Is this democracy in action, or media persuasion? Might is be both? Are the people being entertained? What do we have here and what are we missing?

We have a BUNCH of people pandering to their chosen audience. Every. Last. One.

If we are too blind to see it - then that's our fault. Yes, the people are being entertained.

And H. Clinton has used and still uses her husband for their foundation and politically that affects many.

But H. Clinton is the one who started with her "woman card" BS.
Obvious attempts at deflection. CD posters favorite habit when they have no words of substance to add.

That poster at least replied to your post. You have failed to even attempt to refute my post directed at you.

Does anyone really believe she would take a meaningful stand against these regimes, as you would expect an outspoken advocate for women's rights such as she claims to be to do? Fat chance.
How about we worry about women in THIS country and then we can discuss women in other countries. Yes, I do think she would concern herself with women's issues. She is, I don't know if you have noticed, a woman.

Donald Trump has no high moral ground on which to speak and he got reminded of that Sunday. How ugly his divorces have been; highly covered in all the Tabloids and the accusations that were aimed against him.

He readily acknowledges this - but thinks it doesn't matter because 'he wasn't President at the time'.

Neither was Hillary.

The 'Woman's card' has been Trumped. Time for you to accept the obvious reality on this. Hillary has said herself she is standing down on this issue.

Why do you care about his divorces they are his personal business ? As far of old bag face her personal business is our business , her Bubba has been accused of many scandalous sexual encounters while in office but you already know this . Hillary is just out for her loathsome self she does not care about anyone else but Hillary , greed is her middle name . Are you a woman ? If not please don't speak about her concerns for US women .

Let me see - HER business is YOUR business but Candidate Trump's business is only his own.

Sure, that makes sense said no one ever.

I'll speak about whatever I want and if you don't like it - don't feel the need to reply.

Power, money, fame, etc. is certainly an attraction to some women, even if it for all the wrong reasons.


Men also are attracted to women based solely on their exterior looks, despite a despicable person that is just laying under the skin.
Neither gender has the moral high ground if they get together for superficial things, or their own self interests.

I didn't see your post. A gold digger for a first lady is a poor example for the young women, and men of America, as is a president who constantly trades in his wives for younger models. I have always believed it should be emphasized that there is much more to a deeply fulfilling partnership than looks and money.

That doesn't matter as a high percentile here in the USA know of gold diggers - nothing new and she'll only be another example not a poor one.
