^ Good to see that other people also remain undistracted by Trump's showmanship. From what I see, Trump started out as a clown, and his comic value has made him popular in a tongue-in-cheek way to people who look for entertainment in the news ( which is something we all do to a certain extent). But then he became a lose canon, doing more damage than he seemed to be aware of, (as on his trip to Mexico for instance), and now he is like the domineering, abusive head of a family; the Republican Party has been reduced to the pitiful status of a battered wife who is too scared to demand a divorce. These sad women who remain in abusive relationships are at risk because of the normalization of violence; they've been beaten so often that they start thinking, "Well it wasn't so bad this time; he didn't break any bones." The danger of course is that they start missing the red flags of escalation until it's too late. IMO, that's what's now happening to some of the American electorate; they expect DT to be outrageous and if his remarks are not too offensive they just let them go by with a laugh. I just hope when it comes to election time, they make a clear appraisal of just how much damage DT is doing to America itself, and to American prestige worldwide.

I just had this horrible nightmare that the American election was between two corrupt power hungry a$$holes known as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Thankfully though I woke up and saw Bernie Sanders and Gary Johnson debating on tv. Whew! glad that it was all just a bad dream. Can you imagine if Trump and Clinton were your only choices. MAN THAT WOULD F'N SUCK!!! |

Please explain why you consider Clinton a corrupt power hungry a$$holes.Is this based on hearsay or GOP talking points, or do you actually have some concrete facts to back up your statement?

How accurate is this? Not doubting it but want to know the truth.
(i.e. is it biased)
