Nice jab son.

But the fact of the matter is I think that closing the borders is in fact the best thing for all lower socioeconomic classes by lessening the wealth transfer from the working poor to the ownership classes. Incidentally this would most positively affect hispanic and black laborers. So every time NYT or TG calls me a racist for supporting Trump I kind of wonder why they aren't talking about his policies.

The fact of the matter is that Trump says he wants to chat with Putin. Hillary is dead set on a no fly zone in a country where the standing government has asked Russia to fly. I generally consider war to be the shittier option and have absolutely no problem negotiating with other world powers instead of unilaterally flexing military might in countries we were never invited to. No amount of syrian children pictures is going to make me think another regime overthrow is magically going to end up better than Iraq and Libya.

The fact of the matter is that Obamacare is a proven disaster, even NYT covers how absurdly expensive it is. We should try something new and opening competition seems like a good start. No amount of articles about how backwards we are for not having universal healthcare is going to change the 4000$ copays.

The fact of the matter is that tax loopholes are a thing. Trump uses them and says he uses them. He's going to raise tax rates, and theoretically close tax loopholes. That makes more sense to me than leaving billionaire loopholes open and raising the taxes on the top 5% earners... ie. doctors and engineers.

If someone wants to sway my vote they can try using numbers and analyses and facts instead of shoving some pussy grabbing video in my face because, any honest individual will admit they've heard worse talk at basically any college party. These media organizations are the ones dropping the level of discourse to name calling and voter shaming and I'm furious at them for not addressing the actual points and just comparing someone to Hitler.

Not at the college parties I've been to. Nor in the lockerrooms I've been in. If people do say worse things then they are also bragging about sexual assault just like Trump was.
