Maybe I haven't scrolled back far enough in the chat, but since there are some Trump supporters here: how do you genuinely feel about the John Oliver segment on Trump? I've looked around the internet, and it doesn't seem there are many negative reactions to it besides his Drumpf campaign, and how it may be anti-immigrant.
While it is a satirical show, Oliver provides a lot of cited sources to prove his points against Trump are true. What would be your response to his claims?

Well that was hilarious. I only wish Jon Stewart was still on CC during this election. Most Trump supporters who are reasonably informed with politics usually know most of the attacks on him. For his "failed businesses" that doesn't matter. Businesses fail all the time, but the parent corporation hasn't failed. I thought it was stupid of him not to condemn David Duke, but he did later, which really didn't matter at that point. I think he doesn't want to condemn someone who wants to vote for him. Which I honestly understand. He never brought it up nor wanted to, but he does want every vote he can get. My honest reason for looking past all the **** Trump says and does is that it's the politicians' fault. They've done nothing for decades and put themselves and us in this position where I'm voting for President because I think that thus person is a risk I'm willing to take. If I'm willing to vote for someone whk I think is a gamble, it just shows how desparate America is. It has much less to do with Trump himself, rather, the politicians and establishment. Donald Trump doesn't shy away from controversial ideas, and often times those ideas are needed, or at least need to be part of the discussion. For example, temporarily banning Muslims from entering the country. Although, I think until a proper system can be set up, we should ban any refugee and accept people on an individual level. Killing terrorists' families... That's too far for my beliefs, although most families do know about, or are even cooperating with the terrorist group. If I had a penny for every time a politician lied, I'd have more money than Trump. He lies a lot, yes. Every other candidate pretty much lies on an hourly basis, too. Like last night's speech by Ted Cruz. He quoted Trump for saying Education should be one of the top 3 priorities for the government. I saw the town hall when Trump said that, and Anderson Cooper (who I like a lot) questioned him further on that since Trump said previously that education should go to the states, and Trump clarified that Education was a government priority because it is in the power of the government right now and it needs to be released to the states, which means that the government has to do something with it to to allow the states to handle education. Ted Cruz most likely knew that, but like all politicians, he lied and took it out of context. I hear polls constantly about the disapproval rate/"would not vote for" of Trump. I heard that since the start of the election. But not once did I see a poll for the "would not vote for" rates of other candidates until just recently. Which apparenlty, are all pretty high, not unlike Donald Trump at all.
