Hillary used a PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER!!!!!!!


This is basically their argument. I'm in Canada. I was listening to a sports talk station and they had on an American from ESPN or something talking baseball. After the segment the Canadian hosts asked him about their whacky election. I think half expecting him to say how crazy Trump was. Most all of us up here think that. Instead he said "I hate it and especially that I am going to have to vote for Trump. He's not fit he's rude etc..but I CAN'T vote for Hillary. She has this email scandal. And its a case of best of the two evils, and he is the least of the evils. The hosts then asked why vote at all then, and he went on about how he wanted to teach his sons that voting was important etc.

I think the hosts were a little dumbfounded. They didn't ask any more on the topic. But it made me think. There are a lot of Americans there that seem like smart, honest people that are convinced that despite ALL of this sleazy corrupted behaviour by Donald, they will always believe, through decades of conditioning, that Hillary's "evil' tops anything Trump has ever done or will do as President.

And I think that even IF, hopefully, Hillary wins. You'all down there will be plagued with this large segment of society who will never trust President Clinton and think she is evil incarnate. More so even than Obama as he was fairly new on the scene without a lot of baggage. They had to start fresh with him inventing fake scandals.

Yeah, but we expect better judgement from her (because she's shown it).... so it remains an issue. Not as devastating as the GOP would like tho'.

This man is not fit to run a shoe-shine stand, much less The Presidency. To be The President, you must be willing to show grace under fire, tact and humility

Trump has none of those qualities.

It's all about him, all the time.

I hope Trump is completely destroyed by his run for president.

I want him broke. So broke has to pawn his gold plated commode. I want him taken down as the con artist, ego maniac, crooked business man he is.

...then Repubs would call it disqualifying. A couple more days, this will all be forgotten and Trump will begin to rise in the polls again. It's infuriating.

The oppo-researchers on our side need to time a landslide of super negative Trump nonsense to come out about 60 hours before the election.

Can't wait for the next round.

Maybe something around the 15th of the month, followed by a supplemental round of

mini-bombshells timed to catch the news cycle a couple of days before Halloween, then finish Trump

off with an early November y-u-u-u-u-g-e blockbuster of oppo research, self-inflicted, Trump

bombast.

How profound!

"I really want him to understand that he can win this. He is the one person who can beat him — not Hillary."---Gingrich speaking about Trump

28. Social reality is shifting
Tue Oct 4, 2016, 03:29 AM

America is in a social reality shifted from the pretentious wisdom of the Trump-iolites of commercial television theater fiction and nonfiction. When in reality it is what I would coin as a Trump trap; a reoccurring protracted history of the thirties and forties, that culture in leadership dominated by Arian concepts. Divisive in ethic senses.

An interesting article appears in the Wikipedia presentation about Arianism. Those schooled in such concepts should sift through observing relations to that era in that the Christian church embraced fascism.

Or ornate crowns the “Iolite” the gem of healing, Iolite Spiritual Energy, Iolite Healing Therapies. Iolite governance of old Norse dominance.

Myself as a passionate person to understand the depths or magic in mathematical relations, especially those polynomials used in science such as thought or image processing.

Those simple or complex polynomials taught in grade school needed to understand how to think about energy of the mental mind. Especially “Iolite Color Energy” [ a paragraph from the WiKi article]

“Violet Iolite takes on the darker hue of winter's majesty, the time just after the winter solstice. It inspires awe, and invites a feeling of mystery and magic, nobility and luxury. It is one of the most powerful rays in nature, helping us interpret our dreams and inspiring us to great deeds and accomplishments. Dark violet crystals are dream talismans, providing insight and giving us a window to the soul beyond ordinary understanding.”

As Trump says great things…like hiding behind two decades of a one percent tax advantage only to surface proclaiming I know these things I can fix them.

This begs the question; what other great things is Trump and the one percent hiding behind.
There is a wide contrast in the Republican virtue that prefers to sail with old Norse myology yet loaded with a dark penetrating reverence of the Sith lord.
