Dammit. I hate having to defend him, but if the quotes in the article are accurate, he never actually says "vote for me." He says "get out and vote."

I heard the audio. It's appalling and no way to dress it up.

Oh, I agree it's appalling. But he still doesn't say to vote for him. Sure it's at one of his rallies, but he doesn't implicitly say to vote for him.

WIN/Gallup International’s did an international poll

Trump loses everywhere but Russia.

Countries where Clinton has the greatest Edge over Trump
Portugal 80%
Finland 79%
South Korea 79%
Sweden 75%
Colombia 75%
Mexico 73%
Austria 69%
Germany 69%
Netherlands 69%
Paraguay 68%

Countries where Clinton has the least Edge over Trump
Iraq 33%
Slovenia 30%
Macedonia 28%
Bulgaria 25%
Latvia 24%
Lebanon 23%
India 22%
Palestine 22%
China 9%
Russia -23%

That's strange to me. Trump has really been embraced by the hardcore far-right Uribistas in Colombia.

do you get mad if a party/person gets elected? do you just look at their foreign policy and make a decision (if you make one at all)

It's every single person on this planets business who the President of the United States is. For so Very many reasons.

i understand that, but i mean, how does it affect YOU personally. not on a global level. what do you consider yourself? R, D, I, L etc. how much do you actually pay attention. do you watch the debates?

So far removed from this whole thing. I'm pretty much sitting back enjoying what's going down over there - can't believe it came down to these two. They're the best that each party had to put forward? Interested to see how this all turns out

Watched the first one. Not the VP one. the whole world is watching the whole thing. Even if you don't want to you don't have a choice as all media everywhere is covering it.

this is exactly how i feel. if it were one or the other id have to go with clinton. but there is a third party and as much as i want to vote for it, their candidate isnt so bright either. i think with clinton she at least knows how things work. gary johnson cant even name another countrys world leader and trump thinks we should just build a wall and blow everything up

I haven't watched the debates, I can't even remember the last time I watched one over here. I don't find them all that interesting.

masterful troll

I am concerned about this. Aside from the Democratic electorate becoming homeless;

Trump could go down there and act all faux local and Hurricane Sandy-y and the remaining human garbage that lives in Florida will rally around him.

Well ST will be happy to know that Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade were almost totally spared. At least on the first pass with the storm. We'll see what happens next week.

Is it wrong to be a little sad that there will never be another hurricane with my name?

Bernie can kiss my ass. After 8 years of Obama, the Federal government has had very little impact on my life, but after 3 years of Republican state government, my income taxes have shot up and i'm paying new taxes on groceries, movies, doctor's appointments, and car repairs, my wife the teacher has had her pay cut, myself the state employee has had no cost of living increase, and my water source has been exempted from local pollution controls.

Governors matter a fucking lot. State legislatures matter a lot. I could probably even live with a President Trump if the North Carolina General Assembly would stop kicking me in the balls.

Don't belittle state and local office, Bernie. You know better.

And Pearl Jam ran away! Don't forget that!

the tax receipts from the 16 hour merch line would have financed the local school district for a decade

Nothing in that quote suggests that was his intent?
