramatically increase admissions from the Middle East, bringing in many hundreds of thousands during a first term – and we will have no way to screen them, pay for them, or prevent the second generation from radicalizing.

We need to protect all Americans, of all backgrounds and all beliefs, from Radical Islamic Terrorism - which has no place in an open and tolerant society. Radical Islam advocates hate for women, gays, Jews, Christians and all Americans. I am going to be a President for all Americans, and I am going to protect and defend all Americans. We are going to make America safe again and great again for everyone.

- Donald J. Trump

Lol at the last two sentences of that Trump statement.

The horror in Orlando was unspeakable. And we will learn much more about it in the days ahead. But today the event was made that much worse by a Presidential candidate who seeks to lead the country in complicated times and in its darker moments with self-aggrandizing tweets and hollow words.

I didn't word it well but I was talking about Warren. I do think Trump is worse than clinton though. We are getting a peek of a Trump presidency through some of his actions like bullying a federal judge based on his race and urging followers to hurt protesters. I also share some of Mitt Romney's concerns about trickle down racism.

This site is great for me while at work. I can't watch CNN or MSNBC. I can't take time to read the New York times. However, thanks to posters on here I don't miss anything. Thanks
