I'm more leaning Gary Johnson.
He's not gonna explode my ass trying to fight China or something. I'd rather not get shot by the PLA.

@Vilageidiotx Actually it's not "Business as usual" under Pence because should a president be impeached and convicted (impeach just means to bring up the charges) both the president and the VP are forced out of office.
Then if the presidency is filled by the rule of succession, the US House Speaker becomes president.
My suspicion would be a special US election would happen.
Gary Johnson would sign the TPP, nuff said. It's gotta be Trump. Anyone who's willing to support the TPP, either doesn't know what it'll do, or doesn't give a shit about the American people.
Don't know if I've said this before, but there's something inescapably sexy about Ann Coulter.
Trump will most likely pass TPP. He'll either whine for a few weeks then pass it saying he had to compromise to get his wall built, or he will veto it, allow it to be reborn later on in different clothes, and let it slip by in the political off season. TPP is one of those things, so pre-ordained by American capitalism, that there is no holding it back. The forces for it are simply waaaaayyy too strong for the forces against it to succeed. The best victory you can hope for is to change the name. Will it fuck over the American people? Yes. But there is no stopping that short of figuring out a way to kill capitalism wholesale, which is a tall order to say the least.
Isn't she, like, 60 or something?
It may be set in motion, and there may be no stopping it, but this doesn't mean it should be supported. Johnson puts his name behind it, as though to make people think it's a good thing, simply "because free market" or some other buzzword nonsense. At the very least, he can be honest with the American people, and tell them that they're getting a bad deal. Bernie was open about that. Even if Trump wins, and lets it pass, at least he's letting us know that we're getting fucked. Gary Johnson is only helping the elite stay in power, and keeping the public uninformed about what's killing their jobs, driving wages down, and letting trillions of dollars flow out of the country.
And now the cat's out of the bag, and the TPP is so hated that even Hillary has to pretend to be against it, yet Gary is still standing by this deal that everyone knows is bad for them.
I seriously think that what people love about Trump (aside from the wall and the Muslims, of course), is that he's open and straightforward about why we're being fucked, how we're being fucked, how long we've been fucked for, and how hard the thrusts are. I've never heard any other politician talk about the logistics of how China abuses the world's free-trade agreement by artificially devaluing its own currency, to make it impossible for western countries to compete in manufacturing. Trump actually did that, and no one ever gave him credit for it.
Yes she's 55, but I really don't think she looks it. She's got those cheekbones or something, and she's actually got a pretty great body if you see her in a tight t-shirt and shorts... just sayin' (daaaayyymmm). Plus, she's charismatic as hell.
@Wade Wilson I'm sorry, and I apologize that you've been going through it.
But as you said, 'Something people need to get out of their heads'. This isn't just something in my head, even if they do have a better life, they still just want to make you feel horrible.
And I have to disagree with you on physical bullying. People who have been physically bullied literally have black eyes, red marks on their bodies, and are just beaten and bruised by their bully. Meanwhile, a cyber bully can only get at you with words typing, trying to see if they can piss someone off.
I won't change my mind though. I still feel this way about. But I'll say it again, if that's how you feel, I'm sorry and I don't understand and probably never will understand. I respect what you say, so I won't argue with you. So try to be positive, and I know that it can be hard. I mean, for a while I thought I had friends only to realize they were just bullies, making me think they were my friends.
And like I said, even if a cyberbully seems to possibly have a better life. There is no such thing as a life better than yours. Maybe a person is rich and have multiple cars and can do what they want, but are going through depression and are lonely, possibly even lost a family member. While another person may be broke and possibly have someone to care about, has no depression, a possible nice life without money. Someone may be popular at school, but may not be able to graduate and become a bum while a nerd who has no friends can possibly become a scientist.
It all depends on perspective I guess, I would quote something dear to my heart in these situations, but you may not like it.
Trump or Clinton will still punch the middle class in the gut either way.
