Hillary doing what she does best yesterday, buying things with other peoples money to gain something for her. Locking up the college vote with free tuition...ignoring the fact too many people currently go to college, lets increase those numbers at the tax payers expense.

Actually, I recall reading earlier this year that none of the five still-living presidents will be endorsing Trump.

It should be four. Clinton shouldn't count, given the conflict of interest.

Still, of the ones mentioned, it doesn't appear that HW or W will be supporting Trump.

Trump is losing cause he can't keep his mouth shut and he cannot grow his base of support.
This. Trump is the one keeping Trump out of office.

As I just said in another thread, you're voting against somebody who says jackassery. You're also voting for somebody who has committed (and is STILL committing) ... jackassery.

There's no excuse for voting for either of them at this point. And if you are, you're putting a party affiliation in front of the greater good. That's really all there is to it.

How about the fact Trump's mouth and his insane ideas are sinking his campaign.
Face it, people are not buying the bullshit he is spewing.

If you say it is sinking, so be it.

"Insane ideas" ---- such as:

free college for all ...................while we are $20 trillion in debt (half of it in just the last 8 years......without free college)

tax increases on the rich ...............oh really, and that is going to pull us out of repression

tax increases on business...............as if that will prevent further offshoring

expand on obamaKare ................to put the final nails in the coffin of what was once the greatest health care in the world

raise the minimum wage to $15 ..............as if that will solve the problem of 94 million Americans out of work

expand federal regulatory reach ..................... as if we haven't already squelched innovation and investment

shut down the fossil fuel industry ............... kills what jobs are left and skyrocket consumer utility bills



If you want to talk about truly "insane ideas", please start there. You are so far in the tank and the stranglehold of the big spenders, you have no idea of what reality is anymore.

Have you tried sharing your knowledge on politics and the economy elsewhere? Maybe attempt to make a difference aside from blithering on an Ohio sports forum with 13 active members?

This could have all been summed up by saying, "Clinton has ideas that are just as insane."

You didn't really contend with his point, but maybe you didn't mean to.

I like Clinton's FP views and accept she is the lesser of two evils.

Way to deflect.
You cannot accept the reality that Trump is losing in every swing state and is on course to be blown out.

Oh, and Clinton released her 2015 Tax returns today. When will Trump release his?

How is Hillary the lesser two evils when she has a track record of being one of the most corrupt politicians to ever hold office? Misconstrued quotes is more evil than making capital M millions off world wide charities?

If you want to believe he is going to get blown out, that is fine.

As for your comment regarding "insane ideas"; I merely listed just a few of Clinton's; I doubt you can refute that they are indeed insane. Trump's economic ideas on the other hand, make nearly perfect sense. If we are going to begin generating economic growth, the choice is easy.

I know you think Trump is a meanie, but let's discuss the true policy ideas of each candidate, and the insanity will become readily evident.

Trump has yet to provide a ton of details regarding his economic policy. Cato has a few decent talks/articles on the topic though.

IN 2015 Bill and Hillary gave 1 million to charity. 96% went to the Clinton Foundation. Chelsea makes $900,000 working for the Clinton Foundation. These people are incredible.

Sure we can criticize that. But, at least we know what they gave.
How much did Trump give to charity and when will we know?

And the rest was donated to Desert Classic Charities whose 2015 tax records show donated $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

She runs a criminal, money-laundering enterprise, and some on here: a) accept her return at face value, and b) are more worried about the other guy's tax returns. Mind numbing.

Umm ... forcing her to release her health records would be a violation of doctor-patient confidentiality.

Also, why? You think she secretly has cancer and is going to go all Heisenberg if elected?

We could call her Hillsenberg.
