I live in Canada so I don't get to vote for a new president obviously but with these recent terrorist attacks and the ones from before I would elect Trump because he will close the borders from Syrian refugees and he would bomb the shit out of the middle East and hopefully put an end to all this. It wont be much longer until Canada is taken over by ISIS for our oil and because of how easy it is to get into Canada. Then all of North America is done.


So lets vote Trump

Bombing isn't working against ISIS. The US has dropped 20,000 bombs on (what is suppose to be) ISIS. The Air Force even said that we are running out of bombs to drop. Also, I highly doubt ISIS can take over Canada, much less the US and Mexico on top of that. While the bombing isn't working against them, they will most likely never be strong enough to put up an actual fight. I'd also rather stay away from the candidate(s) that are happy to commit war crimes. Trump wants to target the families of terrorists. You can't just go targeting civilians. I want to stay out of there as much as possible. I understand that the US can help with it, but we don't need to be doing what we have been (or worse.)

And how exactly do you think all of this will be over if the US "bombs the shit out of them"? You do know there is ISIS followers all around the world.

Not to mention if you bombed the middle east innocent people will die.

In the declaration of war, citizen deaths are not war crimes. Citizen casualties are an unfortunate consequence to war. The Air Force has said we are running out of bombs but did not say how effective all of the bombs that have been dropped have been, which is pretty successful. Almost every week on the news is that a US led bombing has killed a leader of the radical Islamic terrorist group ISIS. Do not make assumptions off of your own opinions, use facts. Also to touch on the fact that ISIS could potentially take over the US or Canada, I agree with you to the point where they would not actual take over the US or Canada but will do so with fear of Bombings and terrorist attacks. It is only a matter of time before they start hitting us with what happened in Belgium today. That is what Trump is trying to stop. ISIS is out to get Americans and you want to just let them go right ahead? How patriotic.

Accidental civilian casualties in war is not a war crime. Purposeful use of force against civilians, which is what Trump advocates, is a war crime. Trump even acknowledges that what he advocates is against the law because he says that the laws need to be 'expanded.'

So you want the bombing to continue so more Muslims in the Middle East become radicalized due to us murdering their families which gives them a reason to attack and kill us? How patriotic.

Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions seems to disagree with you there. It outlaws indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations, which means directly attacking civilian, non-military, targets. Trump doing as he said would seem to be illegal, as it clearly should.

In 2014, the CIA said there was about 20,000 to 30,000 ISIS fighters. In January of this year, Col. Warren has estimated that there are 20,000 to 30,000 fighters still. Unless someone screwed up royally, that doesn't sound like the bombs are working. You can kill the leaders, but others are there to take their place. With more bombings comes more hatred, which then produces more fighters.

Do I want terrorist attacks in the US? Of course not. That'd be absurd. I'm just not going to be driven by pure hate and fear and do something irrational like keep doing something that doesn't work and then threaten to bomb their families (which would be counterproductive to do.) If ISIS does manage to bomb our civilians, that does not give us the right to bomb their civilians. Civilians are civilians, no matter the country.

They are both idiots. Welcome to America.


I'm not voting in this election, however, I would really like to know why you would vote for Bernie Sanders, even though he will not be the nominee.

His tax plan is absolutely ridiculous and anyone that is successful and makes somewhat good money will be taxed hard. He is also in favor of free college, free healthcare, as well as $15/hr minimum wage, which is just ridiculous.


The reason he will tax them is because THEY MAKE MORE MONEY. He is smart, the more you make, I think the more you need to pay taxes. Like a set number. So, like everyone says, it really doesn't matter on the minimum wage, as everything fluctuates according to minimum wage ($15 Minimum wage = higher everything according to what minimum wage is). So, tell me, healthcare isn't good? Having that free wouldn't help you, your family, friends? Same with free college. Isn't free college good?


Why should people have to pay more in taxes just because they worked harder and are more successful? A person making one million per year should pay no more than the person that is make $75k per year. Why should someone who is clearly successful be penalized and have to pay more?

Healthcare is good, college is good, just not for free. Who would be paying for all of this? You do realize providing free healthcare and free college would cost trillions of dollars, right?

My main problem with Sanders is that he goes by the motto "If you have one, I should have one," which is totally false. Not everyone on this planet should/is equal. The people that work the hardest should make the most, and the people that do the least amount of work should have the least.


I see where college and healthcare could be problematic, but, as of know, the rich pay less, if any, taxes than hardworking men and women.

This is the problem, and Cruz, Trump, or Rubio (If he was still running) would not help this ANY.

There are a ton of loopholes that the rich use to avoid paying a high amount of taxes.

Donald Trump, though I hate him as a person, He's the only one we will see any change with. He won't be here for more than 4 year if he does win, but with a stable staff I think he's the less of all evils. Sanders may be a man for the people, but his economical policies are miserable. Hillary is a villain, and I've personally hated her for years. I caucused for Kasich, but he's no longer in the picture.
