[QUOTE]PHOENIX - Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton. The private meeting took place on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport on board a parked private plane. The private meeting comes as [B]Lynch's office is in charge of the ongoing investigation and potential charges involving Clinton's email server[/B]. Lynch said the private meeting on the tarmac did not involve these topics. "Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our travels and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix," said Lynch Tuesday afternoon while speaking at the Phoenix Police Department.

As bad as Hillary is she will uphold Dodd-Frank, support net neutrality, keep pushing on social issues, won't antagonize minorities and immigrants, believes in Climate Change, nominate liberal supreme court justices that could potentially help to get money out of politics among other issues, etc. Trump is just another right winger except completely incompetent, narcissistic, and authoritarian. And to pretend like he isn't himself a liar and corrupt is being naive. You can't trust either, but I'll take the status quo.
[QUOTE=shadow_oap;50620645]nominate liberal supreme court justices that could potentially help to get money out of politics among other issues[/QUOTE] I won't bother with the rest for now-- but can you really say Clinton is trying to make for less corrupt politics when things like what's detailed in the OP happen?

I mean, this is a long convoluted question. This was a long discussion, and they just cut it out. And, frankly, it was extremely — it was really convoluted.” Nope; that was a lie. Trump lies that Wisconsin’s effective unemployment rate is 20%, saying, ""What? Is it 20 percent? Effective or regular? I mean just -- effective unemployment rate, 20 percent. Hey, this is out of the big book." According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, The U-3 official unemployment rate in Wisconsin was 4.6 percent in 2015; Wisconsin’s U-6 rate for 2015 was 8.3 percent. Trump said the 2016 federal omnibus spending bill "funds illegal immigrants coming in and through your border, right through Phoenix." Nope. The omnibus bill does not fund undocumented immigrants "coming in and through" the border; it funds the very agency tasked with keeping undocumented immigrants out, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Trump brags that the Trump winery is the “largest winery on the East Coast.” "That’s not correct," said Michael Kaiser, spokesman for the National Association of American Wineries. Wine industry analysts calculate a winery’s size by the volume of wine produced. Trump Winery is not even the largest in Virginia. The top producers in the state are the Williamsburg Winery and Chateau Morrisette in Floyd County. In terms of sheer size in acreage, both the Wagner Vineyards Estate Winery in the Finger Lakes region of New York and Pindar Vineyards on New York’s Long Island are larger.[/quote] There are just a handful of the lies Donald Trump has uttered during his long string of campaigning against anybody who isn't his vote bank, to wit, the blue collar workers who have the same mindset that he looks for in his supporters. The reason his campaign blew up the way it did is because of all the media attention he got and how he spun any legitimate criticism into a direct attack on himself, his image, and his supporters. I'll be the first to agree that both anti and pro-Trump supporters are at fault, and have both done stupid things over the course of the primaries. I'll also agree that people are free to believe in whatever they want to. However, when confronted with verifiable fact that this man is bad for the well being of the country, has deliberately been inflammatory, and is hilariously uninformed to boot (who the hell denies that climate change is a problem in this day and age???), it should be a given to understand that no matter your leanings, he is only going to cause problems if elected as president of the USA.

Between her trying to paint Sanders supporters as obnoxious sexists or her slamming Trump's border policies as racist in order to make his policies seem like an attack on her supporters rather than illegal immigrants. Clinton has used the "they hate us because we're [I]x![/I]" tactic on both Sanders and Trump, simply because they oppose her.

If Sanders had won the nomination rather than Clinton, his honesty and/or factual correctness would be a fairly significant factor regarding my vote. Unfortunately, that's not the case, and it'd be simply incorrect to argue that Trump (or Clinton!) are devoid of lies. My only comment regarding this is that at least most of what people point out to be Trump's "lies" can be seen as half-truths, or-- at the very least, occasionally/potentially indeliberate. Clinton has kept lies for long periods of time and rarely admits to, or apologizes for them.

Ah, but the whole point I was making, even viewing my very first post in this thread, is that anyone who claims that Trump doesn't lie is misinformed or an idiot. I hereby rest my case. Thanks for the help, Monkah. I mean that sincerely. Of course Hillary lies. I've been saying time and time again - and check my post history if you don't believe me - that they're both absolutely shitty choices and that I don't envy Americans this election. What I've also said is that Trump's dangerous, unstable, immature, and quite obviously the wrong choice if one was forced to choose between two evils. If you disagree, that's fine, that's an opinion I can respect. In fact, I admit that I was wrong in lumping you in with orgornot, who has completely lost touch with reality. I'm going to edit my offending post now to reflect that, and let the version you quoted stand as proof of my mistake. I will not stand by, however, and let /pol/tards like Orgornot claim that Trump doesn't lie, is not corrupt, or somehow has more integrity than his opponent. Misinformation, and deliberate misinformation to boot, I cannot abide.
