Which candidate do American's despise more?

Its a dead heat!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...llary-clinton/

But if you look just at registered voters, the new poll actually shows Clinton's image is about as bad as Trump's, with 38 percent having a favorable impression and 59 percent unfavorable, compared to a 37/60 split for Trump.

I hope my polling place gives out clothes pins, so I can put one over my nose.

I can see where the Republicans are proud of Clinton's low approval ratings. It is the result of years and years of effort. When it comes to his disapproval ratings, however, Trump is a self made man.

It must be true I saw it on TV and they wouldn't lie to me. Would they?

Within the typical margin of error, nothing has changed. So why is this so significant now?
With a Hillary presidency, a clothespin will suffice. With a Trump presidency, mass migration to Canada and Mexico?

This is exactly what I have been thinking.

I had a man recently yell at me that "They've had about a dozen hearings against that murdering bitch!".

But, have "they" actually proven anything?

Where are the convictions?

And, when I consider who "they" is. It's the Republican Party. Gee, I wonder what their motivation could possibly be?

I don't care how many kangaroo court "hearings" you hold, until you actually prove something you have nothing. The number of hearings held doesn't establish guilt, it only proves the determination of a politically motivated organization.

I'm still not voting for the Ochre Hobgoblin.

Mostly true, but Hillary has certainly provided them some ammo, particularly on the email and Clinton Foundation fronts. That said, at least she's qualified to be President, unlike der Trumpenfuhrer.

Well stated.

My thing about Hillary has nothing to do with the 25 year Republican smear campaign against her. It's her politics. She is no progressive. She'll appoint corporatists to the bench, continue her dubious record of "accomplishments" in foreign policy and step up our military involvement in the Middle East and provocative behavior in Eastern Europe. It's important to remember that the Neo Conservative movement wasn't established by right wingers. On the contrary, its founders were all Democrats. Hillary and Bill fit the mold perfectly.

so what else is new? I for one am used to voting for the candidate I despise less, which in this case is Hillary. having said that the GOP has been chomping at the bit for decades to ruin the Clinton's but they are smart enough to avoid being convicted. just accused.
