Jill Stein: Donald Trump is Better Than Hillary

October 12, 2016
by Gary Barnes


Jill Stein took to C-Span today and declared the Donald Trump’s foreign policy with Russia is simply better.

UNDER HILLARY CLINTON, WE COULD SLIDE INTO NUCLEAR WAR VERY QUICKLY FROM HER DECLARED POLICY IN SYRIA. I SURE WON’T SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT AND HILLARY CLINTON ELECTED. WE HAVE ANOTHER CHOICE OTHER THAN THESE TWO CANDIDATES WHO ARE BOTH PROMOTING LEGAL POLICIES. ON THE ISSUE OF WAR AND WEASEL WEAPONS, IT IS ACTUALLY HILLARY’S POLICIES WHICH ARE MUCH SCARIER THAN DONALD TRUMP WHO DOES NOT WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH RUSSIA.

2. And people asked me why I backed Bernie instead of my own party.

*sigh*

[NCTraveler]

14. Things like this entrench the two party system even further.

I just don't get why a party with considerable support in the past(Green Party) would do this. They have so much better to offer.

[Hortensis]

25. Unfortunately, no. I looked at the party hopefully when it was

formed; like other liberals concerned about creating a sustainable society, I wondered if it might represent my thinking better than the Democrats. But literally from the very beginning it was already attracting too many irrational and incompetent wingers. Been there before, and I knew then that it would be what it is now. I'm just surprised it's survived this long.

[NCTraveler]

29. The irrational and incompetent wingers is just a distraction.

We have plenty of irrational people in our party. That is a distraction used to parlay from the platform and the many solid supporters they have had over the decades. I'm not sure how one makes that leap.

[Hortensis]

37. It's a matter of proportion, NC. Competent, rational people

were already being outnumbered and overpowered when I took a serious look. They'd failed to agree on their goals and how to achieve them and were instead already quarreling among themselves over those and other things big and small, which is a very typical dysfunction.

I notice they managed a high-sounding mission statement. But to this day--years later!--they have not agreed on a worthy set of the goals the party was formed to fight for, much less a viable strategy to achieve them, much less organized and gone to work to make them happen.

[NCTraveler]

38. I agree with you about proportion.

You are correct there. Completely. That is really hand in hand with what I was saying. They have marginalized themselves to the point they have lost great people like the poster above for the moment.

[Hortensis]

41. It's a shame.

Now I just want them to dissociate themselves from the name. It's a good one. Or, of course, evolve into something that could honor it.

[Democat]

3. Trump will surrender America to Russia so we won't have war

Clinton will stand up to Russia so there could be war.

This statement is like a joke.

[Iliyah]

4. This says it all.

Pursuant to t-rump and stein, if we don't make nice with Russia we will be sorry.

[JustAnotherGen]

6. Is she still talking?

So over her nonsense.

[Agschmid]

7. What's unfortunate is I'll have to run into her at the grocery store at some point.

Ugh.

[geek tragedy]

8. crazy narcissist says what? nt

[artyteacher]

9. another russian agent eom

[okaawhatever]

36. Yep. Was even at the birthday party of RT two seats away from Putin. Her parents are also Russian.nt

[LenaBaby61]

10. No one cares ....

Jealousy much Jill

That Putin-loving, trollish, whacka-doodle and her racist VP can go kick rocks.

[still_one]

11. Ms Stein has just exposed herself as the emperor with no clothes

I really question her mental stability

[PunksMom]

12. Jill Stein has no clue whatsoever.

[Sophiegirl]

13. She is as unhinged as he is. nt

[beachbumbob]

15. Nothing about trump is better..who is Jill stein??

And who cares about her opinions.

[True_Blue]

16. Russia wants Trump to win

Not exactly sure why, but we can be sure that it's not to benefit America in any way whatsoever. Trump has spent his life debasing, abusing and screwing people over. Why would anyone want this stupid asshole running our Country?!

[Old and In the Way]

17. Stein/Trump - the Vichy Tagteam. Nt

[grossproffit]

18. She's as evil as he is.

[kysrsoze]

19. Yup... she's on the payroll. What a pathetic asshole.

[Rocknrule]

20. I wonder how much Donnie is paying her to Nader this election

by siphoning votes from Hillary?

Get
Republicans
Elected
Every
November

[DFW]

21. The search for relevance where there is none

It is leading Jill Stein to some very strange places.

[apnu]

22. Hey Jill, this shit is why you aren't polling over 2% anywhere.

Even Greens can see you've lost it.

[BainsBane]

23. She's deranged.

[lillypaddle]

24. She's kind of a Green Party

Michele Bachmann.

[Sunlei]

26. see Trump, you should have picked Jill Stein as VP. No ties to Republicans & she hates Ds too.

Trump you've always said a woman will work harder for less. Jill Stein carries your water for free.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Well they both love Putin

[patsimp]

28. are green supporters as stupid as trump supporters? after this, stein should be at 0

[bigdarryl]

30. And Mark Thompson has this woman on every month on his show giving her air time

It clearly appears to me that the Green Party is a front for the republicans to siphon off votes from the democrats.No sane Progressive would say Trump is better than Hillary

[Maru Kitteh]

31. Vladdie Putin and his Russia Today love her also. So hard to figure out why.

[arthritisR_US]

33. Given that she pals around with Putin and

his thugs, is anyone surprised? I'm not, her depravity knows no lows...

[Stevepol]

39. The responses to this post are off the rails.

I'm not voting for Jill Stein. I can't think of any possible circumstances where I would ever vote for Trump.

But this post and the responses to it are way off the rails.

First of all, how does one get to asserting that Stein says that Trump "is better than Hillary" from her statement that Hillary's foreign policy with regard to Russia is worse than Trump's???

Trump's policies regarding Russia, as indicated in his public statements, are actually much better than Hillary's and much more likely to bring about or sustain peace. To me, that seems obvious. How does that make Stein some sort of devil incarnate?

Hillary could make one of the US's better presidents, but if she doesn't at some point modify her attitudes toward Russia and in fact her overall approach to foreign policy, the US could be a world of trouble after her election. After voting for Hillary and if, as I hope, she is elected, I will continue to hope and pray that she alters her foreign policy positions. I will also hope and pray that she finds somebody other than Kissinger to use as her mentor in foreign affairs.

[babylonsister]

40. trump's policies towards Russia?

Do you honestly think he has actual policies, towards anything? The man is a blivet; he hasn't proved to me he gives a rat's ass about Russia or anyone else, and anything emanating from his piehole could turn on a dime. IOW, I don't trust a damn thing he has ever said because he's just not that into us or the US.

[Stevepol]

61. I also didn't say that I believed he would follow his policies,

but with regard to Russia, probably because he has financial interests in Russia, he would pursue better policies vis-a-vis Russia than Hillary, whose STATED policies involve confronting Russia in Syria (imposing a no-fly zone e.g.) which could easily lead in directions nobody in his/her right mind wants.

Trump's overall policies would be all over the place I'm sure and would be far worse than Hillary's, and I trust him fully as little as you do. He has no idea what the difference is between the truth and a lie. But why make Stein out to be some kind of Trump supporter? Why not take what she says and not read into it more than is there? She was simply trying to show that her policy toward Russia (which is closer to Trump's STATED policy) is the better policy. She is running for president, which she has every right to do. And she doesn't strike me as mean-spirited or irrational in the least.

Isn't it possible anymore to just treat people with respect and not make a lot of assumptions about that person's integrity when there's no reason to make that leap?

[LanternWaste]

43. It then follows, what precisely are Trump's policies towards Moscow?

"is worse than Trump's??? "

It then follows, what precisely are Trump's policies towards Moscow?

[Stevepol]

62. Nobody knows what Trump would actually do, even Trump himself.

He would probably do whatever would most advance his own financial interests and his megalomania.

In every debate I've seen where he's asked about Russia, however, his STATED policy involves working with Russia more closely, which I believe is a very reasonable tack to take. If the US and Russia could begin to trust each other and work together, it might be possible to create a very much better situation in the world. It wasn't Russia that invaded Iraq. It wasn't Russia that blew up Libya and created greater chaos there than ever. It wasn't Russia who tried to find some non-existent anti-Assad group that it could supply with arms in the "hope" that this group could somehow defeat Assad and bring about some kind of heaven on earth. These Islamic fighters are all cut in the same mold and the people of Syria probably consider them all with distrust and fear. They all cut people's heads off and strike equal fear into the average Syrian.

[NastyRiffraff]

42. I remember when we thought doctors were smart

First Ben Carson, now Jill Stein, gives a lie to that.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

44. Have a friend on my FB (former Bernie support) who that feels same way

She is clearly more comfortable with Trump having his finger on the button somehow for reasons I don't understand. Hillary used to be SOS and I haven't seen or heard anything that suggests that she is eager to go to war with.......anybody. I doubt that Trump will start war with Russia, given that he admires and is probably good buddies with Mr. Putin but that doesn't stop me worrying that he's not going to try to get us into a messy war/military conflict elsewhere or try to nuke a world leader who sets him off.

[BobbyDrake]

45. And this is the BoBers second choice, huh? This idiot?

Hardly surprising.

[JoePhilly]

46. She and Trump should get a room.

[Bill USA]

48. really, since Michelle Bachman is no longer quoted on "news" programs, we can thank Jill Stein for

giving us all a little comic relief..LOL!

[Madam45for2923]

49. Awwww! There she came out and said it! Probably trying to say that all along!

What a crazy buffoon!

[Blue Idaho]

50. So ends the relevance of Jill Stein.

FOP = Friend of Putin.

[Gothmog]

51. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for trump

[Jim Dandy]

52. Two Putin peas in a pod

Jill and Donald.

[Lanius]

53. Oh boy, she's unleashed the crazy

Jill Stein is a hack and a tool. She's giving Greens a bad name. I'm not Green but I do like some of their platform and know good people who are Greens. I think the Green Party would be better off not nominating her again, what with her cooky theories on WiFi signals and her attempted undermining of Clinton in favor of Trump. Trump!!! Wow.

[HassleCat]

54. Stein is only half right.

There is a danger of neoliberal foreign policy provoking a confrontation with Russia, although a direct US-Russia conflict is highly unlikely. It would probably be some kind of proxy war, perhaps in Syria, maybe in Iran, where we back the rebels and Russia backs the government. We are close to such a situation in Syria right now, but Obama has a cool head. So Stein is correct in proposing there is a certain risk of a certain kind of conflict with a Clinton presidency. But Stein overstates the risk for dramatic effect, so she's really not even half right, maybe 20 percent right.

Where Stein really misses the mark is in proposing that Trump has any kind of policy, plan, coherent approach, etc. toward Russia. He simply blurts out how he admires Putin because Putin is a "strong" leader, meaning he gets to do pretty much whatever he wants. What Stein fails to recognize is that someone like Trump, someone who admires totalitarian leadership, is likely to reverse course on a whim and decide he should antagonize Putin instead of praising him.

[Fast Walker 52]

59. I don't think she's even half right, but I can understand the worry about starting a war with Russia

But let's get real-- it's not going to happen, because it would end in a nuclear catastrophe.

it's just talk-- we have to act strong, project a certain attitude. I hope we can get out of this confrontational mentality, but Russia still does pose some degree of geopolitical threat and has thousands of nukes aimed at us. Diplomacy is hard, but it's better than war.

[RBInMaine]

55. Please stop posting shit from that looney toon. No one gives a rat's ass about Whacky Jill Stein.

[Fast Walker 52]

60. Revealing her true colors. She's probably as pro-Russian as Trump, if not more so.

[still_one]

64. Snopes disagrees with this characterization. I personally believe anyone voting third party in this

election is a trump enabler, and that makes Ms. Stein and anyone who votes for her a Trump enabler

Here is the Snopes article:

65. Greens could hardly have chosen a less qualified person to support their causes

Stein's a vindictive RWer in sheep's clothing.

66. What a complete fool she is.

[book_worm]

67. This is why she has zero credibility

[TeamPooka]

68. Was she broadcasting directly from Moscow? nt

[vercetti2021]

69. Can she just go away?

Every 4 years her ass pops up, runs, and gets less than 1%. I supported Bernie hardcore, but behind Hillary 100%. But for any Bernie supporter that votes for this woman is completely going against what he stands for. Just GO AWAY JILL.

[johnnyrocket]

71. She's mental, and needs help.

[hatrack]

72. Gee, I wonder why they're getting 1% of the vote in national polls . . .

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

73. Earth to jill - Im voting for HRC as lesser of 4 evils - with you and Gary tied for 2nd place, after

HRC and ahead of Trumpty Dumpty. Keep talking and maybe Ill demote you further down the list.

WHY does this woman always assume that she is some wonderful ideal candidate that we all should be voting for??? Based on what?

You're not. Im really, truly not all that impressed with your resume. You need to start local and build from there, not just run some vanity candidacy every 4 yrs.

Entitlement much?
