Well, then, do what's best for the Country in the long term and vote for Clinton. I know it's tough. But even though both scenarios are bad Trump being President is the worst case scenario. This country simply can NOT put somebody like that into that important a position.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

It was a typo. "Cunt" came out as "Country".

Folks betting on the line currently have it between 73 and 78 percent Clinton...and even Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders are taking up points in the spread..

These odds are consistent with both US and foreign gambling business.

Looks like if you want to win big, bet on The Donald..

I love the bernie endorsement, just another fine example of the hypocrisy this election cycle has been mired in. It was what, only a month ago when bernie (accurately) blasted hilldog for being unqualified for POTUS due to her shoddy record. What happened to all that railing against the big banks, and the crusade for the little people, the equality and justice for all? :suspicious:

At the end of the day bernie is just another career politician whose movement was just a fad. It's sad really, I felt he was the most honest and had the most character of them all (on both sides) seeing as how his record was consistent, turns out it was all just a sham. Going to be fun watching the bernie folks like up and kiss the ring of he establishment from here on out. :ohno: :lol:

I disagree. I don't see how voting for an extremely careless traitor who has been in government service most of her life and has no positive notable accomplishments, but a string of notable failures, negatives, rumors and suspicious activities to go along with a volatile hair trigger temper could possibly be good for the country. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?

I'm sure there are a large number of Sanders supporters who will back Hillary, but I'm guessing there's fewer than you guys think. The anti-establishment vein runs deep on both sides and that cat is out of the bag a bit. I know two Sanders delegates who would never back Hillary and that seems consistent with comments I'm reading on social media and elsewhere...
But some of Sanders’ ardent supporters in Washington state weren’t ready Tuesday to throw their support behind Clinton, the former secretary of state who has amassed enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination.

“I don’t subscribe to falling in line with the Democratic push for her to be the nominee,” said Scott Berry of Olympia, one of the founding members of the grass-roots group Washington for Bernie Sanders.

Berry, who owns a web development company, said he might vote for a third-party candidate such as the Green Party’s Jill Stein, though he hasn’t settled on that yet.

“I think it boils down to the need to draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough,” Berry, 36, wrote in an email. “We can’t support the lesser of two evils forever; you are still electing evil.”

Danyell Dahn, 41, said she was disappointed to hear Sanders had endorsed Clinton. “My thought literally was, ‘Ew,’ ” said Dahn, a high school teacher from Forks who supported Sanders at Washington’s caucuses.

Dahn said she disagrees with Clinton’s support of “neoliberal trade policies,” as well as Clinton’s foreign policy positions, describing her as a “warhawk.”

“It really made it so now Jill Stein gets my throwaway vote, because there’s no way I can vote for either of the other two,” Dahn said, referring to Clinton and Trump.

WE CAN’T SUPPORT THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS FOREVER; YOU ARE STILL ELECTING EVIL.
Scott Berry, Sanders supporter from Olympia who says he can’t support Hillary Clinton

Others worried Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton sends the wrong message that the progressive movement he led is over.

“By him endorsing Hillary, it can sound like, ‘oh, our work is done,’ and it’s not at all. It’s definitely just beginning,” said Gina Voladora, a single mom from Bremerton.

Would appear as of now in the Swing States Johnson and Stein maybe more harmful to Clinton than Trump.

:lol:
Christopher Stevens requested additional support (funding, security, infrastructure) in Benghazi multiple times and was denied by Clinton. When his shoddy post was finally overrun, immediate security response was denied (maybe not directly by HRC, but she certainly didn't pound any tables to make anything happen for Stevens and Co), and then a completely fictitious scenario was hatched to attempt to cover herself and her President during a reelection bid.

I'm going to have to raise Chris Steven's corpse's right arm when you ask who thinks she's a traitor.

Clinton’s lead over Trump shrinks dramatically
Highlights
It’s the first time she’s dropped below 50 percent support
Clinton up 3 points against only Trump, by 5 in 4-way contest
The email controversy is taking a toll on Clinton.."

Why would you when you can just go to the liquor store instead of Kentucky?

My mom is from Louisville. Visited family there a few times. I never once left wondering how soon we could come back again.
