Trump is a disgrace. Stick a fork in him. He's done.

Some key points about Hitler from this review:
1. He was often described as an egomaniac;
2. He was known for a “bottomless mendacity” that would later be magnified by a slick propaganda machine that used the latest technology (Twitter!);
3. He was an effective orator and actor;
4. He presented himself in messianic terms, promising “to lead Germany to a new era of national greatness,” though he was typically vague about his actual plans;
5. His repertoire of topics was limited, and reading his speeches in retrospect, “it seems amazing that he attracted larger and larger audiences” with “repeated mantra-like phrases” consisting largely of “accusations, vows of revenge and promises for the future.”
6. His ascension was aided and abetted by the naïveté of domestic adversaries who failed to appreciate his ruthlessness and tenacity;
7. He could not be tamed;
8. He had a dark, darwinian view of the world.

The warning bells are there.

But you go ahead and attack Hillary again on emails and her husband's record from almost 20 years ago.

I think where many people are mad at him is that he implies that he can just go up to any woman and kiss her or grab her *****. He could have said the much cleaner "grab their vagina" and I think that people would have been equally offended. People aren't so prude that they get offended by dirty words, but people to recoil when someone is implying that he can get away with sexual assault.

Now, was he serious? I don't know. But let's be honest - we've all seen the 50 or 60 year old guy at the bar who thinks he's God's gift to women and that he can just go up to them and bring them home. At worst Donald is a sexual predator, at best he's just creepy old man.
At best, Bill Clinton is both the predator, creepy old man and rapist/ molester. Hillary ridiculed each and every one of his victims. Who is the real disgrace here?

From March 2016

Quote:
4.6 hours of stump speeches and press conferences, from a rally in Concord, N.C., on Monday to a rally on Friday in St. Louis.
Quote:
It equates to roughly one misstatement every five minutes on average.

From September 2016

Quote:
Donald Trump went for the liar’s gold in Monday’s debate, and scored. Last week he clocked an impressive rate of lying at one falsehood every 3.25 minutes of his public speeches, interviews, and tweets. He blew that record out of the water on Monday night. According to the Toronto Star's count, he had 34 lies in roughly 90 minutes. Doing the math on that, it's a lie every 2.65 minutes.

From October 2016

Quote:
One reporter, the Toronto Star's Washington correspondent Daniel Dale, came up with a whopping 33 Trump lies in 40 minutes of talking (a lie for every 1.2 minutes), while finding five from Hillary Clinton.

A shoo-in to break the Lie A Minute barrier in Debate III. If he shows...

I would maintain, it's not a lie if one doesn't know it's a lie and is simply repeating what they believe to be true. In such a case it's "untrue", "incorrect", or "a falsehood". This would require one to know what the speaker knows to be true. In Trump's case, I'm fairly sure he doesn't know the truth...but doesn't know he doesn't know or...simply believes he makes it true by saying it.

The man is a freakin IDIOT!...I just can't.
Part of gaining wisdom IMO is the ability to see from other perspectives and rationalize why other people view things in a way that you do not

I know many liberal friends who can really argue their position cohesively and intelligently. I however am a Trump supporter. Some things you have to agree to disagree on. We all have to live together.

You should see some of the people I hear in person say the things you said. Some real winners!

Likewise, I have some acquaintainces IRL who are admitting their vote for Trump is solely due to their stance on anything ANTI-Hillary. When asked why they prefer Trump, most can not set forth a legitimate reason FOR supporting him, this election unfortunately appears to be polarized purely between 2 parties who are forcing voters to vote for their candidate only as a way to PREVENT the other candidate from succeeding.
Given the latest polls however, this is all for naught, Trump is losing ground by the week and HRC will likely win the election in any event.

Trump is unique in his despotic and totalitarian form of campaigning, behaving and speaking - that the similarities can no longer be ignored or pushed under a rug. History tends to repeat itself, we need to listen.

She was clueless and caught red handed on many issues as usual. However her incompetence and lack of honesty really shined last night.

Kool-aid infused with Trump sweat (ewww, I hope it's only sweat).
