Bernie Sanders said honestly that taxes will increase a little so that people will not need to pay health insurance premiums. He could have lied and said there will be no tax increase, to please everyone for the votes. He also made it clear that the Corporate America will not love him. He clearly is making enemy of the Wall Street billionaires.

Trump has made some of his stands clear that may deter some voters, such as the tough stand on immigration.

But as far as I can see (point out if I'm wrong which is possible), Hillary Clinton hasn't made any outright points that may strongly deter voters from her. (The people who are strongly against her are mostly due to what they know as she has been, not what she has said during the campaign). She has been a smooth, rounded candidate that tries to appeal to everyone. As she so slickly responded in one of the debates to the question "Will Corporate America love you?"--"Everybody should." (Where Bernie Sanders reply was a blunt "No".)

Now, obviously it's impossible to please everyone. People have different and conflicting interests. If you please Wall street, then you would not please the rest; and vice versa. If you please those tough on immigration, you wouldn't please many Latinos, for example.

So the conclusion has to be: Hillary Clinton has been lying. The only reason she's lying is that if she speaks truth, she'll lose many voters.

Since she's lying, some trusting voters have voted or will vote for her.

Bottomline: Beware of a candidate who is too "rounded".

Clinton lying. That isn't news! She has been branded as a compulsive liar. Blog: Is Hillary Clinton a compulsive liar? and Hillary Clinton’s million little lies | New York Post

How anyone with a conscience could vote for her, I will never understand. The way I see it, only someone suffering from the same delusions as Hillary could cast a ballot for her, but we have a lot of people like that in the world.

I just can't fathom the thought of a woman running our country who let an intern bang her husband and stood by him and now has him campaigning for her. It shows she's weak!

Love's got nothing to do w/it.

I don't prefer her.

You can point to lie after lie told by the 3 leading Republican candidates. Trump can't even remember what he said 3 days earlier, Ted Cruz says that liberals will "sandblast crosses and stars of David off of dead soldiers tombs".

Give me a break with your lack of understanding how anyone can vote for her. Politicians lie, not just the ones you and your talk radio heroes hate.

Hillary has taken it to an entirely new level. The odd thing is, the (D)'s actually have one of the more honest politicians they could vote for and still, so many vote for the habitual liar.

He did lie, because they'll go up more than "a little," and the "so people won't have to pay premiums" is a crock, too.

As with every redistribution scheme, government busybodies will determine what THEY think you can afford to pay--to subsidize someone else.

It's generally a good idea for voters to know what socialism is in action before they vote for it.
