Clinton, Trump warn of dire consequences if rival wins

They are both right.

-3 ( +6 / -9 )

What a pathetic election. I don't hear them say why they'd be good, but why the other one would be bad. Still, I can not accept Trump not trusting us with his tax returns but asking us to trust him to lead this country. That's not how it works in my book.

9 ( +15 / -6 )

Then imagine him plunging us into a war because somebody got under his very thin skin.

Oh hi there pot, meet kettle!!

-15 ( +4 / -19 )

hillary isnt even in office and its a twisted train wreck.

-16 ( +3 / -19 )

@Fred,

Clinton is the war candidate not Trump. I`d be worried about her.

-11 ( +5 / -16 )

Notice how right wingers are all doom and gloom? While Dems and liberals are all pretty psyched.

I do.

Its called "enthusiasm gap." And it happens when one side nominates a candidate they like and respect, and the other nominates a Angry Yam.

13 ( +17 / -4 )

"like and respect". hillary???

-11 ( +4 / -15 )

Trump has improved enormously as a candidate even from a few months ago. The jury us out on how effective he would be in office. But no doubt Clinton is a known quantity and she had stated her plans. She would be a bigger disaster than you can imagine.

-11 ( +4 / -15 )

On Nov 8th, Americans vote for the lesser of two evils.

Unbelievable!

5 ( +10 / -5 )

Notice how right wingers are all doom and gloom?

Most rightists lament living in America, which they claim is a dystopia (have you read any rightists say they like life in their country?) and are awaiting the rapture their Messiah Don will bring. Amongst them are nihilists and gun-toting-angry white men who await the rupture their Don will bring. The latter know he has no plans to replace the current system and are banking on a Cormac McCarthy The Road type ending.

A tectonic shift is taking place. White blue-collar voters, who were once the mainstay of the dems are leaving because the party has abandoned them - - Audible doubts about dems are appearing among blacks. A split is visible between the Bernie wing and the dem establishment that is based on far more than personalities. The anti-establishment revolt in the GOP was successful, the dem revolt, was not. The dem voters may not be the compliant herd that Hillary is expecting.

-7 ( +3 / -10 )

I and everyone I know and love will forever AVOID THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and never again support them. Trump is helping them destroy themselves and that's a favor to the country!!!

10 ( +15 / -5 )

@CrazyJoe,

Theyve been ineffective and its time for a change. Perhaps the Rep Party is going through a rebirth.

-4 ( +3 / -7 )

I don't understand why so many people still support Donald Trump. He shouldn't have been running for any kind of public office in the first place. I'm now really, really scared at the increasing possibilty of Donald Trump winning the election. I'd be very ashamed of my country if someone like Trump would ever lead my country. Come on, wake up, American people!

11 ( +14 / -3 )

I'm still waiting for the one time in history that someone wins from the write in ballot. Cough cough *bernie

3 ( +5 / -2 )

I think trump used his judgement to try to get the most effective result with someone he knew was going down the road of porn slutdom and cartel floozie if she didnt pull out of the fat and carb fueled downward path she was on. PC niceties werent gonna cut it with this signorita.

-14 ( +1 / -15 )

Hillary called me deplorable. I did mind.

-11 ( +2 / -13 )

PC niceties aren't going to cut it with ignoramus Trump fanboys.

That's what I'm trying to confirm, whether not being racist/bigoted is only something done to be politically correct, rather than because it's not correct. I always thought it was the latter, but it appears they may think it's the former.

I think it's something that should be clarified before people vote for their leader.

5 ( +6 / -1 )

Well you keep dodging the questions without answering them. I'll list them all here again for you:

1) Please explain the logic behind justifying bigoted statements against someone if you aren't happy with their job performance.

2) you are saying bigoted statements against people are ok as long as it's to help them?

I think trump used his judgement to try to get the most effective result with someone he knew was going down the road of porn slutdom and cartel floozie if she didnt pull out of the fat and carb fueled downward path she was on.

3) So this makes bigoted statements ok?

4) So bigoted statements are actually ok, they just aren't correct politically? Is that what you're saying? That they are fine as long as you aren't in a situation where you need to be nice with someone?

6) And again, I'm asking, are you saying bigoted statements are ok as long as it's tough love, and that they are ok as long as you are in a situation where you don't need to be nice with someone?

Are you going to keep dodging them?

dire consequences for the corrupt establishment if Trump wins

dire consequences for the people if Hillary wins

-8 ( +4 / -12 )

so basically, the US is screwed either way....

1 ( +6 / -5 )

Honestly, I strongly believe that Hillary Clinton deserves a glorious victory, despite all scandals. Trump doesn't have the decency of a President of a super power as the USA. His empty promises and cheating behavior throughout his six business bankruptcies to avoid taxes clearly unmask him. There will be no place in the US history for Crooked Trump and his cronies.

11 ( +13 / -2 )

"hillary deserves a glorious victory despite all scandals.". I guess hillary supporters have the same mentality as her.

-9 ( +1 / -10 )

I think trump used his judgement to try to get the most effective result with someone he knew was going down the road of porn slutdom and cartel floozie if she didnt pull out of the fat and carb fueled downward path she was on. PC niceties werent gonna cut it with this signorita.

Does anyone have any idea what this is trying to say?

8 ( +9 / -1 )

Most rightists lament living in America, which they claim is a dystopia (have you read any rightists say they like life in their country?) and are awaiting the rapture their Messiah Don will bring.

No, but the situation is very bad. What the majority of people in the country are wanting and waiting for is change a big change a d a president that will put the people first and not Wall Street or line their personal pockets with more money, use their political power of the office to bribe,swindle and commit crimes for the sake of personal gain and influence.

Amongst them are nihilists and gun-toting-angry white men who await the rupture their Don will bring.

Actually, it's not just white men, but I know that's the narrative liberals are trying to sell to the public.

The latter know he has no plans to replace the current system and are banking on a Cormac McCarthy The Road type ending.

Oh, and Hillary does? I wouldn't trust that woman with my kids wallet!

-14 ( +1 / -15 )

Perhaps the Rep Party is going through a rebirth. with Trump as their new messiah !!?? OMFG!

How could any American patriot support Trump? His deformed tiny baby hands aren't even strong enough to push the launch button on America's nukes, so he wouldn't be able to defend the country if he tried

“I would rather be here talking about nearly anything else,” Clinton said Tuesday during a rally in Florida where she leveled a series of attacks on Trump’s character and preparedness for the White House.

A new poll of early voting in Florida shows nearly 30% of registered Republicans crossing over to vote for Hillary.

This is phenomenal! (and "interesting")

Hi Yabits - do you have some link to that poll? If this is the case then yes, it is very interesting!

TRUMP +1 in new polls! Seems like the DNC, media and friends are out of ammo! Everyone around Clinton ends up in jail, dead or pleading the 5th (Think of Lynch in the back of an airplane with Slick Willy during FBI investigation). Clinton- excellent judge of character! Alicia Machado- Has child with incarcirated Mexican drug boss, get away driver for murdering X boyfriend (Juan Rodriguez Reggeti), hardcore porno videos

"Donald Trump could draw the United States into nuclear war, Hillary Clinton warns."

Pffft! It's more likely there will be nuclear war if Clinton wins. However it is likely that ISIS will be defeated if Trump wins.

"A new poll of early voting in Florida shows nearly 30% of registered Republicans crossing over to vote for Hillary."

Pffft! Even RCP average has Trump ahead.

Oh my...

in fact, polling has trump ahead of hillary.

-7 ( +2 / -9 )

I'm expecting Clinton to win mostly because I just can't imagine President Trump. I don't think even he knows what he's going to do.

Once or twice the US President will have to stand on stage and give a speech about something incredibly important, and most of the world will pause. You have to be smart. You have to project both strength and kindness at the same time. Part of the credibility of the country comes from those moments.

Putting Donald Trump in front of the world is just....unthinkable.

8 ( +9 / -1 )

Just read on the Beeb that the Feds released 129 pages of a 2001 investigation into Bill Clinton.

Police agencies serve democracy. Not the other way around.

Why is the FBI (once again) interfering in this election? Why do they fear Hillary?

Hahaha, CNN and CNN's CEO Zucker have been 'Clintoned':

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/01/cnn-chief-jeff-zucker-slams-donna-braziles-disgusting-secret-collusion-with-clinton-campaign/

Damage Control: CNN Chief Jeff Zucker Slams Donna Brazile, Clinton Campaign’s Debate Cheat

... According to someone familiar with the meeting, Zucker told CNN editors that Brazile’s collusion with the Clinton camp “hurts all of us.” he went on to add, “I have no tolerance for her behavior or that kind of behavior,” Huffington Post reported. ...

-6 ( +2 / -8 )

Trump for POTUS!!!

It's gonna happen!

-11 ( +2 / -13 )

has hillary even apologized for cheating in the debates???????

-12 ( +2 / -14 )

How did the democratic party manage to put forward the only candidate in America even capable of losing an election to a man like Donald Trump? They're both war mongers, and neither of them even remotely fit for the presidency.

1 ( +5 / -4 )

this is a bought and paid for campaign ad for the clintons.

-7 ( +1 / -8 )

@Outrider - To my knowledge there was no apology. I think the right thing to do would have been to decline the questions and report this to CNN, but that would never happen as Brazile was a Democratic insider.

Furthermore, I wonder how Bernie Sanders feels about this revelation. I am not sure why you are down voted for asking a simple question. I think it is a good question.

@Hampton - As an American I find it amazing this is the best we could come up with. Trump is definitely not fit to hold the office and Clinton has way too much baggage and more seems to come out.

It is possible (maybe not likely) that Trump could win. Wow!

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

Well, that would depend on which poll you want to believe in.

I'm expecting Clinton to win mostly because I just can't imagine President Trump. I don't think even he knows what he's going to do.

What about Hillary? They found a Wikileaks where Mills and Pedesta were talking about how to delete the mails. Uh-Oh!!! That don't sound so good! Now If I were Hillary, I'm sure if she had to do this all over again, she would have taken the call for her to be more transparent a bit more seriously.

Once or twice the US President will have to stand on stage and give a speech about something incredibly important, and most of the world will pause. You have to be smart.

Trump made millions in business and Hillary made money through lying and deception.....I think the business model is smarter, although doing what she did, you have to be a sneaky and clever person to be that deceptive.

You have to project both strength and kindness at the same time. Part of the credibility of the country comes from those moments.

Then going by that, we cannot under any circumstances vote for Hillary!

Putting Donald Trump in front of the world is just....unthinkable.

There are many that think the opposite, especially when you factor in Bill coming back to the WH.

Comey, the head of the FBI, was a registered Republican for most of his adult life. (Before he was appointed to lead the FBI, however, he claimed no party affiliation.) He was originally appointed US Attorney by Bush 43.

He was a vice president at Lockheed. Lockheed is one of the world's largest suppliers of military goods. Trump wants to EXPAND the US military.

I really, really, really don't think the campaign told Brazile 'that's not who we are', in response to her helpfulness.

I think the right thing to do would have been to decline the questions and report this to CNN, but that would never happen as Brazile was a Democratic insider.

It was a debate in Flint, Michigan. If you know anything about Flint, Michigan, you know about the water crisis. Brazile's heads-up was about as useful as a suggestion that the next geology exam will contain questions regarding dirt.

Still, watching the GOP manufacturing scandals is entertaining, particularly as they ignore the elephants in their own backyard. Of particular interest is whether the IRS will decide to claw back the $980 million tax exemption Trump took years ago. Apparently, his tax lawyers strongly recommended against it (hint: do not go against your tax lawyers' advice). This is likely why his tax audit is taking so long. Mah, if he becomes president, he can make this all away, plus that pesky inheritance tax thing. Good days coming!

Tokyo-engr, I guess you don't pay much attention to the news. Check out the NYT article - in lawyer-speak, they strongly cautioned him against his move, but he did it anyway. I have no idea about whether clawbacks are allowable at this point, but certainly, it is something Trump should be concerned about.

When Trump accuses an opponent of something, he has a history of being preemptive. His saying Hillary runs a danger of being a sitting president with serious legal problems means that he, himself - Trump - does.

I'd readily accept a successful, Republican, conservative businessman over Hillary Clinton, but Trump? He can't even win an election without Julian Assange and James Comey stealing it for him.

Strangerland: And one for raping a child.

Exposé of this trope as a plot by a former Jerry Springer producer was long ago reported by Beloved-of-the-Left news site The Guardian, linked below.

Snopes' page on this topic is actually newer than the Guardian page, which drew from multiple sites. Apparently Snopes' is OK with leaving one-sided stories up as long as they like the side that benefits from them. Certainly they had access to the Guardian page, and to Google hits that would have come up when they were researching their October update. But no mention of that in the Snopes page.

Outrider, she out duelled a handful of GOP committees at millions of dollars in losses, FBI investigations, and hundreds of thousands of emails. She can handle you fast enough old man.

if you can focus on a single topic for a second, the issue is can Trump read? No wonder he speaks at a grade 5 level. If Trump gets a report for President Eyes Only and can't read it that's a National Security problem right there.

Obama taught Constitutional Law, Clinton studied Law quite extensively in post graduate studies. This is how you get international trade and peace deals negotiated and signed. They can cut through the cruft

Trump has nothing, and now, has even less than nothing

So what are you implying? Oh, so you think he's a big Trump fan now?

He was a vice president at Lockheed. Lockheed is one of the world's largest suppliers of military goods. Trump wants to EXPAND the US military.

As he should, I do hope and pray for that! Go Trump!

And one for raping a child.

Which will be thrown out of court.

How much did he lose compared to how much he made?

Dunno, I have No idea as to how he has, spent or sitting in.

And how much did people who got caught up in his scams lose?

Hillary is being investigated by the Feds, again and you come up with that mess? LMAO

I'd readily accept a successful, Republican, conservative businessman over Hillary Clinton, but Trump? He can't even win an election without Julian Assange and James Comey stealing it for him.

And Hillary can't win without cheating, bringing in illegals, bringing out the dead or rigging the votes. She sure as heck can't run on any policies except for Obama and that's already slowly killing her and the woman can't even get 1/3 of supporters compared to what Trump is getting. So if the Dems want to play dirty, I personally think Trump should take the gloves off and be equally as dirty. Dems started and now they are getting a taste of their own medicine slammed right back at them.

Outrider.

Argument? Sure. Based on what? Hundreds of thousands of emails? Are you nuts?

You don't mean badly, you mean criminally. So, Nope. I've done probably 500,000 emails myself as an IT support rep. Cherry pick a few emails out of that and call it badly is incredibly stupid. But what would a GOPer know of anything in actual reality or requiring actual skills?

Committee after committee went after her again and again all for nothing all to discredit her run for President. Badly? Hardly. If anything she has shown just how badly desperate the GOP has become, and the millions wasted to challenge her

When she's president I bet she'll have a big laugh. And I'll have a big laugh too.

"And Hillary can't win without cheating, bringing in illegals, bringing out the dead or rigging the votes. She sure as heck can't run on any policies except for Obama and that's already slowly killing her and the woman can't even get 1/3 of supporters compared to what Trump is getting"

Outrider, Ok not criminally. Yes, badly in the sense of her perspective on it I think she has apologized for during the debates? However she should have gone the extra explanation, but probably didn't want to look weak because she's just pumping and dumping thousands of emails she gets like most of us

Reminds me of when I sent an email to my managers to make suggestions on a technical problem with Cisco equipment, and I got a reply from three higher ups in the office. It wasn't until later that I realized my first name is the same as the chief manager that I could see their mistake. Badly, sure. Harmless? Yes. Could have been worse? Sure thing. It can't be helped.

The GOP has to show that it did actual harm to have a 1% "badly" rate or whatnot from the department. Committee after committee couldn't find it. She would be CC'd on a lot of things not necessarily hers that was sent as well. Filtering all that out would be nuts for someone like me who can read all that (headers, IPs etc). We can delve into the "Did the cheese sandwich on rye get delivered to Accounting or not? Speak up woman!" FBI investigation too. but that's not what any of this is about. This is called a canard.

USA is being played a week before the election. The real play here is that email is technical so those who don't know what mass work email entails in a job are really just bludgeoned over equating Clinton + Email = Bad. This is now called a dog whistle, a term I had not heard of before this year, but it fits. It's funny, and sad to see how easily played the USA public has become.

Media has indeed been Clinton focused only because the Trump comments have been beyond responsible, but notice that the dog whistle was instantly reported and not corroborated. Now it turns out she didn't send or receive her former aid Weiner mail, so it's just a show of how to dog whistle the media and a country before an election.

Who in the world benefits from a crippled USA? Russia has been well documented in this election with their interference and that should have been the barometer here through which new stories should have been filtered. Turns out the media are pretty dumb

It's the USA public that suffers as a result. Easily swayed without secondary analysis makes for a poor public discourse

I, for one, DO NOT want to live in a "Trumptopia" where a leader is for himself, and himself only. I want to live in a country where my leader wakes up every morning and thinks of what SHE can do for ALL Americans. Not where the chosen few think that we keep ourselves "in the money" and it will all trickle down. I want my leader to start with the folks in the middle, and let THE WHOLE COUNTRY grow from the middle out, and the bottom up. Despite all the rhetoric and innuendo, there is ONLY ONE person who comes with the experience to do this. SHE is Hillary Rodham Clinton. I have heard many say they just don't like her. Well, you don't have to "like" her. She's probably not coming over for dinner ! BUT, if you love the USA, cast your vote for her. Pulling the lever for someone DOES NOT mean you approve of all their faults or misdeeds. It just means that you realize that the person is THE BEST for the job. It's HER time, guys. We're stronger together. Remember, 1/20/17 - "Madame President" !

Outrider, which comes then to Trump and the notion that he may be a functional illiterate. To go through the valley of all his lowest of the low comments to find out he has really zero qualifications to be there is just the end. He can only work with the people around him. He can't ascertain information himself. That's not a leader

he had grate expectations after all ho ho!

Totally agree. Hillary will do fine. She will have learned a lot about how unhappy people are and can use that to her advantage during her presidency. The Bernie factor will also have influenced her. She's smart enough to get a lot of good stuff done. No doubt she'll be very careful with her emails too. Trump on the other hand is beyond redemption!

Maybe you can convict someone without due process where you come from, but in th US we have the presumption of innocence, we are entitled to a fair hearing and in order to bring a lawsuit you have to have concrete evidence and if you don't, then you have no case. Other than that, everything is just pure speculation. If the FBI had something on Trump about that, he'd be already in deep ****, but he's not.

Really, then you don't want Hillary at all, that woman thinks ONLY about herself. Don't believe me, ask the people of Haiti. In 35 years and judging by the Wikileaks, she didn't give a fig about anyone in America! And now her chickens have come home to roost!

W: "Would you care to order it?" C: "I think not. I'm afraid that could give me... pardon my French, the shits." W: "Madame is mistaken. That is not French at all! May I suggest something more appropriate... "constitutional crisis" perhaps?" C: "Merci, Antoine. That's a winner!" W: "If it please Madame, I suggest the "Guerre jusqu'a l'eternite a la mode Hillary". Once you have tasted it you cannot get enough. Naturally, Madame, (whispered) there is a possibility - oh so slight - trust Antoine! - of a "constitutional crisis". But, please, Madame, you will still enjoy it today. Tomorrow? Who knows?

Many of us get so caught up in criticizing her toxic character, serial lying and the corruption that accompanies her that we forget to address her incompetence and lack of accomplishment. It is as stunning as her lack of character or integrity. Her tenure at State provides a preview of what she would do in the White House: turn a reputable institution into her own ATM machine, seed the staff with her toxic cronies, blur ethical lines, make consistently terrible policy decisions and prioritize her own needs over national security.

Her earlier resume is filled with other failures - no accomplishments as a Senator, couldn't get a job until Bill was elected AG, mediocre performance at the Rose Law Firm, and fired from the Watergate commission for lying.

Her resume is consistent - corruption, lies and failures with no offsetting success. Hold nose -Vote Trump.

Look for Hillary's attacks on Trump to get much uglier. She knows that if she doesn't win then it's certain jail time for her. She's fighting for survival like a wounded animal.

Polls are different from elections. But then sound techies have never been known for their reading nor their writing skills, even though they may have claimed they have 12 (sometimes 15, other times 20, 30 and even 35) years experience working in some form of media. And it's clear when they pull numbers out of the air, e.g. 67 million, that they're flummoxed by basic arithmetic. But I've heard said they give good sound.

Hillary Clinton trails Donald Trump for the first time this campaign in who’s seen as more honest and trustworthy, a sign of further possible fallout from renewed FBI scrutiny of Clinton-related emails. A steady six in 10 likely voters disapprove of how she’s responded to the issue.

Despite what he says and did, he seems more down to earth and sincere. Just needs to fix a few tweaks.

Her on the other hand, I feel that whole administration just wants to legalise drugs, blur gender lines, and among other things, just creep the hell out of people with her vice president. I don't care if you have over half of Hollywood on your side, can't influence me. Hollywood is screwed up anyways with of the junkies. Please drain the swamp already.
