I am neither a Conservative or a Liberal, Republican or Democrat , both have their good points and bad. But going into this election, before all the Primaries started ,my thought was that at this point in time we need a Republican in office, and that was my mind set. But, it does not matter one bit what Donald Trump knows about business or anything like that, he may be outstanding in those areas, but, we cannot have a person leading this country who shows the kind of disrespect he does towards anyone he does not agree with. He acts like a school yard bully. The President of the United States has to have a certain demeanor, has to respect even those he or she does not agree with and maintain an even and cool head...........
Current leader believes that your thinking on this is antiquated.
For me, I want to know the "sins" of the devil I'm electing rather than have that devil try to convince everybody that they are without "sin."
Lastly, with immigration and terrorism at inflection points, Hillary is 100% untrustworthy as President.
Sounds like a Trump endorsement to me.I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Europe he is considered a joke
Trump is very dangerous. He was not even the nominee and because of his stupid comments we had some of our closest Allies rethinking their entire defense strategy. We cannot have a President who does stuff like that. In the real world, his non thought out comments could cause irreversible damage very quickly. There has already been a debate before the House of Commons in England on whether he should be banned from entering that country. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Europe he is considered a joke

Anyone other than Trump would have been McCain and Romney all over again. Please.This shows in some ways how Hillary doesn't matter and only Trumps juvenile ways do.
Don't want to get into a big debate on this but..........as far as running their mouth.........all these candidates run their mouth, say stuff just to get elected, difference with Trump is that he says stuff that is so stupid, so non thought out that it causes our allies and our adversaries a lot of concern........not that he would do the stuff he says, most of it is not in any way feasible, but that he would say stuff that is so far out there that it just shows the entire world that he has no clue.......the POTUS cannot do that.Didn't current leader change defensive posture and relationships in several Eastern European nations and elsewhere?
Any new leader, along with the changing dynamics that come with time, will have leaders of all nations rethinking policies, alliances, etc.
So nothing you're saying causes me concern re: Trump.
What does cause me concern is that Hillary already has a track record of poor decision making, hell, BAD decision making when it comes to American lives.
Who's got your back with any level of believability? Not Hillary.
Who runs their mouth maybe a little too abrasively for some? Trump.
That's a very large difference, made noticeably drastic against the backdrop of current immigration, terrorism, and national security inflection points.
The way the world economies and defense is set up we have to worry what others think........only thinking about us is one of the things that enabled WW II to be as devastating as it was. Had we not adopted an isolationism stance things probably would have been stopped before they got out of hand...........To me the reason our government is the mess it is currently is because we are more worried about the outside world and not putting America first.
Europe is going down the crapper fast, they are just as incompetent as the current administration and congress. Trump may not be the answer but keeping the status quo is suicide.

Have you ever lived in a foreign country? and I am not talking about visiting for a couple weeks, I mean for years or decades? It gives you a totally different impression on how the world actually works. Not this fairy tale that people around here tend to believe
As I said just because of his comments, which showed a total lack of knowledge and tact, our closest allies were re evaluating their relationships with us. We cannot have someone like that running this country. I really don't think he has much chance to be elected but it's the fact that he does have a chanceYour level of worry on this, especially when choosing between someone who has demonstrated LIVES aren't all that important, and that accountability for others, is frankly, odd.
It's also odd that your implication seems to be that Trump is so crazy that economies and defensive pacts could possibly crumble if he is elected.
Odd...and dramatic.
Also, where is this mass of people talking about strict isolationism?
Sounds like leftist propoganda. Looked online and found nothing but opinion pieces. Any link to something factual?As I said just because of his comments, which showed a total lack of knowledge and tact, our closest allies were re evaluating their relationships with us.

Well, Hillary laughing about assassinating a head of state is the most disgusting thing I've scene from either two candidates.I am neither a Conservative or a Liberal, Republican or Democrat , both have their good points and bad.

First off you don't have a clue in what you are saying. I worked in NATO for 11 years, our Allies do their fair share and then some. We massively cut back our commitment to NATO over the past 20 years, there is a good reason for us cutting back, but we cannot go any further. NATO countries aside, our other major allies, mainlyThis is what the "we have to appease our allies" crowd doesn't get. They need us a lot more than we need them. Trump gets this, most politicians do not.
For some reason the USA has been willing for decades to enter into agreements that went against our best self interests in order to make our "friends" happy. It's time to do what is in the best interest of American citizens and if their is reason and ABILITY to help friendly countries then we can do it.
Going trillions into debt and giving out 100's of billions to other countries makes no sense to me what so ever.
Spoken like I true world order bureaucrat. If NATO, the UN and every other major country including the USA are so smart and terrific how did the world get so screwed up?
I'm just a red state rube and you're a worldly world traveler I guess I should know my own ignorance. Congrats to you and all your international friends on doing a great job managing the world.

I kind of find the point that we should worry about what Europe thinks odd. Same with any region really. We are the greatest country on earth, why would we care what a declining empire that is being overrun by cavemen thinks?
I had a Norwegian osu student say something to me last week. He said "for some reason people from Oklahoma are really proud of where they are from." It really pissed me off but I was in a professional capacity so I just made a joke and went on. all these people come here to complain. Mexicans risk their lives to come here to wave the flag of the piece of shit country they are leaving? What am I missing?
Too much of our country has lost their patriotism or nationalism whatever you want to call it. It's sad. If I was a hard working Mexican or a moderate Muslim that made it to American soil I would say close the ****ing door behind me.
