Re: trump off the CO ballot
Well, I feel like I vote, and I do so based on my principles, and my assessment of which candidate I feel like best fits the vision of what I want from government.

Re: trump off the CO ballot
You think Trump's revenge fantasies are pointless ? Oh my friend - they have a point. A really fucking big point. They are the purge that precedes him declaring himself dictator. Get rid of your enemies and there will be nobody to stop you seizing ultimate power, which is what all his rhetoric about...
