    Trump is a horrible choice, can't deny that. I can understand weighing what little good you can find from the candidates and think Hilary is the lesser evil, I get that. I weigh everything and think Trump, as horrible as he is, is the better choice, but still admit he is a horrible choice and still can't fathom how in the world he was chosen over the 16 other much more qualified candidates.
    This is directed to those who no matter what seem to stand by Hilary's side and make excuses for her or blame the repubs for making mountains out of molehills.
    I don't get how anyone can ignore all of the scandals or give the impression they are fabricated.
    I'm not as concerned that she used a private server as I am she destroyed evidence AFTER a subpoena was issued to hand it over, and everyone, including the FBI seems okay with that. That's just one example among the dozens listed here and elsewhere. If you're going to vote for her, can you at least admit she is also a terrible candidate, just the lesser of the two evils in your mind?

    30 years of mudslinging political theater and nothing has stuck. I'll repeat that: not. one. thing. She has been smeared so repeatedly that there is the appearance of scandal where there is none. The people see through it and are tired of it. Is she Obama perfect? No. But she certainly is more qualified by any and every measure. To consider her the lesser of two evils is insulting. I saw a sandwich analogy somewhere that goes like this:

    Voters: Hello Subway sandwich artist, can I have a ham sandwich.
    Artist: I'm sorry. We ran out of ham yesterday, how about a delicious turkey sandwich instead?
    Voters: I'm so angry you don't have ham, I'm just going to eat this sh*t sandwich for 4 years instead.
    (Trump is the sh*t sandwich)
    Mudslinging hasnt stuck but what about her record of accomplishments, those certainly stuck.....

    I think he was trying to reach out to the African-American demographic. A little late for that Trumpy. That ship sailed when you took answer from a black man in the last debate and immediately assumed he was from the inner city, and then proceeded to call him poor, uneducated and unemployed.
    Is this an attack on JC? Not sure why you need to dumb down the convo. He's providing information (leaks) that not even the White House is questioning its authenticity. That's pretty serious.
    no it refers to Trumps tweet(s) since these were published. had nothing to do with JC.

  • I guess this stuff seems newsworthy in the current climate of a presidential campaign that is mainly run by sitting on a toilet and writing tweets.
    But this just seems like strategy, tactics and politics stuff. Ya know all the things Trump has no time for.

The people see through it and are tired of it. Is she Obama perfect? No. But she certainly is more qualified by any and every measure. To consider her the lesser of two evils is insulting. I saw a sandwich analogy somewhere that goes like this:

    Voters: Hello Subway sandwich artist, can I have a ham sandwich.
    Artist: I'm sorry. We ran out of ham yesterday, how about a delicious turkey sandwich instead?
    Voters: I'm so angry you don't have ham, I'm just going to eat this sh*t sandwich for 4 years instead.
    (Trump is the sh*t sandwich)
    You really think this is just mudslinging, made up accusations?
    No one made up the fact she was served a subpoena, that's fact. She deleted tens of thousands of emails after the subpoena, that's fact. She lied to the FBI during the investigation, that's fact. What part of that falls under mudslinging?
    People are in jail for far less that what she's done, that's also fact. Any one of those can lead to jail time, and would have if her name wasn't Clinton.

    Trump is a horrible choice, can't deny that. I can understand weighing what little good you can find from the candidates and think Hilary is the lesser evil, I get that. I weigh everything and think Trump, as horrible as he is, is the better choice, but still admit he is a horrible choice and still can't fathom how in the world he was chosen over the 16 other much more qualified candidates.
    This is directed to those who no matter what seem to stand by Hilary's side and make excuses for her or blame the repubs for making mountains out of molehills.
    I don't get how anyone can ignore all of the scandals or give the impression they are fabricated.
    I'm not as concerned that she used a private server as I am she destroyed evidence AFTER a subpoena was issued to hand it over, and everyone, including the FBI seems okay with that. That's just one example among the dozens listed here and elsewhere. If you're going to vote for her, can you at least admit she is also a terrible candidate, just the lesser of the two evils in your mind?

    People who have done nothing more than lie to the FBI during an investigation have served jail time for impeding an investigation. Now I don't want to see Hilary in jail, but why does she get a free pass and how can this count for "mudslinging"?

    Hi. Yes, it is one she gets asked about. Not everyone likes her answer but can share it. Betsaida - can you send her answer on death penalty? Sent from my iPhone

    Earth Shattering!!
    How about her public policy and private policy? Was that earth shattering?!?!?! Ah, of course not, we all new she was a two face lying politician.
    That's not public interest thou, no biggie, Hilliary closest sadviser saying she hates everyday Americans. Then connect that to Hillary saying she has no idea what its like to not be super rich.
    "And now, obviously, I'm kind of far removed because of the life I've lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven't forgotten it."
    Your interpretation of this quote is totally off base. She is saying she no longer lives the life she lived growing up as a regular middle class person but SHE REMEMBERS IT. For goodness sakes, copy the whole email instead of clipping only the part that serves your purpose. I've read this particular leaked email in its entirety, and you left out the very crucial part where she describes what it was like growing up middle class and SHE REMEMBERS IT even though she no longer lives it.

    In another email she talks about a bias voters have against successful people, that they get criticized for improving their lot in life. Seems to me that's what we have here in your post. God forbid, the Clintons pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and became wealthy. Isn't that everyone's dream? If I ever growing rich, I'll be sure not to share my good fortune on this page.
    The victim card.
    But wait, How dare you get information from a source outside of C-Span.
    Oh my god, please, how old are you? Do you realize how embarrassed you should be by the way you respond to people? Stop doing it to yourself. Have some self respect.

    If you are to believe that Hillary is as crooked as she is alleged to be, and you see that she has escaped prosecution over 30 years for murder, bribery, perjury, treason, and everything else she is accused of, then you also have to believe this: The FBI Director has failed. The Attorney General has failed. Federal judges have failed. Several Congressional committees have failed. Special prosecutors have failed. Grand juries have failed. The IRS has failed. Everyone but Clinton has failed, if what you want to believe of her is true.

    Can you really look at an entire system of government who have investigated her over a 30 year span, and say that Hillary Clinton is so clever, so cunning, so powerful that she's been able to control our ENTIRE democracy at every level of investigation? It seems to me that if you believe that, then Clinton is not the problem. I would be questioning the competency of every single government employee who has tried and failed to get her. Because, damn, if she's really that good at deception, more power to her.

    I didn't accuse her of murder, treason or most of what was on your list. But with the undisputed fact of the email scandal, yes I would say the FBI and attorney general had failed, allowing politics to guide their practice and decision.
    It is undisputed she lied to FBI and destroyed evidence after a subpeona. It's not even up for debate that these things happened. It's not mudslinging, or made up accusations from the opposing party, they happened and no one denies they happened. How would you argue that the right decision was made? If it was how to you defend the inprisonment of thousands of people who did what she did, or have they been wrongfully prosecuted? I have yet to see a single defense to these actions other than "it's politics, move on" attitude.

    Aren't you the one who stated that you only watch C-Span and that all these links/articles people post around here aren't credible sources? Didn't you call them facebook links or something to that degree? Didn't you also call me stupid?
    Talking down to someone and calling them stupid aren't childish remarks? Cut the drama, especially coming from an educator like yourself.

    Let me know if you need a link to review the shit you've said.
