Donald vs Hillary

taxme · July 28, 2016

Tony Schwarz is a journalist who ghostwrote Trumps "The Art of the Deal". A publication Trump is very proud of. I was watching CNN this morning and saw this very enlightening interview with that journalist:

Interview

Another person grovelling at the alter of the elite globalists feet. Such people stand for nothing except for themselves and just want to appear politically correct to save their job. They are not worth the time of day.

Mr. Hardner, you have accused me of using the words "you liars" indicating to me that I called a member here a liar.

Can you show me as to where I said those exact words, please? Thank you.

And only a fool believes in unilateral disarmament.

This is attributed to Sanders, right?

I can promise you that both China and Russia would desperately love to see the US unilaterally disarm.

The Baltic States would be practicing their Russian verb tenses the next day. And Tapei would be feeling some heavy Sino Loving sooner than that.

Some Republicans flee Trump, back Clinton:

'Some of the things he espouses are very, very dangerous,' lifelong Republican worries

Reyes calls Trump a xenophobic isolationist who is "completely irresponsible on national security issues."

So Reyes and fellow Republican John Stubbs, who both worked in the White House under George W. Bush, started an election campaign of their own. They founded a grassroots group, Republicans for Clinton 2016.

There will be Republicans who think they can use Trump to make oodles of money.

There will be Republicans who buy into his xenophobia.

And there will be Republicans of principle who know they are more similar to Clinton than to Trump.

Probably Trump will win

I'm not so sure anymore - there's a wind shift occurring, I think.

Both Trump and Clinton will lose some votes to the Johnson-Weld Libertarian ticket, which is getting more attention. They will probably not match Ross Perot's success of 1992, but could impact swing states with close vote margins.

If there weren't term limits, Obama would easily win another election.

Agreed.

Libertarian ... free market ... and legal weed.

... and Mitt Romney.

Maybe this has legs.

Before the campaign began, I thought that the Democratic choice would win in a landslide. Now, I am more certain that the Democratic choice, Hillary Clinton, will be the next president of the USA in a landslide. I cannot see Trump carrying a single state.

The fact Trump got the GOP regardless of the push back from his own party and regardless of everything he has said, he will crush Clinton.

Two conflicting opinions. Am looking forward to the results.

Agreed.

Only for lack of a decent alternative. If Bloomberg ran under the Republican banner he'd slaughter either Obama or Clinton

Trump appeals to wackos. He has locked up the wacko vote. There still are, however, more centrists than wackos.

Trump appeals to more than wackos. He appeals to the disenfranchised who think the system doesn't care about them and hasn't cared about them for a long time. Of course, Trump doesn't care about them either, but that's neither here nor there. Or maybe, like Michael Moore says, voting Trump is just a great big finger to the political and media elites on behalf of these people, or a Molotov cocktail tossed into the election machinery, hoping whatever comes might be better than what is there now.

Clinton appeals to a different kind of wacko, but wackos none the less. Those who think she gives a shit any more than Trump does, are completely deluding themselves.

They both don't care, they are politicians who will say whatever it takes to get elected while lying to your face about what they believe and what they are going to do. Then again, no matter who gets in, the POTUS is not the one running the nation.

Apparently there are 3 debates scheduled. When is the first debate?

Apparently there are 3 debates scheduled. When is the first debate?

Monday, September 26, 2016

First presidential debate

Location: Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY

The first debate will be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the moderator and announced at least one week before the debate. The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.

*Wright State University in Ohio has withdrawn from holding the First Presidential debate due to budget issues. Hofstra University will step in to host the first Clinton/Trump debate.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016

Vice presidential debate

Location: Longwood University, Farmville, VA

The Vice Presidential debate will be divided into nine time segments of approximately 10 minutes each. The moderator will ask an opening question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.

Sunday, October 9, 2016

Second presidential debate

Location: Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO

The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources. The candidates will have two minutes to respond and there will be an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate further discussion. The town meeting participants will be uncommitted voters selected by the Gallup Organization.

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

Third presidential debate

Location: University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV

The format for the third debate will be identical to the first presidential debate.

I would suggest you watch Bill Clinton's speech, where he recites a long, long list of the volunteer work his wife has done since she was in college. She has spent literally years of her life on a variety of causes, from helping migrant Mexicans to disabled children to minorities and women, and done it consistently for decades. It makes no sense to suggest such a person doesn't care about others. I would much rather see someone like Bloomberg in the oval office, because I dislike Clinton's politically correct progressiveness, but it's ludicrous to say she doesn't care more than Trump, who has never done anything for anyone else in his life.

Her track record shows that she is all about her and nothing else.

She's one shady character.

Anyone who still asks for proof or evidence of the Clinton's corruption is too far gone to acknowledge the reality of it anyway.

That is true. If we take a quick look for the Trump supporters, we don't hear acknowledgements of his shady past..

A total shame when the decision comes down to voting in one of these two idiots.

We don't hear from Hillary supporters talking about her shady past now do we? So, what's your point?

Canadians keep voting in idiots all the time. So, what's your point?

I agree. And it may be time for them to have an IQ check up for safety reasons.

Just as in previous U.S. presidential elections, a CBC "analysis" wonk is peddling the usual American wannabe voting angle for Trump vs. Clinton:

After closing the gap on Hillary Clinton in the polls, Donald Trump is closer to taking the White House today than he has ever been before. But there is one way the Democrats could virtually ensure their party's hold on the presidency — making Canada the 51st state.

That's obviously not going to happen. But Canadians would be among the most reliable Democrats if, well, they were Americans instead.
