I mean, he lies about big stuff and he lies about little stuff. That doesn't sound like someone I want to be president. You can't trust what he says.

Some people are so addicted to lying that they lie even when telling the truth would serve them better. He strikes me as one of those. Simply incapable of honesty. Probably lies to himself constantly too.

That is how you diagnose him as a pathological liar. It truly is a mental condition for some.

I swear, he thinks we're living in the era "BV"--Before Video. He doesn't seem at all concerned that his bullshit from his gubernatorial debates, that hilarious Senate Debate, etc., will be dug up for our amusement.

He really is a shitty candidate!

I cannot believe what we're seeing here. How does someone deliberately stealing from the government become the head of said government.

Why would you pay the bank to keep your money safe for anything other than hiding it from taxes?

http://tribune.com.pk/story/411992/21-trillion-hidden-in-tax-havens-campaign-report/
<snip>
The world’s wealthiest individuals have stashed $21-trillion worth of assets in offshore tax havens, equivalent to the combined GDPs of the United States and Japan, a tax-transparency report said on Sunday.

The report commissioned by campaign group Tax Justice Network drew data from a wide range of sources including the Bank of International Settlements and the International Monetary Fund.

Report author James Henry, former chief economist at consultancy McKinsey, said that the headline figure was conservative, adding that up to $32 trillion may have found its way into havens such as the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.

According to Henry, these assets are “protected by a highly paid, industrious bevy of professional enablers in the private banking, legal, accounting and investment industries taking advantage of the increasingly borderless, frictionless global economy”.

The report found that the top 10 private banks managed more than $6 trillion in 2010, up from $2.3 trillion five years earlier.

Can't you see him in that Executive suite at Bain's corporate office looking over the balance sheets and looking at how he can make the maximum profit with the least amount of his own personal risk. Or see him running a board meeting where he dismisses any talk (if someone would even dare to bring it up) of the affects of his vulture capitalism on the lives of the workers of the companies he was milking for every last fee and dime. That's the "president" I see...saying what it takes to get what he wants the way he wants it. Sadly there are many in this country who think and believe the same way he does...

prey know what your thinking or planning, then when they least suspect it, the vultures go in for the kill. He is a very adept sociopath.
