She's a habitual liar and will say anything to gather enough votes.
Trump speaks the truth, though outspoken at times. And he's a man that sticks to his word.
I'd rather have the potty mouthed, outspoken leader than the lying, more qualified (on paper) one to lead our great Nation forward.
TRUMP
You mean they worked and paid taxes to pay off their debt? What a novel concept. I do suppose that leaves Wall Street out of the equation.
Yes, they worked 50% to 75% more and paid higher taxes. Forget Wall Street, if you think the average American would go for that, then you don't know this country.

Everything has some consequences, and all (healthy) economy eventually leads to bubble and pop. I'm getting a vibe from you that somehow bubbles are bad thing. They're not, they are part of the normal cycle. Not only is it necessary, it is unavoidable. Just like Iceland will eventually have their own bubble.

China is selling off debt because they simply have so much of it. There is a BIG difference between selling off debt and replacing world currency!! The former is nothing, the later is a fracking huge deal!!

Yes, there are signs; there are also many false positives and we often don't know which is which until after the bubble popped. Case in point, people have been predicting a Chinese real estate crash since 2010! If bubbles are easy to spot then we wouldn't have crashes.

I don't think any average Americans like the bailout, but it was necessary to keep the system from crashing. And I will admit the system we have has many flaws, but it is by far the best system we have. If there is a better system out there, it has not been invented yet.

Fair enough, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

And there is absolutely no proof that "favors" were given. None. Nada.
If you have proof, you should alert the MSM. Otherwise, you're just telling tall tales.

LOL
Like showing the MSM evidence would do any good if it were against Hillary.
What ever happened to the principle of not doing something so as to not even have the appearance of impropriety?
You honestly don't think all or even a smidgen of the pay for play over the years (by people in both parties) has tangible "proof" laying around for citizens to discover, do you
This is about as close as anyone will come short of an actual confession. Many a regular has been convicted for much less.
As to you proclaiming there is no evidence, it is funny how people can be so easily misled, or their willingness to bury their head in the sand and pretend everything is aboveboard.

In other words: you have nothing. It looks bad on the surface so you're just going to assume the worse.
You'll excuse people like me who are more facts based.

It's not me who is proclaiming there is no evidence, it's the government agencies who looked into it who said that. If you disagree, you should have more solid evidence than, "Well, it looks bad..."

That's just one day. (You can click through to the article... it's main content is that each one of those lines is a hot link to the proof for each that Trump told that lie.
Something tells me that Trump's supporters will fail to provide an adequate response to your question, and as a consequence, through their inability to do so, demonstrate that Trump effectively spewed a much of nonsense to try to dupe people into thinking that he was going to "drain the swamp" when in reality once he got to Washington he would have said, "Ooops, sorry - that's not within my purview." Or worse, he'd issue an EO which would be ignored as outside his authority and power to enforce. Or worse still, he'll try to enforce it, thereby committing an impeachable offense.

More than what? More than Hillary giving a speech? More than a cat burying it's ****?
