ORIGINAL: bounty44 to the main topic: early on I belonged to the anyone but Hillary camp, now im not so sure who would be worse for the country, her, or trump, so im not sure in what light to take the following news: "Ripple Effect: Trump Pushes 11 States Toward The Democrats" quote:
Donald Trump will start his 2016 battle against Hillary Clinton by trailing her by double-digits in the polls and a projected Electoral College wipeout thus far. Now that he’s the presumptive nominee, the Cook Political Report had moved 11 states towards the Democrats (the Hill): “This has been an exceedingly unpredictable year,” the analyst said. “Although we remain convinced that Hillary Clinton is very vulnerable and would probably lose to most other Republicans, Donald Trump's historic unpopularity with wide swaths of the electorate — women, millennials, independents and Latinos — make him the initial November underdog.” Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin were all shifted from toss-up states to leaning Democratic. The “solid Republican” states Missouri and Indiana were downgraded to “likely Republican.” New Mexico is now solidly Democratic, and North Carolina is a toss-up after leaning Republican. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/05/07/ripple-effect-trumps-pushes-11-states-to-the-democrats-n2159255 I still think that Trump may be very bad, but that Hillary would be very bad. She has already come out in favor of rewritting both the first and second amendments so they say what she wants them too. Keep in mind that in 95 her husband wanted "hate speach" criminalized and that when pressed said that a congressman calling for a tax cut would be ingaging in criminal hate speach. She has argued that a tax increase should take a majority but that a tax cut should take a super majority. You can be sure that given a chance she would pack the court with people who would pretend that these things are constitutional.
