Trump says "I hear you"? Do you mean that sarcastically or did I miss something recent where he actually that acknowledged that?

Devon Anderson trump sat down with students who were in school shootings and he had a pamphlet in his hands which keen eyed people saw that it was a check list of what he should say. One of those was "I hear you".

It is sad that the real debate is over whose lies are "better." However, I'd rather have someone who is going to be predictable in the way they are going to run the country than someone who frequently changes their statements and is planning to let their V.P. run everything. I also don't want someone who is more focused on publicity than actually getting things done for this country.

[@har112myself]

Every vote for Jill Stein is in reality a vote for Donald Trump. This fact is one of the things I hate about the two party system that The United States has forged. No third party candidate has a chance unless one of the main two candidates dies the week before the election.

[@johnnyappleseed4279]

+demomanchaos Well I wouldn't use the word "missing" since the whereabouts are known. The emails, or atleast most of them, were recovered on March 2016, a year prior to the beginning of this situation, and you can find them on google if you feel so keen on creating a scandal.

[@demomanchaos]

Dreigonix After Billy had a private talk with the US Attorney General promising her that she could keep her position if she got the charges dropped. The FBI director outside said she was guilty but tried to say that she didn't mean it therefore it is okay as his reason for dropping the charges. Her outright lying under oath (a federal offense), criminal negligence, and all that fun stuff were just brushed under the rug. Bitch should be locked up, but "too big to fail" applies to banks and corrupt cunts riding the coattails of their husband (Who had some other chick riding him on the side) and committing every kind of fraud imaginable to feed her lust for power. Nikhil Kulkarni Tax returns and 30,000 emails which are among a large collection of emails on an illegal private server which contained classified information are two different things there bub. He's a politician, business man, and reality TV show actor. You shouldn't expect him to be nice to people who are attacking him. Because of his toupee, obviously Why do you gloss over Hilary's when pointing out Trump's? It is because Trump's faults aren't my topic just like Clinton's wasn't yours. If we wanted to talk about faults, we could ask how Trump is racist for wanting a wall on the soutehrn border but Hilary wanted a "fence" doesn't seem to make her a racist (I guess a "fence" and a "wall" are two TOTALLY different things aren't they)? We could ask why Hilary is taking in millions from countries where homosexuality is literally illegal and punishable by prison time (or even death)? There is a lot of things we could ask, but yet no one does because she has a vagina (and Victoria Woodhull would really appreciate it if the Clinton cucks would stop claiming Shilary is the first female presidential candidate, Victoria did it in the 1870's so over 140 years before HiLIARy came around).

[@babybirdhome]

Are you only counting American Muslims? Or Muslims in general? Because there have been tens of thousands of Muslims who've died for the U.S.'s goals, while only thousands of American non-Muslims have done the same in modern times. Tell me the number of Muslims who died fighting to liberate Iraq because the U.S. invaded and executed its leader and deposed its other leadership, giving rise to ISIS which is now killing even more Muslims than ever before all because of American imperialism. You'll find that the numbers don't really compare.

I suppose it would be the same, only without the comfort of being able to tell myself it won't happen, that it's unlikely, or that I have plenty of years left together with the cherished people in my life... because she had lost her son already, and that's not going to change.

[@strickerx5]

It's the trump supporters in a hard state of denial. I mean, after all of this (especially the last week) you'd have to be to even think about supporting him. I've been saying this for months now but I still can't find one level headed supporter of the guy. I guess it really just speaks to the overall education of this country sadly. And before one of them gets on me about supporting Hilary let me say this. I don't like her. In fact, I'm pretty mad that she managed to beat out all the other democrats. But honestly, when it comes down to it, in November we'll have two choices. A liar who at least knows what she's talking about or a bigot who literally has the mentality of a 12 year old. I'm sorry, but the choice is clear there and I refuse to support a bigot. I think these are the worst two candidates in a loooong time, but Trump is clearly the worser evil and Oliver gets that. Plus, Oliver did have a go at the dnc so people saying that he never does obviously didn't watch the video.

Bernie supporters did not go out and vote in the primaries and whatever medalling that happened, it sucks, but not the time to throw the tantrum. Because Donald Trump supporters believe more strongly that he can "fix" the system than the people on the left does with Hilary. Not enough people are going to vote third party to do anything but help Donald Trump win. Send letters to your senators about your grievances after the Democratic party secure the presidency.

"Neutral" DNC pitched stories to the media trying to smear Sanders (For example, Debbie Wasserman Schultz lying (with many MSNBC hosts, especially Rachel Maddow) about chairs being thrown in Nevada. 3. Debbie Wasserman Schultz trying to bury debates at times when no one would watch them (like on the Saturday before Christmas) so fewer people would be able to hear Sanders vs. Clinton 4. Hillary Clinton's campaign meeting with Barack Obama's administration, trying to get him to endorse her before the Illinois primary 5. Email around DNC of them strategizing to smear Sanders as an atheist before midwest primaries (from Wikileaked emails) 6. Hillary Clinton campaign clearly breaking Super Pac coordination laws while DNC looks the other way 7. DNC having strategy documents to boost Hillary Clinton to media before any other candidates were announced 8. Donna Brazile revealing how the Hillary Clinton campaign had such a stranglehold on the DNC budget 9. Donna Brazile giving Hillary Clinton debate questions before a primary debate 10. The media displaying a clear bias toward Clinton for multitude of reasons 11. Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews barely asking any questions of substance when it comes to Clinton while trying their hardest to rake Sanders over the coals in their interviews 12. Hillary Clinton campaign manager directing Debbie Wasserman Schultz on DNC hires before Clinton announced she was running Note: In many of these instances, it was the DNC chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, displaying a clear bias toward Clinton. However, in the DNC charter and bylaws (Article 5, Section 4) it states that "...the Chairperson shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates and campaigns. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and evenhandedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process." Many of the people in the DNC did not show impartiality and evenhandedness, especially not Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I can't claim that if these things didn't happen, Sanders would 100% have won. That's impossible to know. However, what's important is that these things should've been fair and in accordance with the rules of the DNC charter and bylaws, and the reason everyone is getting so upset is because it isn't. Stop diluting yourself.

[@shelbylongbottom5865]

+Uthman Baksh And it's not like he could viably run third-party. We all know that's bound to fail. Remember the debate in 2012 when Jill Stein was running and a Green Party candidate? They handcuffed her to a chair during the debate because she wanted to participate in democracy. Remember Ralph Nader and how he was blamed for Al Gore's loss? How he's still blamed?

F*ck t-series I corrected my misspelling English is not my first language The European Union stands for bureaucracy and corporatism they denied my country’s right the democracy and forced through the Lisbon Treaty currently they have made over 1000 people redundant in the midlands and attempted to do the same to Irish beef farmers but for now it appears it has died down no doubt I will be forced through

vote for Gary Johnson instead or at least get him to 15% at the polls so you can hear what he has to say in the presidential debate. He needs at least 15 in polling to be "invited" into the debates.

I’m no speech pathologist, but I am a trained singer… and if I’m not mistaken, I think President Biden might raise his voice so much when he’s speaking publicly because it’s a stutter control practice. You can’t stutter when you sing because of the placement and projection required. Mr. President, if that’s what you’re doing, that’s cool as heck!

[@TheRacoonGhost]

i just hate how every video about Trump in the past basically predicts the future. why America? Why?

[@mechengr1731]

Bc some people felt the Republicans were too 'weak', the democrats tried to force Hillary into the presidency despite all of her issues. Third party candidates never get anywhere. So the majority of people felt they had to choose: "Crooked Hillary" or Trump the business man. I think the people who voted for Trump didn't vote for the man, but for the ideas he pretended to have. He wasn't a politician, he was a businessman. Good businessmen know how to hire intelligent people skilled in various skills. They also are good at making deals. He could fix the economy, shove out corrupt politicians, and bring jobs back to the US. So, go for a known politician who has a checkered past, go for the non-politician who promised to fix what was broken, or try a third party candidate in protest of the corrupt two party system bc both those candidates are crap?

[@rexstevenson3239]

it's funny how this video was about the DNC but still made it about Trump

[@paulstreehousepublishing]

The entire democratic platform is about Trump.... because they have no platform. And Trump is so damn popular, their best strategy is to tailgate their way to the white house.

[@phillipprice43]

Trump's entire campaign is about bashing Clinton. Both parties campaigns are embarrassing and despicable.

[@paulstreehousepublishing]

Phillip Price Not at all. Heck, just look at the last post I made on my wall where I compare HC and DT's two last facebook posts from yesterday. HC just talks about trump. DT talks about country. HC's comments thread are full of hate and DT's comments thread are full of love.

[@phillipprice43]

We're going to compare the two's entire campaign strategies based on two facebook posts? Oh, ok. For the record, I'm not a Clinton supporter. Her mindless Trump bashing grinds my gears as much as it does yours. I just find it almost humorous to claim Trump supporters are so full of love. The amount of us vs them mentatlity that Trump preaches daily is enough to show he doesn't spread a whole lot of love.

[@paulstreehousepublishing]

Phillip Price We're going to judge trump supporters based on how they're portrayed on mainstream media? Oh. ok. Curious, which group of protesters have been the most disruptive during this race? The socialists (Bernie people). Which group has been the most violent during this race? Black lives Matter (who's endorsement, btw, is currently being sought out by Hillary). I judge people by their fruits and behavior (NOT their words). Their facebook posts are merely symptomatic and just a data point (of many) to consider in your assessment.

[@user-qz2ld3vt2d]

i kept thinking why do you have to sacrifice something to be a good president, sounds really strange dont you think? like you have to die for your country to be president, because that is the ultimate sacrifice but than your dead so yeah odd thing to have to do.

[@MrBeastknows]

Did you not watch the video? The video clearly shows what Trump has said. Hillary definitely is terrible, but it's either a devil who won't change really anything or a devil that no one knows what will do when elected.

[@AlexSanLyra]

She probably sacrificed about as much as Trump... the difference is she wouldn't say "I've sacrificed a lot".

You want a good person to compare to Trump, look as Jacob Rees-Mogg. A rich, entitled, absolute bellend who large chunks of the country for some reason like. He's a genuinely disgusting human being, and there's a possibility he'll be prime minister in the relatively near future. The UK and USA are so fucked.

[@Nightstick24]

Wasn't focused on the RNC, it was focused on comparing and contrasting the two, something he could do because both had happened, unlike in his RNC video where the DNC hadn't yet happened. Big difference between focusing on the RNC, and comparing/contrasting it to the DNC.

[@dubbadubya]

He wouldn't say anything bad as he could have a chance of being axed due to HBO's parent company donating funds to Hillary's campaign.
