    I'm looking forward to the upcoming debates, and while I don't necessarily "support" Trump, I appreciate his fuck-you-I'm-gonna-speak-my-mind way. Not sure how that'd go over on the international front (could you see him getting into it with Putin or Lil Kim?), but after all of the PC-ness and covering your ass whether in politics or entertainment - same difference? - or any other walk of life really, kind of nice to see.

    When the debates come around ,that's when we can see really where he's at with issues and policy, and if he has the chops.His candidness is refreshing,but it's sprinkled with a lot of bullshit and bravado.I still think he is a flash in the pan and a Bush/ Kasich ticket would be a power play.If anything he's added a little hot sauce to this election cycle.

    and the rest of the US feels the same way so this should be interesting, I'm just having a hard time seeing trump in office because really he has no politcal back ground...but I think that would buy him votes. I also agree that going up aginst Putin and others will be scary for the US but I wouls hope he would listen to his advisers unlike obama who seems to be using or threatening exictutive action if he don't get what he wants.

    I admit, there are some things I like about Trump. I also appreciate that he isn't PC in a world that has PC madness (but obviously he goes overboard sometimes). And his sense of humour isn't bad. But his lack of tact just isn't appropriate for a man trying to be the POTUS. World leaders need to show more restraint and self-control.

    Hillary Clinton.
    I've seen Hillary smeared and blasted by political opponents for decades and I'm convinced it's all just that, a smear campaign. She has an outstanding resumé and proposes most of the issues I favor.
    Now I see the people defending her being attacked and ridiculed to silence them. It says a lot.

    If there is any classified information on Clinton's server, there is no way she could be considered a candidate. No soldier would keep their title if caught with classified information. I can't see how you could expect the commander in chief to get away with it.

    But she has had ample time to erase information, so I'm thinking she has a 50/50 chance depending on how good her tech staff is.

    I'm not going to have time to debate but here's the thing. In our country, people are innocent until there is proof that they are not innocent. The day Hillary has a perp walk, I'll rethink my position. Until then, it's all just nasty politics and a smear campaign to cast doubt on her integrity because the other political party wants the White House - and I'm not persuaded.

    lots of history involving the clintons that come to mind, however they are both well trained and self taught politions.

    It's not nasty politics when she broke the law by using a private email account and people want her to answer for that. The fbi isn't going to get involved especially with a democratic president unless something is very wrong.

    I feel like I'm missing something that should be very obvious and easy to understand, but why is it a big deal that Hillary may have used her personal email account? I'm pretty sure I've done that on my job before.

    It's that she used her personal email account exclusively so as to hide things from the public record. In doing so she appears to have housed top secret information on a personal email server in her home.

    I think this, like most all political scandals before it, has been overblown by the opposition. Sounds worse than it is. However...mishandling classified information is still a big deal.

    The "vast right wing conspiracy" has tried and failed for years to put a scandal onto Barack Obama. Yet with almost regularity and ease they are able to do so with Hillary Clinton. I think that says something about her conduct.

    Democrats would do well to look for another option.

    They all seem like a bunch of jerk-offs to me.

    And if I have to vote for jerk-off, I'm voting for my homeboy, Pee-wee Herman.
