Related: About this forumHillary's Campaign Is Unfair to Donald Trump!
As the two major party campaigns are ramping up, it is clear that Hillary Clinton is taking unfair advantage of Donald Trump in a number of areas. Clearly, she is cheating to rig the system and improve her chances of being elected. She should be stopped by someone from doing the following unfair things to prevent her from winning in November. The four points below illustrate just how unfair her campaign is:
1. She is opening and staffing campaign offices all around the country, spending money to try to convince more and more people to vote for her. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is shutting down offices, like the one in New Jersey, and appears to be unable to pay rent for them. Apparently, he doesn't have enough money to keep up with Clinton. Candidates should only be allowed to open equal numbers of campaign headquarters and hire the same number of staff members.
2. Hillary Clinton is traveling around the country and speaking to people in as many places as possible. She's spending campaign funds to do this. Donald Trump can't afford to do that kind of retail campaigning, so is choosing to go only to states near his home in New York. Those states won't vote for him, but he can't afford to go farther away, due to limited funds. Candidates should only be allowed to campaign in states where both can afford to make appearances.
3. The Clinton campaign is unfairly showing ads on television that point out mistakes Trump has made in speeches and elsewhere. Meanwhile, Trump's advertising budget is low, so he can't compete with her advertising. She should not be allowed to run more ads than Trump.
4. In her campaign, Hillary Clinton is constantly bringing up issues and explaining her positions on those issues. Donald Trump has no real positions on issues, and so is unable to speak coherently about them. Campaigns should be restricted to speaking only about issues that both candidates can address clearly and thoughtfully. Anything else is unfair.

(146,329 posts)I mean, he looks like a male human to some degree, anyhow. Hillary Clinton is unfairly playing the legendary "woman card."
How dare she?
mcar
(42,372 posts)This woman card scandal must be investigated thoroughly.
Oh wait, they're on vacation again. Never mind.

(146,329 posts)They're all scared crapless than they'll lose their phony baloney jobs in November. They should be scared. Clinton's unfair campaign will work to the detriment of many Republican candidates who support Trump.

(42,372 posts)She has gone too far with her unfair unfairness of running a good campaign, having (gasp) real policies, and making sense. And doing it while female.

(11,087 posts)thereby undermining his credibility with other Republicans. In fact, she has tricked some prominent Republicans into announcing they will vote for her. How unfair it that? You don't see any prominent Democrats throwing their support to Trump. Even Joe Lieberman said he would support Hillary. Clearly there is real bias at work here.

MineralMan
(146,329 posts)That would scare the crap out of me, frankly. What happens if he loses and decides to make his escape to some extradition-free offshore nation? He'll just hit those card numbers and cash in. Donald says, "Bye, now, suckers..."

(108,192 posts)That sounds like a standard Donald Trump business practice, stiffing those he owes money to.
Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)Isn't he? And doesn't the RNC have something to do with all this? Aren't presidential donations to their candidate part of their accounting not Donald's?
