You know why? Trump is such a superficial candidate that he barely talks about policies and when he does talk about policies he doesn't go into enough detail for anyone to have an argument over his intended policies. Trump is a con man/reality show guru that has relied on sound bites his entire campaign. He used the speeches at his rallies to say outlandish things to use the media for attention and garner more followers but now that the media isn't in his favor and more recent events are severely hurting his campaign. All of a sudden, the election is rigged and the media is biased and out to get him. Give me a **** break. He is a big whiny baby that can't handle losing.

Well at least you know your place.

I pretty much agree with all of that.

I tweeted an anti-Hillary article today and seconds later got added to a pro-Trump group. Does this mean I have to support him now?

The WW3 **** is kind of cliche at this point because everybody has been predicting it like doomsday for decades. 'The war in Iraq is going to become WW3' Though, there is a little more weight with Hillary wanting to police Putin, it's still pretty cliche. Also, look at how Trump reacted towards Bill Maher's birther joke. That kind of overreaction is what scares me. I mean, really, the President has the power to wield the military around like a hand gun in a gangster rap video.

You know what else is cliche? The idea that this election is the most important election of our lives and it is not the election to "waste" your vote. I heard that last election, and the election before that, and when Bush was running. At what point do the voters sack up and vote for who they really want? Just wait until four years from now when the insane American voters repeat the same cycle and wonder how politicians get away with being so crooked. The saddest part is that we are completely self aware of our stupid voting habits but we still don't do anything about it. At that point could anybody really pity our country if it falls on hard times as a repercussion?

Completely ****ed up when I'm constantly being told about the importance of voting but voting for anybody who isn't who they want is a wasted vote. Nah, you're just a dumb contradiction.

The election is already over I very much doubt a brexit will happen at this point. Boris Johnson had positive favourability rating with the general public....Trump does not.

Trump beat Trump. He could have won, but his personality is just to narcissistic and unstable for the general public to swallow. The only reason this race is still competitive, is because Trump is offering an alternative to policies that large parts of the American public desperately want changed, which both the Republican and Democratic establishment are the same on. (free trade, immigration and foreign policy)

As for Clinton, I've been a little hard on her, but she is so disliked by the general public I can't see her serving more than a four year term. The one good thing about a Clinton Presidency is that the first one is the only President who has been able to balance the books and run a surplus since....well a very long time. You have to all the way back to the Keynesian post war economy under Nixon before you can find a Republican President who didn't run consistent deficits. So there you go, park your classical liberal vote with the Clintons.

I've been hearing just as much (if not more) from people on the left saying the same thing about Trump.

Even with a Democratic congress those two things can't happen. Also traditionally, Republicans are more known to be the one that pushes for wars and world policing/getting involved in foreign countries. Democrats usually want to cut back on military spending.

When it comes to Republicans and Democrats during war, it's an even split between both political parties...

American Revolution - George Washington (Non-affiliated)
War of 1812 - James Madison (Democratic-Republican)
Mexican-American War - James K. Polk (Democratic)
US Civil War - Abraham Lincoln (Republican)
Spanish American War - William McKinley (Republican)
World War I - Woodrow Wilson (Democratic)
World War II - Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democratic) and Harry S. Truman (Democratic)
Korean War - Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican)
Vietnam War - Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican), John F. Kennedy (Democratic), Lyndon B. Johnson (Democratic), and Richard Nixon (Republican)
Persian Gulf War - George H. W. Bush (Republican)
Second Persian Gulf War - George W. Bush (Republican) and Barack Obama (Democratic)

I've been hearing that line uttered in every Presidential election since I started paying attention to politics back in 1976 and I'm sure it was being repeated each election cycle long before that.

I'm sure there's some kind of deep meaning behind that.
It's basically the 4'33'' of PMs.
