Either way with Hillary or Trump you'll get nothing but incredibly basic lip service and empty promises to things Americans want, while they hobnob with the grand poobahs and cement their "legacy" as far as preparing to make 50x more money when they leave.

Trump is good for the materialists, since he'd venerate mindless consumerism. poo poo, he would probably do paid ads from the Oval Office.

Hillary is good if you're a newborn to political realities and have no idea how anything works, and you think just because she says liberal causes are awesome that she's not actually shaking hands with the guys that do the opposite all day long.

Letting LGBT people be regular members of society as opposed to second class (at best!) ones means that money they'd currently spend fighting the government can instead be spent on whatever economic boosting thing. Like, every dollar spent fighting against Republican bullshit is a dollar that'd be worth more spent on something else. Caterers are probably better for the economy than lawyers.

It's kind of hard to say since both Clinton and Trump are campaigning on personality rather than issues.

If they are the nominees, I'd try to choose the one that would be less likely to start a war with Iran (or anyone else) and would be more likely to address wealth inequality. I can''t say at this point who, between Clinton and Trump, would be a better choice on these issues.

good point. "Personality" is not correct. She is campaigning on "life story" and "experience" and "has a vagina".

But I think my main point on how neither Trump nor Clinton are addressing issues is valid.

Well, if you really want to know, justices appointed by democrats are far more likely to vote against deregulation, in both campaign finance and private sector, most notably in landmark cases. The gradual erosion in one direction another may be arguably bipartisan, but the big cases (where entire policy shifts are made) are far more likely to occur along bipartisan lines.

In fact, in the very case you're calling ambiguous, two of the 4 justices who voted against CI were Clinton appointees. I fail to see Hillary's appointees having large ideological differences from all precedent.

Also, the economy has always improved under democrats (going back 86 years). There's too many factors to call it causation in a laboratory- but it's a schmactoid republicans ignore and democrats shouldn't. I honestly don't know why debates aren't just the democratic nominee walking out with a t-shirt with this on it, and dropping a mic. The 'explicitly factual' thing would hardly stop Trump from doing it. I've yet to see any meta analysis of economic growth that disputes this.

Plus, a war with Iran and loving destroying diplomacy with mexico, going back to blindly supporting Israel... and everything else people have said (human rights, Cuba, healthcare, economy). If you have a kid or know a kid who's 10 years old, imagine him/her dead in Iran in 8 years.

If that's not reason enough, you'll most likely have more wealth in the long term with a democratic president, your kids will be able to afford school better, and if you do try to kill yourself, as you probably should- you will have better odds at being covered at your ER visit.

Bush is from a big political dynasty (goes back generations, whole family involved in politics one way or another). Clinton is not. No one in her family except her husband is a politician, and no one in his family is except his wife.
