Everyone knows politicians lie to get into power so the lies are ignored and their records and their CV are looked at instead. Hilary's perceived lies are the legacy of her time in office whilst Donalds record is that of a successful businessman.

It's a good point. Doesn't mean it's fair, but just about every politician lays claim to being a Beltway outsider - Trump really is.
So is Bernie

No he's not.....he's been in Congress/Senate for 25 years! 

The Iceman

For any Seinfeld fans out there I think Bernie is a dead ringer for the voice of George Steinbrenner:

Larry David was the voice of George Steinbrenner in that series.

True....I've heard him referred to as a political "outlier"

I watched Trump's NH speech

Really interesting. He uses very simple words. Short sentences. No depth. He is speaking to an audience with a low attention span. He doesn't go into policy detail. Just we'll get the best people.

I think Ron White is better

He has way more of a claim than most, given his independence and having been universally written off as a socialist kook.
