I am going to call it as I see it, that is a very stupid reason to vote for him. If you support his politics, fine. But if you honestly think he is going to march into that oval office and destroy a system that he benefits from... well... I would suggest a deeper exploration of your voting priorities.

I don't think he has a choice it is just his nature, and his mouth will do the rest. What should I vote for that is more important that a complete restructuring of the government? Yea, there is nothing. The liberals don't have enough cookies in the cookie jar, and we could have better than the tiny little crumbs. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on when the whole damn building is on fire.

The system may be broken but to look to a president with the belief that they will "fix" everything is naive. You should vote on political platforms and voting history. Voting for someone into an office for the sake of being different is a waste of a vote and potentially very dangerous.

You say that like their past record matters. They are for sale to the highest bidder, and will flip-flop in an instant. Anyway, popular vote counts for less than nothing really... No point in getting one's panties in a bunch... It's just just a placebo for the masses.

I think the big takeaway lesson here is this.
As the more mainstream candidates fall away their support doesn't necessarily go to the other mainstream candidates. Trump must have picked up some of Bush's and Kasich's supporters. More than Rubio did.
I was very disappointed by Kasich's miserable showing.

That, or their supporters simply did not show up to the caucuses--I saw some discussion of low turnout in Nevada, which would also serve to give Trump a higher percentage of the vote.

1) Tired of their jobs moving to China and illegal immigrants.
And Trump, who employs illegals in his companies, will certainly help. Lol.
2) Haven't seen a prosperous time in 40 years.
Thanks largely to the Republicans deregulating everything.
3) Obamacare is hurting people. Especially people who have lost their job. It is usually taking 3-6 months or longer to get re-employed. The sin tax is a punch right in the balls for these folks.
Obamacare is the only reason why a lot of people got health insurance over the last few years, including me. Single-payer would be better, but getting a camel to go through the eye of a needle would be easier than to get Republicans to agree to that. Insuring poor and working class people isn't really a priority to them. Obamacare was a poor compromise with the right-wingers, but it was better than nothing at all.
4) Have never had a point in history where the wealthy have had so much of the cash.
So let's give a multibillionaire scumbag demagogue the presidency. Lol.

I dunno.

The status quo certainly hasent done anything worthwhile. Seems a dammed if you do, dammed if you dont situation exists.
 
You realize that you're talking about the lives and livelihood of millions of people, right? This isn't a video game.

This is the thing that gets overlooked for all politicians. How many millions of lives will be effected if Sanders is elected? It can be verifiable demonstrated for years that Jews have been influencing American foreign policy. Israel has been begging for USA to strike Iran for years. What do you think will happen when they have one their own in the White House? How many lives will be effected by another conflict in the Middle East? The Trump "controversy" is just another misdirect.

Be mindful of the wolf in wolf's clothing.

Not all Jews are blind supporters of Israeli foreign policy.
EDIT: Hell, not all Israelis are supporters of Israeli foreign policy.

I'm quite certain Corbyn will win the next one. The reason most people voted Tory is because they didn't fully understand what Conservatives were about. Mrs. Mycroft voted tory because she wanted the human rights act scrapped, but she's horrified now at everything else they're doing.
They happily voted for them in 2010, and now voted for them again after 5 years of austerity, I think they know what's coming haha

I can agree with you in principal, but Bernie looks better in this respect than many other politicians.
