Do I dare ask

[colinsfebmommy]

Hilary or Trump?

**running away**

[ldubhawksfan]

Haha I hope this political convo can stay civil.

I'm not sure about Hillary, but I'm a very strong no Trump.

[yummeecookee]

Honestly, I'm pretty sure I'm voting independent. I know it's kind of a "throwaway" vote but it's the best I can do in this joke of an election.

[yummeecookee]

Oh and colinsfebmommy, get back here and answer your own question!

[sunfrogger88]

I'm really disappointed with both candidates. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I will be closely watching the debates and the election, that's for sure.

[pearlvirus]

I don't understand what kind of person thinks Trump would be a good idea. Although I hate this - I will probably vote Hilary just to keep the monster out.

[colinsfebmommy]

Lmfao sorry I ran fast.

Wellllllll, right now it's either Trump or independent. I can't stomach Hilary.

Truely they are both awful monsters

[pickles4prez]

I'm with her 😄

This exactly

Hillary, 100%, most qualified candidate by a landslide. And I'm not voting against Trump, I am voting FOR her.

This. I was with her originally, though I was swayed by Bernie early.

I am 100% happy to vote for Hillary.

[allycat]

Can I ask - those of you who think Hillary is so terrible - why?

What is it about her you dislike?

All I ever hear are really vague and often sexist arguments. Curious if anyone has anything specific to point to.

I'm not against her by any means. My statement above was just because I haven't had a chance to really look into her policies.

[colinsfebmommy]

For me, 1 Clinton was enough and he had such a stellar record. Hillary has a long standing record of shady activities and lies to cover up.

I am in NO WAY saying that Trump is qualified or that I like him.

I don't think our country wins either way.

Ok, but like, what lies - specifically?

I feel like I hear this all the time but no one can point to an example.

[colinsfebmommy]

Email scandal, flip flopping on gay marriage, her massive anti gun stance yet she's shot guns, so so so many money moves in questions, Benghazi.....

There's just a lot i do not like about her and her voice, that for 4 years lol

Now FYI I have a long list on trump too.

Not looking to combat, just was wondering the boards stance

[allycat]

No criminal charges filed for the emails, right?

House select committee found no wrongdoing on her part following Benghazi, right?

Flip flopping on gay marriage? I would say more like accepting and acknowledging the changing tide. Not awesome that she formerly opposed it, sure, but better to turn from wrong to right than the other way around.

I've shot guns. My father and husband own them. I'm still pro-increased gun control. Plenty of people are.

And I'm just giving my stance. Plus, you know, facts.

[allycat]

Also, if you're worried about liars, maybe take this into consideration.

[fuzzylogic]

I'm with allycat about the whole "flip flopping" thing. So, she looked at the current social climate of our county and said, hey, I was wrong, and now supports things she didn't originally support. That's what a human being should do. Revisit and revise policies as necessary. Everyone wants the Church to adhere to marriage equality, but when a politician does it...they're somehow wrong? I don't get it.

Regarding Benghazi...as far as I understand, even the family of the victim here said they didn't fault HRC. No fault was found by a court. Same with the emails. LET IT GO.

I don't remember anyone making such a big deal about the GWB/Cheney email scandal, and it was way, way worse.

[pearlvirus]

I don't have specific issues with HRC, I'm just not excited like I was about Bernie. I want social change, choosing HRC is maintaining the status quo.

[ashleymarie26]

Hillary. I have a really difficult time staying civil with anyone even willing to entertain the idea of that disgusting obnoxious cheeto as POTUS.

[ashleymarie26]

Serious question for those considering supporting trump.

How do you explain or justify his stance on the Muslim population within the US? About deporting them? Does that not sound familiar? Like is 75 years really long enough that we've forgotten?

[proceedwithcaution]

Clinton. Unless my H convinces me to vote for Gary Johnson.

I also shoot guns and believe in more regulations.

[colinsfebmommy]

Yikes I wasn't looking to get schooled lol again I asked where you all stood, wasn't looking to fight. Damn I knew better to than to bring up a hot topic lol

**backing away**

Well I don't think anyone was schooling you. I think everyone stated their stance and why. I had a genuine question. I think if you're prepared to vote for someone to be the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world, you should be able to explain why you support questionable stances as well.

I also think you should own it.

[colinsfebmommy]

I think you are 100% right, however I wasn't looking to debate or to question anyone further because politics are hot. I guess I thought everyone would give a quick short answer lol I shouldn't have answered questions I suppose. This could go back and forth and I'm not looking to ruffle feathers or think I'm politically right, I was just innocently asking. I couldn't even debate if I wanted to, I'm not crazy into politics so I'm not educated enough in the matter to defend or agree on all matters.

It was an innocent quick question oops

[littleredfish]

Meanwhile, in Canada.

I get that, and no hard feelings.

This just isn't an innocent issue. It can't be lighthearted because there is way too much at stake. People treating this election and candidates as "innocent questions" and "quick answers" are the reason we stand a very real chance of having an extremely dangerous person in the white house.
