You know the stupid thing? I know the right times to use it, but I have trouble explaining it. My parents just always wrote in proper English so I just copied them

Yeah that's going to be the best thing about Trump, the military playing a more political role. That always ends well.

It is devastating to many women. Absolutely. Hell, just having issues getting pregnant at all causes a whole boatload of depression, anger, stress.

That was posted in response to Gen. Hayden, former CIA director, saying that the military would not follow orders of a President Trump, which is equally as stupid.

My former Brigade Commander, now Army IG, BG Iacocca said that he never votes in the presidential election because he fundamentally believes that you "should not be able to choose your boss".

God, that's stupid. I guarantee that won't be the case.

I think the flag officers are just a wee bit out of touch with their rank-and-file

Similar to the GOPe actually

Pretty apt. For the most part, both have different lifestyles, different backgrounds, and different priorities than those they're "speaking for".

Well, it's official. I'm not voting Republican this year. This is a first for me. I'd rather vote in Hillary for 4 years and then get a chance to vote in a real conservative in 2020 than to vote in liberal Trump today and then get stuck voting between Donald and a Democrat again in 2020. Sorry folks, I just can't vote for that man and so many people I know are planning on doing the same thing.

I never thought I'd see the day I would post this, but...



Hillary 2016.

We had Obama for 8 years. We have(had?) our chance for a real conservative with Cruz & Rand. It doesn't get much better than that for a conservative. Only person I would throw into that mix is Mike Lee.

And give Hillary the next (probably 3) Supreme Court nominees? Seems short-sighted.

If Rand or Bloomberg ever made a serious run, I probably would have voted for them.

These 2 are absolutely nothing alike.

Rand did and he lost.

Yeah. At this point I've given up on finding a candidate remotely close to how I feel, but either is more reasonable than what we have now. Maybe not Rand on second thought, however

I trust Hillary far more than I trust Trump and I don't even like her and would normally never consider giving her my vote.

Pretending you don't know who David Duke is? WTF?

Would you rather Trump nominate the next nominees? It'll be about as bad as Hillary. He's a liberal, who conveniently claims Conservative when it suits him (as in the election).

With Donald, we get 8 years of guaranteed liberal policies. With Hillary, we get 4 and a chance to vote her out of the white house in 2020. I'm going with Hillary. It's our best chance.

Really?

Hillary's self admitted friend and mentor Robert Byrd was an actual KKK member.

She is a disgusting human

Given the brand power of the incumbent president, and the power of personal brand in presidential politics (aka why we are getting Trump vs Clinton), I don't think we'll ever see a single term president (minus scandals) ever again.

Hell the only single term president in my lifetime only lost because because of Ross Perot.
