I expected you would have watched the debate. She said the tax returns he released for a casino licence showed he paid $0 in federal income taxes. His reply was "That makes me smart."

:rolleyes:

Well you better watch the video again....and try to understand what exactly he was responding to.

Hillary was talking about the unseen tax returns.

She was musing about his tax returns ...."the only years that anybody has ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they show he didn't pay any federal income tax......(to which Trump interjected: that makes me smart)....

What makes him smart? Not showing his tax returns unless he had to!

After the debate, Trump was again on his "crooked Hiliary" nonsense. Time to call him "freeloader Donald" for living large off the American taxpayer for years.

Free loaders don't give back anything to society. He created jobs! Thousands of jobs!

Most importantly...

If he's been audited, and he's not being charged for tax evasion, or any crime - that means, whatever he's doing is legal.

Even if he never pays any taxes - it's not him, it's the system!

Everyone here use the system to get tax breaks! If it's legal, why not?

That's what they're there for.

You don't like it? Lobby to change the system. You're barking at the wrong tree! You're talking nonsense.

Funny that you're the only one with that interpretation. That must make you smart.

Thousands of jobs that he stiffed those who actually did the work for. And he is trying to change the system to make it easier for rich freeloaders like him to freeload some more.

You are talking nonsense.

Stick to worshipping your pretty PM. Leave American politics to those of us who truly understand what is happening.

This kind of comment adds nothing to the topic and only serves to provoke an angry response. Stuff like this gets deleted.

If you're not happy about discussing US politics with Canadians, perhaps you've come to the wrong forum.

Honestly, don't you people ever give a moment of thought to such things?

The only thing that matters to voters like betsy is the Culture Wars. The actual functioning of the government isn't even an afterthought.

In this context, that would be all the wannabe Canadian voters. Many U.S. citizens will not vote as voters, and still be counted in voter turnout percentages in each state.

Believe me. This is nothing more than American "reality" TV for Canadians' consumption. You're the one who's going to be saddled with the consequences of an electoral system that came down to two of the worst presidential candidates in recent memory.

Argus,

No one will be able to launch a frivolous inquiry....if an inquiry isn't warranted!

Nonsense. I can launch an inquiry into my suspicion that you are a reptilian ninja assassin from planet Gormak right now. Who's to stop me?

The Republicans used repeated 'inquiries' to smear Clinton. Why do you think they had nine congressional inquiries into the same damn thing anyway?

Agreed...I will be "saddled" with actually being an American after the election, just as in many elections past, and you will be "saddled" with watching the reality show from across the border, "because it's so important to us".

That's a matter of opinion, Argus. Some don't like his style.

Yes, he's abrasive when he wants to.....I suppose he doesn't suffer fools.

It's not his abrasiveness that is the turn off. It's his crudeness. Winston Churchill was abrasive too, and certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. But he didn't resort to grade school taunts. He had a sense of dignity, after all, which Trump completely lacks. He also had possession of an array of facts about the world around him and all aspects of public policy under discussion. Trump lacks that, as well.

However, he won't be the businessman that he is if his temperament is out of control. His position requires a lot of negotiating.

And how many deals did his temperament cost him? He likes to brag about being New York city's biggest real estate developer but the truth is he was never even close to the top tier. He's clearly a narcissistic and in addition to not suffering 'fools' gladly, he also doesn't suffer anyone who disagrees with him. He is, as I said, the kind of arrogant rich guy who surrounds himself with yes-men who will agree with all his whims and pander to his crazy ideas.

Trump's walls on the Canadian and Mexican borders would put a dent in drug smuggling, and LAX bombers too !

Very few drugs come into the US on the backs of illegal aliens. Most of it comes in container vessels or aircraft and now drones.

The 9/11 bombers flew into US airports without any problem at all.

Too bad, that's the kind of society we now have.....why does it bother you?

It speaks to character (or lack thereof). Just like his frequent lies and bullying and grade school insults.

You don't consider his repeated violations of at least four of the ten commandments to be an issue?

Adultery is irrelevant in the issue regarding Hillary. It's how she handled the women who complained about having been sexually assaulted by her husband.

If he wants to talk to women who have had complaints about their husband's sexual assaults and infidelities he can call up his ex wives.

Canadians and Mexicans dig tunnels into the U.S. to move drugs, contraband, and illegals across the border. Trump should make that wall tall and deep !

Like these regulations:

Regulatory mandates flowing from federal health care reform may be the most visible, but the list also includes measures such as new mandatory paid leave provisions that require us to change the way we accommodate employees who need to take time off when they are ill

Asking employers to accommodating sick employees instead of firing them out of hand is a bad thing?

and ever more unrealistic requirements regarding employee meal and rest breaks that, in California for example, force our employees to take breaks in the middle of serving lunch or dinner.

When should employees be allowed to have lunch? At three? Maybe they can cram their dinners in at the same time.

You not only don't have a clue what you're talking about you don't have a clue to whom you're talking.

Then again, being clueless is pretty much a requirement for Trump supporters.

Not so much, actually. Most of his businesses failed. I suppose there are some jobs at his golf courses, but I doubt there are many of them.

and apparently you care more about what Canadians think about your election than your fellow Americans, a lot more given the tens of thousands of posts you have on a forum filled with Canadians.

Clue: nobody cares about your constant attention seeking.

The cross border attention seeking for this American election is quite obvious, as exemplified by this CBC Q&A session:

CBC poll analyst Éric Grenier will be taking your questions on the U.S. presidential election LIVE — the polls, the state of the race and the impact of this week's debate.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/eric-grenier-presidential-election-questions-1.3784072

This is just another election in the U.S., but it is fascinating to observe the watchers from across the border. Trump knows how to pull their strings and steer media attention, even in a foreign country.

Just another election in the US. No big deal. The US is in total isolation from the rest of the world so why would any other nation talk about it.
