The presidential candidates have argued their differing opinions countless times throughout the election. But there is one issue in particular causing a lot of controversy this campaign cycle.
The Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership (TPP) has been strongly opposed by Republican nominee Donald Trump, similar to his opinion on the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, while Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has consistently flip-flopped.
What exactly is the TPP? It is a free trade agreement negotiated by the Obama administration between the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim countries. It erases most tariffs with countries like Japan, Australia and Malaysia, while expanding on trade deals through NAFTA with Canada and Mexico. The deal represents one-third of the world’s trade and nearly 40 percent of the global economy.
After seven years of negotiations, the deal was signed on February 4th, 2016 — but it has yet to be ratified.
That means it’s up to the presidential candidates to decide it’s fate.
Trump has vocalized his opposition to TPP since the beginning of his candidacy, calling the deal, “insanity.” He criticized the deal for not accounting for currency manipulation, which he says is, “the number-one weapon used by foreign countries to hurt the United States and take away jobs.”
Trump has said he would squash the deal as president, and instead negotiate with individual countries.
Clinton’s opinion on the TPP is much more complicated. While serving as secretary of state, Clinton praised Obama, saying the deal “sets the gold standard in trade agreements.”
She claims to have changed her mind during a fall debate with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, saying she now opposes the deal, and reiterated that statement at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night.
Critics say it is no surprise she can’t make up her mind on TPP, because she had the exact same flip-flop attitude when it came to NAFTA. She praised the agreement when her husband signed it into law, but then flipped, calling it a mistake in 2008.
With the major public opposition to TPP as of late, Clinton maintains her opposition to it. But there is fear she may again change her mind if elected president.
So, we want to know what you think!
Is the Trans-Pacific Partnership a good idea?
Sasha says
Hillary is a criminal, must be in pRISON
d says
No, you are ignorant …! she would make the best President for America….!
Gary Smith says
What are you smoking?
LES says
ANOTHER IDIOT…STOP WATCHING TV
Ken says
Obviously you are under a state of mind control as with many sheeple! You appear to doubt everything that is of high probability. Do you dream of Hilary Clinton at night, wishing you could exchange places with Billy Bob Whoretown???
Jo Lee says
Lying & cheating, killing, taking money from foreign countries for favors, Benguzie, & many other treasonist matters. That HILLERY. NOW IS THAT WHO WE WANT TO RUN THIS COUNTRY???
Not Me. Look at her history of her life. Things that she said about her life all wasn’t true. Made it like she lived her life after mother. No Way. Lier All those that vote for her deserve to be hurt along the rest of us if she wins. PLAIN STUPID.
Valerie Mattingly says
Right on!!! People don’t seem to remember Vince Foster & other criminal acts during Bills administration, even as Gov. of Ark. When mention is made of Trumps contacting Valdimer, it’s a fear that the DNC wants to put into us. How about the Clinton Foundation??? China & other countries are contributing to that plus corporations. Did anyone notice the sad look on Bernies face when Hillary thanked him??? HE was supposed to be giving the nomination speech. As usual the Clintons have done everything to steal the nomination. My vote is for Trump. He can’t be ANY worse than Hillary carrying on Obamas crap.
EMILIANO says
We got a lot of them in America. JUST VOTE TRUMP AND FORGET THE OBUMMMMAS AND THE CLINTON’S.
SUE says
YES VOTE FOR TRUMP
JR-IA says
You forgot about all the strange deaths surrounding the Clintons.
james Ranahan says
I also think Hillary is a pathological liar. she will lie on top of lies to get what she wants and the cover ups? This should be a warning to american votiers.
I would like to see a woman president but not this woman.
Donald R. Fender says
She is NOT a criminal regarding the e-mails, HOWEVER, she is a careless DumbASS

Dr. D says
Like a fox would be the best to guard the hen house!
West Hunt says
HUH?
Michael A. says
You,er sick go back and stick you head in a sand hole.
retired says
The only thing Hillary would be good for is a conversation after the fact…. She is a lier, manipulator, traitor, embezzler, and has been know to have ties to unnatural causes of death…..(suicide)….
Trump/Pence are the only duo who can stop the corruption that has been going on in D.C. for far to long..
I am surprised no one has tried to get her name on the unnatural cause of death suicide list.
TRUMP/PENCE 2016 THRU 2024
Paul says
Omg! You have to be a broad!
Alan Humphries says
Yes for Cuba or N.Korea or Venezuela Hildabeast would be perfect. Corrupt dictators are perfect for these countries but not the US.
Barbara Walker says
you are so blind. It’s Trump all the way
West Hunt says
IDIOT
BGM says
In my opinion maybe Trump not perfect, but Hillary is worst. God save America.
Barry Smith says
What the hell are you drinking?? Hillary is the most EVIL, CORRUPT, LYING TWO FACED, FOUL MOUTHED B*TCH ON EARTH. Yes, on Earth!!!!! This bag needs to get defeated and get packing and take the rapist with her (and she can take Jeb & George with her!!!)
Lifestford says
What are the meds you are on you need treatment if u think Hillary would be a great president
Arthur Hartsock says
And if Donald doesn’t get his you know what together Ms. Clinton is definitely going to be POTUS. I’m just wondering why this smart guy is suddenly acting so stupid. Is he another Ross Perot? Is he going to quit and go home? Seems hard to believe that he can become so stupid so quickly.
mark k. says
Now,now, dear. Surely you do not presume to believe that mrs. Clinton is subject to obeying the innumerable laws that we are! Perish the thought!
Herc says
What made you think the next president of this country is a criminal? If you consider her that way, how would you consider Bush & Cheney after what they did to our country? You should be grateful to President Obama & Secretary Clinton that our country’s good name & reputation have been restored in the eyes of the whole world with their dual efforts of a no none sense diplomacy. Be nice & be honest. You seemed to be wallowing in the mud of lies fed to you by Fox News. As Mark says – perish the thought!
Southern By Choice says
Could be in part what the FBI director had to say – “anyone else doing this same thing would be prosecuted “. Don’t forget they used the “intent” excuse, which is not even part of this law to justify not indicting her. Could be the millions she and her husband made while she was secretary of state, which again was something she promised not to do. Could be that she lied to the American people, the Congress and to the families of those killed in Benghazi. could be the destruction of 33,000 e-mails that she said were just “about wedding plans and yoga”, but now are all hot and bothered because Trump asked Russia if they had them to release them. Why so concerned about e-mails talking about yoga and wedding plans? And she and Obama restored the good name and reputation of this country – you have got to be kidding. We are the laughing stock of the world. Have you been living under a rock or in la la land? I don’t get my news from Fox, and I sure don’t get it from lame stream media, which is apparently your source. I research on line from about a dozen different sites – you should try it.
Arlene Monti says
Get your head out of the sand!!! We are thought of so low by other countries that it’s a crying shame!!!
Mathew Molk says
Hey Fool,
Bush, Cheny, and Osoma Obama are not running against the Treasonous Felon Cackling Witch. They are ALL history.
Word is the Cackling Witch is looking for a country with no extradition to take her so she wasn’t have to come back here and face the music when AG Christi has her indicted at the end of January.
Last night was her last night.
james jones says
Herc : you are full of crap.
Cindy says
You suffer from the cleopatra syndrome the queen of denial.
Patricia says
Our good name has been restored? What planet are you living on? Our enemies laugh at us – and started doing so right after Obama’s apology tour – and continues as he “leads from the rear”. Our allies don’t think we are trustworthy any more. In our own country – we are no longer safe because of the infiltration of ISIS rapist and murderers. I am just not sure where you get we are better. Maybe it is that low unemployment rate of 5% that does not even include all the people that have given up looking for a job – if it really included the ACTUAL number it is more like 20%. I am definitely voting for Trump because an unknown is preferable to what we KNOW about Hillary…..lying, thieving, above the law and incredibly full of herself who will finish the job Obama has started and the rushing water sound you hear – well that is her pulling the handle and taking us all down the toilet. God Bless the USA – GO TRUMP/PENCE
Ken says
Obviously you are joking here… Anyone in their right minds knows that Bush 41, Bill Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, and Hillary are all on the same team of love, riches and building their utopia with their king Lucifer…
Heck, Bush 41 is a fake and is a illegitimate republican and a Neocon like his son.. They are all evil doers and warlords… How many wars have the Clinton’s and Bush’s involved the United States in? Wherever it makes a profit or brings leaders under the establishments global control… And Hillary is the Queen of War, she loves power more than the others… WWIII is in her mist for complete global rise…
Hillary Clinton has dreamed of taking over the complete US government since her days with her mentor Saul Alinsky..
And if Hillary is elected she will make sure that we place these SM-3 ballistic missile’s in Poland in 2018. These missiles are coined interceptors when in reality they can be equipped with nuclear warheads in hours or an offensive. The whole pretense will surely set off WWIII with the Russians. China will be ready to join in….
It is so nice to share some top secret and above top secret information with the world via a particular email server…
LES says
you are a fucking idiot ….STOP WATCHING TV
Ken says
Les, you are beyond one… I don’t watch TV, you brainwashed fool… I’m a historian and have been studying the like for over 40 years… I had an above TS working in Intel… So have fun on your fantasy hike…
Ken says
Also, I knew with what I stated that someone like you Les would want to rebuff my statement with a narcissistic attitude… Obviously a very closed minded and reality trapped individual..
All you had to ask is how I have a perception or knowledge of a certain area you are questioning.. Many people are sleeping little sheep and do not know what the bigger picture consist of.. Unless you are an establishment shill trying to discredit someone with true knowledge…
EMILIANO says
YOU ARE IN THE MUD.STAY THERE AND VOTE HILLARIOUS.

Fk you wetcream, back to your own country .

When you look in the mirror what do you see… that’s right…A Libtard Sheeple staring back at you… NEVER EVER KILLARY !!!!!
Constitutionalist says
Herc-
What made you think the next president of this country is a criminal?
Sorry old son.
She’s a CAREER criminal. She has repeatedly proven that crime DOES pay.
No doubt you’ll disbelieve my word, and you’re right to do so.
So, here’s what you do:
Go to Youtube, then watch “The Clinton Chronicles.” It’s free.
Next, watch “Clinton Cash.” Also, free.
If you cure your ignorance – or at the very least, attempt to disprove the overabundance of accusations made in both vids – then you’ll be an actually INFORMED voter! So if AFTERward you still decide to vote for her, you’ll have NO excuse, and there’s NO WAY you’d be able to comfort yourself that you “didn’t know” about her lifelong criminality.
Of course, if you REFUSE to watch the vids, then you’re simply defiantly ignorant, ala:
“Any formal attack on ignorance is bound to fail because the masses are always ready to defend their most precious possession — their ignorance.”
— Hendrick Van Loon
West Hunt says
You are so pitiful I can hardly bring myself to call you an IDIOT
Wendy says
Agree. But with warmth in my heart that has been there since 6/16/15 when Mr. Trump announced I felt it then. As each day passes the hopeful reality of a Trump POTUS is closer. God bless him , USA and the future of our world.

I was looking at Trump,but after hearing that he bet hard working contractor’s,out of there money.there is no way I would vote for him .I know what it’s like too get beat out of lots of money .I got hit for $ 350.000 in one year,and I was a small contractor.
KWP 64 says
As far as I have been able to find out Trump used the legal system to do what he did. Not illegal methods but the law. Hillary has done a lot worse than gone bankrupt. People have lost their lives.
NANCY HAKES says
YES
SM Bailey says
You’ve got it WRONG! She did NOTHING wrong. She practiced what other Secretary of State have done…..C. Rice & C. Powell.
But, the dang republicans sure keep their traps SHUT about that……Don’t you?!

No to TPP
No to HILLARY! (Unless it’s prison)
Yes yes yes to TRUMP/PENCE!!!
Sim says
yes, i agree 100%, no TPP please !!
Trump/Pence yes yes yes !!!!!!!!!!!!
Lilly Putney says
TPP will be so bad for the USA. I working for Kodak when NAFTA was signed. It was a good thing I was retiring because my job went to Mexico and they wanted me to train the ones taking my job. My reply was a resounding NO and No I would not stay for another six months to train them. retired and never looked back. Saw a lot of good people lose their jobs and factories go to Mexico and China. You couldn’t give me a Kodak product to day because they fall apart. No wonder the wound up in chapter 11. Lucky they are still in business.
Diana Soffer says
Trump shows us what a dumb ASS that he is by his speeches . If you want to destroy America vote for Trump!!!!!
john G. says
Another ill informed individual heard from or maybe just plain “stupid” would be more appropriate.
Sloughfoot says
YES! Vote Trump. And God Bless America.
Donald R. Fender says
Having an unbiased viewpoint, I conclude TRUMP is our Salvation as a viable nation. Clinton would twist the knife Obama inserted in the heart of America.
Mary says
He is a realist
Not a polished politician.
He could paint a perfect picture and lie like the rest of them but, he tells it like it really is. And if you can’t stand the truth listen to Hiliary and she will take away the rest of the freedoms we have.
SM Bailey says
????????????????????????KEEP DRINKING THAT ACID HATRED DRUMPF KOOL AID!????????????????????????????
EMILIANO says
WE WILL AND SAVE AMERICA FROM YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE.
Bobbie says
YES! Vote Trump/Pence!!!
Ken says
I agree. The only people for the TPP are those looking at hefty profit and insider trading etc… Of course factory and GMO farmers are being sold on the fact that the partnering countries will be forced to buy their harvested crops by the container loads…
Faxxmaxx says
Thank goodness the readers of this site understand
the dangers of TPP. Only the uninformed or corrupt officials would move this treaty forward. And by the way, Ted Cruz voted to do just that.

Vince Foster
Ruben C. says
Hilary, Cinton Fundation and the Democratic party are corrupts to the bone. What’s with some Americans that can’t see it. Blinded by a long hair individual.
Steven christino says
It takes more than an average understanding of basic economics to rationalize the overall effects of the TPP. Once you come to the full understanding of how global economics work and how it affects our own nations growth, you can clearly see Trump is not fooled by our leaders manipulation to bring our economy to its knees. The real problem is once this trade agreement goes into effect, our economy is doomed. Nations like China, Japan and Malaysia will quickly overtake our Nation making us vulnerable to the stronger currency. Our national debt will soar, and our dollar wont be worth the paper its printed on. Our Government is utilizing this tactic to bring a new world order together and destroy our Constitution. For many, government subsidies and handouts will then become the standard of life on our soil which millions of lives fought so bravely for. All so quickly done with the swipe of a pen, bring tge phrase, “the pen is mightier than the sword” so true, so sadly true. To the ignorant, this will bring joy right before it takes your voice away permanently. Hysteria will set in as our way of life crumbles.
KO says
Steven C.
Excellent post!
It amazes me to know how blind and brainwashed some of our American people are. I hope and pray that God will intervene somehow, someway in the affairs of this nation and give us a reprieve to turn back to Him and make America again the nation she once was.
Sloughfoot says
God bless America.

When it comes to ISIS, I don’t believe Hillary has the courage to destroy them. I could never vote for her.
JB says
I just don’t understand the Republicans who stayed away from the convention. They remind me of little boys who didn’t get there way so they took their ball and went home but what is the alternative, and do they want that? Trump, in my opinion, is our only hope for the future. He has never killed anyone as in the four men that were murdered in a foreign land. What a disaster. And think about both incidents of emails “very careless”?
JB says
I don’t have a website so what do I do

rodnirving says
I believe in free trade, but the countries of the world do not engage in true free trade. The protectionist policies of most governments need to be countermanded in order to level the playing field. That will only be achieved through individual agreements with countries, and companies, not some one size fits all concept.
Mathew Molk says
Some of us are old enough to remember subsidized (inferior grade) Jap steel dumped on the market which resulted in the closing of steel mills in Youngstown and Cleveland. – You aint seen nothing yet If the TTP goes in to effect,
BTW, remember how the 70s cars made with the Jap crap steel rusted away before your eyes.

Yep! I’m an old fart and I DO remember how it just disintegrated before your eyes. Piece of crap cars.

Well said Patti. We need TRUMP, as we needed PATTON in WWII. The BOYS ARN’T PC.
Chaz says
Zinka, go back to wherever you came from !!! You must be drinking the Kool Aid ! I can’t even comprehend the gibberish bullshit that you are attempting to say ! If you want the truth out of Hillary, listen to what she says and believe just the opposite and then you have the truth !
Mathew Molk says
I’ll take a truck driver anytime over a Treasonous Felon Cackling Witch, or a bozo like you any time.
Sloughfoot says
You know Zinka, truck drivers work hard and make an honest living and are part of what makes this country great and keeps the bills paid. Mrs Clinton however is pocketing everything she can get her hands on. Maybe the IRS will eventually find out exactly how much that is. In the mean time, learn to read and write so you can make some sense.
Alan Humphries says
By your writing skills you seem to be the truck driver.

diane contino says
Trump is a strong negotiator and leader. He knows what will happen to the US if the TPP is signed. Hillary doesn’t know anything, only what one person or another thinks or says. That’s why she flip-flops.
john G. says
Trump without a doubt,
Old1 says
Trump is right on this. The union leaders say it’s great but the people paying dues are against it. The union bosses are part of the Dem pay to play machine while the workers give them the money to play with in the form of dues. Clinton is for it but now is against it. If she is elected she will forget everything she said and the deal she made with sanders and his flock and approve it. The American people need to wake up to just how corrupt the Dems are. Say anything, do anything, trick anybody and LIE just to move their crooked agenda ahead.
EEL RIVER says
HILLARY COULDNT HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY. EVERY THING SHE HAS TOUCHED, SHE HAS DESTROYED INCLUDING THE MEN IN BENGHAZI, MOMAR KADAFY, LEFT COUNTLESS COUNTRIES IN A STATE OF RUIN, LIED TO THE FBI AN CONGRESS, SO WHAT CAN YOU SPEAK ABOUT? YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRACK RECORD, HOW CAN A WOMAN LIKE THAT BE PRESIDENT WHEN SHE CANT EVEN KEEP HER MAN AT HOME! THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE SICK STINKIN MARRIAGE.
Gram says
Maybe if she stayed at home and baked cookies and had Children belonging to him, he wouldn’t have gone out with so many different women and gotten Aids (which I just read about again last night). We, as a Country, would be the greatest one in the world. We had our own resources to sustain us, and we also gave to other countries that didn’t have anything to help them out. That is how the Dems have ruined our country. If anybody believes whatever they say, they must like to be given instead to providing for them selves. This country will have to ask other countries to help here. Everything I’ve been reading, we will be loosing ALL Our FREEDOMS if a Clintoon is at the helm.
Sloughfoot says
Bill does look as though he is sickly and the contempt from Hillary is difficult for her to mask.
DCB says
Hillary will do/say anything to get elected…she is in this for herself…PERIOD. The waving of the American flag at the DNC convention was great theatrics! I believe a TONY Award is on the horizon. The flags was only brought out after it was mentioned there were no flags to speak of the first night.
Ayathuray Rajasingam says
Hillary Clinton always places USA on the correct track.

Roy Sams says
The fact is The Women’s liberation movement will vote for Killary because they want the first woman president regardless of the fact the she is and always will be a criminal with criminal intentions of the country. Selling this country to the highest bidder just to enrich her and her husbands coffers. Anyone who sides with Killary is the same and being a traitor to this country. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT IN 2016
Gram says
Back in the 1800’s there was a woman president, the first one, but I can’t remember her name right now.
Mathew Molk says
VICTORIA WOODHULL 1982 – the first woman to seek the presidency as the nominee of a political party.
There are like 200 others that also ran. – Bitchery is FAR from the first and will not be the last to be defeated either.
Trump for the White House. Clinton for the Bog House.

Constitutionalist says
Joanne-
i’m not much on prognostication or prophesy, but if/when The Liar is arrested and convicted, she’ll be certifiably insane within a month as she contemplates just how well the evil one has betrayed her. After all, based on her ‘rhoid rages on BJ Billy, about the only thing holding her together NOW is her desire to have the presidency; when she loses the election – and she could ONLY “win” it by means of MASSIVE voting fraud(both of those who cast AND on those who count) – she’ll have two equally unpalatable choices: flee the country to avoid prosecution, or stay and be imprisoned, likely for the rest of her natural life. She already seems quite unhealthy, to me, based on the coughing jags.
i also saw a curious vid of her recently, where her head did some amazing gyrations and slo-mo of her facial features revealed eyes that were entirely black. No pupils, no whites. Just … black.
JOHN SOPEL says
THE PROBLEM WITH LIBERALS THEY ARE LED AROUND BY THE NOSE BY UNIONS AND LIEING POLITICIANS AN OLD WORLD WAR 2 VETERAN THAT HATES TO SEE THIS COUNTRY GO DOWN THE CHUTE BECAUSE OF POLITICIANS THAT HAVE DUG OUR GRAVE
Sloughfoot says
Liberals are definately beholden to unions, They are encouraged (told) how to vote to keep the union strong. They are blind to all the rest of the agenda that is part of the DNC. They don’t care as long as their jobs are protected even if the country is going to hell.
Daniel Imbruno says
what a state of confussion we have been living the last 8 years so sad
Justin W says
Hillary is a politician. She is going to take whatever side she thinks will get her votes. In the old days in Kentucky politicians would travel the state and change their positions on the issues to fit the mindset of the area they were visiting. In some areas the politicians would be huge supporters of the alcohol industry. In other parts of the state they would come out as a champion in the fight against the evil liquor industry. Modern media has greatly limited the ability of candidates to get away with this flip flop tactic today. Hillary will try to take both sides of the issue depending on what she thinks the crowd wants to hear.
Constitutionalist says
Justin W-
Hillary will try to take both sides of the issue depending on what she thinks the crowd wants to hear.
And if she should(God forbid) take office, you’ll see her decision going to whomever has donated the most money to the Klinton Krime Kollidge.
Sloughfoot says
Why would Obama want our factories AND jobs going overseas with a trade agreement???Only thing I can think of is he hates America and wants to destroy it. And Hillary has lied so much she no longer knows what the truth is. She keeps her cheating husband around to be a partner in crime because she is greedy for money and obsessed with being the first female president. They lead separate lives and come together when it is convenient to carry on the charades.Her track record is one of death and destruction.She is a sad sick woman whom I don’t want for president. Trump all the way!!!
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
The North American Free Trade Agreement only benefited the companies that moved their plants & jobs from Canada & the United States to Mexico.
NAFTA turned out to be a bad deal all around. Ross Perot warned us about what NAFTA’s going to result in, he was right. The Trans Pacific Pact trade
agreement will only benefit China in the long run and benefit the super rich in Mexico, everyone else will not benefit from the TPP trade agreement.
TRUMP-PENCE ALL THE WAY, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The country needs Donald J. Trump & Michael Pence, a pro Trump-Pence House
& Senate majority Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kevin Beck says
First, a correction: NAFTA is North American Free Trade Agreement, and should not be confused with NATO, which is North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
On to the deal.
Since it was negotiated by the Obama regime, I wonder how it can be a gold standard for America. This is a regime that has always done things that are not in the best interests of America; they continuously put America last. The less they do, the better off America is.
My opinion is the major parts of the deal were negotiated by industry insiders, to gain special advantages for the businesses which are paying them. Which is what I would expect. So that would guarantee that there are some winners and some losers in the deal.
My only care about the deal is that it would guarantee access to the ASEAN nations for American products and services, to the detriment of other nations. We have helped these others out too much; let them work their own deals.
Jan C says
Yes, Trump has said some idiotic comments. Have you seen the ad on tv that runs constantly of all the dumb things he has said? Then the democrats say “our children are watching”. If they are so concerned about what our children see, why would they run this commercial over and over. Our children are still watching. I guess we need to teach our children to lie, cheat, kill, rape and get rid of anyone that gets in our way or pay them off like those wholesome Clintons. Hmmmm!
sonnieC says
Donald Trump for our president. Why would we the people want a corrupt ,lying, evil woman like Hillary (ROTTEN) Clinton who also murdered 4 Americans in Benghazi when the bitch was Sec. of State as a president. Then lied about what happened there. She spent 30 yrs in Washington and did nothing but line her pockets with money. Hillary (ROTTEN) Clinton is CORRUPT and no good for America. Donald Trump 2016 a must to make America great Again.
Carl says
No opinion, leave it to our next president Donal Trump to investigate and decide.
Tom says
For me, the most important reason to vote for Trump is SCOTUS. The next president will probably appoint three
justices to the Supreme Court. Trump already released a list of candidates and they all passed judicial critics.
Second, ISIS and the protection of the American people. Which is related to my third reason ”ILLEGAL” immigration
which is related to ISIS and the Mexican drug cartels.
Do you know that the Secret Service and White House have planned to take down the six foot fence and replace it with
a stronger foundation to accommodate an 11ft fence to protect the president. Yet, we will not build a fence to protect
Americans . If you Google White House fence you can verify it for yourself. No media coverage of this.
I sent my donation to Trump today. If you really want Trump , step up to the plate and make a donation. Put your money
where your mouth is. Address is Trump Tower, 725 5th Ave. New York Ny 10022
On to victory for our future.
Lifestford says
I would vote for the White House Janitor than corrupt Hillary. I’m sure he is more truthful,more honest and a real patriotic, compared to Hillary. This election is much more than Dems.and Reb. This election is about the future of our Country, more of the failed policies, or a whole new start! Not since Lincoln has the country became more divided, which is why we must all think of our future and which direction we wish our country to take and become again! If you make the choice of unemployment, high debt, more division, and little chance of ever getting out of the rut we are in, no country respecting us then vote for more of the same! However if you still believe in our Country being the best, then it’s time to take a whole new direction. I can’t promise it will all be sugar and roses but it’s time to change please Vote Trump!!! Make the change America the Great again!

At least they are going head to head on an actual issue where there can be discussion as to which one is right and which one is wrong. We need more open discussion on other real issues as well. All this name calling and shouting about how great or how terrible one or the other is gets us nowhere. And as an astute manager once said: If you don’t like my idea, present me with a better one. Don’t just tell what is wrong with it, tell me how to fix it.

This was designed to facilitate the One World Government:
Though supposedly formed to regulate and facilitate trade between the 12 nations, the TPP Commission will be granted power and authority that is almost unbelievable. Here are just a few of the things that the TPP will have dictatorial power over: immigration, wealth redistribution, education, human rights, gay rights, same-sex marriage, gun control, health care, women’s reproductive rights, abortion, sustainable development, pollution, wildlife and wetlands, and the authority to give foreign nations complete access to American markets. It will be able to punish nations with multi-billion dollar fines and punish individuals who organize boycotts against products. It is also going to make it illegal to mark a product as “Made in the USA.”

This is fine and good but don’t forget this is not a one issue election.

Most of the attention in this Presidential race is on Trump and Clinton. But Gary Johnson will have an impact on who is elected. For example among active duty military personnel Mr. Johnson leads in one national poll. And his major promise is removal of all US Forces from the Middle East. So the ones doing the fighting are heavily supporting Johnson. Something to consider. Don’t just pay attention to the top two candidates.
GARY says
THE BUSHES & CLINTONS ARE LOWER THAN PIG SHIT!
SO IS COMEY, LYNCH & THE WHOLE SCUMBALL CLINTON FOUNDATION!
VOTE TRUMP….. OR IT’S THE END OF WHAT’S LEFT OF HUMANITY!
