I know this isn't fireworks related but with one of the biggest elections in our nations history I thought it would be fun to see what the fireworks community thinks about the two main candidates or any others. Post your opinion if you would like below and whether or not you think the fireworks community could be affected by it.
I am personally a Trump supporter myself.

I'll post first, I think I made it clear when I posted some videos. I am a Trump supporter. I am not sure how he feels about the fireworks hobbyist. I am basing that opinion on the good of the country. I did hear Trump has fireworks displays at his private events. I heard from some technicians that work on the them. Trump was in Pittsburgh last night by the airport.
I thought this was one of his most passionate speeches.

I am 100% a Trump supporter but can't vote unfortunately. Have been following a lot of what is happening, and it appears the polls are very dodgy and Trump is a nice margin in front and will have the numbers to be Pres.

I am all for Hilary . Trump is not qualified, whatsoever to be President let alone, handle his business affairs.
You have to go with the person who has actual experience working in government, not a self-important ego maniac who cheats on taxes and looks down on women and minorities, the way that he does.
Hilary already stated, several times that she supports the 2nd amendment .
Hilary is still a few poll points ahead of Trump . What will happen, I dunno but we're in for lots of trouble, if he were to win.
What is most ridiculous are all the blue collar people that have been suckered into thinking Trump is for them when he is not.
He's on record saying " if you aren't wealthy, you aren't shit." and things to that effect.
He is all for letting people with money slide and not pay for their fare share.
That can't happen .
Don't be stupid. He'd rather people of lesser means just go away and die .

I'm in for Trump. I feel that, although he may not have the political background, he is smart enough to surround himself with advisers who are qualified to give him solid information. We don't need another career politician--With all the info coming out about Killary--it is only the political strings she is pulling that are keeping her out of jail. I'm sure she is sweating what will happen to her if Trump is elected--she likes pants suits--I'm sure she will be comfortable in an orange or brown one! Also, as a veteran, I find the Bengazi fiasco unforgivable.
I also support term limits for Congress!

Joe, the FBI has cleared her, TWICE .
There are no 'strings' being pulled .
There is no 'info' coming out .
Only the b.s. that faux news concocts .
Hopefully, Hilary will deport Trump and all of his brood, after she wins.

(make that THREE times, she's been cleared by FBI - as of this morning...)
Then why is there unrest within the FBI? Did you not see the story where 1100 agents threatened resigning because they are pissed that justice isnt being served? How about the fact that a general in the armed forces was forced to resign because he had 6 photos of a submarine on his phone but she mishandles over 1000 classified documents and is still running for president? She has lied under oath multiple times and even the FBI corroborates that info yet nothing is done? She is crooked as shit man and I am not saying that Trump should be our president but I will say that she is by far, an evil woman. We wont even get into the whole pay to play and clinton foundation. There are so many dark issues tied to her that its infuriating that she is still running for presidency, let alone spending time in jail. Ive said all I am going to say on this topic and thread as I dont think politics should be involved on these forums honestly. Too many people get too worked up about it and dont know how to act like a human being. Everyone is entitles to his or her own opinions, but I think everyone should be informed before they take a stand defending that opinion.

Those who have talked to me personally know where i stand - so not putting into print here!
However it is of the utmost urgency for all registered voters to get out there and vote! whatever side you are for.
Not only the presidency - but also Senate races, US rep races, State positions, Judges, and referendums which alot of time are very HOT TOPICS!
YES - contrary to some beliefs - each and every vote does count. I know personally of several local,state, and federal elections has been close - very close until the last vote is counted.
And if you are not registered...... :rolleyes::(
i have a very busy day tomorrow as i am on our local election board - just will be glad when Wednesday arrives it will be over!

it's a small minority of personally-biased people & mis-informed people . this country is unfortunately, chock-full of morons who bite into any lies and b.s. that right wing media like fox news & etc puts out there and scream about it and insist that it's truth . they've been working the idiots of this country since his campaign began . if I had it my way, i'd have Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate in office, come next January but, Hilary is the next best thing .
Trump is a hateful small-minded corrupt dipshit . Let's keep him well-away from government where he has no business being involved, in any capacity .

I agree that we should not turn this into a "he said, she said" debate. Plenty of other forums to argue back & forth on.... The OP question was simple--who would you chose? It would be nice to see a sampling of the pyro community on where their choice is---but lets keep it civil and simple.
Wednesday WILL be an interesting day for both sides of the aisle!

Exactly. It would be nice to get a poll from the pyro community on where there choice is but politics and civil conversation? Those words just don't go together. lol
There is so much hate, anger and arguments back and forth about this with my facebook "friends", other media sites and even people in person its awful. It truly is sad. :(
To answer the original posts question, I guess I'm one of those personally biased, mis-informed moron idiots that will not be voting for hilary. lol :p

Very well said Bazerk. All this government wants is a status quo and term limits really need to happen. By the way PGH Pyro if it weren't for the ridiculous b.s. of liberals like Clinton and Obama I would be 2 years from a military retirement. I served my country proudly and I was pushed out back in 2006 from their political b.s. I don't have mommy issues and to say shit like that is way off kilter. She hates the military for one and my issues with her come with a lot that, plus general Petraeus got his as handed to him for literally nothing so don't say she did nothing wrong. Just ask our fallen brothers from Bengazi, oh wait you can't cause she along with Obama just let them die and lied about it .
That's my rant I'm not gonna get into this crap about her being some saint, tomorrow will what happens to our country.

she hasn't killed anybody but , if we have to keep using that stupid nickname for her, i'd rather we have a balls to the gangster wall woman in charge like Hillary when dealing with Russia/China/N.

Talk about mental midgets. 10 Republican led special committees found no wrong doing yet some still believe Fox News and the right wing nutjobs on the radio. They likely think the movie 13 Hours was accurate and that there was a stand down order. Hillary has got some issues...but please. Trump? LMFAO. Trump economic plan gives all the breaks to the millionaires as is usual Republican policy. Do research and check put Kansas. That's Trump's economic model. Judging from the above comments, there are either a lot of millionaires in the pyro community or a lot of idiots that like to vote against their best economic interest....and I'm guessing they aren't millionaires.

This is a determined man that will eventually get a chance to ask all of the questions that need to be asked. He is a man in government that truly wants whats best for this country and its people. Ron Paul was the same way. People shrug him off as an old guy who doesnt know what he was talking about. That guy was willing to blow up the machine that is our government but never got the chance. In the end, this is all I am hoping for....this corrupt government to fall.

Remember try to get a picture of your voting location, if you can and post it on the forums. People outside of United States may enjoy seeing it.
Hillary said to cancel the fireworks display if she wins, it will be interesting to see if Trump does the same. I remember Obama cancelled his fireworks display back in the day. How would you like to be the fireworks crew. I bet they have to set it up anyway in case someone changes their mind. It would be great to hear from someone on the fireworks crew how they handle this.

Once the results are official for either candidate I'll probably close this thread so we don't all hate each other. Say whatever you need to say until then. No matter the results we will still have our families, our life and our love of the fireworks hobby.God Bless America.

Boy Dave you are lucky, down in my state they warn folks about taking selfies or pictures of how a person votes. Guess different states have different rules

Now having cast my vote, I'm sitting back with a very strong adult beverage waiting to see how it goes. Just remember, if you don't vote you have no right to criticize whoever wins the election because lack of action on your part leaves the action up to everyone else. If you don't like the candidates then get your ass out there and run for office. Maybe then we'd get a decent candidate. Just saying...

They said I could only take a picture of my own screen and not someone else's. The machine I voted on uses a credit card with a chip in it. Once you are done voting you return the card back to them. Prior to these machines we had a punch card machine you inserted a card and used this little hand held wand to punch holes in the card. I almost dropped over when they started using these about three years ago. I ran into a person I grew up with at the voting polls. I ask him if he was voting for Trump. He said "I'm not voting for that nut" LOL I saw a retired police officer standing outside passing out Trump literature. It is always fun to go and vote.

It is really amazing about the voter laws in the different states. My state doesn't allow the pictures nor do they allow any one trying to influence the potential voter within 150 foot of the entrance to the polling area. Probably be an interesting topic for some one to come up with the differences in the local election laws.. make a good project for some local high school civics class. LOL

im currently not sure where NH stands on photos last i knew someone was taking it to federal court but i didnt follow up on the outcome so i didnt risk it this time (they have gone after people in past years). I do know that no one can wear anything that Promotes a party (pin, shirt, hat, etc) in the polling area. I am still coloring in bubbles for candidates. will all that said i can still cary my firearm into the voting booth with me (as long as my polling place is not a school.)

Wow I did not expect this thread to take off like it did. Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback. Whoever wins, wins. As Dave said we will still have our families, friends and the love of fireworks. I just hope that our country as a whole remains calm after the election no matter the outcome. Thanks again and God Bless America!

The first thing I did this AM was wake my computer up and there it was. A Trump Victory. I was shaking my arms in the air. The United States is heading a new direction. It felt good to be part of it all. I am going to close the thread. Lets all get back to our lives, our family , work and fireworks.
