If Donald Trump is too dangerous and unstable to lead our nation..?

Then what can we say about his supporters?

Can they ever be trusted?

Is there anyone, other than Trump supporters, that is not terribly concerned about the direction Donald Trump and his supporters have taken this country?

They have debased everything that we appreciate and hold close as Americans. We are deeply disturbed by the hate, the anger, and the crudeness of these people.

We are left with only two choices: We can fight them with anger and hate and violence, or we can fight them at the polls. There is no other option.

All Americans need to realize what is at stake in this election. If you don't vote, don't complain.

They certainly can't be trusted with guns. Their guns need to be taken away from them. stone space Nov 2016 #2

Things, like the Iraq war and starving children to protect profits.
Their party nominating trump is a bridge too far. Who in the hell votes for a guy who says he grabs women's p&$&y to be POTUS? He should be in prison not running a campaign. I have been dissolussioned in a big way. I knew there were so many horrendous people in this country but not to this extent. I can truly understand how Hitler happened. I'm starting to believe it could absolutely happen here.

One of Trump's supporters just murdered two police officers 30 miles from here.





Once again, the Death Cult of Gundamentalism reaches out and touches Iowa.

and the thought of Trump handling complex diplomatic relations with foreign nations is the aspect of a trump presidency that, by FAR, is the biggest factor that keeps me up at night.

Obama and Hillary have done an outstanding job of improving our image and relations with foreign entities around the globe in the wake of the Bush/Cheney debacle, and the last thing we need is some freaking idiot blowhard who has zero foreign relations knowledge and not one iota of diplomatic skills to undo all of that progress by running roughshod over any nation he pleases and act as if bullying foreign countries to try to bow to his will is the proper way to administer foreign relations. We have tepid fragile relations with countries whose cooperation is critical to fighting terrorism, and the best way to screw all of that up is to elect Donald freaking trump.
