[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 33914, member: 121"] Trump will say whatever he needs to say to get the votes. Or he'll say whatever suits him in a particular situation and then flip flop later on ("electoral college is a disaster," "death penalty for Julian Assange," etc.) And his views are often under the influence of whatever last person he's met with. In fact the only matter where he's displayed consistency appears to be his defiant and highly suspicious bromance with Putin, despite the vocal outcry on both sides of the political spectrum. In other words, he was better at lying -- for instance, let's see what magic wand he uses to bring back those coal mining jobs he promised or what those workers, many of whom have or will have developed terminal illness because of the very jobs they want desperately back (apparently it's easier to get a check now and die a slow death later than learn new skills), say when they lose their healthcare. That's a meaningless gesture when one of those two mainstream party candidates was going to win regardless. You can't possibly punish both of them. At the end of the day you're still lifting one and obstructing the other. As much as you want to be above it, you're still deep in it. [/QUOTE]
