I have many conservative friends. Republicans, Independents, even some fiscally financial conservative Democrats. They are good people. They work hard. They own businesses, they are raising families or have already raised them and are trying to enjoy the time they have left. They are intelligent hard working businessmen and women. They choose to worship god diligently, privately, quietly, and some not at all. Along with unhappy Americans they have chosen to support Donald Trump in his quest for the Presidency.
Herein is where the problem lies.
Trump has tried to position himself as the peoples choice. The one who is outside of political influence and above being bought and paid for. He is the non establishment candidate. He has proven throughout his candidacy that he is unquestionably the non establishment candidate. He has polarized and brought out record numbers of new registered voters who were all hoping to believe in a candidate who would be different, and better than those same old choices from previous years. These new voter also ares smart, hard working young and old Americans who believe that this is one of the most important Presidential races of our time. These people have been insulted and treated horribly by those from the left who have supported Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Not because they are bad people, but because they chose to support somebody from outside the proverbial box.
Herein is where the problem Lies.
Throughout this presidential race Donald Trump has on many times been too flamboyant, too loud, too rude, and too dis respectful to everyone who has dared to challenge him. I have to admit that I was a Trump supporter at the start. I also am smart enough to "hide and watch" until the race is drawing to and end before I cast my vote. The absolute tragedy about Donald Trump is that he was given the opportunity to do something truly good for this country. Truly good for the millions of new voters who have come out to support him. They have supported him faithfully throughout all his missteps. He has consistently stepped on them, ignored their questions, and insulted their intelligence. His comment today calling on some of his 2nd amendment friends to possibly take care of Hillary Clinton has gone too far. The insult to the supporters of the 2nd amendment is the biggest slap in the face of all. They are not violent assassins. They are also hard working law abiding tax paying citizens with a deep belief in the laws and constitution of this country. At this time he has become the single most embarrassing being that lives in America. He acts like the schoolyard bully who knocks down smaller and afflicted children just because he can because he hasnt been challenged in so long he believes that he cant be.
Its time to pull the plug on his 15 minutes of fame. Its time for once, as Americans that we all come together and find a way to remove this scourge from our country. He is not only insulting Hillary Clinton, he is insulting every one of us. Especially those who chose to support him and give him a chance based on his promise to provide change from the status quo. WE all deserve better than this. Not because of how we look in the eyes of the world. I dont give one shit about that. I am talking about having pride in American, respecting the election process and above all, doing the right thing. I dont know if we have to sign a petition, start a movement, March at his rally's whatever it takes its time he was shown the door and by the way dont let it hit you in the ass on the way out.

Some Clarification seems Necessary.
I am writing this post to present a little clarity on my views during this Presidential Election.
This has been a truly historic cycle of events. We have a completely unqualified Republican candidate who entered this race with a 1% chance of winning the Republican nomination. His campaign has brought record numbers of newly registered voters into the political process. Running on no platform at all except not being a political insider. One who bowed to party pressure before the GOP convention so that he could receive financial support from the RNC for the general election. Picking a vice presidential candidate who by any judge of human rights is a total failure. Trump has also agreed to represent a GOP party platform that specifically calls for supreme court appointments and reversal on hard fought for and earned civil rights in this country. Recently he has appointed a new spokeswoman who has openly campaigned against LGBT rights. Worst of all. He has become a total media maniac. They hang on his every word and report about what he says every minute of the day. I originally hoped that after the GOP convention he would show some human character traits and not continue to behave like a schoolyard bully who desperately needs to have the living shit kicked out of him. I dont know any household in the United States where anyone would be allowed to behave the way he does. Frankly its time somebody put a boot in his ass and their fist in his mouth and taught his some manners.
On the Democratic side we have had history making events as well. The First Woman nominated to a major political party. Also from one of the most political corrupt families in recent U.S. history. From her involvement in the Whitewater real estate scheme, The White house travel and transportation debacle, He daughter is married to the son whose father is serving 80 plus years in prison for one of the worlds largest ponzi schemes. Her newly appointed campaign manager, who also handled her first presidential bid, is implicated in the current DNC e mail hacking scandel. To her vice presidential pick who was in charge of the DNC is a devout christian who is just as bad in his own way as Mike Pence. He will give you all the rights you think you deserve all the while taking your money and giving it to those he feels are less fortunate than you, Clinton had to battle a self admitted Socialist who also brought millions of new voters to the election scene who have never voted before. Also selling out at the last minute to try and unify the party so that Trump could be defeated. Lets not even take the time to discuss the fact that she has taken money from foreign governments, and superpacs that are funded by countries that continue to brutally kill and oppress women, LGBT, and Religious minorities.
Everything about this election is purely politics as usual. The American public is getting screwed while the two major political parties ignore what the voters are telling them. This election is strictly about those old political parties fighting for their own agendas at the cost of the American public.
The LGBT community and the minorities believe that Trump is the Devil and Clinton is their savior. The scary thing is Trump doesnt care what people think, and Clinton will tell you anything as long as she wins your vote and the American people are too stupid or too lazy to see the obvious evidence that is right in front of their eyes.
What is very true about this election is that it will have historic importance on the make up of the Supreme Court of the future. The Supreme Court is in place to without bias interpret the laws as they are written and apply those laws without bias when cases are brought before them. Something that they find increasingly hard to do. There is already one empty seat and Judge Ginsberg cannot live forever. So the next elected President could very well appoint two Supreme Court justices that will shape the laws of this country for years to come. This is were the serious issue lie. I believe that both Trump and Hillary have shown evidence of the ability to be bought for the right amount of money as long as it helps them achieve their personal goals and agendas.
Unlike most Americans today. I am not happy with the way our country is headed and I think vast reforms are needed. I am not happy with the status quo, or the choices that are being forced upon us. When I post videos in support of equal rights for the LGBT community it is because that is one of the issues that concerns me. Trust me I am not supporting Clinton in any way. I also cannot bring myself to vote for Trump, a man who has openly sold out to the far right in charge of the Republican party. I will vote for the third party candidate Johnson. You may think it is a waste of a vote, but I choose to view it as a statement of how unhappy I am with this country and our two political parties in charge. If enough people vote maybe the powers that be will see that a vast number of Americans are not happy with the way things have been handled.
I assure you the platform that the far religious right has pushed through at the RNC, is just the beginning. They will push harder and spend money like they are printing it if Clinton is elected. We need to fight for equal rights, banking reform, manufacturing jobs,a fair health care system, fair tax laws, and fixing our educations system which is broken from top to bottom.
