Daily show asked Trump supporters some searching questions... I loved the identical Hillary photos... and Bill Clinton & Magic Johnson...
I saw that yesterday, was very amusing...but I suspect you could go to any rally, anywhere in the world and find similar levels of stupidity and ignorance.
There are heaps of those for all candidates. All it does is show that there are some seriously stupid people in the US. I'm sure the Daily Show will do the same skit when it asks Clinton supporters similar questions. Or not.

@taniwharugby Yep. Just think next time when you find yourself talking to someone of "average intelligence". Approximately 50% of the world's population are stupider than this prick.

Clinton isn't a little better or a safe pair of hands. She's farking terrible and on par if not worse than Trump.
How?
Which policies of hers would you say are unsafe? EG he has suggested using Nukes against ISIS.. what comparable policy of hers is similarly unsafe?
He suggested Japan & Korea should develop nukes. Ditto.
I get the Trump logic of suggesting they are equally dangerous, I've just never seen anyone lay out a direct comparison show equivilant threat levels from what they want to do. But I'd love to hear it.
Cmon Gollum. There is about as much chance of you or I being serviced by Ivanka than Trump nuking Isis. That isn't a policy, it's a thought bubble.
So you have nothing, you are basing the idea Hillary is as dangerous as Trump on literally zero of her policies (and she has laid her policies out really clearly) and totally ignoring everything he has ever said.
Thats rational & well thought through.

Once again you reveal how you never actually bother to read something properly. I never said one was more dangerous than the other. The word I used was WORSE.
Despite being shit candidates I don't think either is dangerous from a blow up the world pov.
Why is Clinton arguably WORSE? Well she is arguably WORSE because of her appalling history of corrupt and very dodgy behaviour. And that's before we even get into the email thing and the question mark on her health. The fact she's such a tainted individual is one on the primary reasons she could lose this thing.
As for her policies, would they be the ones so masterfully and professionally laid out by her campaign manager?

We even have Winger as a scientific control. Every good experiment needs one.

You said she wasn't a safe pair of hands, and she was as bad as Trump. Again, there's no way anyone can look at her policies & his & go "well, they are equally troubling to the world"
Seriously, a guy who is promoting the idea of an expansion in the number of nuclear states - especially in the South China sea, and who wants to loosen the conditions for nuke use is equally dangerous as someone with bad email security & a hidden does of the flu.
This has been the Trump supporters policy right through, the idea that all their flaws (and the both have a lot) are the same level, the idea they are equally unqualified & risky. But its bullshit.
She took cash from banks (in line with every other global polititian), he took it from the fucking mafia (in line with Silvio Berlusconi & Putin), she hid the flu, he had his gastroenterologist write a mispelled letter while Trump waited in a limo & Trump then attributed it to the doctors (dead) father, she released her tax returns, he wont, He founded Trump university which is being sued, she was sec of state when the US killed Bin Laden, - but they are equally bad etc.
Do I trust her? No of course not. But I don't see her doing anything in 4 years that will materially damage the world or the US. Him on the other hand, even if you actually like the idea of a social war on any group not a white male (and many do), the global implications are off the scale. I don't get how any NZer could (financially) embrace the rise of guy advocating protectionism & trade wars for example, that'll help us how?.
