Gosh hard to say. I got burned w/ thinking that Mitt Romney was gonna pull it off - and felt a bit mad at the conservatives sites for making it seem like it was really going to happen.


Me too. I became upset at this place just being an echo chamber. Every FREEPER might be voting Trump but that isn’t enough. I’m surrounded by people who don’t understand who / what Hillary is.

I will be making sure people at the polls know who clinton is by wearing my Clinton ‘RAPE’ shirt. also bringing my mop which symbolizes cleaning up the disgusting cesspool that is the illegal population. Trust me, if i see a single illegal at my polling place they will be getting the mop.

Yeah I find myself asking “do they just not care”? I’ve lived in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Argentina. My M.A. is in Latin American Studies, and I did my thesis on why I thought Mexico’s political culture would have to change drastically for it to ever become truly ‘democratic’. I wrote extensively about the corruption, narcos, and political cynicism as the main problems (with a few others).

Undoubtedly, what I wrote nearly 20 years ago has held true.

The people who would vote for Hillary are much like the people in Latin America that have continued to elect corrupt kleptocrats. I mean the people of Argentina loved Eva Peron!! She ripped that country off to the tune of like 900 million U.S. dollars - it was mind boggling.

But you see it all over Latin America - they have such high levels of political cynicism; they assume ‘everybody’ is corrupt - even if occasionally one comes along that isn’t. So the only answer I come up with is that Americans have gone down the road of Banana Republic’ism - where they truly think every one of these politicians is corrupt anyway.

It’s a shame, and it will be the ruination of this country.
