October 9, 20169 yr Author I read it. I was commenting mainly on the hypocrisy of the Left. I stand by my post. That's the problem, this thread is just like the media. Focus on Trump's ills and give Hillary a pass. I haven't given anybody a pass. I simply asked for reasoning without mentioning the other candidate. I haven't seen many legitimate reasons that don't involve Hillary, that's my point. If I had it my way, EVERY candidate regardless of party would run their campaign without acknowledging the other candidate even exists, and run their campaign based on what they will do, rather than how they're not the other candidate.
October 9, 20169 yr Author Your last sentence sounds like the rules the moderators have used in the debates. I added that because I assumed the anti-Dem/pro-Trump crowd can't produce very many reasons to vote for Trump other than he's not Hillary. Also the, "If you vote for Hillary, you get what you deserve" mantra being thrown around is the most hilarious thing I've read in a while on here, considering those saying it are voting for Trump.
October 9, 20169 yr Author Good post. That is the kind of info I believe Deuce is looking for. The SCOTUS point is what I'm looking for, yes. I'll NEVER understand anyone, of any party, saying they won't vote for another candidate based solely on their political party. What is the point in even trying to have a conversation with people like that?

What is the point in even trying to have a conversation with people like that? I guess you missed the abortion reason. I can't vote for a person if they uphold their parties stance on being pro-abortion. How is that so hard to understand?
October 9, 20169 yr Author So far I have gathered: - Shock treatment, shake up Washington - Reducing regulations in Washington - Protecting American Jobs - He isn't a Democrat - Wont make the SCOTUS more liberal - Says what he thinks - Border Control - Abortion
October 9, 20169 yr I haven't given anybody a pass. I simply asked for reasoning without mentioning the other candidate.

If I had it my way, EVERY candidate regardless of party would run their campaign without acknowledging the other candidate even exists, and run their campaign based on what they will do, rather than how they're not the other candidate. I think in this election more votes will be cast against a candidate rather than for a candidate.
October 9, 20169 yr Author I guess you missed the abortion reason. I can't vote for a person if they uphold their parties stance on being pro-abortion. How is that so hard to understand? It's not hard to understand. You are anti-Democrat. You're not voting for a Dem come hell or high water. So like I referenced earlier, conversation with you is going to fall on deaf ears. I do appreciate you sharing your views, though.
October 9, 20169 yr Author I think in this election more votes will be cast against a candidate rather than for a candidate. I don't. My opinion (as @mcpapa touched on) is that all the people that say "He says what he thinks" are really saying "he's saying what we want to say but won't." I'm not saying there won't be people voting for Trump because they don't want Hillary, but the majority of votes cast for Trump will be because they WANT Trump.

Ah, how tolerant and non-judgmental you are of others opinions. :ohbrother:
October 9, 20169 yr Author I fully understand the idea of having someone who isn't a career politician in the White House to shake some things up. I think it would be great in a lot of ways. Donald Trump is not that person.
October 9, 20169 yr Author Deaf ears because I am anti-abortion? Ah, how tolerant and non-judgmental you are of others opinions. :ohbrother: I'm not judging you at all. You've made it clear you are never voting for someone that is pro-Choice. Why would I expect anything from you in this conversation other than "He's not a Democrat"?
October 9, 20169 yr I don't. My opinion (as @mcpapa touched on) is that all the people that say "He says what he thinks" are really saying "he's saying what we want to say but won't." I'm not saying there won't be people voting for Trump because they don't want Hillary, but the majority of votes cast for Trump will be because they WANT Trump. So you are going with the most that vote for Trump are, let's see, racist, misogynist, bigotted, womanizer, etc. type people?
October 9, 20169 yr I'm not judging you at all. You've made it clear you are never voting for someone that is pro-Choice. Why would I expect anything from you in this conversation other than "He's not a Democrat"? Pro-abortion. There are plenty of other reasons not to vote for Hillary besides, "She's a Democrat". You aren't interested in hearing those evidently based on the rules of your thread.
October 9, 20169 yr Author So you are going with the most that vote for Trump are, let's see, racist, misogynist, bigotted, womanizer, etc. type people? I think Trump is all those things. That doesn't mean I think everyone that votes for him is. How often do we agree with EVERYTHING about another individual, much less a person running for political office. To answer your question, no, I absolutely do not assume those things about someone who votes for Trump.
