He's so gross. He has no policy. He has no class. He has no experience. His only friends are oligarchs and terrorists. Im ashamed that he hold the title of American. The real shame is republicans have been fooled into believing his BS and lies. Shame on anyone voting for this very dangerous clown.

So have any of you actually bothered to read their platform for yourselves or are you getting your spoon-fed information from the TV?   They're both readily available online and come pundit-bias free.

And that's with regard to either candidate.

I have read Trumps policies as presented on-line.  Of the 7 bullet points, I can see two that actually make sense and I could agree with.  That left five (;)) I feel he and his policy makers are very wrong about.  The biggest issue is the guy can't seem to be truthful about much of anything so how can anyone believe he will honor anything he says?

I don't concern myself so much with what they're saying.  The only purpose now is to get elected, so take it for what it's worth.  I didn't expect Bernie to produce everything he was selling as I don't expect HRC to as I'm not counting on Trump. 

In my mind, their platforms as submitted are going to be the basis for how I make a true decision.  Not what a talking head tells me about their platform.  Not what the candidate tells me about their platform, but what's actually written down and planned out.  Because one of my biggest issues with the GOP is their intent to dismantle funding federal mass transit, thinking that ita better left to the state/community, but we don't read about that in bullet points or hear it on Fox/MSNBC because it's boring, bit has potential to affect more Americans than some TBD foreign  policy.

Too much focus is placed on the individual candidate and specific lightning rod topics rather than the overall plan that each side will be defined by.
