8 reasons why Donald Trump would NOT get my vote

[Idontkissandtell]

1. He does not know how to talk to people.

https://nypost.com/2010/11/02/fired-losers-lash-sexist-trump/

On his show Celebrity Apprentice, he is seen berating men and women. Behind the scenes, he has been accused of much worse. Several women have brought up the fact that he has sexually harassed them off camera.

2. We have seen this dog show before.

https://www.cnn.com/2015/06/16/politics/donald-trump-2016-announcement-elections/

Trump is one trick pony. How can we possibly take him seriously as a candidate? He has pretended to run in 1987, 1999, again in 2004, 2008 and most recently in 2011.

3. He says our country needs saving while benefiting all it has to offer.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2011/04/29/fourth-times-a-charm-how-donald-trump-made-bankruptcy-work-for-him/

Tell me, in what country could you wipe out your debt 4 times? Trump filed only taking a financial hit the first time. We are unique because we give people a chance to correct their mistakes and rebuild. Trump uses bankruptcy as a get out of jail free card. That I am sure is not how it was intended on being used.

4. He has the audacity to put down a whole country in his speech.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/16/donald-trump-mexico-presidential-speech-latino-hispanic

"[Mexico] are sending people that have lots of problems, and they are bringing problems to us. They are bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and they're rapist."

5. Millennials do not take him seriously.

https://mobile.twitter.com/trumpthevote16

The fact that he thinks he can appeal to us is hilarious. Trump is a joke to most Millennials. They look to him as a CLOWN. One that is easy to mock. Trump's run for president will be a joke.

6. Trump is a meta troll.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/27/obama-birth-certificate-r_n_854248.html

Somehow, Donald Trump, summoning up all his wisdom, decided to make an issue out of Obama's birthplace. Of all these things to tear into Obama about, his birthplace should not be one of them. The fact this issue lasted more than a year shows the power of the American Troll Donald Trump.

7. In his announcement speech, he boasted about his wealth with false document.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/erincarlyle/2015/06/16/trump-exaggerating-his-net-worth-by-100-in-presidential-bid/

If you use the excellent power of Google, you can easily discern that Forbes puts Trump's net worth at 4.1 billion, very different from the 9 billion he claimed Tuesday, why would he lie about his wealth? Millions of people need jobs. Who wants to hear about his perceived wealth?

8. A Donald Trump debate makes me wanna puke.

He has money and media influence to force the issue. We will be forced to imagine a reality in which Donald Trump is an actual presidential debate.

[vishna]

The fact that a lot of people likes him is sooooo disheartening. C'mon people, that guy?
He's an ass and an idiot.

[ThisDudeHere]

Or you could shorten it to one reason.
1) He's an idiot.

[Alexei_Ustinov]

So, who else are you gonna vote for? The traitor Hillary Clinton who should be in prison for doing what she's done? Or how about that socialist Bernie Sanders who advocates "healing capitalism with socialism". Socialism will never work in the United States, not no way, not no how. That's just not American culture! Sure you can argue socialism turned Russia into a super power, but that's Russia. Free market capitalism is what turned America into a world super power, and that's America. Different systems work in different countries with different cultures and traditions. Bernie advocates "Robin Hood" economics by taking from the rich to give to the poor. Well I say, give a man a fish he eats for a day, but teach a man how to fish he eats for the rest of his life! Bernie advocates all these wonderful social programs, but who is going to pay for all that? The answer is the American tax payer will through higher taxes. You can't give away something for free without taking from someone else. The Donald is also a Washington outsider who is very business savvy, he tells it as it is with no bullshit, he's politically incorrect, he wants to secure US borders and put the American people back to work! The Donald I feel is the man who can fix the broken USA right now. Or you could vote for a career politician who hasn't done anything to help you and is only out to serve their own selfish interests over that of the country.

[Eric644]

socialism will never work in the usa, I agree and that is why i do not support Bernie but facsism will never work here either and that is why im not voting for Trump. a criminal who should be in prison would not work either so i ain't voting hillary either. Kasich looks like a good candidate, he could actually win the election but unfortunately the GOP voters want a rabid alt-right candidate with fascistic beliefs. Oh well, there is always the Libertarian party

[OpenClose]

I would absolutely LOVE to have some cognitive dissonance in an election for once.

I remember feeling some between Obama and McCain. But there has just been so much absolute crazy-train that it's a matter of "OK, which democrat do I want to be president."

I mean, imagine an election between Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul. THAT is a stressful decision, there.

But right now, we have a choice between a dozen or so people who are preocuppied with how their fellow candidates look, some dems on the other side who are very forgettable, Clinton and all her controversey, and then there's Bernie Sanders.

I don't agree with many of Bernie's ideas.

Socialized healthcare? Makes sense by now.

$15 minimum wage? Might be reasonable in the urban areas of California, but where I live, that money goes very far. $9 or $10 might be more reasonable here. Specify an percentage, and let the states/counties determine their minimum wage.

But he has been consistent since the beginning. He is honest. He has great proof of concept in Vermont. Not only can he not be bought (nice thing about Trump, too), but he plans to actively eject monetary influence from Congress.

Oh, and he would be the first non-christian president, at least in a long time. That would be a massive shift.

[gotc147]

Uh... Socialized healthcare would cost fifteen TRILLION dollars to implement in the US.

And no, the rich won't be paying for it, the entire WORLD'S 1% has a combined *net worth* of about six trillion as of 2013.

[gotc147]

Most millennials are niiave and have no real-world experience and as a result vote for democrats because democrats are salesmen, whereas republicans are consultants. Once kids get into their 30s or so they look at their paycheck and say "hey, I'm not some rich old white guy!" After seeing the utterly ridiculous amount of money being taken from them to be given to people who do not work.

But then again, this up and coming generation doesn't think it needs to work... Or answer to authority... Or that the rules apply to them... We are headed for dark times indeed.

You want a real reason for not supporting Donald Trump? Because he's really a democrat, perhaps a moderate one, but a democrat.

[Idontkissandtell]

Democrats and Republicans? I've always worried about those two names

[Idontkissandtell]

Because I don't think everyone should live on welfare, but I do think everyone shouldn't be filthy rich. Me personal I'm not a person like " common people''.. but I don't represent a republican ether, I'm a person who speaks my mind on things.

[gotc147]

Believe me, I have my issues with Republicans, they have many flaws... However they are less flawed than Democrats and until a viable 3rd option rolls around I don't see that dynamic changing anytime soon.

[aliencreature]

The GOP right now is like putting Kim Kardashian, snookie, nicki Minaj and Stephen hawking in a room and asking them to debate black holes and calling it a fair fight. You want to debate the bill of rights or fiscal responsibility for freedom or Liberty or a sound foreign policy but there is only one in the room who knows what he's talking about and that is Rand Paul, he is the only one with a proven track record of voting for the right things on the right issues in the Senate, with a proven track record of actually understanding the issues at hand, but surrounded by a bunch of asshats don't know what the fuck they're talking about, his voice can only be occluded by the stupidity.
The entire government is quickly turning into idiocracy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn200lvmTZc

[RationalMale]

Trump is at, what, 32% of of the GOP vote? In other words, the right likes him more than the left likes Hillary.

He's serving a valuable purpose, even if he doesn't win. He's helping force the public to accept that whites, as a group, have political interests and have the right to look out for themselves and act in their own interests, which the left now shrilly decries as "racism!"

Funny they never had a problem with every other racial political group... do you see the left slamming the NAACP, or La Raza, for instance? Nope. Only whites are not allowed to say "Doing xyz are in my interests, and I support those political standpoints."

It's also funny, the double standard...

Black groups: "Whites and police murder is in the streets with impunity!" Liberals: "Yah, black rights! "

White groups: "We want to actually enforce immigration laws. Like they're actual laws." Liberals: "OMG, I can't even, the racism is hu."

[RationalMale]

you can't stop the Trumpening, @aliencreature

[RationalMale]

And racist? Oh, definitely. As racist as the people in the Congressional Black Caucus, or the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, or La Raza. :D

[aliencreature]

Yes, they are racist

[RationalMale]

it's simple reality, @aliencreature. Different racial groups have their own interests. Not to mention, different races have different physical abilities on average, different averages in intelligence testing, difference societies.

Pray tell. Why is it that the things liberals claim to love about American society only exist with caucasians? Can you think of any non-white equivalent of the USA, with equal freedom and civilization?

[Idontkissandtell]

Okay, but white people had more rights than black people before today. So are you trying to say that you feel that black people have more power than whites?

[RationalMale]

I think the double standard that some whites accept is both pathetic and hilarious. Why do we allow ourselves to be swayed against our own interests on threat of being called names?

[Idontkissandtell]

Im not white, Im black and Mexican. but um I dont know

[RationalMale]

Hence part of why you would not vote for Donald. He plans to enforce US immigration laws, and deport the mexicans living illegally in the usa. Mexican interests are to continue unabated immigration into this country.

[Idontkissandtell]

But everyone in the mexican part of my family are legal. Sooo I don't care.

[RationalMale]

Trump's mere *opinion* of Mexico is your reason number 4.

[Idontkissandtell]

And thats my opinion for other mexicans..

[Waffles731]

You are a pathetic excuse for an American, I accidentally upvoted you So one of those upvotes isn't real

[RationalMale]

@Waffles731

Then help persuade the other 3 people who upvoted me, haha.

What's pathetic about what I've stated? Show everyone watching the truth and light.

[Waffles731]

Persuade you people, You must be thinking of someone else, You fucks are a lost cause

[RationalMale]

@Waffles731

Why? Because I'm intelligent enough to state my positions and use facts to back it up, unlike you?

Why don't you go back to jerking off in the corner like the bitter little loser you are. :)

[Waffles731]

Stating your opinion is not the same thing as being intelligent, This guy bankrupted a casino,
Those companies he headed, they bankrupted pretty much as soon as the guy took over, 19 freaking bankrupt companies that are his fault He comes away clean from every one of them. The reason he makes money is because of idiots like you who fall the guys money that he never earned a penny of. This man has had everything in life handed to him on a silver platter. Tell me you really want to vote for a man who has never felt a consequence of his actions in his life. That sir is why you are NOT ITELLIGENT and really just a fucking moron.

[Waffles731]

Intelligent, and yes I am aware of the irony.

[RationalMale]

@Waffles731 I will vote for him partly because I believe he will recklessly carry out his positions.

So many politicians have to worry about the party, or they are just pandering for election. Trump's bold disregard indicates he likely will actually carry out his promises, which are hugely beneficial. His primary campaign push is to actually enforce immigration laws and secure the border. That alone will save thousands of lives and prevent tens of thousands of violent crimes that illegal immigrants carry out every year.

[Idontkissandtell]

chill out guys

[Waffles731]

Okay then figure this, the man has no understanding of consequence having never experienced one, do you really want to give that guy key to the nuclear missiles

[Idontkissandtell]

Oh hell nah.

[RationalMale]

A strawman, hysterical argument at best, @Waffles731

By that logic, for instance, Bernie Sanders should be forced out of the race. He gave up his own rally in Oregon to a few angry BLM people, and left his supporters to them. He'd probably refuse to defend the USA against military aggresion.

[Waffles731]

Its not a straw man, how many companies has he bankrupted after being put in charge only to get away scot free, the answer is nineteen, the reason he makes money, He licenses his name so suckers like you will pay him to understand business. I A. Do not want president who licenses his name. B. He really doesn't understand consequences. C. He wants to run the country like a ceo, Countries aren't companies they are very different things.

[RationalMale]

No candidate is perfect, lmao. Who are you supporting, pray tell?

[KHaskins]

He's the joke candidate this year. Frankly I think the reason he's getting so much attention from the press is because the press is unashamedly liberal (seriously, they don't even pretend to be objective anymore), and they know Trump is unelectable. They want him on the ticket because it guarantees victory for the Democratic candidate.

I honestly don't know who to vote for this year. I lean constitutional libertarian myself, which makes Bernie Sanders a definite no-no, and if anybody else had done half of what Hillary has done they'd be in federal prison. Carson lost me with some of his recent commentary and Fiorina sank the company my father used to work for. What real choices are there?

[drkrose99]

Well I feel that out of all of them, Hillary has the most experience in the white house considering she was the 1st lady for 8 years and then Secretary of State for another 8 years. She is elegant and poised when she speaks and looks like a true president out of all of them.

[drkrose99]

Also, I loved Bill Clinton during his term. Times were very good and peaceful back then so I have high hopes for his wife.

[ihatework]

if gary johnson runs on the libertarian ticket would you vote for him?

[zagor]

@drkrose99 Hillary is repugnant. All she does is parrot phrases that sound good to the primary electorate. "There is no such thing as an illegal human"; yeah that is a nice thought but she applies it to immigration law. The fact is there are 7 billion people and counting here on earth and we can't accommodate them all.

[Waffles731]

@drkrose99 Hilary isn't a liberal, she was the corporate lawyer for walmart

[Anonymous]

Many millenials believe whatever the liberal media and late night talk shows tell them to believe. When they get older and more independent, they begin to think for themselves. When they get older, they realize that tax and spend means spending their taxes; a liberal socialist agenda is always easier to advocate when you want to spend other people's money.

I am not surprised at anything that you said and I find it amusing.

[Curmudgeon]

He isn't my choice, there are 14 other Republicans running as of now. But if he helps to defeat the Demunists and crushes the Commiecrats, good on him. We did not defeat the Soviets abroad just to have a 5th column of them running and ruining the media, the presidency, the courts and academia.

From importing a larger lumpenproletariat underclass even when African American and Mexican American unemployment is sky high, to bashing businesses they don't like and rewarding corporate crony donors they do like with subsidies, this is among the most treasonous administration in history.

[jjmarvin]

Demunist and commiecrat are both portmanteaus of the same 2 words. You didn't have to say it twice.

You republicans and your buzzwords.

[JRICHARDS1996]

Apart from the Forbes articles, most of those "points" you made were unsubstantiated except by virtue of blogs and 3rd party sources notorious for a liberal bias. Instead of jumping on the political correctness bandwagon, you should really evaluate his goals, what he says, and whether or not you agree.

I wouldn't vote for Trump either unless it was either him or Hillary, but my reasons are different. I love how politically incorrect he is, but I cannot get over his lack of political experience. Dr. Carson has none either, but at least he seems willing to learn and admit he is not an expert whereas Trump speaks authoritatively about things he knows nothing about.

[godfatherfan]

you only need 1.
he is a POS republican.
and if he ran independent, Ross Perot showed people CEO's don't work. They are used to getting their way. What he says always goes. If he got elected, the Senate would just not do anything (as they have since the republicant's took control) just to show him who really runs things. he would whine and cry then quit.

[BusinessBasketball]

Watch these interview. He even said that Mexico has a blooming economy. The Next China. You know he is a really a Democrat. He likes the Clintons and Obama. He hates George Bush. He said he will not cut social security and health care.

[Krillanr]

I'm just tired of the fluff that has been fed to us by Obama's administration. For his flaws, Trump pays for his own crap, he's built his own business, and he tells it like it is.

In a country full of bull, I wouldn't mind seeing him in office for a at least a term, I don't see him hurting us worse than Obama has already.

[Idontkissandtell]

But everyone knows, you get blamed for things you didn't do in the office and you reward for things you didn't do. So I mean, hey, politics is annoying.

[Krillanr]

What?

[Waffles731]

Trump inherited a billion dollars, He hasn't earned his money, He has NEVER FACED A CONSEQUENCE IN HIS LIFE. HE BANKRUPTED HIS OWN CASINO

[Idontkissandtell]

Okay then vote for him, I don't care about the hillbilly. I mean he has a 4.1 billion net worth. He has enough fame, money, and publicity.

[steveguitar]

I'm from Canada, but I have seen a few of the party leaders in our country, and I have seen a few of your presidents. I must say that if you think Obama is doing badly then you are mistaken. and if you think that trump would not fuck your country up more than it has already been fucked with, then you are in for a nightmare.

Obama got stuck with all of the shit George bush stirred up, and then cam along Isis and all that stuff. but he is trying to make your country better. he developed Obama care, the name sucks but its a step up from what you had.

do your country a favour and vote for parties that are on the left side of the political spectrum.

[Waffles731]

@steveguitar You do realize that the second worst canidate ted cruz was born in freaking calgary

[Krillanr]

@steveguitar If you want to discuss it, we'll discuss it. If you want to rant at me, piss off.

[sluggognatface]

If your father gave you two Manhattan prime properties and 200 million not counting certain savings, cd's and savings bonds you would consider yourself having built your own business?

[Krillanr]

@sluggognatface @Waffles731 @steveguitar @Idontkissandtell

Does Trumps company still exist? If so, then he built it. He may not have founded it, but it is still operating, that takes skill.

I gave my piece, if I am wrong then so be it, I am not infallible. But unless someone wants to discuss this in a reasonable, respectful way, I am done. Take care.

[sluggognatface]

No reason to swear or insult. The truth is Trump easily could have been bankrupt 4 times, he has had the Clintons at his wedding, he has been in business with some shady people, he talks about jobs overseas yet has his products made overseas. Not sure how Trump is knowledgeable about any foreign policy and it is not feasible economically for Republicans that want lower spending to spend 15 to 22 trillion on a wall that would make any difference.

[pavlove]

"... He didn't offer any solutions, he just said outrageous things... We thought it was funny... By the time we finally like ok, ok, time to get serious, who's really gonna be president he was already being sworn into office... it was too late! We weren't paying attention... WE WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION!!!"

You're my favorite female if you know what this ^ is from.

[MaskedSanity]

South Park.

[Idontkissandtell]

Im not your favorite female then lol

[pavlove]

lol nope she is. you should watch that episode about trump though it's really funny

[Eric644]

lol, it was hilarious, hope it will come true though lol

[Eric644]

we need a mr garrison lol

[Anonymous]

9. He and Hillary are secretly conspiring reason.com/.../bill-clinton-on-donald-trump-he-supporte

[Idontkissandtell]

thats another reason

[Anonymous]

Trump is just as fake and slimy as any other politician. Unlike his opponents, though, he actually has the guts to tell people what he really thinks instead of what he thinks everyone wants to hear. That being said, I won't vote for Trump in 2016 -- or anyone else. I haven't voted in years; there's nobody worth voting for.

[Eric644]

thank you!!! ill be voting Libertarian

[Anonymous]

Donald Trump is a joke and the election is a year and one month a way. With all the stupid things he's said about Mexicans (they make up a huge voting population) he'll be gone before the July 2016.

[Anonymous]

I think one thing people struggle with Donald Trump is a guy like him with no liberal filter stands out. He says what he thinks bluntly and people can't handle that. .. or you could base your career of a screen prompter, build up more debt than all previous presidents have put together and have nothing to show for it except a reelection like Obama received

[echoaj]

Trump is so terrible. It boggles my mind that people would vote for him. I didn't know most republicans where that crazy. He honestly sounds like hitler

[Eric644]

he will lose badly come novermber, i know many Republicans that say they will be voting agaisnt him

[echoaj]

@Eric644 Yep ur right and that's good

[orphan]

trump has a few refreshing qualities you won't find in other canidates. the fact he's self funded allows him to speak (too) freely on how he feels, and what he would do. many americans feel the same way he does on the current issues which are plaguing our country.

everyday americans are whining about being bullshitted and kept in the dark. people want the raw truth. donald trump is what that truth sounds like.

unfortunately his plans to rectify the issues aren't reasonable.

[Surfofthenomad]

Except Donald Trump has no content in anything he says, bigots love him because he's not "politically correct", that's about it.

[aliencreature]

@Surfofthenomad he's not correct about anything politically or otherwise

[orphan]

@aliencreature false

[Pinkbeauty]

I herd Donald trump say that he would make America great again and he said he would never for get about people doing and if those things are true I'm voting for him but if those things aren't true then I'm voting for ether Jeb bush or Ted Cruz

[sluggognatface]

Yes we need another Bush to start more wars and be shittier to the poor while giving more tax breaks, corporate welfare out to the mega rich. Ted Cruz is bought and paid for also. Evil men the both of them.

[OpenClose]

You can't just say "you'll fix everything" and "make America great again" and have it hold any merit whatsoever. You have to have a plan. Thus far, Trump's most detailed plan is to create the great wall of 'murica.

I mean, the guy also says "He'll be the best jobs president ever!"

[Pinkbeauty]

@OpenClose I never said that he would fix everything I said that I'm only voting for trump because he said he make America great again and he said he would never for get about people doing and that's why I'm gonna probably vote for him but if not then I would probably vote for Ted Cruz or Jeb bush or Ben Carson

[OpenClose]

Yeah, I get that.

The problem is that anyone can just go up and say "I will end poverty" or "I will create millions of jobs". That isn't hard.

What they need is a plan. It's not the result people vote on. Everyone wants to make America better. What we vote on is the METHODS of making America better.

For instance, which is better? Do you let medical care run with untethered capitalism in hopes that competition will drive costs down? Or do you socialize the system to prevent excessive price hikes due to inflexible demand?

Either party, in this case, can say "I will be the best at making healthcare good!"

Don't ask "will you make America great?", ask "HOW will you make America great?"

[Pinkbeauty]

@OpenClose oh I see what your saying now and what about Ben Carson what do u think of him?

[OpenClose]

I don't mind Ben Carson all that much compared to many of the other candidates. There are a few things I don't really tolerate, like a Neurosurgeon thinking evolution is sham. And he has said his share of stupid stuff. But where I am now, I would like to see him and Bernie as our two candidates.

[OpenClose]

Actually, Ideally I would have had Ron Paul v. Bernie Sanders in the general election. I would be biting my nails all year between them two. Two totally different philosophies and both of whom I respect.

[Idontkissandtell]

Am I still figuring why I put this post on here because it's turning to a freaking rage with the men !

[Pinkbeauty]

mytake owner that's what Iv noticed too

[Idontkissandtell]

guys are more interested in politics unlike women

[Pinkbeauty]

oh I see
