Just because she knows how to play the game doesn't mean she is better than him. I agree he has next to no clue and is a huge buffoon. If elected he has a great chance of being the worst President ever if he continues to act as he has. I see no reason why he would change, perhaps even get worse. I am certainly not a fan of him, but around here is you go against Hillary you are deemed a Trump supporter and insulted. Whatever.
Yes, it does. It absolutely does. Clinton knows how to negotiate political deals; she can set realistic policy goals; she will not let her a fragile ego or petty revenge dictate her actions; she doesn't fuel racism, sexism and religious discrimination; she will
actually assume the responsibilities of President.
You see what I mean? This isn't a case of "dumb and dumber." It's a reasonably competent (though far from perfect) candidate versus one who shouldn't even be allowed to run as a city councillor, let alone run the US.
And no, you're not a Trump supporter if you don't like Clinton. I respect that. But to me, Trump is so fundamentally abhorrent to the concept of a democratic republic that it's worth voting Clinton just to keep Trump out. Think of it this way: Clinton would at least preserve some shred of the dignity of the country. Trump would not.
Yes she has done a lot of "shady" things, and we find out more and more by the day. Are they all true? Seem to be when they don't denounce them. I am sure some things aren't though, just as some aren't about Trump. Other things you've said are opinion about him. You could say some of the same things about her. Trying to get people to vote for her because she is a woman, isn't that like someone not voting for her because she is a woman? Support gays and women? Well unless you live in a country that abuses and kills both and she takes money from them. Or are a woman that was abused by her husband, which then she tries to destroy them. But those are all lies too, right? A pretty clear example of the media and peoples bias to me is where some people think Trump wanted 2nd amendment people to kill her based on his comment. Yet when Hillary suggested he get taken out back
To me there is no viable choice. I've been waiting for either to be the type of President I would vote for. I simply cannot vote for either. The last two elections I didn't get to vote because I was deployed and could not, this one I very likely will sit out even though I can vote. Which to me is sad, I have always believed that we have a duty to vote, and you can't complain if you don't. But as of today that is where I am.
Then you have people like this who are so ignorant and misguided that they think Hillary's only flaw is that she's a woman, which isn't even a flaw (Yes I think he is being sarcastic). Ignoring all the facts of "flaws" she has. Who doesn't even know what context to use women or woman, yet Hillary supporters continually call Trump supporters stupid? So ready for this election to be over.
Just because the Clinton campaign hasn't gone out of its way to deny a claim doesn't mean it's true. Remember, the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks and conspiracy-addicted sites like Breitbart are not only throwing as much mud against the wall as possible to see if it sticks, they're trying to make mud out of things that aren't. Like the Podesta emails... if you actually examine them, there's not much there. Fighting every false or exaggerated allegation would not only consume a lot of time, but would give them credibility that they don't deserve.
This isn't to say that every claim levelled against her is false, just that there's a lot more fluff than there is substance. I would be especially worried about believing claims when it's pretty clear that the Russians are trying to manipulate the election through a hacking campaign.
I'm not so naive as to think that people are only criticizing Clinton because she's a woman. But on issues like LGBT rights? Well, it's simple: she'll protect gay marriage and anti-discrimination measures. Trump would appoint Supreme Court justices that would be against those measures, and just by virtue of being a Republican would likely sign any bills reversing progress for the LGBT community. I don't want the US to slide back into darkness simply because the Democratic candidate has some ethical concerns in her past.
