The third thread! But I have been posting on many others, so you have seen me around quite a bit!
But it is quite ironical you calling me out for posting threads, when the last thing you said to me before you left last time was how terrible I was because I never started threads. Well, I was pretty sick, physically and I didn't have a lot of passion or energy back then.
Or are you objecting because I am so against Trump? In every single thing I post, in mention that Hillary is not much better. I'm in the "neither" of them group, really! Except this forum is so unbalanced for Trump, I thought it needed some objective perspective!
As as to the claims that I am "left" wing, have been influenced by the left wing media (horrors!!) not so much.
I do not ever watch Canadian news media. I do read the local news on-line, the stuff about fires and car crashes in Highway 33. I do read a lot of posts on FB by Americans, intelligent Christians who are pastors, seminary professors and educators. They all oppose Trump because he is not conservative nor Christian. Many are not voting, or voting third party. I thought that was a good choice, until I read Gary Johnson's policy statements, and didn't agree with a lot if it, although he might be good for the economy!
In fact, I really formed my intense dislike of Trump during the primaries. I ended up visiting my son the businessman in Calgary and he constantly had the TV on American networks covering the Republucan races. Trump was interviewed, long clips from his speeches, for what seemed like forever. Sometimes I had to leave the room Trump disgusted me so much. I was also stunned that my intelligent and educated son was so enthralled with him.
It was Trump's narcissism, his boorishness, his inability to talk or articulate anything, that turned me off to Trump. We even watched a lot of FOX news reports, and Trump continued to behave like someone who just wanted to stir things up, not present him self as a credible human bring, let alone candidate! It was the most bizarre bandwagon I have ever seen, and Trump himself was the reason, the only reason I am against him.
But mostly I kept my mouth shut. Maybe I was given the wrong sound bites, or maybe he did have a brain in his head, who was I to judge?
Then came the debate last Monday! Everything I despised about that rude bully came back to me. I saw an immature spoiled child pouting, interrupting, and totally unbriefed in every topic except his income taxes, which he bragged about being so smart about avoiding paying taxes. Today I read someone speculating Trump lost so much money in 1995 that he is still writing off the loss against his taxes. Just speculation, of course, but there has to be some reason Trump won't release them.
My husband and I got sicker and sicker the longer the debate went on. Trump just stuck his foot in his mouth, and between his ignorance about any of the topics, his boorish behaviour all night, he kept on biting that foot. He convinced me anew that as President, he could lead to the demise of the USA! And he is not even conservative! Hubby is extremely conservative and he was totally repulsed by his behaviour.
My businessman/accountant son phoned after the debate. Was he supporting Trump any more? He said he was the most incoherent and inarticulate person he had ever seen, and Gary Johnson needed to be in the next debate!
So no! I am not liberal, do not watch liberal media, or any media at all! Trump is the one who renewed my conviction that he is nothing resembling a statesman, and Canada would also be in trouble too, if he is elected!
Besides, you have not seen the queue of articles I have waiting to post here. Hillary would never be my choice, based on policies, but Trump should not be elected because of his total lack of character and ethics!
