San Angelo LIVE! Survey: ASU Students Voice Their Choice for President

I am always impressed by the students at ASU . About half of the students , more or less , attend ASU on some type of student aid . Scholarships , grants , etc. are the norm . If it were up to the conservatives , very few of these people would be in school .

ANY person in this great nation that says, "watching the debates have helped them to choose Trump" OBVIOUSLY has issues! You can vote for Trump because you don't agree with Clinton's stance, or are still crying about *Benghazi*, or any other reason; but if watching that moron ATTEMPT to debate ANY actual political topic made you think, "YES! That's who needs to run this country for the next 4 years!"........then your voting "rights" should be 100% revoked as well as any and all offspring you have or may eventually bring into this world! That man is a disaster waiting to happen; Trump brings World War III to American soil without a doubt! His ignorance combined with his arrogance are the perfect cocktail for disaster. **I've spent more time in Iraq than any of these children voting have been in school, and STILL say that Clinton is a better choice.

I agree !

Technically, a chicken hawk is a person voicing strong support for military action but who actively avoids actual involvement in the conflict. Claiming Chris Wallace was the debate winner is a nice pivot. In all three debates Trump had some moments but sustained attention to details is obviously not his strong suit. All objective polls (not the seriously flawed online ones) show Trump lost all three debates. Joe, you are most likely dead on when you say most people went into the debate already having decided on their candidate. For those supporting Trump I can see sufficient evidence for them to believe he won. The same for Clinton supporters. For independents I think the decision was made based on the performance of each candidate. Again, the responsible polls say Clinton, despite having some rough spots, was the clear winner.

There is some concern on your presentation on the SOFA or lack of one. Bush signed the SOFA with Iraq requiring all US troops to be out of Iraq by 12/31/2008 later moved to 12/31/2011. Clinton may have been involved in negotiations but the failure to achieve one definitely falls back on the Iraq government. They wanted a SOFA far different from the ones we have with all other countries where we have one. The Iraq government wanted to be able to try our troops in their courts. That was a non-starter for our government.

As Devil Dog indicates, either Clinton or Trump will be the next president. Neither is a good fit but one is better -- certainly not the best -- to be president. Everything points to Clinton. At least that seems to be the comments coming from the Trump campaign. Even his surrogates are becoming more subdued on TV.

Trump is hard right and Clinton is left of center while not totally hard left. Based on issues and rhetoric brought forth during the campaign it really looks like a good time for the country to surface a qualified third party. A party that is centrist where the majority of the electorate seems to reside. And I am not talking about an improved Green Party or Libertarian Party.

Joe is so right on this subject and obviously knows more than these others. Hillary is an evil crook.

I think Henery Hawk (an actual chicken hawk) believes it would seem that might does not necessarily equal right. We had over a 100,000 troops in Iraq because we invaded the country. That decision can be considered right or wrong but it obviously does not entitle us to remain in the country once we returned sovereignty to them. At that point obtaining a SOFA required mutual agreement which did not come to pass. That can be portrayed as a failure just as the invasion can be portrayed as us overstepping based on faulty intelligence.

We will have to agree to disagree on the criminality of Clinton's actions. I think she did some imprudent things but defer to the criminal justice system on whether or not what was done was illegal. Maintaining a private server was not smart but given the apparent vulnerability of government systems it doesn't seem that was a problem. The classified nature of some email is subject to interpretation as well. The failure of anyone sending classified material without a bold heading announcing it as classified is curious.

I agree the economy is a serious concern. Claiming Trump would be the better candidate on that issue flies in the face of his demonstrated financial failures. He inherited money and even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again. He has filed multiple bankruptcies, uses undocumented workers, refuses to pay on valid contracts, and has started multiple businesses that have failed. What confidence does that inspire? Some of Clinton's proposals raise questions but are not so out of line as to deny an improvement for the middle class. She appears capable of crossing party lines to obtain results which is a positive. Remember, it was her husband's administration with the last surplus.

Based on the current attitudes present in the country I do not see either Clinton or Trump as a two term president. If elected, Clinton will certainly try but I would hope that the Republican party has the ability to field a better, more centrist candidate. You are correct that Cruz is the ultimate far right but Trump, based on limited proposals presented with any depth, is not leaning toward the center. Bush, despite the last name, and Kasich are both bettered suited to maintain the base and draw in the center of the country. The biggest unknown in the next election is the influence of the millennials and how they embrace politics.

My comment should have been posted behind devil dogs not behind joe's . That being said , trump is aligning himself with the hate groups , those are the people who are fanatical about supporting him . People don't realize that there are so many haters in this country .Those are the same people who threaten to start a civil war , if the election does not turn out the way they want it to . For the most part most of this idle talk , but for some , it is a call to war . The problem is that these individuals do not choose to fight face to face with adult males , unless they out number their opponents . They will choose to fight with unarmed individuals . The most horrific acts will be against innocents , as was the cowardly act in oklahoma , the wholesale slaughter of innocent children . That is how these cowards choose to fight . Those who cannot remember history are dammed to repeat it . The nazis are thriving in America , trump is a puppet for these savages as well as a puppet for putin , he is deep in debt to the russians . I dare you to prove to me other wise .
