Whoa...... Let's step back for a moment. There are citizens of the United States of America who want Donald fuking Trump to be president? Think about this. Seriously think about who this man is. You want this man to have his finger over the button that could destroy the world? We've gone down the rabbit hole.... one pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small, and one pill doesn't do..... anything at all.
Damn, we're doomed. Fortunately I have a New Zealand passport. But most of you don't, and they ain't goin' to give you one neither. Nor is Canada. Think about this.

Lol, klimmer do you ever read the articles you cite?
linton certainly laughs during the conversation but at no point does she laugh specifically about the sentence.
Still, Clinton’s recollections may strike some listeners as callous or cynical about the legal process, especially because she implies her client was guilty.
Kessler gives the ad's claim 3 Pinocchios. It's not quite a lie but it is fast and loose with the facts.
On the other hand, your post gets four Pinocchios. In other words,

I encounter a logical fallacy often in economic discussion that I like to call "the grass is greener fallacy." People using that fallacious argument point out all the flaws of one side, and conclude that its alternative is better. Of course, this defies logic unless one compares the flaws of both alternatives.
In any election, but this one in particular, all the candidates have obvious flaws. I've found the backers of the "establishment" candidates of both parties (i.e. Hillary for the Dems, and, e.g., Kasich, Jeb Bush, Lindsay Graham, et al. for the Republicans) more willing to compare their candidates' weaknesses with those of their opponents. I've found less willingness of the "outsiders'" (i.e. Sanders for the Dems, and Trump, Cruz, Fiorina, Carson, et al. for the Reps) backers to engage in that kind of debate.
Trump makes a very easy target when looking for negatives. The guy supplies us new ones (or new evidence of existing ones) every day. So far, though, pointing those flaws out to his supporters has no effect on their loyalty. For that reason, if no other, it surprises me a bit that this thread really does have legs. I guess we like wasting our time in useless gestures.

All the wording came from actual political handouts by supporters of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in 1800.

I'm not sure I believe this....but
[quote]Members of the conservative intelligentsia aching for a Republican to run independent against Trump have concluded that there is “a difficult but viable path” for an independent, based largely on the unusual unpopularity of the two nominees. A well-known conservative told us the final three possibilities are Sen. Ben Sasse, age 44, of Nebraska; Sen. Tom Coburn, 68, of Wyoming; and Mitt Romney, 69.
This conservative told us to expect renewed buzz around this possibility over the next week, and sees “a 50-50 chance that one of the three will do it.”

Trump has no plan for moving America forward.
Trump's plan is to go back in time, to the "good old days".
Here are some of his stated goals for returning America to a prior era:
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
ADOPT AN ISOLATIONIST FOREIGN POLICY
BRING AMERICAN JOBS BACK FROM CHINA
MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE ISLAM IN AMERICA
MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE LATINO IMMIGRANTS
INTIMIDATE OTHER NATIONS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE MILITARY BUILD-UP
ESCALATE AN INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR ARMS RACE
USE AMERICAN MILITARY TO SEIZE OTHER NATIONS' RESOURCES

Klimmer. If you were in MY class and you answered two questions like these...
INTIMIDATE OTHER NATIONS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE MILITARY BUILD-UP
False lie. He does want to make our military stronger again. Under Obama its been weakened unbelievably. Why is that? What's Obama's purpose in weakening our nation?
ESCALATE AN INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR ARMS RACE
False lie. Ask yourself why would Hillary as Secretary of State help sign off on the Uranium mine deal with Russia and The Clinton Foundation then get a huge donation from the same?
I would give you ZERO on each answer. We are talking about Trump and what he wants to do. Not Obama. Not Clinton. You are just spewing.
Edit; So, in other words, False lie. That's fine, but now support that conclusion.

Unfortunately, that's not the way I think. If you think something is false about Donald, I'd like to know why you think so. Not what Hillary did (that which I already know about). And Obama."What's Obama's purpose in weakening our nation?" ...look I don't believe for a second that he is purposefully doing that. That is not a planned objective. It's more a matter of his team not knowing what the heck to do. They can't even cajole the republicans, so how are they going to deal with antagonists world wide.
You all seem to think these people actually have a hard and fast plan and are sticking to it. Did you not read about the Cuban Missile crises, or Bay of Pigs? These guys are flying by the seat of their pants at times.
Edit; I suppose many of you don't remember doing nuclear attack drills, where you hide under a wooden desk for protection. Even then I was thinking survival was all about luck if it actually happened. When you read about what actually happened during that period, how close we were to war. Man, enjoy each day you have. Say I love you to those who are important to you every day you can. That sum it up? Yup, by the seat of the pants.
