    So a company sued Trump because they wanted to find some shred of evidence that he knew about some casino, but they could not find anything. Wow. Hand out the gold metal - we found our 2016 Olympic gold metal winner for the All-Around in Mental Gymnastics.

    Agree, and that's unfortunate. Most won't read a multiple pages article, but they will hear the soundbites and that will reinforces their ideas or get persuaded because they don't have a strong opinion to start with. Few have the time or care to know the candidates on their own..

    Not surprised this isn't getting much traction. It seems like much of the GOP supporters are immune to hypocrisy.

    If the last Republican Administration running government emails on RNC servers and destroying millions of them didn't raise hackles not much will.

    Easy:

    She is not Donald Trump. That's literally all you need to know.

    That can go both ways. I'm really looking for a clinical diagnosis from fchowd.

    It's only wrong if someone denies court orders and destroys records and emails if their name is Hillary Clinton. When someone else does it, they deserve to be President.

    I think only one of them suffers from a mental disorder. I think @fchowd0311 attributing Trump's irrational self-confidence to the Dunning-Kruger effect is actually unduly charitable. You can excuse the Trump voter with Dunning-Kruger, but not Trump.

    So you see. Yes it can.

    Besides, I'm still waiting for @fchowd0311 to step up and diagnose Hilary, or is it really that hard to bring yourself to say anything negative about her.

    Well, Eichenwald, who has done the reporting for Newsweek, went into shotgun of facts mode yesterday, documenting a long numerical history of Trump's failure and mendacity, via financial statements, court documents, and confidants. Jesus H.

    I didn't realize, for instance, how untrue the "1 million dollar" starter fund from his father was. And the constant trouble with financial regulations, banks, and investors.

    You can say "liberal media," or maybe you can cherry pick one of these 100+ facts, but how can someone dispute the vast majority of them, and what does it say about this guy's mental health? "Sad!"

    Yes, no doubt. Trump has a record and it is anything but presidential.

    That's some amazing stuff, even at this point of knowing much more about him.

    Opportunistic politician. Extremely smart (that can be good and bad). Highly experienced (probably still has the numbers of half the world leaders on her "Rolodex"). Caters to groups. Flip flops (she has NOT always been for the LGBT community). Tough as ****. A bit too much on the warmongering side. A much better coalition builder than Obama (she's done it before). Thinks that the rules don't apply to her that apply to the rest of us. A bit schizophrenic in that sometimes, I believe she cares deeply about people and the country- and other times, I believe she cares solely about her legacy. Very careful about saying the right thing. Too careful about saying the right thing.

    Not really a motivational, charismatic figure like Obama and W Bush- a bit boring at times. Very strong advocate of the rights of women (in her office, most of her pictures of role models are women).

    Overall, an even mix of an altruist and a careerist. It goes back to that statement about sometimes she does care about others, other times she cares about her legacy. I think you could genuinely apply that dichotomy to every President to date. Not sure if you could say that about Trump.

    Thank you Dandotrik. It's good to know who is aware and able to see the good with the bad. I can respect your opinion.
