    Corruption and lies have plagued the Clintons for decades, American people can make up their own mind on the state of their country.

    Yes. He should.

    Yes!!

    And yes he should give to charity.

    And yea he should have built his stuff in the USA

    He should have done all that because that's what someone who cares about the American working class and less well off would have done.

    That's EXACTLY what they would have done.

    Thinking Trump suddenly starts giving a **** about the less well off at age 70 is naive.

    Seeing his tax plan that gives disproportionately towards the rich and continuing to believe it is just plain stupid.

    I guess that's also his excuse for building trump tower with immigrant labor that he exploited.

    It honestly baffles me how people buy this narrative from him.

    Because of things like this probably. For every bad thing you can say about Trump (I'm not denying he used illegal workers in the the building of Trump tower) there is tenfold information on the Clintons of much worse doing.

    What's plain stupid is expecting a Business man to use more expensive products when equally good product is available at much lower prices. That's how Business works.

    Exactly.

    Now he's not a business man though.

    Now he's going to cost all his businesses money because his priorities have changed.

    It's such a con.

    What are you having problems understanding? Overheal said he doesn't understand how people buy his narrative, I pointed out people support him because of things like how the Clintons robbed Haiti blind and the Clintons general Corruption. ( FBI figure it's worth investigating )

    If you're still confused and need more information on Haiti, here's a story on Bill Clinton trying to force a bribe.

    The republicans and libertarians are wrong? We need government regulation to ensure that organisations act an ethical manner?

    So much for the free market and personal responsibility.

    The Clinton's stole billions to benefit themselves through their charity and as a result are basically responisble for he deaths of thousands of Haitain lives for only giving them 5% of the charity money to the county, the Clintons are hated by that whole country and government for what they have done and the media refuse to report on it, they are disgusting people. and the the only reply you get from people off here is..

    "????????" You people make me laugh

    If trump done anything half as bad the Clintons done to Haiti I would retract all my support for him, Trump does not hold a candle to the horrible actions the clintons have done over the years

    'The Clinton's stole billions'

    Try and write your posts but leave out all the stuff you yourself actually know is wrong.

    Milo literally takes the words out of my mouth, His information processing speed is incredible. I think that I am realizing for the first time that the left media is composed of poor information processors. Do they take communication studies, earn journalism degrees because they can't reason logically?

    TBH I find his "Well if I was sounded racist then it was a joke" explanation a bit of a charade. He knows well who is audience are and they agree with the content of that "joke".
    Yer man should have nailed him on it.

    On CNN they said a lot of people are turning up to the Clinton rallies for the music events rather than to support Hillary.

    She can't draw the crowds. This is Kaine's rally in Sarasota Florido from earlier, they set up in the lobby! https://sli.mg/rxUKFQ

    The energy at every Trump rally is unbelievable, link below is live. He's in Nevada atm.

    Crowd sizes at rallies won't win the election

    Sanders attracted bigger crowds than trump and still had nearly four million less votes than Clinton at the primaries

    He was live on sky new the other day at a rally, looked like it was in a barn and I would say the place was about 60% empty.

    At 12:30 on a Thursday. It's hardly going to be packed. He had another rally that evening somewhere else and it was packed!

    I don't disagree with you, but it certainly does show a high level of enthusiasm for change. I don't believe Sanders ever had a chance because of internal political reasons.

    Didn't see that, I only watch on RSBN. They're the only ones who zoom the cameras out and show the crowds. He's done some intentionally small events at Airport Hangers from stop to stop so it was probably one of those.

    The secret service were extremely concerned, they couldn't get Trump away fast enough. Told him to run.

    Local law officers reports say a man with a gun - a white man in his 30s/40s.
