20 years from now when we're teaching this election history absolutely nobody in class will believe any of what we say about Trump.
shadowbanmeagain
I still can't believe Burr and Hamilton had a gun battle over old timey Wikileaks and sore elections.
SacagaweaSzechuansauce
More attention trump gets the more sucesful he becomes
RocketTheTrashPanda
I honestly think trump is just a fan of south park and wants to help them out with episode 4. After ep3 it makes sense that he'd say this.
sarcZen
I'd find if funny if South Park flipped things around and made him more palatable than real life, just for the irony.
TTurambarsGurthang
He's just a puppet candidate controlled by Trey Parker and Matt Stone
FilthyRedmond
I don't think you get Trump supporters. They DON'T care about this and will vote for him anyway.
RamebNudle
Yes, you are very very smart and informed
LiterallyYourMom
The vocal minority will, but he's hemorrhaging supporters - he's alienating them group by group. Women, minorities, veterans, all voters.
BrainTaffy
Several posts in this very thread are saying this is propaganda. Reality checks have left the building.
Meloncov
Some will, but there are a lot of people reluctantly supporting Trump because he's the GOP nominee that will change sides or not vote.
Shekel
Just as Hillary voters dont care about her crimes and the deaths of the people of the benghazi attacks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FreyaNicci
That, after multiple congressional investigations, found no wrong doing by Clinton. You are living in denial.
AlexanderFieldisnotmyrealname
Maybe more people will show up to vote for Rodham,to vote against him.

That is a generalization and flawed. Consider the bigger picture.
IWishIWereNotAllergicToCats
And I'm not sure *you* get that we don't have to convince *all of* his supporters. It's the few percent who aren't sure that count now.

The same thing applies to Clinton supporters. Nobody sane likes either candidate, but they'll side with one or the other as the lesser evil.
FilthyRedmond
No I know quite a lot of people who genually like Trump
ImgurMadeMeChangeMyNameCauseItsDumb
i do too. and it confuses and terrifies me.
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
Let me repeat that one part of my last comment: "Nobody SANE likes either candidate".
FilthyRedmond
Trump has some sane beliefs (I am not a Trump supporter by any means) like his anti-TPP and NAFTA
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
I agree. (Personally, I'm still voting for him over Clinton.) Still, I don't fully like him. I never did.
jsktrogdor
1/7 Clinton was a published legal author in her 20's, she's served on the boards of 3 corporations and a children's hospital. As a Senator

Just like Hillary supporters won't care that she literally called for the government-sanctioned murder of a whistleblower days ago.

There are ignorant people on both sides. But all is all, one of these two canditatea WILL become president. I believe it should be Trump.

Rumor has it the leak came from the Bush camp, which will light a fire under Trump supporters who were looking for an outsider candidate.
FilthyRedmond

pilates4hotties
It's just a rumor based on HW saying he'd vote Clinton and Billy Bush being his nephew.
SecretAgentNestleTollhouse
Same as Hillary Supporters. You hit them with facts but they just say "Are you really bringing that up?"
analblitzkrieg
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE AT THIS POINT
SecretAgentNestleTollhouse
Did I wipe my hard drive??????? With a cloth????????? -cackle- -cackle-
jsktrogdor
As a Hillary supporter, many of those "facts" are just bullshit Fox News spews out of it's foul anus.
SecretAgentNestleTollhouse
Literally look up "Clinton Scandal" on any search engine and even your beloved HuffPo and WashPo can go into immense detail about them
Nowthisisastoryallabouthowlifegotflippedturnedupsidedown
The same happens to Trump. There's corruption on both sides. All televised "news" can be seen null void for how little truth is said.
Voxerus
I'd say the difference is with Hillary it's people talking about her most times. Trump it comes out of his own mouth. 1 might be propaganda.
jsktrogdor
Do not try to draw a false equivalency here. Trump's scandals are all things that he personally says in front of hundreds of cameras.

The apology isn't what I care about. I'm listening to what he says after. He says "my travels have also changed me", and I believe it.

That is laughable.

It isn't. Doesn't mean it's changed him INTO A GOOD PERSON or viable candidate, but it has undeniably changed him, and I think he knows it.

ourari
Well done.
TommyBradly
It probably just slips right up there
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
FACT: Any women he's groped were not aware that they were being groped, because his hands are so tiny.
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
Like a spider crawling over you that you haven't spotted yet.
thatmeddlingkid
Being unknowingly groped by Trump is the most terrifying thing I can imagine.
FuzzyX
Knowing Trump he will now attend some pro-female event then promptly slip in a small insult after.

"Grab them by the pussy" was just an expression. We all know trump's hands are too small for that

Are you kidding? Trump's hands are huge. He grabs tons of pussy. He grabs the best pussy. He's just never been caught, cause he's smart.
bigblindguy
Some even say he's great, he's a great pussy grabbing guy. People ask him how he grabs so much pussy.
Halodragonborn
Did trump actually say to grab them by the pussy?
Nowthisisastoryallabouthowlifegotflippedturnedupsidedown
Yes, listen to the video yourself. Understand the context as well. He said when he was much younger not the same person he is today.
spanky82
He was 59. Not 9. He was bragging to a reporter he barely knew, that he liked to cheat and sleep around with women. That is the context.
fdisk
He said that because he's famous he can get away with doing anything to women, kissing them, grabbing them by the pussy.
AVoiceOfReason
No, he said that starstruck women will let him or anyone, not that he'll just walk up to women and just do it. Small difference but still.
VeryMoistTowelettes
Have you been under a rock for the past 2 days?
Halodragonborn
No. I just don't watch the news.
Utamey
He said you CAN grab them by the pussy. If you're rich, and sometimes he can't help himself.
prodmerc
He's so honest! Vote for him!
Naiirita
if you are rich you can put your girlfriend in the hospital and girls will still flock to you. #teambreezy

"But both candidates are equally bad!" - imbeciles
fdisk
I think it's a valid point, one candidate deleted some emails and the other one's a racist, rapist, adulterer, charlatan; same footing!
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
They are both equally bad in terms of their policies. Personality-wise, Trump is worse, however.
SomeCrazyNerd
Well, Hillary is mostly going to chabge nothing so not as bad as crazy policies he's lying about (no way he'll build the stupid stupid wall)
TheDarkLordOfTrees
"Feel the power on my moderate wisdom! Looks like I win ANOTHER debate!"
ItTastesLikePurple
"I watch South Park it's all I need to know about politics"
EdgelordPrime
I mean, it's a war of "Says terrible things" vs "Does terrible things." It's not hard to see why people are torn.
FrankBiggle
The only reason Trump hasn't done terrible things (debatable) is that he has no experience in Politics.
ItTastesLikePurple
Except it's not that, it's "does somewhat bad things" vs. "says and does atrocious things"
EdgelordPrime
Policy decisions that lead to the deaths of thousands and compromising National Security = "somewhat bad things?"
fdisk
As a former Hillary hater, honestly, what "terrible" thing has she done? Trump has said AND done terrible things by his own admission.
sanddog28
If your seriously asking this question, Benghazi and not just emails but classified emails, two things that put anyone else in jail.
fdisk
Completely exonerated for both things after several investigations by Republicans. Ultimately neither one is as big a deal as they make it.

TRUMP FUCKING ASKED WHY WE CAN'T NUKE ISIS YOU DUMBSHIT Hillary doesn't go "Let's nuke em" you twatdolphin
Xghtai
This is exactly the year to protest vote. A strong 3rd party showing will force Hillary to moderate her economic and foreign policy.
Xghtai
Just like a strong showing by Perot in 1992 forced Bill Clinton to be more fiscally conservative.
rshini
Or a strong showing by Nader gave us Bush!
Xghtai
False. 24,000 Democrats in Florida voted for Nader. 308,000 Democrats in Florida voted for Bush. Gore lost because of Gore.
fdisk
This mentality is how you get Trump elected...all third parties do is fragment the majority vote...
Xghtai
The Rs and Ds do not represent me. Like a growing number of Americans, I despise them both. Were you OK with Clinton being elected in 1992?
fdisk
I was 11, but he did balance the budget and left us at a surplus which we squandered away; so he was good for the country.

Third party is always an option
Zordicron

Johnson's a sellout to foreign interests. Stein believes that wifi damages the brains of children.

Yes, throwing the baby in the wood chipper is also always on the table.
imadethistobegfornudes
Third party will not start at federal level, you can forget about that. Get something going from local/state and ... maybe.
imadethistobegfornudes
... or get the electoral system changed. Good luck there.
Xghtai
The Libertarians currently have state legislators in 4 different sates. They're the first party other than R or D to do that since the 1910s
Xghtai
The states are Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, and Nebraska.
dpfrank
Um, not really.
GreenIsBetterThanBlyou
If Johnson wins the states that he's in second place in, then he could stop Trump or Hillary from getting 270 votes, which might end up 1/

So, you're telling me there's a chance.
GreenIsBetterThanBlyou
Breaking the 2 party system. (even though it's almost guaranteed that if it goes to the house trump or Hillary will still win) 2/2

If no one gets a majority of the Electoral College, then the House picks the next president from the top three. Hope you like Trump.

Ah Jill and Gary. The former is a extremely crazy liberal and the other is a clown. However they still are better than Trump and Hillary.

"Liberal propaganda" "You should go visit /r/the_donald" Maybe you should look up the definition of propaganda.

His comment was a valid suggestion. Why don't you just comment your point instead of asking someone else to think for you. Think independant

poorly. They explain it away a lot like a 4 year old tries to convince you he didn't break something that he very clearly broke.

Take another look, politics is a constantly changing topic. Definatley better than these subjective and misleading comments depicted in pics
DMGuy
You know, you can't claim "overblown bullshit liberal propaganda" about things that are actually verifiable facts, including video evidence.
DidItForScience
I misspoke, some of it is, "just locker room guy talk", "admirable business acumen" or "goddamn right".
DMGuy
Alright, because it sounded like you were trying to say "r/the_donald will accurately set the record straight on why this is all bullshit."
DidItForScience
I don't know how you got that with, "explained away", but maybe that explains my negative post score.

Hillary isn't great but don't for a second try to argue she's anywhere near as bad as Trump. She'll have to do for now.
RedDwarfIV
So far as I know, Trump hasn't managed to lose top secret government documents by keeping them on an unsecured server.
Kingbruddah
That's for a reason. Trump is being paid to put in a show. Hillary is going to go to war.

as in she will be elected, and she will go to war.

You mean like the guy who wants to bomb terrorists' families and nuke North Korea won't?

Yeah, but i'd trust a man who turned 1 million into 6.4 billion to handle our economical situation currently.

Trump is a shitty businessmen. Without that headstart his dad gave him, Trump would be a particularly surly janitor somewhere.

You can say hes shit but 1 million and 6.4 billion are 2 vastly different numbers man.

No, you stated it. That's not an argument.
ArcherGifs
Although I hate Trump as much as the next guy, some of these are a bit... iffy. Like #12. He didn't imply tax payers are idiots because (1)
ArcherGifs
the tax laws he's using are for corporations. He should definitely pay taxes as an American, but he wasn't saying people are idiots. (2)
flarflarf
"the tax laws he's using are for corporations" Nope. This whole discussion is about *personal* income tax.
ArcherGifs
But still considering his words as him saying "you're a dumbass" is a bit much.
flarflarf
idk, if you're smart for doing a thing, and I don't do a thing, what does that make me?
ohgeeRick
He said he's smart for not paying taxes. That does imply anyone not paying taxes are idiots. His own supporters agree.
Nowthisisastoryallabouthowlifegotflippedturnedupsidedown
Exactly my thought, most of these comments, not points, are subjective and misleading. Think independantly.

The post also missed his PTSD comments, His VP doing better at a debate than him, and few other things.
EdgelordPrime
The PTSD bit was pure media spin. http://www.snopes.com/donald-trump-didnt-say-vets-with-ptsd-are-weak/
ratfaceddog
But Snopes is biased!
dennydorko
He made a direct correlation between not getting PTSD & being "strong" when he said people weren't getting it because they were strong.
ronmadafakkinswanson
The tweets were written on October 1st, all these other things happened this week :)
fdisk
His VP looked and acted much better than Kaine, but ultimately hurt his campaign by not being able to defend him and straight up lying.
shinagami091
These were all topics for things that happened the week after the first debate. That happened a bit later
MindlessChaos
PTSD comments were not bad and even the dude asking the question was pissed the media took it out of context.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Hell even the daily show defended him
MindlessChaos
That's surprising. Maybe Trevor Noah has experience with PTSD. Normally the Daily show is pretty biased.
gavriloscharf
All he said was that soldiers with PTSD can not deal with war. That's the fucking definition of PTSD.
gingerloaf
Yeah. I don't like trump, but he definitly showed showed he wanted to help veterans get help. At worst it was just bad wording
MindlessChaos
Yeah, it's also telling that the guy asking the question works at a clinic or something to help vets with PTSD. His opinion is informed.
bixby66
It's really hard to keep up.

I still don't get how people can be mad at him about his PTSD comments.

Even Trevor Noah came out against the way that was spun. Why go after that when he fucked up more than enough legitimately that week
flarflarf
because they were insensitive, incorrect and harmful?
analblitzkrieg
Did you actually look at the whole quote? There's plenty to attack trump on but that simply wasn't one of them.
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
If anything they were pretty respectful and address a major issue facing veterans instead of just sweeping it under the rug?
flarflarf
I understand it was said in a context of "yay for our vets" but that line in particular was stupid, wrong and actively harmful.
SomeCrazyNerd
While his comments were mostly about helping them he said the strong peoole didn't get it. And Bernie spent way more time on veterans.
flarflarf
"if you're strong you won't get PSTD" is basically one of the most corrosive things you can say about the issue.
ImJustOverHere
Taken out of context. They go over that and Hillary Bernie supporter comments in recent episode
skelitor120
For people downvoting: He was misquoted and while shitty verbiage is not uncommon for Trump we can at least take a high ground and not --
skelitor120
-- MAKE UP shit to claim he said when he's already giving us plenty of actual shit to be mad about anyway.

The quote given is real. A transcript provided by a pro-Trump source still shows the suggestion "strong" soldiers don't get it in the middle

Only swing states matter as most states tend to follow a consistent voting trend. If you're not in one your vote matters even less than /1

everyone else's because popular vote doesn't decide the POTUS, the electoral college does. So your vote is double worthless outside swings.

The simple problem of him being in office would make other world powers paranoid about us.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
I'm just confused why you're so focused on the president when the laws are made in congress. The president holds little power.
WookieWookieWookie
Him winning would show how far the people in our country have fallen, even though I don't hold much hope for us anyway.
heynongman4pres
The president controls foreign policy which obviously is what is of most concern to non-Americans. But I'm not crazy about the GOP congress.
Tanishh
POTUS can engage in a conflict for up to X days without consent from Congress. Executive orders. Etc. POTUS has plenty of power.
Selerox
We've seen what Congress does. I don't see them as any better.
LeSethX
The pres does matter. Eg, a republican senator came out this week with a plan to neutralize liberal laws, eg Affordable healthcare (1/?)
LeSethX
by not funding them. Congress has passed such bills already to show they can, but Pres Obama vetoed them. Trump would pass those
LeSethX
There's also the fact that Trump shouldnt have classified knowledge at all, since he has already encouraged Russia hacking the U.S.
RagingOyster
The president had significant power abroad. He is chief diplomat and commander in chief.
GNiko
You do realise that Vietnam War was fought without the approval of the congress? The prez can start "police actions" at whim.
TremendouslyBestWords
You can't imagine Trump starting an international incident by grabbing the wrong pussy?
BlackHartMTB
He is able to declare war, he picks the Supreme Court, he can make executive orders and veto bills, he picks ambassadors and the secretary
BlackHartMTB
Of state. There are many executive organizations like FEMA and the EPA which are under his control as well... very little power?
GNiko
H ecan't declare war, actually. That requires a congress vote. He can start "police actions", however. Like the Vietnam war...
BlackHartMTB
There have been no declared wars since ww2.
mthrndr01
Supreme court appointees, military power, bully pulpit, executive actions. Republicans are better at presenting a united front.
mthrndr01
Oh, and he's popular with the base, so going against him is difficult politically. Until he fucks up bad enough to shatter that base.

StonesOnTheHill
One thing is that a president represents the attitude of the people. Politicians often play to those attitudes.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
I don't think that's true, because if it were, the president would get his way much more than what is actually the case.
TachyonCode
People pay less attention to the Congressional elections than to Presidential ones. Which is why the Presidential one is important, oddly.
TachyonCode
7) Assuming they're not raising yet another false flag or engaging in cronyism, that is.
TachyonCode
6) Or, a Moderate Liberal. I mean, either won't go wrong with social progress, economic stability, and international competency.
TachyonCode
5) It's because, ideally, there'd be a Moderate Conservative in place of one or both of them.
StonesOnTheHill
Maybe. But some see it as: "If they would vote in candidate X, who has opinion Y, then they must have opinion Y, and that's terrifying!"
TachyonCode
3) Of course, with any election, the Congressional election is important even if we get a decent President.
TachyonCode
4) There's a reason this matchup between Hillary and Trump is a pick between "the lesser of two evils".
TachyonCode
2) And that, in itself, is only true because we'd rather have a lame duck than a legally-sanctioned tyrant.
johnvictor
The president handles foreign policy, that's what he's responsible for. You want someone who will be level headed in dealing with others.
AllTheBadOnesWereTaken
Well, for one the US are looking at the election of a new Supreme Court judge. In all fairness, that might be more important than the (1/2)
AllTheBadOnesWereTaken
presidential election. Should Trump win, it would mean another republican judge (not the good kind) shifting power in the highest US court.
TachyonCode
If Trump did win, which it isn't yet safe to rule out (because idiots), we'd need serious veto power in Congress against him.
VictusUnus
Not just one put potentially two or three, since both Kennedy and Ginsburg are in their 80's.

Except that the President is the supreme commander of the United States military. And can veto *any* legislation Congress passes. And more.
WookieWookieWookie
To be fair, Congress can override that veto and probably would with that idiot.
johnvictor
It still requires a quorum and it's very rare to get congress to consistently agree that often.
isaydefy
It's very difficult to get info on even congressional candidates. A lot of the time they run virtually unopposed. Which is by design 1/2
isaydefy
They want people to be uninformed about themselves, what they do, and what they have done, so they can get away with almost anything. 2/2

And they legally gerrymander their districts. My congressman has been been the incumbent since the district was created 15 years ago.

A President can still start international incidents, and incite conflict with other world powers. Oh...and ya know...nuke codes.

There's absolutely no chance on earth that he'll get elected. We pretend like he's a threat to keep ratings and clicks flowing.

We thought that about Brexit and the Columbia/FARC peace agreement. We were wrong.

That was a popular vote that polled close in lead-up. Last I heard, Trump needed to sweep VA, FL, OH, PA to win. Wildly different scenario.
