I don't support Trump, and I'm too young to support him anyways, but the reason I'd prefer him over Hillary Clinton is that I don't want a war with Russia or China. Clinton seems like she wants to fight Russia and China (especially China). If we do fight, there will be a draft, and there will be tremendous losses (needless to say.) There will have probably not any major benefits to any side. Trump seems to be inclining to negotiation (especially with Russia), for which some of the Clinton-backers make fun of him for. (I saw that they write unintelligent things such as "Trump kisses Putin's ass".)Also, since I am part Asian, I would be much worse off under Clinton's rule, even without war; as President, she has the power to appoint a Supreme Court justice who will make the college quota for Asians even lower than it is now. The White majority will also be at loss (a smaller one though); some of our chances for college will be given to the Hispanic and Black minority (who generally don't get as good grades in school.) As you know, I have yet to go to college, so this would affect my life tremendously, for I am neither Black or Hispanic.

There are many reasons to be against Hillary Clinton. Some include:- Her terrible voting record- Horrible foreign policy experience and ideas (Donald Trump is no better, except that he has no experience of any kind)- Wall Street and big business connections (Shared by Trump; he's in with these guys just as much as Clinton is)- Lack of willingness to take important steps for the environment, such as banning fracking and/or giving subsidies to alternate energy companies (Trump is even worse, as he thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax)- The fact that she's only progressive when convenient to her; she voted against gay marriage, called black people "super predators", among other things. (Trump has stated and proposed far worse TODAY, as opposed to in the past).With all due respect, actually give their platforms a read before saying things that simply aren't true.Best,Harrison
Your lips are even uglier than Opus43, so ZIP THEM for HEAVEN'S SAKE (or since you're an atheist, for ATHEA'S SAKE). There is absolutely NO REASON to be against Mrs. Clinton. Those who antagonize Clinton are liars and b!tches. Those who support any candidate other than her have ZERO logic or reasoning capability. So SHUT YOUR UGLY MOUTH AND JUST BE QUIET.
You think someone who sued the Onion over a joke article is going to be better at negotiation and have more experience than a woman who, aside from having a degree in law from Yale, served as Secretary of State for 8 years? On what basis do you make this assumption? When has HRC said anything about going to war with them? On the contrary, Trump goes after China all the time and is far more aggressive to them than Hillary is.Again, I pose to you. How does someone who sued Bill Maher for making a joke have any qualifications when it comes to talking things out? The simple fact is that he's a thin skinned narcissist. After the DNC, he said he "wanted to hit those speakers [of the DNC]" because they said mean things about him.He's literally a child.Firstly, the SCOTUS hardly has much say in such a case; higher education is handled almost exclusively at the state level. Second, I highly doubt that, were the Supreme Court to rule on such a minor issue, that it would either a) rule in the direction which you do not like or b) actually be that big of a change.If you think the white majority (which is under no attack, no matter what Fox News might have you believe) is going to suffer because of HRC, please read a book. Or her platform, honestly. You will find no evidence of Hillary Clinton being discriminatory against whites, nor trying to give other races an unfair advantage over whites (as Affirmative Action plans aren't that in the slightest). Ahh, there it is.I hardly think that one SC Ruling would really change your life that much. In addition, if that's all you're worried about with HRC, you're against her for all the wrong reasons.There are many reasons to be against Hillary Clinton.

I think Clinton also makes similar mistakes; it's just some big media (especially ABC News) tends to hide it. ABC News only shows the mistakes Donald Trump makes and they make it seem like such a big deal. For Hillary Clinton, they make posts that make Clinton seem like the perfect human being.
As an authority in the past, Hillary Clinton has been pushing for wars. I see your point in saying Donald Trump can be unstable, but as he's negotiating with Russia, it seems less likely for him to declare war on them.
Also, to me the college issue is a big deal. I really want to go to a nice college (even though they will be very expensive.) Also, I think you're right about state having lots of impact on the colleges (look at what California is doing with college quotas for Chinese Americans vs. other Asian Americans), but the national government has the power to set laws to limit the amount of Asians in colleges.
But I think Clinton will be president, so no need to hate me for preferring Mr. Trump. (And excuse my grammar, I am in kind of a rush.)
I don't think so, honestly. I don't deny that the media really is in favor of Clinton (many media companies are owned by some of her biggest contributors), but I don't think you're going to find anything on Fox News that's praising her. Similarly, on MSNBC, you won't find much in the way of praising Trump; mostly because he doesn't deserve it.I'm completely in agreement that Clinton's foreign policy record is terrible, however, you forget that she would have experience negotiating and enough self control to not completely *** things up. Obama pushed for many of the same wars she did, but he did it in such a way as to not destroy international relations. Again, I wish he hadn't done these wars, but he at least did them with such restraint as to not make us the laughing stock of the world. Trump would not only push for all of these wars (and the fact that he's buddy buddy with Russia is really something I admire), he praises leaders like Putin and late Saddam Hussein. But there is little to no incentive for them to do so. There isn't a pressing issue right now of minority groups being disproportionately accepted into universities based on their minority status.Oh, I don't hate you. And I apologize if I came off that way. s
Hey Ian.You say: "Am I planning to vote for Mr. Trump? A qualified "maybe". I will assuredly not be voting for Mrs. Clinton, however."Which i would posit Is a vote for Trump.You talk about whether they mean what they say. This is what scares me about Trump. I believe he does, and so much more… into the Blackest of holes..As a Bernie supporter, i sincerely hope she is pressured to hold to the agreed upon platform adopted by the Dems. Constant public pressure is the only way. Scariest of times...
to get back on track a little... I am an American citizen now (originally Scottish) and well over the voting age. Am I planning to vote for Mr. Trump? A qualified "maybe". I will assuredly not be voting for Mrs. Clinton, however.I consider three factors when thinking about voting for someone. First, and foremost, their personal ethics and integrity. While neither of the main candidates stacks up very well, I regret to say that from all I can find out, Mrs. Clinton rates a zero in that regard -- which eliminates her from the running in my book right away. Second, their apparent fitness and qualifications for the post (just as I would a new hire, by the way!). That is very difficult to judge of the two principal candidates. Third, a combination of what do they say, and how likely is it that they mean what they say (a variant on the old "how can you tell if a politician is lying? His (or her) lips are moving...). Of the two main candidates, again it is a toss up -- the one says things which I am somewhat more likely to agree with, but seems to have difficulty keeping a constant position, while the other I can't agree with on most points, and also swings with the breezes, but not, perhaps as much.Had Mr. Sanders managed to survive the Democratic National Committee's coronation fest, I would have voted for him -- not because I agree with him, as I don't on most points, but because he is honest and ethical to the core, and means what he says and sticks to it, but is reasonable about listening to differing points of view.

Ian, Welcome to America! Thank you for your post. I only ask questions here.You say: Am I planning to vote for Mr. Trump? A qualified "maybe". I will assuredly not be voting for Mrs. Clinton, however. Even though you are not technically a Trump supporter at this time, I hope you don’t mind if I ask a follow up question.You say: First, and foremost, their personal ethics and integrity. While neither of the main candidates stacks up very well, I regret to say that from all I can find out, Mrs. Clinton rates a zero in that regard -- which eliminates her from the running in my book right away.My question: Will you please list the top THREE specific issues in your mind (example, her private email server) that leads you to believe that Mrs. Clinton rates a zero in regard to personal ethics and integrity? Thank you if you choose to respond.
The alternative is a candidate who, aside from smearing every minority in the country, has pt waid his workers here and abroad either below minimum wage or nothing at all on multiple occasions.
Georgey -- I don't mind answering some questions... but there are some limits. However -- cite three specific instances which give me pause regarding Mrs. Clinton's personal integrity? It would be difficult to point to three specific instances. Rather, it is a matter of an overall record -- accumulated over many years -- of an apparent disdain for anything which gets in her way. The e-mail thing? Not so much, really, that specifically, but rather her responses to it. But that is just one example?And no, there are other people on earth who might rate a 0 on a scale of 0 through 10. That's no excuse!
I think that should do it for me. Thank you!
