					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not informed enough to say I&#039;m for or against Trump, but here are two things that I feel strongly about.

People posting strong anti-Trump opinions are often misinformed, exaggerating, or taking things out of context. Obviously not all anti-Trumpers are like this, probably not even the majority, but social media has given everyone a voice, even those who don&#039;t &quot;deserve&quot; it, and the dumb people water-down / out-scream the smart people. It&#039;s the same for the very conservative folks too. It&#039;s just shocking the response you get if you say &quot;I support Trump&quot;. Without even clarifying what exactly you mean, so many of these &quot;super tolerant&quot; left leaning people will write you off instantly.

The other thing I feel is that I don&#039;t really want a crooked politician who acts and says everything they can to gain votes to be in office, and that&#039;s exactly what I feel Hilary is (could be wrong!). The political system isn&#039;t known for it&#039;s efficiency and I have no faith in regards to its corruptness (word?), so I&#039;m all for bringing in someone not native to the system, though for me it doesn&#039;t have to be Trump.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t like LeBron, but I can&#039;t quite determine why. Something just seems &quot;phony&quot; about him. However, I heard 2 stats today:
1) According to some Player-Performance Index, LeBron is #1 is play-off performance
2) LeBron also averages the most points of any player in NBA history when playing in an elimination game.

The problem with Donald is that he is so unqualified to participate in diplomacy, legislature and pretty much all of the vital aspects of the office of president. The notion of running the country as a business doesn&#039;t equate to the way politics are designed to work. Sure, the political and legislature process is often slow, cumbersome and needs improvement. But, it is deliberately insulated precisely to protect the country from people like Trump: who want to suddenly deport people, ban religions and sanction aspects of &quot;freedom of the press&quot;. The infrastructure of government is basically the same (in theory) as the 2nd amendment. Both are safety mechanisms to avoid dictatorship. They don&#039;t always work perfectly though.


&quot;...impressive business accomplishments do not readily translate into success in the White House. Presidents who cut their teeth in business are among the least successful and least popular of the 43, according to the Sienna College Research Institute (SRI), which ranks presidents in 20 areas such as integrity, intelligence, willingness to take risks and leadership ability. Harry Truman is the only president with business experience who ranks highly - 9th...Warren Harding - 43rd, Calvin Coolidge - 29th, Herbert Hoover - 36th.&quot; [The Economist - May 2016]


Still, I get why people like Trump. Even with so much failure and so many scams connected to his name, his &quot;brand&quot; exudes confidence and success on the surface.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I despise Lebron. Great player, but hate his character. &quot;I&#039;m going to take the high road here&quot; is an easy, recent example to use. Also, 6 straight finals isn&#039;t as impressive when you consider that he&#039;s playing in the East. Here are the teams he&#039;s knocked off to get to the finals:
2010: Chicago
2011: Boston
2012: Indiana
2013: Indiana
2014: Atlanta
2015: Toronto

None of those teams are on the level of the Spurs, Warriors (recently), or even the Thunder, let alone the good-not-great teams in the West like Clippers, Mavs, Portland, etc.

I&#039;m neutral on Steph. Wouldn&#039;t have noticed the mouth guard if no one said anything.

Agree on disliking Draymond.

You know my views on Trump. The (social) media we&#039;re exposed to is so far left leaning it&#039;s impossible to get a fair look. According to my Facebook every Trump supporter has either never been to college or has physically assaulted someone.]]></description>
