So, why are you voting for Donald Trump? There has to be a reason. Feel free to enumerate your reasons.

1. He is an emotionally fragile drama queen. - No, I don't see that at all. OK, you are ignoring the obvious - IMHO
2. He has no political experience - That's a plus, not a minus.
Not for the most powerful leader in the world. It is a frightening scenario indeed. This arrogant man, having the launch codes at his disposal? NO! Even Ted Cruz would be less of a threat to the continued existence of the world.
3. He is a narrow-minded bigot - I disagree.
Convince me please cite some examples of his open-minded inclusiveness. - And eating Taco Bell doesnt count!
4. He is a conspiracy theory believing kook - That the Clintons have corrupt influence over the gov? It's apparently true.
No, hes a Birther, and anti-vaxer, and he believes that Cruzs father was involved with the Kennedy assassination. He also references stories from The National Enquirer as being reputable and as recently as last week, stated publicly that the election will be rigged. I believe hes a whack-job.
5. He is an extremely poor leader - No, as a real estate mogul, he has plenty of leadership experience.
Longevity does not make one a good leader. His leadership style is that of a bully. Taking advantage of whomever he can, because he can. NOT good leadership.
6. He is dishonest and untrustworthy - I've seen no evidence of this. Look into the operations of, bankruptcy, and soon-to-be closing of the Trump Taj Mahal in AC.
7. He has dealt unfairly with his workers, his vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors as his primary means of "negotiation - Possibly with business contacts he's been harsh and as aggressive as the law allows, but the consensus seems to be that among those who've worked with him, he's very fair. He's also been generous in charitable causes for people who've needed help.
See # 5 above as an example -
8. He is a weak and shallow man who disrespects women and mocks the disabled, elderly, and infirm. - No, don't see that either. The media attempts to cast him that way, but I think the reality is that he deals with these groups without regard to their status, which comes off as disrespecting the group they are in, instead of what they have specifically done.
You can choose to see him any way you wish, his weakness and insecurity is obvious to me, and millions of others.
9. He would be the worst president in history.
No, not at all.
On the plus side, he's not corrupt in the way the Clinton's are openly so. He's not running for prez for his own benefit, unlike Hillary who craves the power of the One Ring that Rules them All,and who said she deserved to be president. Trump has a sound concern and respect for the country (though again with differing ideas from me about what's best) and has potential to clean out corruption inside of DC which is enormous.
I think this is the area in which we really disagree. The Donald Trump I see has no concern or respect for anyone or anything beyond his own interests. He doesnt even have any sincere respect or loyalty to his own party! He will bully his way to personal gain at the expense of anyone who offers any resistance. I remain unconvinced that he would clean out corruption in fact I believe that if he were to be elected the level of corruption in Washington would rise to the Mugabe level by this time next year.

Political experience has nothing to do with possessing power to launch nukes. Unless you can find a historic case of a politician launching nukes correctly and justly.
Taking advantage of people has nothing to do with leadership, either positively or negatively.
Dealing with bankruptcy has nothing to do with honesty.
There is plenty of room for emotionally charged characterizations against Trump. A lot of people don't just disfavor him, but outright hate him. For them, and perhaps you, seeing Trump in an unfavorable light is "obvious". Your responses to me are not particularly impressive in substantiating anything objectively negative about Trump.
No, Trump is not perfect, and again I'll concede he does have negative points I don't like. But just because someone doesn't like his personality or manners does NOT mean he's not the best fit for president. He's not running for pope, after all. And Hillary's negatives are far, far worse.

OMG where have you been for the last 20 years? Hello Hillary is the most unstable person on the planet. Cross her and she will have you killed. Thats not a joke thats reality in Hillary's world.
2. He has no political experience Mrs. Clinton has a great deal of political experience
Are you trying to be a smart ass??????????????
If Hillary is ok for you on any level you need to seek help. Anyone that thinks Hillary is ok for US has some major mental issues that need to be dealt with, asap!

I can't help but agree. It's beyond my comprehension how anyone not directly in the Clinton circle of corruption would vote for H over Trump. Surely no one more openly corrupt than Clinton has ever run for US president.
And yes, Hillary is very egotistical and self serving. She thinks she deserves to be president, and NO ONE fits that bill. The threat of a nuclear war is far higher with her than Trump or any other president since the Cuban missile crisis.

No, Mrs. Clinton was the first lady, and very involved in government for 8 years during Bill's presidency, she was elected to the senate, and was secretary of state. How is my statement wrong?

That's ok, I am simply responding to a post asking why I would (or would not) vote for the donald.
My responses are my opinions. I see trump as the worst possible choice as president. I do not hate him. and I will not vote for him.

I'm really not planning to vote for Mrs. Clinton, and I am not a Clinton supporter.
It shouldn't be necessary. I think Trump will lose my state without my vote.
Are you suggesting that there are ~ 65 million members of the Clinton Circle-o-Corruption?????? (The CCoC)

You can't deny that many people dying after crossing her as just a statistical anomaly.

Are you just stupid or corrupt?
Her political experience has been dealing with bimbo gate! I can hear her laughing at the rape victims now while claiming to be a champing of women's rights!
Her political experience has been scaring everyone in ear shot of her when she has a fit. Ask bubba about his black eyes! Ask the SS how they are not allowed to be in her eye sight. Ask about how much she hates to see military uniforms in the white house!
Her political experience is having her email server in her house in a bathroom. The same server that has been hacked so much that no one can tell who has hacked it.
Her political experience is getting people murdered because of her incompetence ie Benghazi.
But hey she sure knows how to duck a snipers bullet!!
But she sure knows how to sell US secrets!

"statistical anomaly"
I suggest nothing of the sort. I do suggest that there are people who are emotionally driven and intellectually weak enough to feel that "THEY" are in the know, that "THEY" possess the truth despite there being no actual scientific evidence. These people are easily led and are easy to influence.
And based on your listing of the "limbaugh talking points" I'd say that might describe you.

For one I am not ashamed of listening to Rush from time to time. I actually work too much to get time to listen to rush very often. He is slowly coming my way into the conservative/libertarian side. He like many conservatives finally realize what the GOP has been doing and see's if the GOP elites are not defeated there will never be a right of center candidate to hold the presidency or any real power in government ever again.

He is quickly learning to "shapeshift" as any professional politician ever has; moreover, he has an ego larger than the territorial boundaries of the USA as as a reesult OWES himself the "attaboy."
Doing all this by himself? Patriotic? Please explain.
You can't speak for him.
Yawn.

Oh, I see, you believe you can predict where someone *IS* on the political spectrum. I am probably a paleo-constitutionalist if you need a classification. "Left," "Center," and "Right" when used to describe the political leaning of someone are archaic expressions for generalized mumbo-jumbo bullshit artists akin to the MSM.

I too am an 'ancient' Constitutionalist since I was old enough to vote over 60 years ago. The problem is that with the exception of Ronald Reagan there were no true 'ancient' Constitutionalists to vote for since Calvin Coolidge.
All other presidents since our first four and a few exceptions like William McKinley, have been mediocre to horrible. Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Bush I and Bush II and of course the scourge of America, Barack Hussein Obama have literally ruined America. If only the clock, Constitutionally, could be set back to 1911 and everything regurgitated forth from that time be evaporated, we might be in good shape.
It doesn't take a full, Conservative professor to accurately predict what would ensue if Hillary Clinton is elected by an amalgam of idiots and dead people, this nation is GWTW.

ROTFL.
You made the "claim" about sneakypete. Where is the objective evidence that definitively supports your "claims" other than some bizarre inference to an otherwise AWESOME patriot's political position concerning individual rights. Since you are the chit-chat channel administrator, use your majiick powers to search and find and reveal the records within the LF dB. Do it now!

I understand your point Fred; it is my personal responsibility to spell out Stone's incorrect and complete idiocy on this forum. Stone has fabricated lies; Stone lied to the forum and certainly spelled his lies towards myself about the background of an otherwise AWESOME poster: sneakypete.
Stone can't support his lies or allegations; if Stone could, he would have already performed his supportative data. Stone simply can't support his own opinions.
