Do you believe Donald Trump will win the presidency?

[Classygirl]

I agree and was a Sanders supporter what I meant by show them is if not just me but ALL of US as one said if this is what we have to chose from we won't vote for either we vote for insert who we ALL choose. I did try for Sanders but that's not where we are now I was speaking if we all did it together me alone won't make the difference here.

- - - Post Merge - - -

You assumed I did not vote in every election/primary prior to now...no one chose my no,ineeses for me they just didn't choose who I did.

- - - Post Merge - - -

I suppose I could go and write him in but alone that's all I can do and as far as lesser evils I am not seeing any outcome here for the first time in my three decades I am comfortable with.

- - - Post Merge - - -

So hence I meant we could only show them together and now by standing as ONE and not voting for either of these two but for whom we wanted and in this age it is possible for us to stand as one I wasn't referring to anything prior to where we are now as my efforts then did not cause this..I meant if we don't like the, we all as a people don't do it then they can't win only who we did vote for would but that would take an on scale coming together that yes I would be a part of but the effort would have to be as you said us all getting up and making it happen by not voting which is like a protest we don't like this so we opt out no one voting no one wins but yes with someone bound to vote for one or two as I said we would all have to say on an en masses scale we are all using our votes for option 3 in a connected effort but the laziness you I,ply I fear would stop that I was just saying time for a change takes us all I never said I didn't vote prior and am sorry you misunderstood the scenario I was putting forth for these circumstances now. No hard feelings I always do vote but am not huge into politics so definitely don't want to argue it but that I would prefer anything other than the two and alone I can't make that happen because as you said not enough people went the other way prior but again maybe they didn't like those options themselves but I wasn't one of them I was for Sanders at that time. I was just making a small comment I forget some people assume an entire world no vote now would mean we or I didn't try before forgive me sometimes I forget we aren't in the en masses protest era like the 60s but with Internet connect. I'm not very political so probably shouldn't have raised such an idealistic grand scale option for now as disconnected as people can be. But yes I have always voted I meant a wide scale protest no vote or write in. Anyway that's all sorry for confusion on what I meant.

I get what you're saying, but like you said, a massive write-in effort is not feasible for many reasons. I don't like either of the two viable choices, but I accept them. I voted for Sanders too, but he got less votes than Clinton, so I have to move on and pick the best (or least worst) of the choices I have left. The point of primaries is so that there isn't a cluster**** of candidates on the general election ballot and someone winning with 30% of the vote; in other words it forces people to unify and vote in mass for a candidate because it is a one or the other choice instead of casting scattershot votes for a bunch of different candidates like what happened in the Republican primary to help Trump win. So while I don't like Clinton, I'm cool with her being the only alternative to Trump because Trump would probably win in a three way race with Clinton and Sanders which I definitely don't want.

He does have a chance the polls could be rong.

if you spell it like that then i doubt you're correct.

 

[Kirbystarship]

if you spell it like that then i doubt you're correct.

Okay the only reason why you don't think he will be the next president is you don't like him.

I still think Hillary will win even if I don't like her.

I'm just saying the polls could be rong.

Mmmm no i'm pretty sure polls can't be "rong"

also its spelled "wrong". Ciao. c:

 

[The Hidden Owl]

it could go either way.

I just want to know what it is about Trump that scares people? The only scary things about him is that he's somewhat thoughtless with his words and he wants to "build" a wall. iMo they're both pretty terrible options, it's just picking the lesser evil which is hard. Blatant liar or loud-mouthing jerk?

 

[Xerolin]

yes. imo he is terrible, obviously, but WAAAY better than Hillary, seriously. She's an old sick lady

It is true that most of Trump's policy ideas like the wall and the Muslim ban would probably never happen because they are logistically nearly impossible and Congress would probably not go along with them. However, Trump's words are more than just "thoughtless". If he gets elected, then racism, sexism, and Islamophobia become normalized in American society because people think if it's okay for the president to say the things he says, then it's okay for them to say and possibly act on those same things. The president is also the primary representative of the U.S. in foreign relations, so his divisive language really would have a negative impact on other countries views of the U.S. The other scary thing about him is his lack of knowledge on issues. If there is a major crisis, does Trump know how to handle it? This election is not between a blatant liar and loud-mouthing jerk. It's between a candidate who is secretive and dishonest and the other candidate who is also secretive and dishonest as well as racist, sexist, Islamphobic, and lacks knowledge about the U.S. Constitution and issues facing the country.

Imagine him becoming chair of the G7.

 

[Sholee]

I don't know but you guys are ****ed either way gl

^ seriously...

 

[Isabella]

i don't know but we're ****ed either way, i think we can all agree.
people can pretend hillary does nothing wrong but the evidence is all there, she'll continue doing wrong and pushing it under the rug.

 

[MicheleMorris]

I hope he doesn't!

 

[nintendofan85]

Is it just me or did the poll just switch from the "No" vote winning to the "Yes" vote winning?

 

[Pietro:)100]

Despite living in England, I (like a vast majority of people on the internet right now, all over the world) am very interested in the U.S and its current political state. It's kinda worrying how because people are mad Bernie dropped out (although all the supporters I've talked to online are too young to vote anyway) they're like 'Trump!! Can't let that snake Hillary get Presidancy!' Etcetera. Just because Hillary has a bad name among younger people, partially due to that awful meme. And then some people are like 'Well, I hate both of them, so I'm not voting.'
Trump is very openly racist, sexist and homophobic. I don't see how anyone could support that.
Funnily enough, my uncle was in America a while back, and he got into a conversation with some people who voted Trump. According to them, he is an excellent businessman, and when some other people, from California I think, pointed out that he hasn't had much political experience, and has been bankrupt four times, they just burst out laughing and said 'Well, it shows Donald can always bounce back!'
I think, totally unprofessionally, as I have little knowledge of politics,it will be a very close call. I would love to live in a world where we could all laugh and see Trump as an awful comedic figure, but as Election Day comes closer and closer, it becomes less funny, and more worrying. So yeah, good luck America!

Unfortunately, yes.

 

[Kirbystarship]

How did the poll change so quickly.

I wouldn't think that people would vote Trump would be the next president?

 

[oath2order]

Yeah, where did all the Trump nutjobs come from?

Maybe Donald Trump created bots to rig the poll on this site.

 

[Kirbystarship]

Maybe Donald Trump created bots to rig the poll on this site.

Or maybe the guests that are looking at the site voted yes. This is a private poll so not too surprised.

 

[-Apples-]

Or maybe, people on this site are actually paranoid that Trump will win.

I think Trump is gonna win, and I support him. But that's because he's the only Republican left and I think Obama is 100 times worse than what you guys think of Trump. Some say he's the best president or at least the fourth best president. But there are some who say that he's worse than Buchanan and Hoover. From what I knew about these guys (the two really bad presidents) and how our country performed in the past 7 and a half years, I would have to agree with those who say Obama is worse. The creation of Obamacare - automatically makes Obama the worst president. I'm hoping that Trump can reverse the damage Obama has done. Plus, he's not as bad as what he says or what you think.
