And maybe I could hold my nose and vote for her if her record and positions didn't also suck on trade, wall street regulation, fracking, healthcare, etc.
She's the worst candidate to be put up by the Dems in my lifetime.
Oh, and her Keystone XL position was a total joke too, "BUT BUT BUT I need more information before I can decide".
Trump is running in the GOP primarily which is mostly made up of loons, and he has to play to them... And yet, he had the courage to tell them to their face that the Iraq War was wrong, that George W. Bush didn't "keep us safe", that he wouldn't touch Social Security benefits, that single payer healthcare wasn't the devil and that we couldn't "let people die in the streets" the way some GOPers apparently are fine with... He is incredibly shallow but I think he's smarter, more independent, and more pragmatic than Hillary. It's not about the purity test, it's about him being a better candidate as sad as that is.
Also, Trump actually sued Bill for $5M, so there's that.
Only because he is more left wing than them and is a terrible person.
You automatically go to Trump for no reason, like I said: non-content poster.
Why don't you spam the board with a few more articles from Salon. I bet you've been caught posting Onion articles like they were real.
I guess I get Sanders supporters not voting for Hilary... I don't agree with them, but I get it. But staying home altogether is just ing stupid when you consider how many state and local campaigns that will also give to Republicans.
I think it's because they can't control him - he's not beholden to any donor - he'll upset their gravy train.
Facts don't show a Trump revolution
Rachel Maddow points out that contrary to the "anti-establishment" tone of Republican front-runner Donald Trump, Republican voters are so far not rebelling against Republican in bent candidates and by all measure just seem to like Trump.

Trump Fan Brutally Pepper-Sprays Teenage Girl
Violence between Trump supporters and his protesters has broken out once again. A capitol reporter for the Wisconsin State Journal,Molly Beck, witnessed an altercation at a rally in Janesville, which ended with a fifteen-year old protester being pepper-sprayed by a Trump supporter – so badly that she needed medical assistance afterwards. The heavily white town with a lengthy history with the Ku Klux Klan exploded into chaos this afternoon as hundreds of Black Lives Matter activists clashed with racists.
UPDATE – Witness reports, confirmed by local police chief, reveal that the Trump supporter sexually assaulted her by groping the young woman’s chest, which prompted the punch and then the pepper-spraying. On a day which has already seen Trump and his supporters disparaging and insulting a woman after she was assaulted by his campaign manager, this truly puts into perspective how deep the hatred in the Trump campaign truly runs – misogyny, xenophobia, racism are all celebrated and defended by Trump and his bigoted supporters. He teaches them to treat other humans as objects, to be groped, shoved, and beaten with impunity; his supporters revel in their new-found confidence and behave like animals in public.
UPDATE – the victim of the pepper-spraying has reached out to Occupy Democratsand has given us this description of the incident to relay:
It was simple. I was in the crowd and a man started groping me. I yelled at him to stop touching me several times and he just laughed and continued, I yelled at him and said “you’re a grown man and I am a fifteen-year-old-girl, are you proud of yourself?” As I tried to push him off. He just kept laughing and still had his hands on me, so I hit him. Immediately as my hands went towards him I got pepper sprayed and then I basically got carried to a cop car because I could not open my eyes.
The pictures are a brutal symbol not only of the violence of Trump’s movement but of their naked disrespect towards women. As he continues to encourage violence at his rallies, the likelihood of people getting injured is rising substantially. This is a low point of American history that we won’t be able to soon recover from. This is fascism at work.

They are all Gerry-mandered anyway
Your article seems to be missing a key element, the confirmation from the police chief. I mean for s sake it was even an "update"...how'd they leave the chief's crucial statement out.
did you even watch the video?
this is completely inconsistent with your support for trump
Please tell me how.
All I saw was the .gif
Looks like she blows air out of her nose and that prompts pepper spray guy to act?
you're concerned with foreign intervention and you want the guy who wants to go balls out in the middle east, hasn't ruled out using nuclear weapons on the area, etc
yes, I did. Some typically less, chicke asshole, very probably a Trump asshole, peppered sprayed her.
Taking pepper spray to a political meeting?
To use it on the cops?
or on opponents.
Really chick lessness by wannabe Machos.
She punched him in face. I wish he would have tased her.

She shoved him near the face?
He seriously felt threatened by love tap from 15 year old girl to the point of using spray?
The f out.
hilarious. You reliably come back defending some rightiwingnut, less asshole who brings pepper spray to listen to Trump.
He wants to go "balls out in middle east"? He's never said anything like that other than he wants to destroy ISIS like EVERY other candidate.
He has consistently been against the Iraq war and he has never pushed for regime changes the way Hillary has.
Pretty much. Donald wants to work with Russia tbh. That's as far as from a warmonger as possible. He should receive the Nobel peace prize just for saying that tbqh
Obama got the award for saying way less
Trump and his rivals back away from RNC’s loyalty pledge
There was a point last summer when Donald Trump flirted with the possibility of running an independent presidential campaign, prompting widespread consternation in Republican circles. But by early September, Trump announced that he’d signed the RNC’s “loyalty pledge,” committing him to the party’s nominating process – and its nominee.
As we’ve discussed before, however, the New York Republican left himself some wiggle room. Trump said, repeatedly, that he would honor the agreement so long as Republicans treated him “fairly.” He never specified exactly what “fairly” meant – apparently, he knows it when he sees it – but the candidate’s rhetoric suggested he always saw a way out of his promise.
All of which led up to last night, when things changed.
When pushed again by moderator Anderson Cooper about whether he’d respect the so-called “Loyalty Pledge” … Trump was more direct:
“No, I don’t anymore. No. We’ll see who it is. And he was essentially saying the same thing.”
In this case, “he” referred to Trump’s principal rival, Sen. Ted Cruz, who also suggested he no longer feels bound by the party’s pledge.
“I’m not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and attacks my family,” Cruz said last night. Pressed to explain the implications of his position, the Texas Republican would only say, “I gave you my answer.”
For good measure, even John Kasich hedged on whether he’ll honor the RNC pledge, saying he would have to wait to “see what happens” in the Republican race before deciding whether to keep his commitment.
Keep in mind, at a Republican debate held earlier this month, these candidates were asked whether they’d support their party’s presidential nominee, no matter who prevailed. Cruz said, “Yes, because I gave my word that I would.” Kasich responded, “[If Trump] ends up as the nominee – sometimes, he makes it a little bit hard – but, you know, I will support whoever is the Republican nominee for president.”
A lot has happened in the four weeks since, and as of last night, the RNC’s “pledge” appears to be no more.
The next question, of course, is whether or not anyone should care about its demise. As a practical matter, if Trump eventually secures the Republican nomination, it won’t make too much of a difference if Cruz and/or Kasich balk at an endorsement. It won’t look good that they abandoned their promise, but the real-world consequences are limited.
If, however, Trump doesn’t win his party’s nomination, and he’s decided the pledge is null and void, he may yet pursue a third-party candidacy – the one scenario the RNC thought it had prevented when Trump signed on the dotted line.
It’s difficult to know for certain just how serious to take these developments. The simple truth is, these Republican candidates have been battling it out for nearly a year; they’re in the middle of a long slog that won’t end for months; a contested convention appears likely; and by all appearances, the members of this trio don’t much care for one another. Asking them about their willingness to support a rival right now is like asking siblings to talk about their love for one another in the middle of an ugly family argument – it may be true, but it’s not foremost on their minds at the moment.
Regardless, if each of the remaining Republican presidential contenders have given up on the pledge they signed, the intensity of intra-party heartburn is only going to get worse. The do ent was supposed to bind these candidates to a process and a set of rules, and if it’s been shredded by the people who signed it, the political world can expect increased chaos.
