This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Here's a reference to where the candidates stand on the issues

THE ISSUES: Abortion | Climate Change | Criminal Justice | Immigration | Iran/ISIS | Marijuana

where are the real topics
like a balanced budget
like whether or not we are going to continue to be the worlds police force
like who is going to turn around social security and medicare
like what are we going to do about health care costs in this country
you know...the stuff that actually is important....not some crap that the media thinks we should mark a ballot for

American politics is not about the issues. It's about mudslinging, stump speeches, and avoiding anything of substance.

ROFL
Donald Trump
Donald Trump has said global warming is a hoax created by the Chinese so that the United States would not be competitive in manufacturing, a contention scientists scoff at.
The billionaire reality TV star also has criticized the Obama administration for “the billions it pissed away” investing in failed green energy projects.
On numerous occasions, Trump has brought up the persistence of temperate zone seasons as an argument against the existence of climate change.
“It’s snowing & freezing in NYC. What the hell ever happened to global warming?” he tweeted in March 2013.

Yes, OTI is my go-to site.
Extremely deep & detailed, well cross-referenced, and linking to the candidate's own words - in context.
An Amazing site!

While a bit on the simplistic side, OTI is an excellent entry point for getting a snapshot of the various candidates' positions, and I reference it frequently. While significantly more tedious than OTI, votesmart.org is better for understanding where the candidates' words and actions coincide (or collide).
