None of this stuff justifies Trump's behavior. I'm so tired of people giving him a slap on the wrist. He goes around insulting the physical appearance of women and even judging some of them based on their looks instead of their own abilities and intelligence. Why won't people, including some of his own supporters challenge him on what he says? I guess he is too high and mighty to disagree with or else you get plastered with that political incorrectness tripe.

Trump is a bully, simply put. I'm a former bully victim so one thing I do know is that bullies usually have a circle of people who egg them on and stand by while it happens. They legitimize their behavior.

I'm so over this election, just want all of this stuff to be over with already. I've never been so legitimately pissed off by an election in this country before, but now it has hit a boiling over point for me where someone's idiotic behavior isn't problematic even though they could become President.

My brother and I were talking about the election the other day. Neither of us are satisfied with our options for President, so we are just like I wish I could vote against a candidate without favoring the other. Sigh.

the reason Trump gets away with it is probably because no one dares sue him because he can entangle them up in court proceedings and send them bankrupt and they probably figure its simply not worth losing everything in the process to prove him wrong.

he doesn't deserve to become President, but seriously, its the choice between a total idiot or a compulsive liar this time round.

either way, the US is screwed...
the world will be screwed if Trump gets in, but I doubt much will change on the global scale if Hillary is elected because at least she is respected internationally.

Eh, he has the money to shut people down or hurt them financially. I don't think he is just an idiot, he is far more dangerous than that, IMO. Just calling it like I see it. The cult-like personality around him and the sometimes off the wall defending of him is enough to unsettle me. He can do no wrong to some people, he has made fun of POWs, a disabled person, mocked some women, etc. Dude is off his rocker. I also don't like how any criticism of him is shut down and deflected at Hillary when Trump has put himself into the frying pan. Excuses galore. "But Hillary!" Which justifies what exactly? Hillary is almost always being fired at for something or another, it's Trump who needs to grow a backbone since he can't handle the fire.

Hillary is more well-known and respected elsewhere, she at least knows how to approach other leaders and is capable.

The Australian Govt is worried about him too,
He has apparently said he will tear up the military alliace between the two countries if he gets elected

big story this weekend is Trump's 1995 tax return
leaked by someone on the inside (head will roll)
it showed a near billion dollar loss which would have allowed
him to pay $0 federal tax for X number of years
media is in an uproar about it
not even an issue to me
the man took advantage of the tax code
did nothing illegal
note to congress: fix it

look for WikiLeaks to step back in the election this month
throwing some more dirt on Hillary

I wish he had asked Hillary if she did not owe taxes would she pay anyway.
No one would in their right mind.
If we send more than we owe they will just send it back anyway.
The rich get away with too many loop holes. Taxes need to be fixed. We can all agree on that.

I have not heard about that CH. He might have said it but I don't know why.

Anyway, JMO but I think everyone should look at both sides. Both probably have skeletons in their closet.
I'm not really happy with either but that's the way it works. I'm not happy with Trump and Putin!
