Hillary supporter tells me he hates Trumps policies but then tells me he doesn't know what they are...

I spoke to a customer this morning who said he is voting for Hillary because he hates Trumps policies. I told him I am voting for Trump because he said he would eliminate ObamaCare. He said "I don't know anything about that". I told him we seem to keep getting killed on trade deals. He said "I don't know anything about that". I decided to give up and get some work done. I believe these are 2 of the most important issues this election cycle and this campaign is devolving into a reality TV show. Wonder what will happen next...

    The Convention of States project stands a chance of altering the course of this bloated, overloaded ship of state. Power corrupts and after 225+ years not only has the power corrupted but the corrupted have seized more power they have no right to. Both COS and the FairTax are aimed at returning power to where it belongs (the people).
    Unless you are in the military the Post Office should be the only federal agency you have daily contact with!

    Not voting for HRC is not as good as voting for DJT, but better than voting for her/it.
    It is too bad it becomes a personality contest. Schnidler (sp?) (as in Schindler's List) was, in my opinion a psychopath, but what he did is considered a good thing and almost "saintly." Getting liberals to see the liberal line is not good for individual people in a socialist state is one of the keys to getting them to vote for improvements. The good news is the vast majority of people identify with ideas and policies that are good for society. The bad news is 1) many don't vote and 2) in spite of their stated beliefs they can be bought (for example "cash for clunkers; Obama phones, link cards, etc.). Had the 8 or so million people who's beliefs dovetail with Mitt Romney's beliefs had voted rather than boycott the election because he is a Mormon, we would be on the way to recovery and a thriving economy.

    Thanks for the first laugh of the day. You may need to be more specific in a vague way. "A government assistant will call with instructions of how to receive your benefit."

    I know you're busy, but this was an opportunity to educate; to "save the savable" as Herman Cain would say.

    Your running mate's idea ;^) I'm happier with you listening to Rich's suggestions than Gary listening to Weld the Wicked. If I donate $1 to the campaign, can I be your ambassador to Australia?

    Now that is an idea. "Take the tax break and act like a prog-tard to all your altruistic-mob friends", perfect!

    I have seen pundits say that when the campaigns focus on the issues Trump goes up. When it gets personal Hillary does well. Hope we get back to the issues.

    Hi Herb. I can only hope that many of these people just stay home. Maybe Trump should run ads that a new Government handout program is starting on November 8th. Everyone should stay home til 8:00pm and a government assistant will call with instructions on how to get what you deserve.

    You can encourage people to actually vote for the better candidate, they can still tell people (or let them believe) they voted for HRC.

    A Constitutional expert said recently that this one race should not be given this much attention. It is only because we have allowed the Presidents to grab more and more power over the years. I don't see it changing any time soon.

    I guess I might have asked what policies of HRC was he voting FOR. What about the current state of affairs is positive for the customer?? Maybe, just maybe, getting such drones to think, even briefly, can get them to not vote for HRC -- maybe not for DJT.

    The real problem is that the president does not have the constitutional authority to "run the country" and voters are too ignorant and brainwashed to insist that constitutional limits are valid, and violation of them is a criminal offense that the president must not pardon.

    Great point. We have become so polarized that some voters just get behind their parties candidate and don't listen at all.
