I found the article interesting until they only criticized trump and didn't mention anything on Hillary. Is that supposed to be an unbiased website?

It's all good folks, should have fact checked, my bad. It is comforting to know you guys hold your fellow Blowout members to higher standards then the person you are voting for to run the country. This is our own little safe space.

It's all good. Frankly, both major party candidates (like many politicians) are well known bloviating truth stretchers. In this particular case, being that Memorial Day was months ago it surprised me I hadn't heard about it already. That's what made me check. I would have done the same if it had been any member and any candidate. Trust me, there is plenty of actual absurdity to go around for Crooked Hillary and Dotty Donald.

Agreed.

What is truly interesting is how many states seem to be in play this year. It has been years since we've had so many within the margin of error. There will be a huge shift in polling next week after the debate, but the 1st debate usually gets buried no matter how it goes. Still a lot of game to go...

...I wish Johnson had made the stage. Would have been an interesting dynamic.

You seem to get hurt a lot. This might not be the section for you.

Unscientific poll without a margin of error that polled a variety of current, retired, reservists, et al without disclosing how many of each.

The title of the article doesn't even match what the article says nor who was polled(I don't think..impossible to tell definitively due to language of the article).

I suggest you stop reading that page. I also suggest anyone out there stop using The Blaze, Mother Jones, and the Daily Koz as news sources. A diverse source of news doesn't present diversity of views if the news sources are purely propaganda. Honestly, it more likely makes you an idiot.

I could be wrong but I think I have a bead on who James Woods would select in our poll.

If I went around bad mouthing him, didn't like him, and thought he did a mediocre job holding political jobs I wouldn't vote for either as I have no respect for Hillary and most of her beliefs.

You say we need a good business leader but Trump is known as one of the worst. He's filed for bankruptcy 6 times, still owes $650 million to overseas investors and people seem to think that he'll know what he's doing with the economy. Also overseas relations take a lot of charisma and tact which he has neither. I believe he will be a danger with foreign policy and might create bigger threats than the U.S. currently has to deal with now with him upsetting other dangerous leaders

Him owing 650 million is like you owing 10k on your car. Not worried about bankruptcies, at that level it's a part of business sometimes. You could be right about upsetting foreign leaders, but he will be a leader that they know will not be pushed around.

There is a difference between being pushed around and diplomacy to not start another war.

If Trump is elected, expect war with North Korea and Iran. Now, after the nuclear fallout with North Korea, we will have on our hands a humanitarian crisis. Millions of people who will probably have severe mental and health issues due to generations of family being in slave camps. They do not know how to think for themselves due to the regime thinking for those people.

Now, what war happened in 2003 that sounds similar (with the exception of people being in camps)? What was an offshoot from that? ISIS. Sounds familiar.....I am thinking that this situation would be eerily similar.

You can send your child to fight in that war. I am not sending mine.

The government embellished accusations to the American people about Saddam having capabilities when he didn't. How many of our soldiers were killed? Maimed? PTSD? Ruined families? For what? A lack of diplomacy.....

Trump is an unstable man. A great entertainer but a lunatic. The way he conducts himself isn't what the USA and world needs.

I am excited for this debate.

I HOPE she says "Let's talk about your experience"

Where did James Woods get his information? Or is it true because it was on the Internet?

During a Memorial Day parade, she had an "actor" put on a US Navy dress uniform and stand behind her and walk with her during the parade. This was done to try and deceive people, nothing more nothing less. The problem is she and her people knows so little about our military that the guy was wearing the wrong uniform and badging, total F up on her part. Here, put on this Navy Officers Dress White Uniform, but wear the hat and badging of a Navy Chief, BRILLIANT!

This is why every active duty and veteran I know refuses to vote for her, liar, snake, and cheat who has no respect for our service men and women. Unless you served you would never know the difference, but we are watching and can see just what a conniving traitor she is to our military.

Let's say these were 100% accurate, wouldn't that make Obama's push for more gun control sound about right? I mean, if you posted this to slam Obama, I think you inadvertently made him look right and made the GOP, who stymies gun control efforts, look stupid and ignorant.

At least these aren't right, so whatever point you were trying to make was not made. Unless your point was that you don't fact check anything and just like hitting that share button on Facebook and then kick back and act like you did something good for the day.

No. Why would it? to many (including me) it clearly looks like a real lack of leadership and a weak "can't we all just get along attitude". He is percieved as a wimp. And don't even start with well at least he didn't start a war stuff. You don't have to go to war to project strength. He cares more about foreigners than Americans, unless it fits a political agenda like race or guns. He has allowed at least 2 countries (and not very safe ones at that) to gain nuclear weapons and one even is testing them and laughing at us while we do nothing. The world will not respect weakness, and Obama is clearly the weakest president we have had.
