As for post election violence, if anything I think that will come down the road when disaffected people who support HC (I'm mainly thinking of BLM, illegal aliens, and underemployed millennials) realize that there will not be any freebies forthcoming. What we may see is that the most conservative states begin to simply pass on more and more federal funding in order to avoid the mandates that accompany the acceptance of those funds, which will lead to people who depend on the programs supported by that funding migrating to already cash strapped/bankrupt states.

If Kentucky were to do that..there would be mass homelessness and hunger in eastern Kentucky. I'm not kidding. And people here don't have any way to leave, or anywhere to go. It is a bad situation. And it is all the democrats fault. Shutting down the coal industry without having any real plans in place for the millions of people living in Appalachia, was a stupid and heartless thing to do. It is a artificial poverty here.

I probably should've said that the reason I identified three groups in my preceding post is that those are the three groups that I've seen engaged in violent protests (what I'd call riots) on the news in the past couple of years.

As for turning down federal funding, it would be difficult in a lot of the southern states but there are a several states out west that could probably pull it off.

^You're 100% correct. The poverty level and prescription pill/meth/heroin abuse here is abysmal. I live in Claiborne Co. just across the state line. What is incredible to me is there are still a few here including blacks that support Hillary Capone and dimocrats. Scared they'll lose that free lunch.

edit: I do agree with the person you responded to though. We are going to see some "Balkanization" in the country as if we are two nations. If Hillary starts that anti gun nonsense and more anti coal crap it could get really ugly really fast.

First they destroy the lifeblood of the economy here, and that ensures dependence on them for the housing, food and medical care...it really is a brilliant strategy. Heartless and cruel, but still it is brilliant.

Supreme Court appointments are a big deal. Even the district and circuit court appointments are important.

12 years straight (potentially 16 if she were re-elected in 2020) of liberal appointments to the bench would completely redefine the country we live in.

I'm not a Trump "fan" but Clinton scares the hellouttame.

they both do hence my libertarian vote...it seems I am one of the few that is not willing to sacrifice my values to keep out the lesser evil. Thats akin to voting for Stalin to keep Hitler out.

Then you can't complain when Hillary is elected and appoints liberal judges and screws **** up.

Voting 3rd party, or not voting at all will not keep evil from being elected it will only promote it. We have an opportunity to oust career politicians, which imo have hurt the US the most, we do not need the same status quo.

Possibly the difference in an election, which is the difference in abortion laws, which is the difference in saving lives.

(Assuming your christian/pro life)

Just saying that conservatives have stayed home the last couple election cycles because we have not liked our candidate while the libs have been able to rally around anyone they nominate, but not us and that has to change in order to take back our country

In Tennessee, no difference at all. In 2012 Romney won TN by half a million votes. 2 counties went blue. In 2008, McCain carried the state by 400,000 votes and only 6 counties went blue.

Tennessee is one of the states where you can't really argue that using voting for a 3rd party is a waste. It's going to go red. By a lot.

3rd parties have to get 5% of votes to receive federal funding. TN is a state that will have little, if any impact on the end result of the election. There's no harm done in voting for a 3rd party in TN and arguably much more to be gained than a vote for Dems or the GOP.

Overrated maybe before Obama and his executive order style. dictator Obama is more like it. He did whatever the heck he wanted to regardless of the system approval or not. Obama is everything he says trump is.

Foreign countries laugh at us.
Healthcare is at all time high. Paying high premiums for minimal coverage. They don't cover anything.
Obamacare is laughable. I don't know why anyone pays that crap. It's reported as taxable income. You better off taking the penalty it is cheaper

FTR, Obama has used fewer executive orders than Bush, Clinton, and Reagan and has used fewer per year in office than any president since Grover Cleveland.


Executive orders are fine. Plenty of good presidents have used a lot of them. What needs to be changed badly is presidential memorandum, which Obama has used probably more than any president in history. Problem is that, unlike Executive Orders, they don't have to be registered, so it's difficult to keep count and track of everything the Exective Branch is doing.

Sadly, despite Trumps words, I don't see either of these candidates doing much about that.

Maybe it was never noticed with the other presidents but the reasons Obama has used executive orders has been bothersome. Whenever Congress won't do what he wants... executive order time

Congress has done something?? This has been the most do nothing Congress I have seen in my 78 years of living. Remember, only about 9% of people approve of what our Senate and House has done in the last 4 years.
