YES
This question was burned into my memory and propelled me to examine everything I believed in and it turned me into the deplorable I am today.
Go Trump.
That's a lot of votes.
Awesome post! All the best to you!
Albion, you and nikos1112, have worked unbelievably hard to inform us about Trump threads. Without all those pings, I would have missed reading majority of the material. So kudos to you both.
I agree, the democrats have become experts in voter fraud. I noticed it first hand in Chicago during JFK-Nixon election in 1960. Without the fraud in Cook county & Chicago, Nixon would have won the electoral college in 1960. I am 100% certain there will be monster voter fraud again in 2016. Add to that the 47% of Americans receiving gov’t benefits of one form or another. Big majority of those voters will vote democrat. IMHO Trump is the only candidate among the 17 who ran, who has a chance to overcome the odds and win. Cruz, Bush, Kasich etc could never have won. I think Trump has a solid chance to win on Tuesday. If everyone of us Trump supporters can encourage one extra friend/relative to go and vote, that could do the trick.
The deplorable me also has a masters degree in engineering and have proudly mailed in my vote for the Trump ticket. Since I was born in India, Trump can claim to have support from many nationalities.
well, my family is voting for Trump and we are all college educated.
Arrogance is the attitude that we are dealing with here.
Refusal to accept any criticism with humility. Our fore fathers established this country based on a classless society where every one is equal in value and we all can pursue our dreams. It is not surprising that this group of arrogant &*$^’s think that they can change our religious beliefs to match their hedonistic values; to force people of faith to pay for things that are against their deepest faith beliefs [Little Sist4er of the Poor].
The Clinton cabal can go to Hades as far as I am concerned. That is where they are headed anyway/ may as well happen in Tuesday.
Thank you for sharing your story. I felt things start to come apart in 2006, couldn’t explain why, everything just felt wrong. I’ve been waiting for things to swing back as the pendulum usually does. I hope this is it.
I’m with you, been praying for mercy a lot lately. I and the people are care for are far from perfect but I know us all to be honest and decent. I pray for their mercy as well as my own.
And also to you!
Electing Trump would be just the beginning. It's going to take a long time to drain the swamp. But if anyone can do it, he can. Bless you!
What kind words, entropy12, thank you!
I agree with your assessment; Trump is the only one of all those talented Republican candidates who can win. This is because of the things he is criticized for — his brashness, his macho male attitudes, and his frank language. Most GOP men shrivel and hide if anyone accuses them of something negative. It’s vanity. Trump just says, “So what. Twenty trillion in debt!”
And yes, Indian people are found in every state in the U.S., and many are Trump supporters, unlike the last two elections—especially the educated, which most Asian Indians in the U.S. strive to be, in my observation.
I will definitely be praying over the next three days.
Albion Wilde, you sound like a really amazing person.
God bless you and your family. Hope to talk to you soon.
take care, Julie
I am getting so fed up with my eyesight. Put the glasses on to watch TV, then take them off to read the newspaper... So irritating!
As they say, “Youth is wasted on the young.”. LOL!
I would so much love to have the knowledge and experience that I have now at 54, when I was 20! :)
I guess it’s God’s plan.
I hear ya.
I got contacts and really love them. When I’m using them, even thing is okay. My contacts ran out a while back, and I’m using my glasses that were set up to take them into consideration.
Can’t buy more contacts until I have a new exam, and I haven’t bothered. Oops.
Soon...
I have a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. I’m voting for Trump. People who claim “my side is smarter than you” are not intelligent. They’re just holding on to their ignorance more stubbornly.
Ask my mom — she’ll tell you different! LOL!
Blessings to you and yours, proud American in Canada!
What wouldn’t I give to be 54 again...
Typical elitist thinks anyone who doesn't adhere to HIS line of thinking MUST be a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.
THIS white, college educated woman is voting with her lady smarts, for Trump.
He’s at least partially correct.
As Stefan Molyneux says “Hillary appeals to two groups: low intellect and high indoctrination.”
“The less indoctrinated are voting TRUMP!”
Put another way: independent minded folks who puke at the sight of group think naturally reject coercive peer pressure.
The liberal disease inflicted only feel good when they think what they are told.
“Engineers actually have to learn how to think.”
...in the abstract.
The best engineers have both sides firing.
I’ve got a couple post-grad degrees and I think Clinton is totally corrupt. It’s a fact and not an opinion.
