I didn’t like Hillary, but she wouldn’t be selling our national security and allowing Russia to gain more ground for a personal favor, while inviting foreign interference in our elections. What other favors will Trump be asking for in another four years and god help us all if a major military conflict breaks out demanding our involvement, I’d trust Trump with our national security about as far as I could throw his fat arse.

Trump’s approval ratings are mired in the low 40s, and he may remain the first president since modern polling began whose favorability number has never been above 50 percent in a Gallup poll.

she married a predator, lied to protect him ( claimed
the gop was framing him), and slut shamed his victims on national
tv, calling them narcissist looney tunes.

Spin that in a positive way.

Gimme a break. She and Bill are deeply corrupt. But he was a good
potus. like the current potus, deeply flawed but doing a good
job.

then why are you so scared?

Why does Newsweek have to
lie about what he did over thanksgiving? Why can’t the media be fair for a day?

none of that's even close to the current scummy person we have in office. Did you feel warm and tingly when the president-elect you voted for stood up there and made fun of spazzes and retards (the "takers")? When he calls people human scum? Do you know of a lot of people who have been banned from ever starting a charity like our president is? And how are Bill and Hillary corrupt and why haven't they been arrested or indicted?

Actually, it is me calling you out on a stupid meme you posted. I am not surprised to see you lash out with gibberish when cornered with common sense.

Sure,they are honest as the day is long.

Besides having to reimburse the White House for all of the items they “mistakenly “ stole.

Who would ever question their integrity? Certainly not a #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.

Keep in mind Russia hacked the RNC and the DNC but they only released the DNC emails. You have to wonder what they found on the RNC.

paul, my disdain for trump is deeper than yours, because it’s genuine, not political. i decided during the clinton years that a potus could be a scumbag but still be a good potus.

Hilary also had benghazi where she kept flip flopping on what happened, she took zillions from shady foreign governments tonher foundation when she was sec state, the email
server thing should
have resulted in an arrest according to TDF who is non partisan and a subject matter expert.

the vast majority of my comments about Trump deal with his character or lack of character more than his politics which I certainly disagree with a lot of. Clinton and Benghazi was a made-up issue in which a tragedy was politicized. Again, all of the Democrats and all of the Republicans who ran for president had far better character that who the Republicans ultimately elected.

you attacked Trump ( fairly) for insulting people, but said it’s not as bad when hilary went on national tv and slut-shamed her husbands victims.

you said it was a fabricated controversy, that hilary blamed a video ( therefore blaming an american citizen who made the video) for the benghazi attack.

Trump does more vile things than Hillary or anyone does in a year and yet you are the one bending over backwards to defend him by trying to make a comparison where there is none. The Repub. bought into conspiracy theories (as they seem to be doing now w/UKR re. election interference and as they always seem to do) to try to blame Hillary for Benghazi.

i don’t bend over backwards to defend trump, not ever. he’s a morally bankrupt reptile and i never would have voted for him
in a primary. but i believe his policies are far better for the nation than hilary’s would
have been, and that’s more important. she’s also no slouch in the corruption department.

i don’t blame hilary for benghazi ( though she owns the decision to reject the ambassadors repeated requests for
more security). i blame her for the way she reacted to benghazi, by throwing an american citizen under the bus. who else should
i blame for her actions? Did Trump force her to do that, with a Jedi mind trick?

Some of Benghazi was made up and some was beaten to death, but a sizeable majority of issues (the Video, Stand Down, consistent bad decision making at State, MISSING EMAILS FFS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ON GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS) did exist.

he’s probably going to get re elected, so there will
be more temper tantrums. the threats to the experiment are deeper than trump I’m afraid. the entire media is working for one political party, we are weakening the family which is the bedrock
of everything...

I still haven't heard a convincing argument on why he should be re elected. Caracter isn't a quality the Right wants nor is honesty or competency or a stable foreign or domestic policy the deficit isn't a concern faith he has none . The economy and jobs ( hes done nothing. Structurally no infrastructure) its a sad reason to vote for Trump because Dems hate him and ingnore the rest.. and thats putting America 1st ..

All that the Dems need to unseat him is a competent candidate. If anybody on the left is aware of such then they are doing a great job of hiding it.
