Not particularly a Trump fan here, but the alternative is extremely gloomy.....to the point of the complete destruction of my Country. And I am dead serious.
Lol....
Trump wants and has volunteered to lose for Hillary or he would have been killed by a crazy gun owner and Dems would have a win win...
As of right now in WNY he has a lot of support. I drive around WNY daily and have seen so many Trump signs I could never count them. On the other hand since before Hillary gained(stole) the nomination I have seen a total of 4 Bernie signs, 3 for Hillary, and 2 Hillary for prison signs. At this point it seems Trump has been more energizing.
When Obama ran his first campaign there were considerably more Obama signs than Romney in the same areas. I still see two Obama signs out and there isn't a Hillary sign next to them!
The people with the Trump signs really want him to win but there are a lot more out there who are just going to pull the Trump lever to block the criminal! I am one of them.
At this point I really feel it is in Trumps favor. Man I hope he dosn't blow it!
Do I have to go on?
I really hope the convention is a wild west scenario where we change candidates to someone who can win.
I don't think Americans should vote for either Trump or Hillary. Both lack character and the leadership skills we need - Trump would be Reagans shoe-shine boy.
As a staunch Republican we better make a change at halftime if we want to win.
Borders, immigration and forcing of immoral values by the Federal government lead comments from the older retirees and a number of blacks merit on the road.
Putting the Hillary targets in public restrooms seemed to be an easy opening for political conversation. I did not try to "target" women's bathrooms. ;o)
BTW... The idea of transgender potty rules was universally unacceptable.
I believe this election is one for the GOP (not Trump) to loose. I have said from the start that Hillary is our enemy and must be defeated. This party has no record of opposition when it comes yto the obamunists, and Hillary is one on steroids. It is foolish to even consider that they would be any different should she win--especially with Ryan and McConnell as leadership.
They have, however, shown that they have no fear of opposing Trump and would bring back some balance to our system
The problem is that Trump being Trump, is beating Trump.
He needs to get a more professional delivery, on more developed and detailed plans, with a more professional organization behind him. He has the opportunity to win... he has just not shown the ability yet (under the different conditions of a 'general' election).
Setting any deliberate anti-Trump hate aside for a moment - he is expected to be better than Hillary on Jobs, the military, 2nd amendment, immigration, plus wanting to fight and defeat ISIS. Pretty important stuff.
Today Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said Donald Trump was not yet a “credible candidate.”
There are more unpredictables in this election than any in history. What happens when both candidates are despised by well over 50% of the electorate? Does it come down to turnout of their followers? Who could have predicted that one guy could talk over 900 into drinking cyanide?

The tables have turned in this week’s White House Watch. After trailing Hillary Clinton by five points for the prior two weeks, Donald Trump has now taken a four-point lead.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 43% of the vote, while Clinton earns 39%. Twelve percent (12%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
The only one that can blow it for Trump is Trump. It was a great move I think getting rid of his campaign manager and the discipline he has shown lately has been very good. His speech attacking Hilary was great. The first debate will be a deciding factor as it was for Reagan and Carter.
His negatives are high because he's been a professional jackass for decades. If he continues in that vein, he'll have his Howard Dean moment and the country will have four years of Hillary. I place the odds of Trump sinking his own boat at better than 75%.
Not. A. Chance. In 2012, 7,076,000 people voted in New York. In New York City and just the immediate suburbs alone there were 4,132,000 votes, about half the counties of which Obama won with no problem (Richmond, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk), and the other half he won with an astounding margin (Westchester, Bronx, Queens, Kings, New York). That doesn't include any of the other counties in eastern New York that voted for Obama, or any of the Liberal counties in central NY that voted Obama, or Erie County (Buffalo), a heavy population county that voted overwhelmingly for Obama, or Monroe County (Rochester), which voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Obama beat Romney statewide by just a hair under 2 million votes. You could give Trump every single vote from the counties in Western New York that voted for Romney, of the people that voted in 2012 (including everyone that voted for Obama), and it wouldn't even make a dent in the margin of popular vote that Obama beat Romney by statewide. You could even give Trump every single vote that was cast in Erie (Buffalo) and Monroe (Rochester) - both of which Obama won big in 2012 - and it still wouldn't come close to putting Trump over the top if his numbers elsewhere in the state are even remotely similar to Romney's from 2012.
"The problem is that Trump being Trump, is beating Trump."
So, in other words, he should try to be someone other than who he really is in order to win? Apparently some folks haven't figured out why a lot of voters want to throw the bums out of Washington. Let us know when you get a clue.
I for one have said that there should be no way anyone could lose to hilary. My contention has been less that he would lose to hilary than that hilary will not be on the ticket and trump would lose to almost any anonymous candidate.
My other contention is that a trump win is not a win for America. As someone else pointed out, it may seem better in the short run, but in the long run either trump or hilary are a disaster for America. I hope I am wrong!
Why did they mean something in the primaries but nothing now?
Just like global warming scientists.....only data you like....
And yes, Jack, I know, I should be drinking more beer.
I know I should...
-He's so weak, he can't even unite Republican donors,
-His campaign attempted to raise funds from foreign politicians, which is obviously stupid and clearly illegal
-Trump can't convince more than a handful of elected Republicans to defend him, endorse him, cheer for him etc.
What's his strategy? Even political campaign experts are baffled. Of course Trumpettes will cheer him on anyway.."he's an outsider!!" "That's what outsiders doooo!" Right....
he can't even post under his real name.

He can always find something to be critical of any person or idea that does not fit the liberal-social meme; and yet fails to see himself in the mirror.
Rules, regulations and morals are for everyone but himself. What a role model for his offspring.
Maybe she can grow up and be another Liarwatha just like her dad.
However, this IS what many will be saying:
"I don't consider myself a Hilary supporter, I find her quite scuzzy( I do like that word). Frankly, I will be voting for her because Donald Trump is a ill tempered hate monger and the mere thought of him with his finger on the button scares me down to my core.
Do I particularly like voting for Hildog? No, but this is our system.
Voting for Johnson is a "look at me", waste of a vote. The true uprising for this election should have happened years ago, when we should have demanded better choices on both sides. I am certainly guilty of shrugging my shoulders and this is what I've gotten."

"I have this in my e-mail signature: "Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to talk to you again" from Simone and Garfunkel, the Sound of Silence. Those words meant so much to me in the 60s as I grappled with the Vietnam War! They seem so relevant today as we contemplate the up coming elections! Am I missing something or we about to repeat history!!??"
That is pretty much what a female friend of ours told us, and she always votes Republican. She's voting Hillary because she's scared that Trump will start another world war with his massive emotional insecurity and insufferable ego.
So you're saying it was the polls in the primary season that influenced you to vote for Trump?
But the polls showing him losing in the General also influence you to vote for Trump?
You do realize how totally inconsistent you're being, right?
Maybe that's what this world needs. It's very clear Islamic state doesn't want world peace.
I have thought one was coming for awhile.
Many weak people do not understand negotiating from a position of strength. They fail miserably to see the complete lack of results of Obama's leading from behind and are scared to death that if the USA takes a stand that will lead to war.
Factoid they miss. We are in a major world war but our side does not recognize it.
God bless, Steve

When did we become a nation ruled by fear?
Many people with a serious lack of judgement do not understand when they're being conned by a talented Con Man.
"It is as crazy to vote for hilary out of fear of trump as it is to vote for trump out of fear of hilary."
I didn't say she was right to do it, but her vote for Hillary will count nonetheless.
Not ruled by fear, but guided by the ability to recognize forces of evil.....like Clinton......which by definition must be rejected.
And those who praise her and give her money. I agree!
Unfortunately, the strategically placed enemy will win the nomination.
We can dream.....
Your 100% right. I still can't believe people are suckers for Obama's con game.
If he goes with a 2yr junior senator just because she is a chick, he shoots himself in the foot to pander to the female demographic. Bah!
Oh, and have you heard/seen what Ted Cruz has been doing?? For all the Trumpettes who said that he isn't a real Conservative, and how can he get elected when his own colleagues hate him, blah, blah, blah???? He has been standing up to the establishment and fighting for our Constitution on a daily basis, once he got back to the Senate after losing to Trump... Ted IMO should have been the guy.. Just sayin'.. He has character and morals.
The presidential race has grown a bit tighter in this week’s White House Watch survey.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Donald Trump with 42% of the vote, while Hillary Clinton earns 40%. Thirteen percent (13%) still like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
This survey was taken Tuesday evening following FBI Director James Comey's announcement that his agency would not seek any indictments of Clinton despite her "extremely careless" handling of classified information while serving as secretary of State. Most voters disagree with Comey’s decision.
Trump pulled ahead of Clinton last week 43% to 39%, his highest level of support in Rasmussen Reports’ matchups with Clinton since last October. Support for Clinton remains below the level of support she received for most of June.
Trump now earns 73% support among his fellow Republicans and picks up 13% of the Democratic vote. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Democrats like Clinton, as do 11% of RAT-GOP voters. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Trump holds a 20-point lead, but 33% of these voters like some other candidate or are undecided.
This cartoon is an example of how they think.
A position I have held for almost every democrat since bill was in office, and for a large percent even before that.
