A presidential candidate should win the election on MERIT

[Rosa Luxemburg]

A presidential candidate should win the election on MERIT in order to have an honorable victory and not by smearing the opponent. It's OK to point out differences in policies but a candidate who resorts to kitchen sink smears/swift boating is not worthy of the office of president. Period.

1. Well, that disqualifies both Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Clinton (nt)

[RobertEarl]

2. Not so. But like an HTeam member posted: She made an

""....ill-advised, tone-deaf, and stupid"" national comment.

That was a comment that shows she is not worthy of being president.

Bernie, tho, is saying all the right things.

4. Are you talking about this.....

Pretty tame 'attack'.

[bigwillq]

6. I don't have access to watch videos on this computer

At work.

8. It's the 'infamous' attack ad from Bernie, where he talks about the dreaded.....

"two Democratic visions for regulating Wall Street".

[bigwillq]

10. Ok. Yes, I would consider that a smear

and an "artful smear" when he brought it up at the debate.

So, Bernie is disqualified.

Thanks for playing.

[daleanime]

12. So any mention of differences is a smear....

any mention of 'certain' candidates record or past statements is a smear.


This is really quite sad. Have a lovely night anyways.

[bigwillq]

13. You too.

3. So, you think voters are too stupid to decide Clinton is the best candidate?

[daleanime]

5. So, you think that it's good for candidates to conduct themselves in that fashion?

[Hoyt]

7. Who ultimately determines ”merit?". Seems to me the best judge are voters.

[daleanime]

9. So that's a yes.

Thanks for the insight. Have a lovely evening.

11. The voters who elected George Bush?

14. and telling the truth!

I am weary of the clinton lies. Yes, you noticed, I no longer capitalize her name.
