That, you can not prove but one thing for sure. Trump is doing an excellent job at brainwashing, especially here on C-D.

How else can you explain how a thin skinned dictator who acts like a school yard bully can get so many supposed intelligent people to stand up for him?
It certainly isn't because of his warm magnetic personality.

Do you really want a dictator to be your president?

Anyone who still supports him simply has to ignore or discount the dozens of racist, bigoted, sexist, hateful and cruel remarks he has made over the decades. If one truly thought those remarks were egregious, no way could someone support him.

What do you think about hillary laughing during discussing a child rapist? Making what many consider to be a racist joke/skit with the NYC major? Pandering to blacks with hot sauce? Making what many consider to be derogatory remarks about native americans?

Her racist tinged comments against obama/during her 2008 campaign?

Hillary Clinton needs to address the racist undertones of her 2008 campaign

Hillary Clinton, Racist: Top 5 Worst Comments (in Public)

How Can Black People Trust Hillary Clinton After the 2008 Campaign?

You'd give money to a "charity" who operated like this/respect the people who run it?

Charity watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘slush fund’ | New York Post

"The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid.

The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends."

Does any of this factor into your equation or do you simply ignore/write off this part of the person you support?

Please, enlighten us....why the double standard?

My "attitude towards women"? Seriously? Gimme a break. You obviously know nothing about me.

Once again, no woman should vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. Heck, no one should vote for Hillary at all. Period.
And Trump is someone we should all vote for, please. It is a lesser if of two evils and Hillary is one we can recover from pretty fast. Trump will just set us back at least a decade. Either one is a one-term president in the making, I just can't vote for Trump and too pragmatic to waste a vote on a third party (Johnson is not an option with wanting the Fair Tax.) So I guess I'm voting Hillary to express my displeasure in the Republican choice.

Seriously? A woman who is under fbi criminal investigation? Can you please read the law, what the state department has determined, and understanding what she has done with having a private server/top classified docs on it, do you feel this is someone you can trust, let alone follow the rule of law?


Hillary Clinton broke the rules for using private email, State Department says - LA Times


Hillary Clinton's email server violated state department rules, audit finds | US news | The Guardian


"§1924. Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material

(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both."

If she was president/got caught doing this and the fbi recommends to indict, do you realize this could very well be impeachment grounds? Something you think our nation needs, this type of character of individual leading our nation, and can recover from "pretty fast"?

The United States is turning into such a spectacle. Both Clinton and Trump are under investigation.

Trump is going to have a civil case against him in November. Clinton is now under fbi criminal investigation.

Contrast and compare. BIG difference.

She doesn't have Trump's temperament issues. She's not thin skinned. She doesn't "react" like he does. You can abuse her and she doesn't flip out. (You can't do that with Trump because he freaks out at the smallest insult.)

Trump has no idea how to apologize for anything. He's never done it. The word "sorry" is not in his vocabulary. If he was a guest in another country and committed some cultural crime (like not taking your shoes off in some countries), he would never say "sorry." He would be rude instead.

As oppose to a race-baiting hot head who will likely start wars with a country that the leader of cancels on him, yes. Trump's tweets over being challenged on things (Megyn Kelly for example) make me fear for foreign policy. Hillary maybe a hawk, but she wouldn't start wars over stupid menial crap. Also I said I would vote Democrat, not Hillary
