    Once again, you conflate the Clinton Foundation with "her own pocket," presumably hoping we won't notice.

    Meanwhile, Donald Trump's companies, which he actually DOES own, are swimming in debt -- at least $650 million worth -- including to the Bank of China.

    http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/donald-trump-debt.html

    Although, in all fairness to Mr. Trump, it should be noted that this probably does NOT disprove his claims of not being beholden to anyone, since it has been demonstrated over and over again that Trump feels no obligation to actually PAY his debts.

    And of course they wouldn't list his assets. Do they even know how businesses work?

    In contrast, Hillary had absolutely nothing to sell except access and US foreign policy. Both of those are illegal to sell, yet she made billions off of them. Huma's e-mails reveal that Clinton Foundation donors did get very special access, including help finding influential jobs for donor's relatives. But that's just touching the surface. She also sold US foreign policy to the highest bidder, and had no qualms about arranging arms shipments to jihadists like Al Nusra and ISIS - if the price was right.

    She is everything liberals claim to despise: a lying, self-serving, amoral, corrupt politician who feeds the world's instability so she can profit off the corpses. She's incorrigible, and if you elect her she will not stop doing these things, and she will go to prison for them. The Democrats could then just close down as a political party for the next twenty years.

    Your guy is loosing, loosing, lost. At this point all that you're doing is mournfully pissing into the wind with your mouth open.

    Again, Hillary has so much corruption and dirt out there and Julian Assange, the Russians, the NSA and God knows who else intend to send her to prison instead of the Oval Office. Of course if she does win, the national security folks will just assassinate her. She's too great a risk.

    Looks how hard she's straining to open a can of pickles that one of her staffers already opened for her.

    There's a stronger case for Lincoln freeing the slaves than there is for Reagan ending the Cold War. (If any one person can be said to have done that, it's Gorbachev.)

    I agree with that. Reagan didn't end the Cold War, internal forces did.

    Reagan was the cause of those internal forces. He sabotaged their economy - badly.

    Not to mention it ended in 1991 three years after Reagan left office and seven years after his brain rotted away and he spent his time drooling into a bowl of cheerios.

    It is a real thing, a lawsuit has been filed and it has some credibility as an accusation as many details line up (Trump and Epstien were best buds back in the days before the latter's conviction)

    #ManyPeopleAreSaying Trump is a pedo. We're going to look into it. SAD!

    No, I am the type of idiot that fights for an electoral system that gives me more than two choices. Are you the type who can't be bothered to do that, then ignores the system you have and throws his vote away anyway, helping the Hitler du jour get elected that way?

    You prefer actual corruption to boorish behavior?

    You'd rather your wife cheat on you with your arch-enemy and deny it than fart within earshot.

    As Trump stated, loudly, it's a Third World level of corruption.

    Right. Actual Corruption would involve a quid-pro-quo of using her official authority to directly benefit the contributing party.

    Which may have happened but isn't proven by the existance of the meetings.

    Meanwhile, gturner backs a completely ethical candidate:

    And who is paying for Trump's campaign? Trump is. :bailey:

    If he wants to pay his own campaign out of his own pocket, so be it.

    And yeah, 84 people who met with Hillary totally gave her $154 million dollars because they didn't want anything in return, even though she was handing out special favors, special status, and changing US policy to protect her big donors. Do you think she would have shielded Boko Haram if some Nigerian oil billionaires who wanted Boko Haram protected hadn't pledged a billion dollars to her foundation, and given millions of dollars to her directly? Or do you think she's happy to support the kidnap, rape, and murder of women on a massive scale?

    this one is rich. Trump figures to win by appealing to the two groups of people who are least likely to have anything other than contempt for him.

    FTA:
    Because that was an impostor doing all his campaigning up until now.

    'Boorish behaviour' doesn't describe ruining the economy, ripping up the constitution in favour of xenophobia and hatred, spitting on soldiers, destroying international alliances, selling out the country to foreign strongmen leaders.

    Yes, but Obama's terms are about over, so Trump can take us past xenophobia and hatred (clinging to guns and religion), spitting on soldiers or leaving our people to die in Libya, destroying all our alliances by pissing off our allies, and Hillary and Obama letting Turkey and Saudi Arabia buy US foreign policy.

    So how is he a xenophobe when he runs business around the world and married an Eastern European? He's probably the least xenophobic person to ever run for the Presidency. Hillary, in contrast, is an unabashed 1960's era racist bitch. You might as well run Archie Bunker. She goes to black churches and says "I don't feel in no ways tired" in an accent that would make a Klansman giddy with delight at her insights into defects of the colored race.

    No, he's not. Have not listened to a single one of his speeches or are you just listening to the lying leftists in the press who are lying like dogs?

    I listened to his speech in Austin yesterday evening. There was a complete lack of xenophobia.

    The media, all liberals, are trying desperately to push the racist/misogynist/xenophobe bullshit they always do, but they're trying to pull it on the person those attributes least describe. It was Trump who opened up top tier society to blacks and Jews. It was Trump who opened up top level management jobs in construction to women. It was Trump who built an empire that caters to people around the world. His daughter Ivanka is a social and fashion icon who has appeared on the cover of everything from Stuff to Town & Country.

    In comparison, the Democrats are running the corrupt head witch from Hicksville who would be a better fit for Old Sparky than a chair in the Oval Office. She was bitterly opposed to gay marriage and gave a stunning speech against it. Her closest aide supports female genital mutilation and Saudi Arabian social policies. Hillary's husband's mentor led the fight against segregated schools, because blacks shouldn't mix with whites. Hillary destroyed the lives of women who accused her husband of rape, and those number about on par with Bill Cosby's accusers. She is racist, power mad human garbage from the 60's who needs to take a dirt nap for crimes against decency, the Constitution, and fashion. A lot of the push back on burka bans comes from Muslim women who are horrified at the thought of dressing like Hillary. It's a leap backwards, and shouldn't be forced on any woman who doesn't have to wear a catheter and an adult diaper.

    And if they get harassed, they can just switch to a different tier! Which proves we are not at all xenophobic, if we'll even allow women in our midst, right?
