Without you.

If you do, I have a bridge to sell you.

The difference is how far from their words, their actions will be. Trump and his cronies are con men. They lie 95% of the time. Clinton (and Sanders mind you) are politicians. They only lie about 25 - 30% of the time. You can't trust everything a politician says but you can trust 100% that a con man is lying to you.

No way will Trump and his buddies do anything that hurts their companies' bottom lines.

I'm one of those IT workers and I despair of the rampant ignorance within the Democratic Party (and not just the politicians, a lot of the voters) about the differences between skilled worker visas and other immigration questions. But I'm not going to abandon all my other values for the patently ridiculous notion that the GOP might somehow act better on this one issue. All we can do is keep trying to educate, and realize that almost no one actually gives a shit about us. At least the Dem Party gives a shit about a lot of other people.

Still, you are right that the GOP has scored with this ad. Many people are unaware of the veiled threats/hidden bribery used by the ultra-rich right-wing to ram through legislation favorable to their profit margins. Capitalism is a powerful engine of economic progress, but these guys do need regulation, and they tend to be very inventive in finding ways to do whatever they want anyway. The fact that the GOP uses a crying IT worker in this ad shows that they know they have created an advantage in this area, and they will exploit it. However, the Democratic Party can still win in a landslide if we stand up to them. The neo-liberal Democrats have fallen for a number of lies from the GOP concerning the fictitious shortages of qualified Americans in various fields. They need to stop enabling these GOP plans to import bunches of foreign workers they can get away with mistreating, in order to dump qualified Americans out of the skilled jobs they have worked so hard for (with massive debts that have been arbitrarily declared immune to bankruptcy proceedings).

If you think he's better than Hillary, you really are thinking backwards.

Which one will voters choose? Which one should progressives choose?

Hmm, that must be a really difficult choice.

And if you don't know which one is which, then you have questionable judgment.
