Trump takes poll lead as Democratic Party convention descends into chaos

[lawrawrrr]

I mean if you'd trust Trump with the nuclear button and America's military at the flip of a switch then good for you. His own biographers say that they think he'd quite happily launch WW3 or use the US' nuclear weapons and I genuinely don't think he has the brain power to realise what effects that would have...

I haven't said I would vote for Trump, but I would certainly take him over her. He's warned against baiting Russia into a confrontation like Clinton has.

But you want to give Clinton the nuclear weapons too, a dangerous woman who has already had her finger on the weapons buttons as Secretary of State when she bombed the living daylights out of Libya and Syria resulting in a Hitler-like formation of an Islamic State and frequent terrorist attacks across Europe.

But the celebrities, like with Brexit, say Hillary is hip and cool and the GOP are nasty so I guess back her. None of this is done with any thought: it's like how Hated George W Bush was over Iraq (rightly) yet those on the left like yourself all adore Obama who makes Bush look like a pragmatist when it comes to war.

I think Hillary wouldn't throw a temper tantrum over all Muslims and hit the trigger without very careful consideration and counsel, which is something Trump seems totally capable - and likely - to do. The GOP isn't inherently nasty, but Trump absolutely is.

I do like how you're blaming Clinton for ISIS forming though that's quite the thought process! I don't think she's totes hip and cool but she does have some great policies and platforms in her campaign that actually make SENSE and the fact she's sworn to work with Sanders on his free education policy I think is a wonderful thing for America.

On policies alone I probably support Sanders more than Clinton to be perfectly honest but the thought of Trump in power scares me - even not as an American - and the lengths some of his supporters go to to bully GOP voters or actually ignore/excuse Trump's behaviour (why is noone up in arms about all the cases he's had about unfair dismissals and fraud and treating workers badly while he proclaims to be the champion of the working people) is just a bit baffling to me?

None of this is actually logical argument, it's just you assuming that somebody who points out the huge problems in Islam is therefore against all muslims and wants to nuke them. Where has this thought process come from? You're inventing things in your mind and attributing them to him.

I supported Senator Rand Paul but I see no evidence of the extraordinary claims (a nuclear holocaust) you're making against Trump here.

Clinton didn't cause Islamic State in the ideology but she did help create the vaccum in which they are thriving. Everybody with a brain knew bombing Libya wouldn't result in a liberal democracy with a McDonalds on every corner. It resulted in even worse lunatics than the Colonel taking over. And the same applies to Syria, which she *still* wants to bomb the living daylights out of when Assad is the only reasonable actor in the game.

Now how can you say somebody wanting to bring down the Assad regime and who wants a confrontation with Russia 'makes sense'?

Sanders is virtually a communist like Corbyn. AT LEAST Trump has provided jobs for working people, what have Hillary and Bernie done?

Classic student politics and promising everything for free to students who'll believe anything. Result? Venezuela. Britain 1970s. Chile 1970s.
