That's way too much work.
Hell, all you gotta do is cast a vote for Gary Johnson, and even that seems to be too much work to do.

Because we fat and happy!!!!
I was just telling my wife last night that I've never once thought about the future of the country as an issue... for the first time I have a small feeling of concern about our government. I see major economic and international issues coming our way.

The Clinton Campaign took to Twitter today to denounce their affiliation with all of this. However, someone was able to tie previously released Wikileaks information directly to people in O'Keefe's video.
I don't know who Christina Diggins is... but this is some next level PI stuff... well done...

one main reason we're fat and happy is because we have a big gov't that keeps getting bigger that continues to supply social programs for those 'in need' which is essentially the equivalent of buying votes.
this has happened to just about every world power since the beginning of time. socialistic/big gov't policies cause the masses to become lazier and more risk averse and we stop taking risks necessary to grow/defend. then younger and hungrier and more ballsy societies/groups come around and become the new leaderships.
the difference for us is that we've found ways to use our military and technology to suppress that. but that can't last forever because eventually we won't be able to afford it.

looking at Donald quotes this one is gold (and obviously old)
“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
what a dumb ass. and hes in the final 2 to run the US

Both candidates have about a million quotes/stories we can laugh and/or cry at.

It's a personal email between her and Podesta about Hillary...
And I still want HRC to win badly. I am still here to help as I can. She came over and was magical with my kids.

Final debate tonight.
Hillary Clinton has invited billionaire Mark Cuban and billionaire HP CEO Meg Whitman.
Donald Trump has invited Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, and Malik Obama, Barack's half-brother.
Tell me again who is taking money and in bed with big business (j/k).

What's the story with Obama's half brother?

the beauty of all this is that this is the pain that leads to progress.
all this has been going on forever but with access to information we can all be on 'similar' playing fields and weed out the bad apples. the problem with all of that is those in power don't just 'give up power' they will find other ways to distract and change the story.

Going with that theory, it's as if we're in a race in this ballgame. Can society maximize the ability to have a similar playing field before those in power seize enough control to use enough influence/persuasion to mask everything? That goes back to my comment from earlier... I think Clinton wins, but eventually gets impeached. I don't think the time is now, but I'm optimistic that the time will come.

I go back to my previous question, who's next after Clinton or do we not know yet who the next political rock star will be?
There has to be some college kid out there that are smart enough and charismatic enough to see the game Obama played to be a popular guy, speak fantastically and connect with a younger voting pool and not alienate oldies as well.

BTW... I think the Trump campaign has really done a good job over the last 3 weeks putting out good plans for his strategies. Whether I agree with them or not is a different story. But they explain many of the things he's commented on. Of course, all of this is going unnoticed because of the hoopla.
With that said, I don't expect any substantial policy debate tonight. I think this is going to be a bloodbath. Hillary is going in hard on his taxes and sexual allegations and Donald is going to try to hammer her on corruption connections, military and finally go after her on Benghazi. This debate is going to be 0% about policy differences and 100% about impacting voter emotion.
