    • lols... I am sure that he is happy Hillary is not President. I can't see him being okay with a Clinton Presidency.

      • Let's face it, the Trumpsters will never be called classy. Yesterday I mentioned a columnist who compared me to the people that crucified Jesus Christ, Psycho is here in IHTM calling me a prick, and Oldren thinks it's classy to rub my nose in it, as though I gave a hoot which one of these lowlifes won. At some point, now that Trump is the president-elect, let's hope he and his supporters can find a hidden source of wisdom because otherwise it's gonna be a long four years.

        • Bill Whittle made a good point in his latest videos that we are all Americans and we need to come together.

    • Aw... leave JP alone. I admit I had heartburn over voting for Trump, too. But I told myself I was voting AGAINST Hilliary instead of FOR Trump. I'm hoping he surrprises us and is a decent president.

      • The Christians who were prophesying his win against all odds, well if true, he will do a good job... let's pray... let's pray.

  • I WILL say this however: This is a good documentary to watch. So I DO thank JP for posting. Trump has a lot of faults and I am not happy with Trump at all. Some of the women however were discredited, and that wasn't mentioned in this documentary so right away the documentary has issues and probably other issues as well that I don't care to make the time to find out. It obviously has an agenda and it is what it is. With that said, it is sad to say that I believe Hillary to be worst. As for me as for my actions... I may have to vote Republican but leave the President empty and let G-D do His thing. I just have to pray and just be ready for whatever is going to happen. There is no way that I am voting Democrat and there is no way in heck that I will vote for Hillary and I certainly won't avoid voting. If she wins I want to put my part that I don't want her to have the people in Congress for her to do her bullshit mafia moves on us.

    • I'm beginning to believe more and more that God is using Trump, at least I hope it's God. Several of us wanted Cruz to be the nominee, but would he have been able to overcome the Clinton machine. She is an insider with an established ground game that would be very hard to beat. Cruz, like Trump would not get the help needed from the establishment RNC. Cruz would be criticized heavily in the MSM for his strong faith, which the left has been able to use effectively in the past, to create fear of a theocracy. You have to admit Cruz's father is a little out there. Trump will win this election, decisively, and a big part of that win will be democratic votes. This is the edge. It will be the hidden landslide that overcomes the voter fraud and ground game efforts of the Clinton machine and money. Cruz would have made a good run but I don't believe he would have created the big tent that Trump has. You have to admit, Trump has slyly and effectively used the media to further his campaign. He has worked hard. Yesterday he had 5 rallies in 5 states and just as many today the eve of election day. Most are battleground states but he is also moving into what used to be solid blue states. The man has been amazing to watch. I voted early for Trump and I'm excited to be part of a very patriotic movement. His presidency may be a different story, but I don't think so.

    • You sound more and more like me, Grasshopper. Soon you will look in the mirror and see me, and my work here will be done.

  • Okay... but the Clintons are worst. They are an actual mafia family who I really believe have actually had people murdered. Trump is not perfect and he does have a shady past not just on the sexual things, but also his treatment of minorities. This has been the strangest election cycle. Many lessons will be learnt from this (maybe). I just find that the real problems now is that the most corrupt family is about to get control of the white house again and we are not doing anything about that.

  • Interesting, love all the half truths, can't even be honest. Mexican lawyer who you accused of his racism is a member of a Mexican organization that believes southwest was stolen by the U S and wants it back. Would be definitely against a wall.

    • Who is "you"? And no, he is NOT a member of such an organization. He was born in Ohio. Seriously, dude, this controversy is months old now and the notion that the judge is some sort of Mexican separatist has been thoroughly debunked. This is the kind of willful ignorance that drives me crazy.

  • I've really enjoyed the discussion on this page and want to toss in my 2 cents. I was sick of society before being a sociopath was cool. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012. I thought Scott Walker was a good choice a year ago and I voted for Ted Cruz in the NC primary hoping to get rid of Trump. After an awful lot of the same soul searching everyone else has been doing I finally decided to go ahead and vote for Trump because I realized that if I didn't vote, and I woke up on Wednesday afternoon and found out that Hillary Clinton had earned her 270th electoral vote by wining North Carolina by ONE VOTE.... I would have to drink a bottle of ammonia.

  • I have not vote for a presidential candidate since 1984. Every other election I have been voting against the Democrat. This time around I really feel stuck. If I don't vote for Trump I feel as though I am giving HRC a shot at winning.

    • That is the common feeling among people like us that KNOW that Trump has failings, but cannot abide not even the idea of such a corrupt family (The Clintons) being in the White House (again). They have quadrupled their intriguing and corrupt ways. We all know it. They will sell us down the river. They will be a destructive force in this country.

      • On a positive note, the Clinton's are so greedy for money they'll be too busy selling the White House to ruin the country as much as Obama did.

        • You are dreaming if you believe that. Obama golfed and vacation lots and still managed to do damage, their mafia ways will be far worse.

    • I hear you. I hear it from everyone I know. My question is: how do we tell the powers that be that we won't accept this shit anymore? For me the answer is to leave the presidential part of the ballot blank. If we don't figure out how to send some kind of message, they will keep giving us the same ol' same ol'.

        • If enough of us did it, maybe it would. And enough of us doing it has to start somewhere with one man doing it.

          And by the way that's pretty much the way most important cases of doing-the-right-thing start, with people telling you it won't make a difference. Saw Hacksaw Ridge last night. Best movie I've seen in years. Desmond Doss had everybody around him telling him he was crazy and what he was doing made no sense, to the point where the Army court martialed him and he thought he was going to Leavenworth. But he just kept doing what he thought was right. In the end, the guys in his company who initially despised him and considered him a coward, wouldn't go up that ridge without him.

  • Everyone has their own opinion of Trump, at least he isn’t a lifetime politician.
    Only time will tell if he keeps his promises.
    It’s for sure the country will continue to decline if Hillary wins.
    And, most of all; the assholes ruining this country all hate Trump, that makes him a winner right there.

          • Certainly, but Jeffrey Dahmer serial murderer and rapist vs. bombastic living his life in the public for 60 odd years (allegedly) sexually creepy but not (proven) rapist and shady business billionaire dude...

            There are character flaws and then there is serial murderer and rapist.... just saying...

  • JP you are one of the biggest POS I have ever ran across, I am going to love watching you are the rest of the Trump haters cry and piss themselves when he wins.

      • When did the Republican party turn into the mob mentality of the Left?

        This election has been so depressing because it doesn't matter who wins Conservatism, our last best hope, loses.

        • That's why I'm so angry. We had a conservative revolution going on, in direct response to the Obama presidency, and it was hijacked and misdirected into this farce: Hillary versus Trump. Same thing happened in 2012. 2010 was revolutionary, remember? An historic sweep by conservatives, and who did they give us to vote for in the 2012 presidential election? THE ONLY GUY WHO COULDN'T RUN AGAINST OBAMACARE! A LEFTWING REPUBLICAN UNWILLING TO SAY WHAT NEEDED TO BE SAID... probably because he doesn't really believe in conservatism. The whole thing is a scam, engineered by big government establishment people in D.C. to make damn sure we don't have a conservative president ever again.

          • I hadn't even thought it that way, but you are so right. And I did t think I could get anymore depressed.

      • Read your anti-Trump piece at your website. As a Cruz guy, I'm still interested in hearing a real argument from an anti-Trumper - particularly when the alternative is someone far worse. I can't agree with some of your points. Comparing a business, particularly the volatile building and entertainment business to the stock market value - which has been manipulated by low interest rates is an unfair measure of business ability. The most common attack on Trump I read is "he won't get rid of the illegals cause ....". As you very well know, the only other Republican who claimed he would enforce immigration law was Cruz, who, while brilliant, is rather lacking on the charisma scale and needs more experience. So you don't think Trump will throw out all the illegals? Neither do I. That would be a disaster on a number of levels. I do think he will finally seal the borders and that can be accomplished fairly easily and cheaply by bringing in more ICE, threatening sanctuary cities with fed funding cuts and putting repeat border offenders in jail . I can't go into detail here and don't have the time anyway, but I leave you with this:

        • The title of the YouTube documentary says it all. Sociopaths are charming at times, can be very good at saying what people want to hear, but in the final analysis never mean anything they say, never live up to their promises, and ultimately serve only their own interests. People seem intent upon reading into Donald Trump what they want him to be, not what he actually is. Illegal aliens, free enterprise, smaller government, end of Obamacare, none of what his supporters THINK he stands for is actually what he stands for. It's mass delusion. There isn't one iota of difference between the philosophy of Donald Trump and the philosophy of Hillary Clinton. Both of them believe in government solutions, national health care, amnesty for illegals, and special privileges for political insiders and the wealthy.

          As for my column's indictment of Trump's business acumen, since I wrote that I've learned that it's even worse than I thought. Tell you what, give me ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of a business enterprise at which Trump was successful.

          • We'll just have to see what happens when he gets into office, because there is no turning this back. The polls have been very wrong. He will win with a landslide. That documentary is scary, but it still doesn't scare me as much as Hillary.

          • Your argument:
            A:Trump = sociopath
            B: all sociopaths lie about everything and never do anything they said they are going to do.

            Therefore:
            C:Trump will do nothing he said he will do.

            Supposition "B" is false on it's face. "C" doesn't follow.

          • For the one millionth time, not liking Trump does not mean a person likes Hillary. Not only is that an illogical conclusion, it buys into the system that gives us this sort of choice. THAT'S what I'm against, the system that for the last seven presidential elections gave us no choice but big government candidates.

            And, also for the one millionth time, if the best argument you can dredge up for Trump is that he's not Hillary, that tells me all I need to know about what a pathetic human being he is.

          • So your rebuttal is to defend sociopaths? Maybe they aren't so bad? Lovely. Unfortunately your implied counter-argument that maybe Trump will be a harmless sociopath who does what he says he is going to do, is contraindicated by his personal history which comprises a lifetime of lying, cheating, and causing harm to people around him. Seems insane to give a man who has caused so much grief already, MORE power and ability to cause grief. I notice you ignored my challenge to provide one single example of a successful Trump business venture. But here's another challenge you can ignore: give me one example of a political position that Trump has ever failed to contradict either with words or actions... so that maybe you can support with facts (that would be nice) the notion that he meant what he said even once in his life.

          • From the beginning I've maintained that Trump is the second coming of Schwarzenegger and we both know how that turned out for Kalifornia. There are different levels of sociopathy and I doubt very much that you are getting your information about Trump from neutral sources. I'm sorry you seem to have gotten spun around the axle on it, but I don't have time to spend arguing with someone who's clearly already made up their mind. You can bask in the glow of "I told you so" should Trump get elected and go all "sociopath". Good on ya for voting your conscience.
