I hope I haven't offended any Trump Hilary supporters here Oh, so you don't care if you offended Evangelicals, eh.
I'm assuming that by identifying yourself as Catholic_Lady your faith is very important to you. Both Evangelicals and Catholics share many of the same issues that are important to them. If Hillary is elected she gets to appoint judges to the Supreme Court. What do you think would become of the issues that are so important to you if she's elected? Hope you reconsider about not voting for a presidential candidate.

I'm not sure where you came to that conclusion. Sorry if that was the impression I gave. It was not intended.

Daybreak has Trump ahead, again.
Also, I enjoy seeing America in political turmoil. Maybe they can actually do something about their puppet democracy after the election?

The problem with the daybreak/LA Times poll is that it polls the same people every time. If the pool of people was biased towards Trump originally, which it seems to be, then it won't waver much (and it hasn't).
538 still gives Clinton substantial lead with its analysis of multiple polls: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016...ilebar&v=1
Also, as I keep trying to tell people, national polls are practically useless for predicting presidential races. The president isn't elected by popular vote, but by the electoral college.

Right, I think your comments there are fair Tib. As I think I've mentioned, Obama let America down in his second term. He let them down in his first term as well, but at least he had some genuine achievements like the affordable care act.
Did he keep his promise to close Guantanamo Bay within 100 days of assuming office? Nope. Did he prosecute people that were guilty of torture and war-crimes? No he didn't. In fact he went on to become a war criminal himself. And that's not just me saying that, Noam Chomsky said it:

Trump will be worse in and outside the US.
First, he wants to cut the department of education and give everyone school vouchers. Which opens the way for for-profit schools that don't educate students on anything except work skills (if that...). Which means a dumber populace, which means more Trumps in our future.
Second, he wants to ignore Global Warming. Which is a pretty major issue that effects everybody. We finally come to an agreement, and now President Trump wants to end it
Third, he wants to end the Iran deal.
Fourth, he wants to put a 45% tariff on Chinese Goods. (Bad for outside the US and bad for the US too)
Of course he also wants to criminalize abortion (Make Women Second Class Citizens again!), he wants to make gay marriage illegal again, and he wants to curtail the first amendment--especially the freedom of the press.

Oh! Noam Chomsky said it?!? Must be true! /s
Obama tried to close Gitmo; he's still trying to close it. He's hit numerous roadblocks along the way, most aren't his fault. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/0...ent=safari
Don't forget that under the Obama administration the number of detainees dropped from 242 to 60. That's at least progress.

The way Aractus goes on about him, you'd think the President was somehow all powerful, rather than just one part of the American government. Obama didn't let the American people down; he was up against a Republican congress that tried to block him at every turn, even going so far as to shut the government down.

For fuck sake can Americans please let this shit go, she will never be on tiral for this! Getting her in a court room for this would be like trying to get Vladimir Putin put on trial for the many murders he has commented or has told people to commit.
