2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

[Gryffes]

Hillary should do excellent with the troops, after all she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire.
Trump just doesn't have that kind of under fire experience.

[Dimmauk]

The only thing Trump learned from Intel briefings were that they don't like Obama based on body language. WTF LOL

[Xno Kappa]

Trump is a clueless idiot about UCMJ and the court martial system.

[Krandor]

How do military people feel about Trump dodging the draft due to affluenca of the heel?

At least for current military I doubt any care, veterans around when we had a draft would possibly be annoyed by it. But I mean, alot of people dodged the draft so I don't think it's as big a deal as some people would like to think.

How do they feel about a civilian talking shit about their generals, veterans, POWs, and gold star families?

There's no defense for this one other then covering one's ears and shouting "lalalalala." Which is how most of the Trump supporters at work treated that entire feud with the Khan family since he looked like an idiot thru the entire thing.

A huge segment of the US Armed Forces are Conservatives/Republicans, and he has the (R) next to his name.

Seems pretty simple to me.

The large majority of people in my company are voting Trump. Few are true Trumpers and are really just voting for him to avoid a Clinton presidency.

The email scandal/perception that she is either highly incompetent or a pathelogical liar is what hurt her the most here as the people I work with all hold security clearances (with our ncoic and commander holding TS). Throw in the fact that the military as a whole has always leaned Republican and it's not too much of a shocker.

Fuck this enabling, incompetent facsimile of a journalist. Absolute ignorance is now a presidential standard.

Which part though? I thought I had seen that while those in the upper part of the hierarchy tend to be Republicans, your average grunt is more likely to be a Democrat.

with the sole exception of a very jewish and very liberal friend i made at the end of my military career, never met anyone while i was active, for 7 years, that wasn't a republican. 4 years infantry, 3 years MEDDAC.

[archibaldcrane]

I assume most of the blax in the military are democrats though.

[Krandor]

From my own personal experiences, nope.

[arus2001]

Yeah, most military folks I know seem to carry the R, too. It's made some gatherings within the past 8 years pretty lulzy since they're basically walking "Thanks, Obama!" memes.

[Gryffes]

Can Hillary not do a simple interview without her coaching team?

At least conservative radio can't complain about the lamestream drive by media being biased. LOL who am I kidding, they probably will still blame them for trump looking so bad. Actually, I bet they barely talk about trump, and just attack hillary all day.

[thetruepandagod]

HA!

[Krandor]

Pretty much. At least in the dark corners of the internet (which will spread to the conservative talking heads sometime late today) it's all about Hillary's earpiece.

[Quicklet]

HA!

I stand by my statement that Johnson getting onto the debate stage is the worst thing that could happen to him. Other than that response he just gave.

Him shopping himself into the 2012 debates and answering all the questions with romney/obama is probably the worst thing I have ever seen.

Jill Stein, the Green Party's candidate for president, is facing charges of vandalism and trespassing at a North Dakota construction site.

According to the Bismarck Tribune, Stein was caught on camera spray painting construction equipment during the protest of a Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Morton County Sheriff's Department issued arrest warrants for both Stein and her running mate, Ajamu Baraka, on Wednesday afternoon, charging the pair with criminal trespass and criminal mischief.

Stein and Baraka are accused of spray painting "I approve this message" and "We need decolonization" on construction equipment.
