"“I think we’ve had enough of the Clintons, in all fairness,” Trump said. “Don’t you think?”

Yes I do. And we could have gotten rid of them if the Republican Party didn't let YOU become the Presidential candidate, Looking forward to not having to see you on the TV all the time.

Really, Donald?

I don't really understand it, Bill Clinton is not running for president. Does Trump have nothing substantial to say against Hillary Clinton?

No, the people choose him and the GOP wanted him to sign that stupid pledge and promise NOT to leave and become an independent candidate, which now looking back, he should have, but he got totally screwed by the GOP. They're not really all that different from the Dems.

In short because the Clinton Foundation had its fingers in everything the State Department was doing. If they were so concerned about the foundation potentially losing its status as a charity, why continue to engage in clearly illegal activities ??

Young voters haven't lived through Clinton tenure. Those that have, know the failings of the Clinton presidency and the denial pomp.

Yeah, all that low unemployment (3.9% when he left office), growth in GDP (3.8%), stable inflation (2.6%), and increase in median wages (from $661 a week to $700 a week). How lucky the kids of today are that they didn't have to live through that.

"we could have gotten rid of them if the Republican Party didn't let YOU become the Presidential candidate,"

Heh, the Republican Party did their best to stop him, but Trump won anyway. Too much populist support, apparently.

"Clinton’s proposed tax increases on the wealthy."

That'll fix things.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Enter Benghazi

As opposed to the fake Iraq War foisted on the US by the bush crowd of losers? A few dead as opposed to hundreds of thousands? Are conservatives so clueless to not see what is fairly important and then what is really really important. And lets not forget it was Bush that let OBL attack the USA, as Trump has made very clear. 3000 died that day.

You'd think he'd know better than to bring something like this up when the Trump Foundation doesn't exactly bear close scrutiny either. How much did that portrait in the clubhouse cost again, and where was it that the money came from? And I wonder how donors feel about him using their money on legal fees.

Trump has gone too low. Let's see whatever his third wife will bring about in the coming two or three speeches.

You mean his mail-order bride?

I'm waiting for the republican's alternative health plan. Remember when Hilary pushed for a new plan when Bill was in office? Republicans promised their own plan back then. They don't have anything for us. Except deregulation. It's always the same thing. And it's the opposite of anything to do with making insurance companies cover everyone. I'm voting for Eisenhower.

zurcroniumOCT. 28, 2016 - 11:39AM JST As opposed to the fake Iraq War foisted on the US by the bush crowd of losers?

The Iraq War - estimated casualties between 150,000 and over half a million

Launched against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 on the basis of WMD claims by the Bush Administration that turned out to be false.

Destroyed American diplomatic capital with countries around the world.

Caused a power vacuum in the Middle East that directly led to the creation of ISIS.

Cost the US over $2 trillion (potentially over $6 trillion as soldier pensions accrue interest) - Incidentally, TARP cost $247 billion, meaning if we hadn't gone on a War in Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11 and did nothing to stop Al Qaeda and if anything actually increased radical Islamic terrorism in the region and around the world, we could have paid for the Great Recession 10 times over.

Benghazi - estimated casualties - 4

Clinton's handling of the attack may have been in error but hearing after hearing have shown she did nothing that was criminal nor of sufficient grounds to disqualify her from the White House.

Caused no political additional political destabilization, unless you count the ongoing collapse of the Republican Party

The most shameful statement of the state of discourse in the US is that the far right is so out of touch with reality that we can have a conversation where the Iraq War is portrayed as merely equivalently poor judgement to Clinton's handling of Benghazi.

It would seem some Americans wish for a crusade instead of an election. Do that, and you abandon common sense and pragmatism that make a democracy function. The election results may be less important that what happens after that. Why bother holding elections at all, if the result is just to see the government stagnate into insignificance?

Trump is history thank goodness. Hasn't he learned yet that nobody wins by just attacking the husband of an opponent (and especially not Bill Clinton who is still liked by a hell of a lot of people). Trump hasn't been able to come up with any substantial new ideas or policies in the past year of this race. All the 'nasty women', all the American Muslims, the vast majority of Hispanics and African Americans, as well as anyone with a college education are going to vote for Hillary.

Not the Hillarybots, lol.

Yes, they'll have it dismantled completely by November 9 -- after the victory celebration.

Meanwhile, the amount of money Trump has put into his own campaign the past 90 days? >> ZERO

They've just halted nearly ALL fundraising activities to save money. Now, that's what I call a real implosion.

Serrano: "DRAIN THE SWAMP!"

I think it's cute that you cut-n'-paste even your own comments. Quite the originality, Serrano. You were saying the same things in 2010 before those predictions went down the same toilet, which with the rest of the GOP sewage does indeed need to be drained, hosed down, and then shut down for good. Trump's helping, so I guess we can thank him for that much. But we'll be hearing your "god help us" again in a few days, I reckon (same as 2008, and 2012).

Oh, and did you guys realize yet that Bill Clinton's not actually running?

As opposed to the fake Iraq War foisted on the US by the bush crowd of losers?

What about the botched war that Obama is fighting in Iraq by not recognizing who ISIS was? Even when he was advised by his senior advisors, he didn't listen and then there is Hillary and her bungling the Arab Spring and literally got Gaddafi killed, Mubarak jailed and our ambassador and and 3 other Americans in a cover up. So you're ok with that?

A few dead as opposed to hundreds of thousands?

Give me a *** break! Most of the deaths were caused by the sectarian violence Shia on Sunni battles and by the way, what are you libs doing to change the lives and people of Iraq and Syria? You libs are the biggest hypocrites, you guys hate war with a passion, protest it, talk bad about it. There are thousands of Iraqis and Syrians being killed, slaughtered on Obama's watch and you guys are not taking out any pitchforks and torches and calling for the incarceration of Obama? A liberal president goes to war, people die, you guys are silent. A conservative president bungles something as bad as this you calls would call for hearings every damned day!

Are conservatives so clueless to not see what is fairly important and then what is really really important.

The issues and so far, Democrats and liberals are hashing out blank platitudes, so when will liberals talk about the country for a change and talking about important matters that count and leave the distractions.

And lets not forget it was Bush that let OBL attack the USA, as Trump has made very clear. 3000 died that day.

And we also must NOT and NEVER forget, Bill Clinton decided NOT to kill OBL in 1998 when he had the chance on his watch, had he taken action 3000 Americans didn't have to die for nothing.

Too much wrong in that statement to even bother pointing it all out. The sane already know how wrong it was.

Trump is a mere businessman. He has no experience of public office, no track record in public service. Dismissed.

The denying crowd always, always say that. LMAO

For me personally, it'll be fine for me.

Comparing the Trump Foundation to the Clinton Foundation is not possible.

Clinton Foundation accepted money from rich Arabs and rich peoples and 90% of fund distributed to poor peoples. Trump Foundation was used as money laundering and never distribution to any organization but accept donation from others.
