Trump vs. Hillary (NO OTHER OPTIONS)

  • QuakerOats
    We can be certain that Trump did not take tax millions in tax deductions for amounts diverted to his own charity.

    We can be certain that Trump has not been running a pay-to-play criminal operation out of the State Department for direct personal enrichment and indirect enrichment through related entities.


    Again, the majority of her support comes from feminists and those receiving public assistance, not from producers and those who oppose graft.

    He may well be doing something worse, we don't know.

    (I say likely not, but hell, we don't know.)

    And, actually, all the polls show her support is a mixture of different groups, which is why she is killing Trump in all the battleground states.
    The only area where Trump is winning are the poorly educated and like old white men. Last time I checked, that is not a path to 270 votes.
    Trump is failing and badly.

    To be as close as he is as a complete outsider and having not spent a dollar yet is impressive. I will wait for the debates and the ad spending, as I am completely sure the media will continue to run interference for Clinton and her criminal enterprises, all the while continuing to parse every single word Trump says.

    If Trump doesn't have a charity, we can indeed be certain that he did not use it in tax evasion.

    We cannot, however, be certain that he didn't commit fraud on a massive scale using a fake school.

    Good God that is some spin. Are you going to say that too after he loses?

    Maybe you can't be sure.

    He is going up against the most-vaunted political machine of all-time, a former president, 25 years of the Clinton name, access to billions of dollars, a disgusting and hateful media, and having to overcome nearly 50% of the electorate who are on the take from liberals using taxpayer money. And yet, he is most likely even with her, prior to the debates and spending ad money. But, have at it .......

    Isn't Trump under audit? I seem to recall seeing that earlier on this thread (maybe, I can't really remember lol) that he's waiting for that to be finished before he releases his info. But I might be just misremembering.

    No he is not.
    The aggregate of polls show him down by more than 3-6 points. That is not even.
    He is getting killed in the battlegrounds states too

    So, if he is that far down by not trying, why isn't he trying more? By your logic, he would be ahead if he was just spending more money and actually running a campaign.

    He's tanking on purpose. The real issue is why it's still somewhat of a race given that she's the most qualified candidate ever.

    Because the only people who like her are the low information crowd :)

    Not sure if serious. But if you are, they correctly predicted all 50 states.

    I can't be certain beyond a shadow of doubt, but since virtually everyone who has looked at Trump University has suggested that it's a fraud, and since the judge recently allowed the lawsuit to proceed, AND since there is still the possibility of a racketeering indictment, it's hardly beyond reasonable doubt to suspect it.

    Same thing with Clinton. Awful lot of smoke for us to be pretending there's no fire.

    It would hardly be a surprise, but I haven't heard that. I know he's facing a civil suit, and there's the potential for criminal racketeering charges, but I hadn't heard about this particular style of hot water.

    even in Florida and within the margin of error in Ohio ...... and that includes some 'media' polls. But if you say it is over, then Hillary will be able to convert her remaining war chest over to personal use; she is great at diverting.

    As the dude on CNN said yesterday, for Florida and Ohio, says Who?

    The majority of polls have Trump down by more than the margin or error.
    Stop getting your polls from right wing sources.

    That's the QQ mentality: Complain constantly about biased media that doesn't share his viewpoint; get all his info from biased media that happens to share his viewpoint. Act like there's a difference between the two.

    Given FiveThirtyEight's track record, I'd say they're arguably the most trustworthy place for polls.

    Can't disagree with that given the fact that they did not miss a state in the last election.

    They're hoping to wave some magic wand and have things get better! I think at this point it would take that and more!

    Wow. Total Trump-clone, complete with the bold power tie.

    They looked brilliant in 2008 and 2012. Not so great this year so far
