If that's what you want to believe, sure, go ahead. She was as corrupt as they come. At least Biden doesn't really have that negative about him. Heck, even back then I remember ABC News having the temerity to put out an investigative piece on how they sold government contracts for the rebuild in Haiti to FOB's. Needless to say, Haiti is still in pretty dire straits. But that was pretty ballsy for ABC News to put out a story like that in October before an election.
You can only pick Trump or Hilldog...which one would you be voting for?

He gets over 269 electoral votes. As long as this thread is, I can’t believe no one has said this.

If I’m willing to stipulate to that, isn’t stupidity better than what Hillary would have emboldened?

Re: How Trump Wins
Insidious and covert corruption more dangerous and cancerous in the long term? (I thought that was clear from the discussion.... )

Re: How Trump Wins
Kind of agree here. No one pretends Trump is a person of virtue. Heck, he's almost cartoonish in how corrupt and lacking in morals he is. Hillary and the Democratic Party, on the other hand, will still claim to be angelic while behind the scenes being just as corrupt as Trump and others. I still harken back to the night before the last election - Hillary had a rally in Philly in front of Independence Hall, with Bill in tow and with both Obamas, and a friend of mine on Facebook, a women's studies college professor, made a post of holding up her daughter so that she could get a glimpse of such storied history of seeing all four of those persons on that same stage at once. I'll grant you the Obama's, no issue there, but given Bill and Hillary's sordid history of corruption I thought it was a tremendous effort to not only sweep that under the rug but to lionize the two of them at the same time. Thankfully, Hillary's defeat let us leave the Clinton's in the past where they rightfully belong. Thankfully that level of corruption, and insidious is a good term for it, was not successful. Then at least.

Re: How Trump Wins
Yes I know. You said it was his emboldening of stupidity. Thus you’re saying his emboldening of stupidity is WORSE than Clinton’s known/covert and insidious corruption that is cancerous and more dangerous in the long term....

Re: How Trump Wins
I thought then and still think that a Clinton Presidency would have been more dangerous and damaging in the long term.
Is Trump responsible for emboldening AOC, AnTiFa, etc's stupidity too? That's a heavy cross to bear.

Re: How Trump Wins
Called it out in the other thread - do you have any details to support this bluster or is it just bluster. I'm all in favor of lambasting Trump for his real flaws, but you've been floating this out there and never backing it up with facts.

Re: How Trump Wins
Yeah - i've never really bought into the Russian theory. There'd be something and there's just a lot of noise. The Democrats screwed themselves by hammering on nonsense and with no evidence. They should've kept their mouths shut and only spoken up when they had irrefutable evidence.
