YES, SHE slaps the face of gun owners and we STILL have schills here going to vote for her,,for the love of God,, WHY?????
With the way Trump is polling in a national head to head race with her, one might say Trump supporters are in effect voting Hillary.
Your boy is sucking hind tit.
And apparently, it's because people want to see a democrat in office again.[:I]

Refuse to accept either.
Serving one of two masters is not freedom. The day will come when the sheep will realize that we are not slaves to the Democrats or Republicans, and that there are other options. One has to make the choice to vote for an individual rather than vote against a party.
If you are happy with the platforms and record of the two parties, go ahead and vote for against Hilary via Trump. Perhaps a better way would be to vote against Hilary by voting for the Constitution as represented by the Libertarian candidate.
While some will disagree with the Libertarian planks that state the Federal Government should stay out of most social issues, if they would take the time to read, they will find that this is the Constitutional approach. If we are ever again to be a free people who co-exist with a Constitutionally limited Federal Government, we will have to get a solid plurality that will walk from the paddocks of the two main parties and actually vote for liberty, the Constitution, and what should be the American Way.

+10 Even that self appointed Jack arse that has done everything possible except announce he is taking over America by decree regardless of voters and party choice.
This including not making a deal with Kasich and offering the VP slot to the cookie monster who ran HP into the ground anything to get his prize.
His desperation to elect himself savior is disgusting
Cruz, the Hispanics don't like him, the GOP don't like him, Women don't like him, young people don't like him, Hell his own Mom and Dad don't like him, and poor old Heidi went nuts trying to live with him.
But yes I would vote for that poor delusional Narcissist bible thumper before Hillary.

I hope it is true, however it took him entirely too long to find someone to write that for him. Those positions are polar opposite to his previous opinions on the 2nd Amendment. Hope he is telling the truth. I am still not voting for him.
I'm with you there.
I want to point out I watched an interview quite a while back when he was questioned about the 2nd amendment. He said basically what is in this back then. I can't remember when it was exactly but it was well before the primaries started. It was a back and forth interview and didn't seem scripted. I've posted about this before. So he has been consistent since then anyway.
In other reading I can see were he was exposed to some education and I think he's had a chance to think about it and has made an informed decision that he was previously wrong. It may not be that way but I think it is. If it is, and he is teachable, I see that as a plus.
I'm sure he had someone write something for him, but it isn't new this week.0 -

Cue music....
Don I agree with you. That is what it will take.
In this election I am willing to vote for Trump. Not because he is my idea of a great candidate. What I see is a way to say NO to the republican party without electing a democrat. In 2012 I did not vote for Romney for the very reasons you list. What I see in Trump is a step, a step in people's minds that we do not have to accept what the 2 major parties shove down our throats. That someone outside the power brokers choices has a chance. Perhaps, and it is perhaps, more people will start to think the grip can really be broken.
Success breeds success. If we can show that someone not wanted by either major party can win, it may open more minds to other possibilities. It may crack the door into another route. We are over 19 trillion dollars in debt. If we do not make inroads into that trend this country will collapse, what comes after that is most likely not liberty. Yes we need big changes, but to make them we must save enough to change. If the libertarian had a chance to win I would be all over it. Not because I have to back a winner, I don't, but he doesn't have a chance this election. I see a opportunity to perhaps change course, and that may lead to an chance in the future.
A lot of people willing to make a change will be voting for Trump. I want to keep them engaged, we will need them and others like them in the future. Nothing will keep them engaged like success.0 -

The pantsuits position clear on guns and the Second Amendment: Lawsuits, taxes, and an outright ban in the future.0 -

The party uses the primary system to gauge who party members believe will be the best representative of their party in the general election. If Sanders had run as a Republican and got the most votes, should the GOP accept him as their standard bearer?
Trump keeps bragging how he has been supported by non Republicans like it is a good thing. What it has done, is corrupt the process by giving a result that does not necessarily reflect the will of the party. Wether one agrees with it or not, a majority support of non-republicans in a Republican primary car and perhaps should be ignored, particularly if the candidate does not support the traditional party platform.0 -
