Trump or Clinton? Why?
So many people are quick to say, "Trump 2016!" or, "Go Hillary!" but when asked why they support these candidates, they have nothing to back up their answer. What is your reason and why do you support Trump/Clinton?

Trump, he's got a track record of real success with some failures as would anyone, but the failures are so few that it's easy to remember them. How many people do you know that started up a business other than a Profession that failed? How any businesses over any given period of time have you seen open and close in a strip mall or store front? To get where Trump has gone you cannot fail on an average rate, but instead you must succeed at an abnormal rate which wouldn't include luck by the sheer numbers. Hillary on the other hand has only somewhat succeeded in getting elected to office, and has pretty much failed at everything else.

I don't want Trump because he is a total clown and not even a great businessman. I have no idea what his positions on anything are because he often will take 3 different positions in the same week.
I like Clinton
#1 Because I have a serious health condition. Republicans always make me feel like my health insurance should be taken away from me. Democrats are more interested in giving me a chance.
#2 More likely to use diplomacy first than a republican would. Trump is despised by foreign countries and not likely to be well received anywhere.
#3 Democrats are more likely to pass tax cuts and incentives to help me. Republicans believe in using taxes to punish anyone not rich.

Trump - focus on debt, immigration, and accountability. Currently, there's none by either party. Will Trump do it? Who knows. With Hillary; well she's is an exaggerated form of what the problem is.

Like a majority of Americans, I support Clinton (or WHOEVER the Democratic Party candidate is) simply because I am patriotic enough to own US stocks, and smart enough to know that the US stock market does FAR better on average during Democratic Administrations than it does during Republican Administrations.....
The evidence; https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=bulls+bears+d...
ALL Democrats generally support the Democratic nominee....
And most numerate Republicans who own US stocks hold their noses and support the Democratic nominee Though they vote for Republicans for Congress)....
If you want a reliable way to "predict" who will win, simply look up what percentage of Americans own domestic stocks....if it is below 50%, the Republican will win....if it is ABOVE 50%, the Democrat will win....

Hillary clinton was secretary of state and a US Senator. Her policies and positions are sensible and mainstream. Trump hasn't even served on a school board. And his policies and positions are vague and change often.

I will hold my nose and vote for Hillary, or vote for a third party candidate.
People don't have to give anyone else their reasons for supporting a candidate.. It is a personal choice.

Both suck. I guess Clinton sucks less. But I'm voting third party this year.
