We do this every four years. "We need change". Why? Unemployment has been dropped in half. The US poverty rate is falling. Income is up. What more do you want?

Oh, the deficit is up. WTF did you expect? The last administration left us in a massive recession. But clearly the next Republican administration will fix it, right? Just like the last administration, right? Bullshit - This is what they say every four years. They complain about the deficit, promise to fix it, and never fix it.

Clearly what we need is someone with no experience.
Look at incomes again. Then look at what jobs have been created.

Bill Clinton created the bubble that burst.

But you're right you do this every four years and those with the richest backers get in time after time. And there's why the richest are the only ones to see their incomes rise over the last 20 years.

What the US needs is people not on the leash of billionaires. How much did the people like the Koch Brothers and big banks donate this time?

This is the last time I'm going to stake out my position to you and I will try to present it as clearly as I possibly can.

People are massively dissatisfied with their government. Most want massive change at any cost. The only candidate that represent any change what-so-ever is Donald Trump

Policy DOES NOT MATTER. Logic DOES NOT MATTER. EVERYTHING YOU'RE CONVINCED MATTERS COULD NOT MATTER LESS. Only the dismantling of the current political order does. The people are just about pissed off enough to get what they want.... for better or worse. This is why I'm convinced Trump is headed for a win.

Again.. NOTHING YOU THINK MATTERS DOES.

IMO, OP
100% spot on. The only thing that will bring change is voters not voting for the same again. Clinton is the same again.
