Here is your opportunity to make your case. You whined that no one was responding to you or taking you seriously. Okay, you got it. I'm going to wait for you to make your case for voting for Hillary Clinton. What that means is no snark, no insults, and no attacking Trump. This last is important because that is how these threads go bust. So you have to make a positive case FOR supporting Hillary. No lies, no half truths, no smoke and mirrors. You can't make a claim that is not true. You may be called upon to verify everything you write. This is not a lecture without input from the audience. They will pick apart your weaknesses. I expect them to belay the snark and insults. In return I will make the case for voting for Donald Trump with the same ground rules. If someone like COG wants to make a case for Gary Johnson then they must abide by the same rules.I will not vote for Trump.
Frankly, I don't think you can do it and we won't hear much more from you with the convention concluded. This is your chance though. Never say that you didn't get one. I give you 48 hours to post your case. So 1800 CST on Sunday we will see. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Besides saying bad shit about his opponents and saying he will make "Murica" great again what has your guy have. he has a track record of cheating people. He has lost so many court cases lately I can not keep track of them he even lost one this week for erasing email.. He has no political experience and your team criticized Obama for lack of experience, He has never ran a company that made a profit. he is a racist and a Unitarian and a bigger liar than Clinton ,
Your only reason to vote for him is because you think Hillary is bad. I say bullshit. You are all die hard Republicans that hate Blacks and Women plain and simple.
If everything yo guys have accused Clinton was true she would still be better than what Trump has admitted to. Right down to making deals with Russia on the same day you guys complained about a video playing that may have had a soviet ship on it.
Luke made a great argument for voting for her, she is not him. Originally Posted by MT Pockets

(For the record, both candidates make me want to renounce my citizenship.)
"Trump and Ben Carson were the least qualified of the original 17 to 19 canididates."
I don't know about that but Carson is kind of a whack job and trump is trump.
So were our founding fathers when this nation started. Washington was a general, not a politician. Conservatives specifically supported these two because they did not want more of the same. (i.e. Bush). Their lack of exposure to the corruption of political system was what people liked most about them.
Exposure to corruption isn't a bad thing. Succumbing to corruption is a bad thing. As far as Washington not being a politician I disagree with that. In order to keep the Army together, fighting, supplied, and not subject to the whims of a new and inexperienced congress, he had to steer them without bruising the fragile egos and make them think they thought of the course of action to take. Jefferson and Franklin were very important in that respect too.
"his rhetoric and proposals borderline resembled what Hitler wanted to accomplish."
Not hardly
I assume you are referring to Nationalism, a curse word to liberals. Can you please be more specific? I know many Americans are so worried about Trump's offensive statements that they forget that Hillary's poor leadership resulted in the death of at least four Americans. I know, she didn't really do anything. Doing nothing is the worst thing you can possibly do.
Nationalism? You mean trump-ism? The problem is that his statements can cause a loss of life. It's true 4 Americans lost their lives. 4 Americans who were well aware of the hazards of their location and their lines of work. And while you say her poor leadership caused 4 deaths I could make an argument that only 4 people died.
She did do something. Her job.
"I don't like the guys character - he doesn't have temperament nor the experience to be POTUS."
He likes to throw his weight around, has the thinnest skin of all the candidates.
Hillary is so unlikable that her teams strategy was to allow you to hear and see as little of her as possible. How many debates were there again?
Who likes a bossy person who doesn't let things get in their way? This applies to trump too.
They're both major league assholes
."He's a liar - well so is Clinton"
Out of 200 + statements, trump is at 70% of his statements are "mostly false", "false", and "pants on fire" 4% of his statements are true.
Out of 230+ statements, Clinton is at 28% of her statements are "mostly false", "false", and "pants on fire" 23% of her statements are true.
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/
http://www.politifact.com/personalit...llary-clinton/
In her closing speech, Clinton was fact checked and had 1 true, 5 mostly trues, and 2 half trues. Trump has 3 true, 3 mostly true, 5 half true , 2 mostly false, ,a false,
Ok, who didn't laugh at this one? Would you please put down what you're smoking?
"He talks without thinking which is very dangerous"
It can be. Depends on setting, context, subject, audience, situation, etc.
Agreed. And this is better than a calculated lie.

"look at his recent comments : inviting Russia to hack clinton's emails?"
If I remember correctly, he didn't suggest they hack her emails. It appears they already hacked them. He suggested they release the ones they already hacked. Yes, this is also bad for the country. Although, it wouldn't be necessary if she had released her emails before deleting 30k+ pages of documents.
"The GOP nominee tried to dampen controversy over his apparent call Wednesday for Russia to either stage an espionage cyber hack to find Clinton's deleted emails or to publish information it had already stolen"
http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/28/politics/donald-trump-russia-hacking-sarcastic/index.html.
We all know about the documentation and emails. That doesn't in any way give trump a pass or license to run his mouth.
"Telling reporters he wanted to hit some of the DNC speakers?"
Yeah? Get in line. I would love to punch Al Franken. (Please respond with which of these idiots you would punch if you could.)
Get in line to punch out rnc speakers too.
Anybody on either side who went over two minutes.
"Finally he makes proposals that will never work -if any of you think he would build a wall and Mexico will pay for it"
The wall is a truly stupid idea. It will only add travel time to those wishing to illegally enter the US. Only "people" can limit the number of illegal entries to the US. If Americans want border security, we must hire more people to protect it. The wall arguement is really the best arguement against Trump but, let's be real. It isn't going to happen and, so what if it does?
Why do you say the wall is the best argument against trump? His comments about the illegals, who other than being illegal and who are less likely to be arrested than native born, which other than being wrong were offensive, ignorant, and ill advised.
Finally, I have a question for Wyatt. You describe yourself as a conservative and believe Trump and Carson are unqualified. I'm curious if you would have supported any Republican candidate. If so, can you name him/her? Originally Posted by goodman0422

Second, I saw no argument for the election of Hillary Clinton yet. That little paragraph was nothing. I want a full blown presentation.
So far I have to assume that Wyatt is unable or unwilling to comply. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

She did do something. Her job.
She failed to even respond to requests for additional security and you say she did her job?
In the hearing, she said she didn't need to respond because Ambassador Stevens was only joking.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...y-in-benghazi/
Wow! Just wow!
And for the record, 4 Americans died because there were only 4 in the consulate. Of course had she provided additional security, that number may have been lower. Below are a few other state dept. Employees who died on her watch.
Terrence Barnich, Brian Daniel Adkins, Ragaei Abdelfattah, Anne Smedinghoff. So no, it was not only four. Originally Posted by goodman0422

And other than being in charge of the State department, how was she responsible for those deaths?The Reports revealed that Odumbo and hildebeest's foreign policy was extremely naive and that they were grossly negligent and incompetent for ignoring 600 request for additional security, masterdickmuncher. They also found that Odumbo and hidlebeest were dishonest with the American public about explaining what happened in Benghazi, masterdickmuncher.
I've never claimed she couldn't have done a better job. Plus the house report disagrees with you.
I wonder how many construction deaths have happened on trump projects? How many in a foreign land that he allowed less the stringent standards of US safety regulations.
So are you going to address any of the other points that didn't cost 7 million dollars and 8 investigations? Quite a bit has been brought up about those.
For the record, even the house report doesn't dump the blame you do so I think 8 investigations are probably enough
House Benghazi report faults security, not Clinton, for response Originally Posted by Munchmasterman

The only experience Hildebeest has is in gross incompetence, extreme carelessness and criminality.
With that said, here are reasons why I would vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump:
1. I believe she has a successful background in dealing with foreign governments. Much more so than Trump.
2. Even going back to the early 1990s when she worked on an affordable care proposal, she has shown an ability to work across the aisle.
3. I believe she is better suited to deal with others who disagree with her. I trust her to not make rash decisions.
4. Economic policy? Here I'm unsure who is the better candidate. Trump it would seem has the more impressive background but he is rated as a mediocre businessman by "The Economist". Who is best suited to bring down the national debt? I don't know. Bush wasn't successful and neither has Obama.
5. I expect Clinton to be just as effective on issues such as immigration, trade policies, ISIS and other terrorist organizations, as Trump promises to be. Clinton, again, has much more experience on these issues than Trump.
Okay. Let the bashing begin. BTW, since these are strictly OPINIONS, I do not plan to defend them. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX
