I'll have the same complete disdain for them I have for anyone who was foolish enough to vote for nader - another clown who claimed there was no difference between the parties. This very thread proves otherwise.

Sam Fucking Alito and John Fucking Roberts. Anyone who thinks donnie wouldn't do the same and worse doesn't give a shit about women, minorities, the environment or anything else supposed progressives care about.

This alone will bring him tens of millions of uncritical supporters, and they don't even hear the part about "war on women", 'cause they can't won't see it.

...in order to ensure he doesn't get elected. I have never believed that he really wanted the White House.

19. And that's EXACTLY why we have to be vigilant about who Trump selects as VP.

My own theory is that Trump will resign and leave us with his VP as an unelected President.
