Donald vs Hillary

[bush_cheney2004]

Who are her foreign supporters? I think Clinton is a criminal and should not be President. Just because I know Trump is a bigger criminal doesn't make me a Clinton supporter.

Same difference....American voters will decide who shall be president, not foreigners regardless of their opinion on the matter.

Comey's testimony directly contradicted many of Clinton's lies about her private email server and the classification of emails.

Yeah? Which?

Every time I shoot down one of the complaints you tea party types have with Clinton you just jump to something else.

[Argus]

If Clinton wants to be president, she and her foreign "supporters" will have to endure the heat for her crimes just like anybody else.

Yeah, what crimes?

Has she lied to and defrauded desperate people looking for an education?

Yes...she has defrauded the American people by selling access and influence to foreigners.

Comey's testimony is a matter of public record. Use America's Google (again) to get informed on such matters.

Read it. Still waiting to see the lies. God knows I see Trump lying every single day.

That a Republican blog says she lied is irrelevant to me.

All the FBI said was she had in fact sent/received classified emails when she said she had not. But that doesn't make her statement a lie if she didn't know they were classified, and according to the State Department they weren't marked as such.

I doubt that anyone envies the Americans of their two-party system as in a normal democracy both parties would split into 3-4 new parties.

Equating Trump lies with Clinton lies is good for Trump, the "underdog".

The FBI says they were marked as such. Redacted copies prove this.

Perhaps, but the foreigners certainly pay a lot more attention to the American, "two-party system" election(s).

The gap between Trump and Clinton closing, Yahooooooo .

Soon Trump will be the preference in the polls and the next US president. A nice change from the weak and indecisive Obama presidency.

You haven't shown any Clinton lies thus far.

The FBI says they were marked as such. Redacted copies prove this.

No, they did not. The director said three of them had a small 'c' indicating they were confidential. Bill Clinton has said those were simply memos to the secretary telling her to call this or that foreign leader, and that the 'c' were placed on them for other office people who might see them to know not to mention it until the secretary had called.

Apparently Trump's supporters being a basket of deplorables was on the spot:

At first glance, Mrs Clinton’s 50% estimate looks impressively accurate: 58% of respondents who said they backed Mr Trump resided in the poll’s highest quartile for combined racial-resentment scores. And at a lower threshold of offensiveness—merely distasteful rather than outright deplorable, say—91% of Mr Trump’s voters scored above the national average

Don't have to...she has demonstrated the lies all by herself.

No, they did not. The director said three of them had a small 'c' indicating they were confidential.

Anyone who has handled or viewed classified U.S. media knows this is nonsense. You have no idea because of another classification...NOFORN.

Donald Trump polled higher among Hispanics than did either Mitt Romney in 2012 or John McCain in 2008.

He's really starting to roll.

Donald has gone on reality TV to declare (with documentation) that he has always been healthy.

I wonder why he got a physical deferment from having to go to Vietnam?

Hands were too small to operate the Agent Orange sprayers.

Same reason Hillary Clinton got one.

The USA had presidential elections even in 1944 during war-time but is it theoretically possible for an incumbent president to declare a state of emergency and cancel presidential elections "until further notice"?

No.

I love the summary of the polling demographics:

Looking more broadly at all registered voters, Mrs. Clinton holds a wider edge, 46 to 41 percent, driven by her support among women, minorities and college graduates.

Mr. Trump has an advantage among men, whites and less educated voters.

Billionaire NBA owner Mark Cuban utterly trashes Trump in today's Bloomberg. When Trump first announced Cuban was supportive and thought his candidacy would be a great thing, an honest outsider to clean out Washington.

I liked Trump’s honesty because it was different and had a chance to change the business of politics. What I didn’t realize he was missing at the time was a complete and utter lack of preparation, knowledge, and common sense. I made the mistake of assuming that he had to have some interest in learning and keeping up with world events. That he would make the effort to learn what he didn’t know. I obviously was wrong.

...

Once he won the Republican primary, I honestly expected that he would start to become more businesslike. That he would start to add details to his top-line proposals. That he would demonstrate that he was learning the issues that he could face as president. I didn’t see him making progress or even effort on any of those fronts. But that alone wasn’t enough for me to endorse Secretary Clinton. I have been in the public eye for a long time and have never actively supported any candidate. There were two things that finally led me to endorse Secretary Clinton: The first was that I did quite a bit of homework to understand all the allegations that were directed toward her and found almost all not based on fact and the remainder far from material. The tipping issues were Trump’s positions on NATO, our treaties, dealing with our allies, his comments on nuclear weapons, and his lack of understanding of the concept of deterrence. His ignorance of these issues scared the shit out of me.

If there were to be a billionaire reality show personality to become president, I'd far prefer The Cube to Trump.
