Well out of the two, we can safely say Hillary is the warmonger.
Really curious if you'd get baited as much if I posted from an anonymous account

Doesn't matter who is president, America will always be a warmongering country who drags their allies to help fight their battles for them.
Somehow I agree, but they're also fighting in their wars. Doesn't make it good though. Fact is, that they helped creating the Islamic State and destabilized too many countries to count.

Boy, was I wrong 
Two things are infinite: the universe and American stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

At least the next few years will be interesting.
I wonder what odds I'll get on Trump being assassinated during his term?
It'll also be interesting what Trump's supporters will do when Trump admits he can't actually do half the stuff he said he would do during his campaign.

Also, I don't think Americans are necessarily stupid for voting for Trump. They are angry.
It's the same circumstances as the British Brexit vote. Many people who voted for Trump/to leave the EU were doing so as a protest vote because they were fed up of the current political situation.
It was Clinton's to lose and she lost. Like it was the Remain campaigns to lose and they lost. Both concentrated on the negatives of the other rather than the positives of themselves and people get very pissed of if they think you are trying to scare them into voting for you.
Hopefully politicians are starting to learn that people aren't "stupid" and won't be scared into voting like sheep.

Anybody who votes Trump is either stupid or trolling.

I think a really large sum of people who voted for Trump did so not because they want to vote for Trump, but because they didn't want to vote for Hillary.

That is even more stupid...rather not vote at all then.
As i have said earlier, both are no-go for me, but i would still choose the lesser evil in Hillary in this case, or not vote at all.

It's exactly the opposite. Politicians should start to learn people are stupid and will make stupid choices. In both these cases the bad choice was better sold and the losing side relied too much on the common sense of voters.

That was the outset for many when it came to Brexit - just voted against Cameron because they didn't like him. A guy at work confessed to it and didn't understand what brexit was

It's the fault of the American political system that allowed two terrible candidates in the first place. In what kind of developed country can a man with absolutely no political experience buy his way into the White House?
America. That's where.
American politics is nothing more than a glorified high school popularity contest.
I look forward to Trump Vs West 2020.

From Britains point of view it'll make our negotiations with the EU over Brexit a little easier.
