If there isn't one US bank that will lend Donald money, why should we trust him with ours?

If he stiffs his workers as often as he does, why should we believe he going to bring jobs here?

If he makes all of the products he sells *here* in other countries, why should we believe he loves America at all?


It's making some headway, folks, but I still don't know a single Bernie supporter that isn't voting Orange. I am not kidding. I am in the reddest part of a very blue state.

and don't even getting me started on that rat fucker Ralph Fucking Nader (R-Asshole).

Also, to be honest, I only knew of five hard core Bernie supporters, and now that I think of it, one of them is with us now (but I didn't consider him when I wrote the OP anyway...) So the four hard core Bernie supporters that I know (and are related to) are voting for the angry yam now.

the problem is what Pumpkinhead will change us to.

16 years of frustration on both the left and right have brought us to this.

but I knew if he did not get nominated I would vote for Hillary. I did not have to think about that decision at all. I do not understand how fellow Bernie supporters could vote for Trump. He is against EVERYTHING Bernie stood for. Hillary might not be as far left as Bernie but she is talking with him and working things out. Trump would NEVER do that with Bernie. I would like a Bernie voter gone to Trump to explain why they went with such a dangerous choice.

I would have voted for Bernie in a NY minute, but I am so glad for this glass ceiling to be broken. I hope we can do it

I don't get that line of thinking. It's like going to a restaurant, being told they don't have that salad you like, so you're just going to drink a glass of liquid drain cleaner instead.
