Increasing wages does not create jobs, it removes them.  

I get why you support Bernie and not Trump, but to say Trump doesn't care about the lower-middle class is inaccurate.

His plan is to get rid of income taxes completely for individuals who make less than $25k a year. He wants medicare to be more affordable, and completely tax deductible for everyone. The medicare plans for every politician all want the same outcome, but have different ways of going about it. Trump has made jobs in America, and yes, he has made jobs in China. But he has made jobs in America, too. He's a businessman who had to work with the terrible system the gov. currently has, which means it's much cheaper to send jobs to China, rather than America. He recognizes that problem and wants to change it. It's easy to see the outside of Trump, and without digging in more, think that he's all fake. A great ogre once said "Onions have layers." And like onions, people do too. Some (quite a bit) of Trump's layers aren't pretty, but it doesn't mean he's as bad as some people make him out to be. It's nothing against Sanders or any other candidate, it's just about why I like Trump. I like Sanders (despite your disbelief) and I think he's the next best candidate to get anything done, but I believe in Trump more. I do think he's a gamble, and it goes to show how sad the gov. is that I'm willing to take a gamble for who becomes the next President. Can you honestly believe that everything Trump says he wants to do to improve the country is a complete lie and when he's President, he'll just remove taxes for Trump Inc. and screw over lower-middle class workers? Trump recognizes a lot of the problems that politicians never even go near, because Trump knows the system, how they work, and how the rich find loopholes and take advantage of the economy. He wants to change that. Trump's favorite thing is his success. The only reason he flaunts his money is because in today's world, money represents success. He of all people would want to do the best for America because he wants a legacy. Sure, that's a greedy reason for him to do it, but that doesn't take away what he actually wants to do. I know you probably won't respond @Yog, but if you're reading this, I at least want you to know I do respect you & your reasons for supporting Sanders. And my support for Trump is nothing against Sanders or any other candidate, but it's about me believing Trump will actually do good.  

To the whole debate earlier regarding air strikes, I believe someone mentioned how these air strikes are coordinated and performed in a manner that makes them useful (targeting terrorists).

The U.S accidentally placed an airstrike on a doctors without borders facility killing 42 people and injuring much more, 16 U.S officials including a two-star general are being investigated for it.

" "Patients burned in their beds, medical staff were decapitated and lost limbs, and others were shot by the circling AC-130 gunship while fleeing the burning building," Doctors Without Borders said in its report of the attacks released in November.
President Barack Obama has apologized for the attack, which was conducted to support Afghan troops attempting to retake the city, and the Pentagon has referred to it as a “mistake.” "

This happened a few months ago, but the investigation just finished, this is one of many incidents that have occurred with these 'coordinated airstrikes'.

I feel like Trump will just continue on the war route but make it even worse than it is, I can see a lot more innocent casualties occurring if he is elected and decides to wipe out ISIS with as much brute force as possible.

I'm not trying to undermine the significance of the tragedy of the U.S. killing innocents accidentally, because it is awful, and shouldn't happen. That doesn't necessarily mean airstrikes are the problem. It could mean that the time surveilling areas before airstrikes isn't long enough, they aren't gathering enough intelligence before acting, could be a human error, etc. All are no reason to let that happen. Please don't take what I'm about to say as being that I am OK with innocents dying. However...

I don't necessarily favor airstrikes. I'm fine with ground troops. Strategy and intelligence is important. I do think airstrikes along with good intelligence can be the most efficient way to fight the war with ISIS. My point is something needs to be done, a lot more than currently is. There's always going to be innocents that die. When you're dealing with people like ISIS, civilian casualties are impossible to avoid. I'm not undermining the value of the lives for the innocents who died, and it's really hard to say what I mean in words, but ISIS is doing much more than that 1 accident did. I know there's more than that 1 accident in which we have killed innocent civilians, but that statement was for stating my point.

thats just war. Nothing can be done about it. Mistakes are made and sometimes innocents pay the price. Nothing can be done about the fog of war. The only way to prevent it is to stay out of war. ISIS needs to go, they are a huge threat to the west and allies. They pretty much already destroyed europe by "caussing mass immigration" and destroying europian culture with the help of the leaders there. Next is america, the middile easts culture is radically different from ours, taking them in en masse will just allow them to create there own towns where there own culture dominates. The only way to remove a threat like this is through brute force. If done correctly and team up with russia to get rid of em. They would be crushed in a matter of weeks, then we can leave and never look back and have minimal civilian casualties as its fast work. Fast and effective work = less time civilians spend in war zones leading to faster safety of civilians  

I just don't want Hillary to win. If it means Donald Trump winning, I don't really care.

Before you call me a sexist, It has nothing to do with her being a woman. I want there to be a female president at some point, but not Hillary. Hillary will terribly misrepresent women and hurt the chances of a female president ever being elected again. She is a not trustworthy and a criminal.

Right?

Condoleezza Rice would be a great option to fit that role imo.

But not the first black woman as president  

I'm honestly going to write-in John Cena  

It's poisonous that being "the first" anything is even a conversation piece... Being president of the US isn't about being quirky or different, it's about being the best for the job.

 

X.X I don't like Hillary and rather have Bernie take her place, but it seems she is going to be our next president without a doubt now.

I know exactly how you feel...  

Sanders believes he can get the super delegates from Hillary, so maybe it's possible? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
