Gary johnson has no chance to win the election so his opinion on the 2nd Amendment is meaningless when hillary is appointing the next SC judge

You see.... somehow Trump managed to get the NRA's Endorsement.
And at a rally just yesterday said we need to protect and defend the 2nd amendment........

Maybe he was lying in 2012 when he said this:

https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/280754630047199232

Or maybe he's lying now to get your vote.

The man is, after all, a prolific liar.

Some of us know what he's been saying about guns for years.

Some of us know how he really feels about the issue.

Some of us are too smart to believe he "evolved" on the issue at the age of 66.

Some of us won't be the least bit surprised if he gets elected his stance on guns that he's had for decades comes shining through.

What do I care if either Hillary or Trump appoints the next Supreme Court Judges? Roll the dice; it's just 50/50. One criminal or the other criminal. And you support that.

I choose to vote my conscience.

If people didn't vote for the "lesser of two evils" every election because they are so scared of wasting votes then we'd probably never see a dem or republican as president again.

No.

One will look in vain for a liberal who can state Trump's policy positions accurately. All they can talk about is a straw man they've created.

So they are not making an informed choice when they vote for Hillary.

As for Hillary's policy positions, who can say what they really are? She lies about everything. There's no telling what we will actually get if she wins. About the best that anyone can say is that she will be likely to continue as she's been doing -- selling us out to moneyed foreign interests and crony capitalists.

On the one hand we'd have this boob who is stymied at every turn by the Washington elites he despises, and on the other we'd have the insider who cares nothing about us or the country, who may or may not have this laundry list of fossilized old leftist policies she'd like to see enacted, the sort that most leftist regimes have to resort of coercion and violence to enact, the sort that most of us grew out of in our freshman year in college.

There won't be a good outcome to this election.

I don't see this election as a lesser of two evils situation. It's a "pick your poison" election.

"If" is a big word

The practical result of this election is either trump or hillary in the white house.

Voting for gary johnson will not change that

Foe everyone who is not a barking-at-the-moon liberal/progressive trump is a better choice than hillary

Its as simple as that

Same thing. If people voted only for a candidate they truly believed would be a great leader for our country, and if people could see lies and BS for what they are, then a 3rd (or maybe 5th) party candidate would be running away with this. But people dont vote for the best candidate. They vote out of fear because America is an ignorant and scared nation with no back bone.

As soon as it was Hillary v. Trump, it was never going to be about the issues. Not that most Presidential election campaigns are about issues, they're mostly just talking points and how the other side sucks. But with H v T, it was going to be about how the other side sucks times a billion. Neither candidate is a candidate of substance and integrity, so all they have is mud slinging.

It's been embarrassing. I'd hope we'd never do this sort of lowest common denominator, reality TV trash election again; but I won't hold my breath on that account.

Their reasoning is... Well, if a lot of other people are voting for this guy, then I should too. Because I'll really make a difference if I keep doing the same thing that has continued to break this country.

I can think of some words like "sheep" or "lemmings" to describe this mindset.

And it IS embarrassing. The English already think we're idiots, and they keep up with our politics. The whole world keeps up with our politics.

And then we do this ****. It's ****ing embarrassing as hell.

I always find it odd that the English look down on us when their government and country are completely ****ed. They say we're fat, yet do you see any photos of those fat bastards? The English are fat as hell.

But the English tend to think that if you're not English, you're stupid. And they even think that about their fellow Brits. I can't imagine why the Scots, Welsh, and Northern Irish tend to despise the English. I, in fact, love the English, but they can be the biggest arrogant assholes.

But I digress.

Another country's stupidity doesn't excuse or own. American's goal shouldn't be to not be as dumb as others.

Come on you can't honestly say that the English are as fat as the Americans. America has from far the highest obesity level in the world, it is common knowledge. Also the bastards are more likely to be americans... 10 generations ago you were all europeans.

And not only the english look down on Americans but the biggest part of Europe.

This election has hardly been about issues at all.

There have been alot of false promises about a bunch of **** neither one can deliver under their own power (they require congress to do most of the work they claim they want to do ).... sure.

But most of this election has been a bunch of mud slinging personal character attacking bull****.

Hillary has pulled the typical Democrat character assassination stunts that all Democrats do.. you know "My opponent is racist, sexist, islamaphobic, homophobic, blah-aphobic, this "ist", that "ist", and he rates woman on a scale (like what ****ing man has never done that... oh wait... conveniently every democrat pretends to have never done that before)".

Trump has run around calling her Crooked Hillary and keeps telling us "Its gonna be great.... Believe me" "I know more about anything than anyone on the planet... believe me!"



Its been pathetic.

However, since I have to choose one.... I think i'll choose the one who doesn't want to take a giant dump right on the 2nd amendment.
