I don't blame him for taking a long time to name a foreign leader he liked, but the Aleppo thing was just stupid. I don't know how he didn't know what it was.

Trump probably didn't know what Aleppo was either, and people are still somehow voting for him

I love our country so much

Debate was awesome until I realize it was for real. Going to cry myself to sleep now. Bye

I'm thankful for Trump's existence for the same reason I'm thankful that the Titanic hit the iceberg.

This might force your fucking nation to re-compartmentalize their entire established order and political infrastructure in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. You guys need money out of political campaigns and for these campaigns to be shorter.

You've turned your political process into an entertainment venture. A 'reality' TV show. That's dangerous as fuck.

How any woman could sit there and support Trump, at this point, is beyond me. I just don't see how anyone could just push what he's done and said to the side. How is this moron still in the race? How does he still have supporters?

What the fuck is going on?!

Because his "scandals" are all things that appeal to his core voter base even further.

Sadly, you're probably correct. What I find most disturbing is the amount of yards in my neighborhood with Trump/Pence signs, and next to those signs in the yards are wives and daughters playing or hanging out or whatever.

By having that sign in your yard, you're standing next to something that supports a stance that's purely and simply "I do not care about women and I think they are less than I am."

That's what supporting Trump means to me. I just can't believe it.

Speaking as an observer in this, it is honestly very very sad that the US presidential race has become this degraded.

It was funny to start, but now - now it's just scary.

Although I won't be voting since I don't have US citizenship yet, I support Trump. Not perfect but by far a better choice than Hitlery.

I'd prefer the president to support my right to marry who I wish.

To be fair Trump said he was very supportive of LGBT at one point

But then again he said that he'd support women getting punished for abortion, so who knows what the dude is thinking. He's like an empty vessel from which contentious political statements spew forth.

Basically, this.

Trump opposed marriage equality and even went so far as to say he would appoint judges to overturn it. He was openly disgusted by Michael Sam coming out as the first openly gay NFL draftee. He voiced disappointment that homophobes are seemingly being silenced in modern debates around the issue due to political correctness.

Mike Pence supported constitutional amendments to ban marriage equality. He wanted to move funding from HIV prevention to gay conversion therapy. He wanted homosexuality to be exempt from hate crime laws.

Trump basically said, at one point as you put it, that he was supportive of the LGBTQI community. But I mean that in the literal sense. His ongoing opinions and beliefs, as well as his actions during this campaign and previous ones and his life in general, including the choice of running mate of Mike Pence as VP, show he is strongly opposed to equal rights for LGBTQI individuals, and would seek to reverse a lot of the progress that has been made.

Why do you think that?
Hillary Clinton is incredibly corrupt, incompetent, loyal to the banks, rigged the primaries against her opponent, and is a neocon who wants to start WW3.

I am against gay rights so if Trump is against them too than that is good.

Good to know my rights as a human being are less than yours.

No offence, but...why do I get the feeling you either don't understand or can't justify half of the things you just said there? It reads like you quoted a conservative commentator verbatim rather than came to those conclusions on your own.
