John League - Hillary Clinton supporter, CoPresident for Jayhawks for Hillary, Colorado Springs, Colo.
Why do you think your candidate will win the election in November?
I think Hillary has garnered a lot of support in states that are kind of pivotal to the election, for good or for worse. If we look at the polls, even popular vote, she's up significantly. Electoral college, it's looking towards a landslide. I think people see the kind of radicalness of Donald Trump and are faulting to something they know will be a little more stable, or something they're more familiar with.
Well, it's not too hard to beat Donald Trump. His ideology is rather incoherent at times."
John League Clinton supporter
What has been the biggest obstacle in your candidate's campaign, and how well do you think they handled it?
I think the largest obstacle facing Hillary was, of course, the email scandal. Personally, I think the scandal was kind of dumb. Just considering how much is going on with the
scandal, and how easily the situation could have been avoided by just having two email addresses. Saying that, I think she's handled the situation rather well.
What is the main reason you choose to support your candidate?
I chose Hillary since the beginning. I think her experience working in the public sector has been very influential on my vote. I personally believe that we should elect the most qualified person to office. If someone has an idea of what they're doing, chances, are they're going to do a better job.
Well, it's not too hard to beat Donald Trump. His ideology is rather incoherent at times, self-defeating at others, and all-in-all, very radical in my opinion. I think Hillary Clinton is a much more centered candidate and will provide continued stability in the United States economy and in the world.
What makes your candidate a better choice than the other?
Garrett Miller - Donald Trump supporter, Regional Field Director, Chanute, Kan,
I can understand why you'd be undecided. I, too, have been trying to put off this election. I think that if you look at the track record and personal attitudes of each candidate, you'd see that Hillary Clinton is not only a better candidate, but she's also a better person.
What would you tell an undecided voter to sway them to vote for your candidate?
Why do you think your candidate will win the election in November?
I think when people actually look at the laws, Hillary Clinton clearly broke a US code, 2071 Section B. It says if you mutilate any information, I'm paraphrasing, if you destroy any evidence of anything, you should never have an office within the United States. So, therefore, I think that's a discredit to her. One of Trump's main talking points is Hillary Clinton has been a career politician for the past 30 plus years, we've seen her record. When you look into conservatism, though, and you see how free markets are, and when you have less regulation, you see people and businesses grow.
What has been the biggest obstacle in your candidate's campaign, and how well do you think they handled it?
Some of the things that he's said in the past have come back and really bit him. The whole conversation with Billy Bush, that really hurt him with the women voters. You could probably pull up statements from all the politicians where they've said things, there's probably a paper trail for a lot of other people. He's apologized for it.
I'm kind of new to politics, I never really wanted
What is the main reason you choose to support your candidate?
to get into them. But, the way that Trump was saying things, it was some things that people are scared to talk about. And I think the way that Trump talks about it, he gets people that have been outcasted for years, he's got them paying attention to the election.
If Hillary gets elected, it'll put the country further down into a spiral."
Garrett Miller Trump supporter
What makes your candidate a better choice than the other?
Obama's been kind of a let down for a lot of people I think and with some of the things that Hillary has said, it's just going to be another four to eight years of a Barack Obama presidency. If Hillary gets elected, it'll put the country further down into a spiral.
What would you tell an undecided voter to sway them to vote for your candidate?
Look at the Wikileaks, look at the Project Veritas videos, look at Hillary's voting records, look at her policies that she's enacted. What I would tell an undecided voter is stop listening to the grocery store aisle rhetoric, that you're seeing with the locker room, with the comments that he's said about different people and look at the actual policies.
