Either way, all Americans would have to be lobotomised, because neither one of them is good for the future of the USA.

And giving Trump and his supporters a free pass on his ideology is? Demonising your opponents has had a long trend of success in politics, at least with Clinton if she's mischaracterising, islt's by downplaying Trump's tendencies.

I'm thinking that your first sentence suffers an evacuated middle, and your second doesn't make sense to me -- would you mind clarifying it?

So, Hilary stated that Trump supporters are racist, homophobic etc...

So, there are no racists who support Clinton then?

Why he speaks American, of course. God only knows what you did with the language after we left.

I'd suggest you look up the words "colloquialism" and "slang" ... for all your vaunted education you seem remarkably ignorant of a basic concept in our language.

No it's not.

Romney needed substantial support from the 47% if he were to win the election. Clinton doesn't depend on a single one of the basket of deplorables.

You are simply a descendent of European immigrants that stole Native Indian peoples land. That makes them no different to those who did the same to Africa, Australia and South America.

And you are just a descendant of immigrants who stole Neanderthal lands. Don't act like you are any different, or like we are responsible for the actions of people long dead.

Perhaps you're right ... but I always thought it bad to go after your opponent's followers rather than your opponent directly, it hampers one's ability to peel votes. With the polling as close as it is right now, it's not smart.
