Except not many people know Hillary's sketchy past goes all the way back to insider trading on cattle futures in 1978-79. I think we know very little about the true intentions of either of them.

Lol crazy
That's being generous, but we seem to have more or less reached the same conclusion. One of the candidates is a pompous self-promoter, compulsive liar, bully, proponent of racist speech and action (if not actually racist), claims to have raped women, as well as generally speaking disparagingly of women in all circumstances, idolizes tyrants, speaks with a 6th grade vocabulary, can't be arsed to prepare for the the campaign or describe his policy in any substantial detail, and probably isn't as good at his primary job as he purports. The other candidate only shares some of these terrible characteristics, prepares for the job at hand and appears to take it very seriously, and despite her character flaws (which aren't few) and policy issues with which I disagree, appears more and more human every time she's compared with her competitor.
If this keeps up, I'll end up liking Hillary; this is Stockholm syndrome at its worst, and I'm beginning to feel like one of the beautiful women Donald admires, having my innocence stripped away by lecherous greed.
I've a good friend who worked for both Condoleeza Rice when she ran the NSC and for Hillary when she was at State. My friend is a Republican through and through, but she's voting for Hillary - she sees her as well-qualified and hard working, even though she has policy differences with Hillary. My friend enjoyed working with both women as they both ran their respective groups efficiently and with an open-mind. If you had an idea or concern, you were expected to speak up.
I don't see the same intellect or openness in Donald.
Regardless of Donald thinking he'll outsource the job to Mike Pence while Donald is "great", being POTUS is hard work regardless of your party or approach. I suppose in some ways, though we've relatively poor final choices, there's some logic to the grueling process you need to get through to become President. Because the job is harder than the campaign.
It's apparently not all delegating to your cabinet and raping women; sometimes you have to man up and lead the free world. Maybe Donald should have asked Bill what else is involved in the day-to-day?
To be honest, I'd rather grab a [Poor language removed] than be one, but it's probably best if the grabbing is consensual.
Ha! It's not just having your way with the help? I knew there was a reason I never wanted to run. Maybe I should have run a casino or four into the ground.
And then there's just bat-s**t crazy.
I started to laugh reading that... and then I realized there are many, many people out there that will believe him. Scary.

Amazing how the Americans manage their affairs. It doesn't seem possible for a decent, clever, level-headed person to become president any more.

OK Hillarites. The floor is yours. How about we stop the negativity and you all start to actually discuss some of her positive qualities?
And no, being "a woman" is not a positive quality. Nor is "she's not Trump."
Oh, did I just end the thread?
