trump is the most friendly LGBT GOP candidate and has a lot of young LGBT voters surprisingly though

lol this made me think of that vine with him saying "ask the gays" over and over again

idk but from what i've seen he doesn't seem to be all that great w/ lgbt+ rights. i don't remember if i've seen anything rly bad (we ll except for the ask the gays thing lmao) but i don't think he can be seen as a lgbt+ friendly candidate..?? imo
 
Why was Dennis Hastert able to become Speaker of the House? Times have changed, and apparently people's actions don't matter.
My mom, who is a Trump supporter, claims that everything controversial he claims he'll do won't actually happen and that he's only doing it for attention. But I don't think that, even if that's true, that's a good thing at all. Politicians, in my opinion, should mean what they say.

yeah i agree with you, if he is only making a bunch of stuff up he's just lying? and shouldn't his supporters support him because they want him to do what he is promising...? but if he becomes the president and does do those things... uh well then thst would really suck.

but isnt he claiming that hillary clinton is just a lying scumbag, he's kinda doing the same... if he can't show the people how he would do everything he has promised then that's just unrealistic dreaming. (not that i'm sad thst he doesn't seem to habe a plan But)

Yeah, he keeps talking about how much Hillary Clinton lies and how "crooked" she is and I definitely agree that if he is lying himself, that would definitely undermine his campaign, or if he got elected, would undermine his position among his supporters.

He probably is more LGBT-friendly than other Republicans in recent years, but that doesn't make him the most LGBT-friendly candidate to vote for.
 
Being honest here, I support trump because he isn't a lying crook who btw we found more emails of Clinton yet she's blaming this on Colin Powell on her email, she's the biggest lier I've ever seen, it makes me laugh im never supporting her

You do realize that Trump lies roughly 81% of the time, right? Hillary Clinton lies a lot too but not as much.

There is nothing that says the two major political parties have to "take turns" getting the presidency. Each of them wants to win every single election and there's nothing wrong with that. FDR was elected for four consecutive terms during the Great Depression and WWII and Harry Truman got re-elected after FDR died and things worked out just fine having the same party in power for 20 years. Republican presidential candidates have lost the popular vote 5 of the last 6 elections and it's probably going to be 6 out of 7 after this one. The Republican party has become out of touch with the increasing diversity and tolerance of other people in America and has decided to make a last stand with their angry white male base instead of modernizing their platform to be more inclusive of women, minorities, and the LGBT community. That's why they nominated Trump. If the party wants to be serious about winning elections in the future, they need to "purge" the racists, nativists, and religious fanatics from their party and put together a real policy platform and explain why they think it's better than the Democrats' ideas. Or they can just continue to try to smear Obama and Hillary Clinton all the time and keep scratching their heads wondering why very few women and minorities vote for Republicans.

I can say one thing about the "angry white male base". They at least have more respect towards the founding fathers (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin) than the liberal voter bases do. And it doesn't necessarily mean they like or hate the founding fathers. There are some laws/policies that progressivism agrees with that would make the founding fathers angry if they come back. Yeah, it's hard to cater to the changing society that want to throw out traditional values, but at least the right is showing more respect to the founding fathers by supporting these traditional values.

Sadly, Trump won't make the founding fathers happier since he agrees with stuff that would anger them as well. I mean, he wanted to ban Muslims from entering our nation. That's a first amendment violation and the founding fathers would be just as mad at Trump as they would be towards Obama, the Democratic Party, and our current generation of citizens that want change.
 
The arguments start because people can't respect other people's opinions, I support trump that's it, I will never support hillary, so that's my opinion k peeps

I agree with what you said, although one thing that is worth mentioning is how Republicans have managed to keep at least a chamber Congress almost continuously. The Republicans won both chambers back in 1994, and they only lost the Senate for a while after the 2000 elections proved to a be a draw, and then the Senate came back to them in the 2002 elections. Although they then lost both chambers in the 2006 elections, the 2010 elections gave the Republicans the House back and then the Senate was retaken in the 2014 elections.

I was simply trying to say that Trump lies more than Clinton does and he continually makes comments that have no basis in reality.

This is a poll from the American people, trump does not lie like her HOWEVER yes he gets his fair share of lies, I've seen more polls of Clinton being very untrustworthy, and nobody actually knows if trump or Clinton are lying, this is simply a biased question
