Since that seems to be the biggest gripe with HRC, what about Trump's past makes him seem more trustworthy? I've got to say, they both seem like they are primarily looking out for number 1 - one just chose to do that in politics and the other in business.

I think anybody who rises to or aspires to this level of politics is looking out for number one.

Rather than compile a long list going back to the 80's, I would just ask you the same question: What about HRC's past makes her seem more trustworthy?

Quote:I ask so many questions about supporting Trump because I truly don't understand the rationale behind voting for him when he seems to be so out of touch with the political process, how the world works, how decent human beings should treat others that they don't like and agree with, and how the leader of our country should carry themselves (hint - it isn't saying you wanted to hit the mean people at the DNC talking badly about you).

My vote will be symbolic, no matter what I do. it will be a vote against Hillary.

Quote:I 100% agree that, regardless of feelings towards Trump, voting is important and everyone should do it. Heck, I even think people who will vote for Trump should go and vote - our political participation is astoundingly low in this country.

Agree.

I think HRC and Trump are probably equally untrustworthy, so if we set that bar as equal then we move onto other presidential qualities. I value the fact that HRC at least has the demeanor necessary to be the head of state and experience internationally to successfully not ruin our foreign relations MUCH more than the potential positive that, should Trump get on track down the road, that maybe he doesn't put his foot in his mouth over, and over, and over again. If anything, I don't want a President that openly advocates violence against people who say mean things about him.

"Donald Trump admitted Thursday he has thought about getting revenge on speakers at the Democratic National Convention who attacked his campaign.

'I was gonna hit a number of those speakers so hard their heads would spin — they'd never recover,' Trump told attendees at a town hall in Davenport, Iowa, Thursday afternoon."

You don't like Trump for things he said, I don't like Hillary for things she said...and did.

I was personally offended by Trump's statements about rapists. I am part Hispanic and worked on the border for decades. But I looked more closely. he was talking about Mexicans or Mexican Americans - he was talking about illegals. I used to have illegals wade the river and come up through my parking lot. I used to leave a hose out, until one day one of my secretaries came out and there were two naked men rinsing each other off. She was scared, and not because they were Mexican.

Immigration needs to be controlled as best we can. A wall is a stupid way to do it. I have a better plan, but it would require a lot of space. If you want to hear it, PM me.

I was offended by his remarks about Fiorena (that face) and Cruz's wife.

I have been offended by HRC many times, as she insults me and/or my intelligence.

Is your vote more FOR HRC, or more AGAINST Trump? Mine is totally an AGAINST vote. It is unfortunate that pointing out HRC flaws is seen as a defense of TRUMP.
