    Something shocking about her comes out nearly every day. She is truly and awful candidate and clearly a worse person.
    Nice try. Trump is a contemptible person and woefully unprepared to be any type of national political leader. Hillary is also contemptible and corrupt, but she has political experience. Amongst two terrible candidates, she is the less worse choice.

        Pretty sure Trump didn't free a person he believed to be a rapist on a technicality and later laugh about doing so, either.

        Great, Hillary has political experience. Let's see, when her husband was president he let her handle health care and Hillarycare was a joke. While secretary of state you can't really point to anything she accomplished, but hey she is under federal investigation related to activities surrounding her personal email and her "charitable" organization. I can't really think of anything she accomplished as a senator, either positive or negative, so that's a plus, I suppose. Hillary hasn't shown anything in terms of being able to lead, so that political experience you are relying on as swaying the vote to her favor isn't really very favorable. Are you just okay with political experience and don't really care if it is good or bad?

            As an attorney you separate the emotional part from the logical part and you have a duty to rigorously defend your client. If the law frees a person, well that's the Constitution's fault or the police's fault for not doing their job correctly. I don't know what part she was laughing about (although the way you put it you intimate she's laughing at rape victims), but I have zero problem with this. Sorry.

I think the land for the park was donated by a former Belizean politician who had just finished a book on Belize's history. I bought the book and spent most of the time we were at the park visiting with him about Belize. It was really strange to listen to some whitey who spoke with a Caribbean accent.

                Either of these two is going to turn the US into a third world country.

                Donald will turn us into North Korea - wack job leader with his finger on the button.

                Hillary will turn us into...Philippines? Venezuela?...any number of countries where a person is elected and promptly becomes (or has a relative become) one of the wealthiest people in the country. She'll tell you she knows what it's like to be poor. And, like Scarlet O'Hara, she is determined to never be hungry again.

                  Agreed (but then, I'm a lawyer, too). Despite The Iman's assertion, Hillary didn't free anyone, but represented her client well and the court freed him. And the laughter I heard, irritating though it always is, wasn't one of smugness or pleasure, but more of chagrin that a system would allow a criminal to go free. To suggest Hillary delighted in his release is simply an overswing. There are a great many things to dislike about Hillary; her representation of a scumbag isn't one of them.

                    When did we start calling it "representation" to be married to someone?

                      You're right. Because Hillary has been a mediocre senator and secretary of state, Trump is a better choice, because he doesn't laugh at letting rapists go.
                      Oh wait, you don't vote. Why are we arguing this?

                      This is why my eyes start glazing over when people criticize Hillary. I'm sure there are many legitimate criticisms of her. I get it, she's very unlikeable and has skirted the law. But I am so tired of the constant Clinton hate the right has spewed for over 20 years now that I just start ignoring it all. The old GOP guard has jumped the shark with the Hillary hate. Does whitewater and Vince Foster mean anything anymore? Yet these are still bulleted with all the other supposed Clinton scandals. It's good to attack her over the email scandal. But the right continues to lose all sense of proportion when they go after her.

                      So c'mon, Venezuela and the Phillipines?

                      • George Will is no longer a Republican. He's right to be more fearful of Trump and a GOP controlled congress than Clinton and a GOP congress.

                          • Viet Nam? Really? Good hell, what is this fantasy with retiring with your U.S. dollars to a hot, steamy part of the world with a developing world infrastructure? That's for young people that find adventure in deprivation. Within three months you'll be longing for dependable electrical power, a good apple, a decent cheeseburger and a Route 44 Diet Lime Aid.

                            Go do any of these fantasy places for three months and see if they still hold the appeal.

                            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
