For some bizzare reason many people I speak to in Ireland think Hillary is the reincarnation of Mother Teresa and nothing could be further from the truth

Have you figured out why?

No, but if I were to guess I'd say it's because they get their news from very left of center sources.

I'd say some are also falling for the old "Republican bad/Democrat good" nonsense

That's it. They are either all listening to the wrong people, or they are all stupid.


Anyone who thinks Hillary is a good person (my attempt at humour said a "reincarnation of Mother Teresa") is either misinformed or very stupid.....yes that would be an accurate assessment

That being said, she is a much better candidate than Trump and I wouldn't fear for world
Peace were she elected

You can be a terrible candidate, but still be a heck of a lot better than an ever worse candidate. Hillary is the former, Trump is the latter and again as I said earlier in the thread she if I lived in a swing state I would vote for Hillary over Trump.......but she still sucks bigtime

If Trump is really worse, why are 90% of your posts attacking Hillary then?

Nonsense!! Sure even died in the wool Republican media across America are endorsing her!

What are you on and can I have some?

The only conservative media in the states that is consistent is fox, you lot have the rest in your pocket!

The sheep in Ireland are a joy to behold, they love killing, ignore her many foibles and attack trump without giving thought to balance and objectivity, a bit like those on here who watch the Avery series and knew more than I did even though I lived down the road from the f**kers.

I am telling you when this tr**p gets elected she will set the USA back thirty years politically, morally and financially.

Congratulations laws,the slavery party is back for a third term, Jesus wept!

Fox News is right and everything else is wrong.

Everyone in Ireland is wrong.

Who else?

Yes, the Democrats WERE the slavery/segregation party... until half a century ago.

The Republicans ARE the southern strategy party.

2 sides of the same coin, but seemingly shes the brains behind the operation.

Anyone who would highlight the "corrupt" nature of the Clinton foundation (currently providing 11 million HIV sufferers with life saving medicines as well as other projects) whilst ignoring, or equating it with, the misdeeds of the Trump Foundation (currently supporting the upkeep of two six foot portraits of Donald Trump and Tim Tebow's helmet in Trump Tower, whilst paying off elected officials in Florida by using donated funds, fundraising without a license in New York City, and which has not received one dime of money from its founder since 2008) has a seriously skewed moral compass.

There is a reason that the law recognises misdemeanours and felonies as different things. And Hillary has never even been charged with a misdemeanour. The Donald has fatally miscalculated the scrutiny the spotlight a presidential run brings. Whatever the result, the odds are far lower of Donald seeing the inside of a prison cell by this time next year. His foundation and Trump U aren't going away.

Seriously corrupt and evil? When compared to Trump? Or are you just going to ignore him, in the knowledge that any honest comparison between the two would have him topping the polls in those categories by a landslide.

Trump is worse...I have said that numerous times already and I will vote for neither, though if I lived in a swing state I would probably vote for Hillary to prevent Trump from getting in, even though I fvcking hate her.

We are currently living with the repercussions of electing one fvcking moron (W)....I cant even imagine what election another would do....I think it would finish the country...and Im not joking, Im deadly serious.

If there were open primaries Bernie would probably have taken Hillary down. he would be currently leading Trumo by about 20 points, and even though I disagree with Bernie more than I agree with him, I think he is a good person with good intentions.

Donald Trump has somehow managed to pull off  the biggest con job ever on the American people. 

Maybe they are as fvckin stupid as people actulayy think they are.

On the other hand a client of mine quoted Winston Churchill to 2 Hillary supporters and they had never even heard of him.  One was a graduate of Amherst College...a borderline Ivy League School, and oth other was a graduate of the University of Vermont...a top tier 4 year school

"If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain"

Yes, but what did Churchill mean by "conservative"?

I seriously doubt if he had the average modern GOP congressman or Republican base voter, never mind Trump, in mind!

I'm in my 40s now. With a young family. The GOP is a rabble. The Dems aren't great, but at least they have some element of common sense when it comes to social, environmental, scientific cultural and various other issues. The GOP doesn't offer anything that would appeal to me over Democrats. Maybe, in a local election in NYC, but on anything affecting national politics, I am not going to do anything to help empower their anti-intellectualism, conspiracy theorizing and general appeals to the basest instincts of their white, christian base.

Pence's "win" in the veep debate didn't seem to do him much good. Hillary's odds of winning are now up to 78.3%. I could see it reaching the nearly 90% that she had after the convention.

I have a prediction...Hillary will win easily enough, but will have to resign before her first term is over due to scandal

Don't tell me ... Benghazi?

No.....Clinton Foundation.

There was serious pay for play going on and the smoking gun is contained somewhere in the 30,000 deleted emails.

Benghazi was just the tool the Republicans used to suponea her emails (IMHO)

What favours were granted?

Do you have a problem with Citizens United?

All will be revealed in due course

I have a problem with any public official who accepts bribes or who personally benefits from peddling influence or favor

So do you object to Citizens United or not?

Is unlimited funding of political campaigns by corporations and wealthy individuals a good thing?

What's the difference between the Clinton Foundation accepting donations and the Koch Brothers or Sheldon Adelson bankrolling campaigns?

The Kochs ain't doing it for the good of their health!

J70....youre way behind the time. Citizens United has benefited Democrats way more than Republicans


Dont take my word for it.....what about Mother Jones....you most likely couldnt find a more left leaning blog if you tried
