Double standards in high gear again

If we as a society could just get rid of double standards things will improve.

If you aren't a Democrat or a Republican, then stop crying about super-delegates and convention rules that enable the party to pick a candidate that identifies with the party. Run as an independent if you don't win.

Ironic that states should be forced to conduct business with LGBT patrons and bend to their demands based on their views of LGBT rights, but then the way Bruce Springsteen, among others, want to get that enforced is by not conducting business in states that have a different view of them. Must be nice to be able to pick and choose who you provide a service to, isn't it, Bruce?

Trump supporters don't go around trying to intimidate others and showing up at other rallies causing trouble. When protesters show up against Trump they end up fighting with Trump supporters and when the police won't let them get close to the Trump supporters they fight with the police.

And yet it is Trump and his supporters that are the bad bunch. Lastly what came first, Trump saying he wants to build a wall to keep illegals out or Nordic and other European nations saying the same thing?

If the socialist states have it right and we should follow them, then lets build a barrier like they are and deport! Thanks for reading and please do your due diligence in researching a candidate before voting.
