I don't disagree, hence why I support Bernie.

No one running for president will not deal with this.
Achilles wrote:nuclear Iran
Iran isn't going to get nukes; the nuclear deal has shut down everything. Even if this wasn't the case, Iran poses less of a threat than North Korea, and North Korea poses virtually none. Every nation in the world knows that any government who attacks the U.S. ,especially with nukes, is not long for this world.
Achilles wrote:Hillary and Bernie think global warming is the greatest issue facing the world today... Sorry there's no punch line.
That's because it is.
Explain how a few thousand fanatics on the other side of the world are going to destroy our way of life.
Explain how North Korea with it's half a dozen crappy nukes are going to stand up to our hundreds of Thermonuclear weapons.
They are not a serious threat to our way of life.
Climate change? Another story entirely. 97% of scientists agree that it's happening and that it's caused by us. You cannot disregard the 97% and call yourself anything but ignorant.
How's our economy going to be when New York, San Francisco, Portland, and Atlanta have been consumed by rising seas? How's the world food supply going to be when arable farmland has been damaged? To say that Climate Change is not the biggest challenge facing our nation, let alone the world, speaks of a dangerous degree of ignorance.

I am, your point is?
Achilles wrote: Everything that Ted Cruz believes, is written in those documents.
That's funny. Where in the constitution does it say Homosexuals are evil and should be killed, as someone whose endorsement Ted Cruz toutes believes? Where does it say that Transgender people can only use the restroom of a gender they are not? Where does it say that atheists cannot be president? Article VI paragraph 3 perhaps, where it says, unequivocally, that there shall be no religious tests for office? If you disagree with me that's fine, but using bullshit in your arguments isn't going to do anything to improve how terrible they are.
Achilles wrote:Our current president has disregarded the constitution in every one of his decisions.
Give me one paragraph or clause he has disregarded in something he's done and how it goes against the constitution.

Citation needed, I can't find this.
Achilles wrote:If there are any good things about Donald trump, then they are that he loves America, and he is not PC.
He loves money. How does he love America? He's the least charitable billionaire out there. His tax plan would more than double our deficit while making him more money, and his immigration "plan" would not only tear families apart, not only not work, but it would also shred our economy.
This praise of people for not being politically correct is the biggest joke of the election season. Political correctness is saying what people want to hear so that you get there vote in lieu of a less appreciated term. This railing against "PC Culture" fits that definition fully and completely. He's not trying to get the vote of the non-bigoted and informed, he's trying to get the vote of the ignorant and by using the term PC Culture, he's manipulating them into voting for him. He's not being brave by saying what his base wants to hear.
