I'd like to hear the argument. Well except for using a wrong server for her emails, there has never been the shadow of a proof that Hillary was crooked. Meanwhile, the life of Trump is littered with cheated customers, ruined investors and thousands of lawsuits, and his short political career has been built on one lie after another. But apparently nobody seems to notice how rich it is to call anyone, least of all Clinton, crooked. On that subject: | ||

On that subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnQoE3s7J7g HRC is so truthful and honest that she was given 4 pinocchios by the washington post. Then she had an opportunity to address it, where she gave an incoherent answer that didn't even acknowledge why she was defending her position in the first place . I don't expect you to even respond reasonably to this, but am more interested in the delusion you will come up with to protect your views. | ||

Hard to say how good the poll is, though added to the other polls it would see GA is truly in play. I think it is "in play", but I also think the GOP will be able to pull it out. They will need to spend more time and money on GA, which will hurt them other places, but in the end, I think they will get GA. But who knows, maybe forcing the Trump campaign to react will cause all the damage it needs to. | ||

Trump supporters who refer to Hillary as "Crooked Hillary" because of her few scandals and occasional accusations conveniently ignore the fact that Trump has had thousands of lawsuits and scandals surrounding him and his shady business dealings. One of many articles citing that figure: "An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits." ~ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/01/donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/ | ||

The man is a con artist that pretends to be a successful business man. And he will threaten anyone who says otherwise with a lawsuit. | ||

Responding to your statement that Hillary is crooked because she lied x times does not mean the only defense is "your candidate lies more". Its a response to your allegation, nothing more. | ||

Not at all sure yet that it's the best approach, but it seems like a better idea than protectionism; and people switch jobs and careers so much more these days, that a continuing ed approach seems worthwhile. And I'm not sure how many poor people would be able to afford the private continuing ed options that are available, so it may be better for society to offer such options free, just as we have free K-12 for everyone. These days so much just changes from when you were last in school that continuing ed is more important than it used to be. | ||

Literally your defense is my candidate has fewer scandals than the other one. While I agree with you that the bar is set remarkably low for this election, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump aren't even remotely comparable in terms of scandals. A few versus thousands? At best, Trump supporters should ignore the whole topic altogether and move on to policies (which, admittedly, is tough when your candidate doesn't actually have any consistent views or realistic strategies for anything). At worst, Trump is a hundred times more corrupt, less professional, more douchey, and less prepared than Clinton is. | ||
