rewcox, when are you going to actually discuss the real issues here.
All I hear from you, is attacking Trump's character. The issue is a lot deeper than just that.
Even based on character Hillary would lose that battle.
So, you want her voted in based solely on her being a woman, now that's sexist.
This is what we should look at. What agendas each candidate supports, and how that is going to affect us as a nation.
I can at least sleep at night with what Trump is supporting, I can't say that for Hillary though.
Here's what I think of the average Hillary voter's state of mind:
Let's see what Trump actually supports?
1- Wants good relations with Russia. Wants to avoid any chance of WWIII
2- Pro-Life
3- Defund Planned Parenthood
4- Ban late abortions; exceptions for rape, incest or health.
5- Get rid of ObamaCare, and replace it with a market based alternative.
6- Protect our Borders.
7- Create more jobs in the US
8- Audit the Federal Reserve
9- Cut defense budget, & entire EPA & Dept. of Education.
10- Against Same Sex Marriage. This should be a State Issue.
11- Deport criminal illegal immigrants. By the way, 1/3 of federal prisoners are illegal immigrants.
12- Extreme vetting of Muslims. If you disagree with this, you better study history.
13- Raise Minimum Wages, but allow states to be competitive by raising wages above the federal minimum wage.
14- Pro 2nd amendment. Come on people. People kill people, not guns.
15- Doesn't support Global Warming. Nor does any self respecting scientist. Global Warming naturally occurs.
16- Decrease the National Debt.
17- Supports fracking.
18- Decrease the unemployment rate. He's got the experience to actually do it.
19- Bring back Manufacturing Jobs.
20- Withdraw or renegotiate with NAFTA and TPP. The purpose being to increase US jobs.
21- Do not cut Social Security or Medicare benefits. Grow the economy to save those programs.
22- Government must cut spending more.
23- Fewer tax brackets with lower tax rates.
24- Happiest people have great families & God in their lives.
25- Stress importance of a strong family, & a culture of Life.
26- I would rather live a married life than be single.
27- US cannot afford to be world's police
28- Reject the elite election system; infuse popular will.
29- Get rid of waste, fraud, & abuse in every single agency.
30- SuperPACs are a disaster and cause dishonesty.
31- Mass shootings are due to a huge mental health problem.
32- Make concealed-carry permits valid across all states.
33- Gun ownership makes US safer, not more dangerous.
34- We must stop illegal immigration; it hurts us economically.
35-I have relevant experience by creating jobs and assets.
36- Rebuilding America will create 13 million jobs.
37- Take jobs back from foreign countries to lower unemployment.
38- Real unemployment rate is 20%; don't believe 5.6%.
39- I give people what they need and don't get: The Truth.
40- I love God, and I love having a relationship with Him.
41- Gun violence is inevitable; regulations won't help. (Banning guns just puts guns in criminals hands, and makes law abiding citizens defenseless).
42- Let people invest their own retirement funds.
43- Cut taxes by $10T but don't increase deficit.
44- "An amendment, pushed by Lyndon Johnson, many years ago, threatens religious institutions with a loss of their tax-exempt status if they openly advocate their political views. Their voice has been taken away. I will work hard to repeal that language and to protect free speech for all Americans."
45- "Lower the corporate tax rate to 15% to unleash American ingenuity here at home and make us more globally competitive. This tax cut puts our rate 10 percentage points below China and 20 points below our current burdensome rate that pushes companies and jobs offshore."
46- "[F]or us to be subsidizing oil companies is absolutely insane... I can't imagine anybody's gonna stick up for Exxon Mobil or some of these big oil companies that are making a fortune and paying relatively little in tax."
47- Donald Trump: Well, in some ways, I like the gold standard. In some ways, I like the gold standard. There's something very nice about the gold standard. And you have to go back at right time when gold does the old crash-o. But, you know, there's something very nice about having something solid. We used to have a very very solid country because it was based on a gold standard. We don't have that anymore. There is something very nice about the concept of that. It would be very very hard to do at this point. And one of the problems is we don't have the gold. Other places have the gold."
48- "Charter schools, in particular, have demonstrated amazing gains and results in providing education to disadvantaged children and the success of these schools will be a top priority for my Administration.
They also produce competition that causes better outcomes for everyone."
49- "I'm a tremendous believer in education. But education has to be at a local level. We cannot have the beuraucrats in Washington telling you how to manage your child's education.
So Common Core's a total disaster. We can't let it continue. We are rated 28 in the world--the United States!--think of it!--28 in the world--and, frankly, we spend far more per pupil than any other country in the world by far, it's not even a close second. So here we are, we spend more money, and we're rated 28--third world countries are ahead of us. We're gonna end Common Core, we're gonna have education an absolute priority."
50- "But they [Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders] want to absolutely knock out fracking. And you do that, you're going to be back into the Middle East and we're going to be begging for oil again. It's not going to happen. Not with me.
51- "I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect."
52- "[Interviewer:] Women in the military… Now the Pentagon has opened up all combat to women. What do you think?
[Donald Trump:] We're going to open it up. We're going to be energy independent. We're going to have all sorts of energy. We're going to have everything you can think of, including solar."
53- Well, it's a very tricky subject. You're in there and you're fighting and you're sitting next to a woman and. Now they want to be politically correct. They want to do it but there are major problems. And, as you know, there are many people that think this shouldn't be done, at a high level, at a level of general. I think that it's a very tricky situation but on Fox today they had a woman who is a pilot, top level, very good, really indicating that this is really something that is not going to work out. Will it work out? I hope so. I can say this, the numbers of rapes in the military are through the roof. Through the roof."
54- "[Chris Wallace] You say now that the Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is the law of the land and that any politician who talks about wanting to amend the Constitution is just playing politics. Are you saying it's time to move on?
TRUMP: No, I'm saying this. It has been ruled up. It has been there. If I'm a, you know, if I'm elected, I would be very strong on putting certain judges on the bench that I think maybe could change things...
They have ruled on it. I wish that it was done by the state. I don't like the way they ruled. I disagree with the Supreme Court from the standpoint they should have given the state -- it should be a states' rights issue. And that's the way it should have been ruled on, Chris, not the way they did it.
This is a very surprising ruling. And I - I can see changes coming down the line, frankly. But I would have much preferred that they ruled at a state level and allowed the states to make those rulings themselves.
WALLACE: But - but just to button this up very quickly, sir, are you saying that if you become president, you might try to appoint justices to overrule the decision on same-sex marriage?
TRUMP: I would strongly consider that, yes."
55- "Religious liberty is so important."
56- Stacking the Supreme Court with Liberals.
Let's see what Hillary actually supports?
1- Hillary Clinton said an unborn child just hours before delivery should have no Constitutional rights. Her comments came just days after Clinton said unborn children simply do not have any Constitutional rights, which would include the right to life.
2- Clinton has said more taxpayer money needs to go to the Planned Parenthood abortion business and Clinton demonstrated her unyielding commitment to abortion and the Planned Parenthood abortion business, accepting their endorsement during a pro-abortion rally — saying she would be the abortion business’ president.
3- The first order of business for Clinton and her friends at the abortion company is to force Americans to pay for abortions with their tax dollars by attempting to overturn the Hyde Amendment
4- "Hillary said she wants one hemispheric government – no more USA. How do you feel about that or are you more upset by guys talking sex?"- Bill Mitchell
5- Hilary Clinton just said that Christians must deny their Faith through the enforcement of laws, by stating that the Christian belief in being pro-life, and anti-abortion, must change, and that this should be done through laws and “political will.”
6- Many religious conservatives were outraged by Clinton’s remarks. They were offended that Clinton had referred to “E Pluribus Unum” as our national motto, instead of “In God We Trust.”
7- Hillary Clinton: “You’ve seen the reports. Russia’s hacked into a lot of things, China’s hacked into a lot of things. Russia even hacked into the Democratic National Committee. Maybe even some state election systems? So we gotta step up our game. Make sure we are well defended and make sure we are able to take the fight to those who go after us. As president I will make it clear that the United States will treat cyber attacks just like any other attack. We will be ready with serious political, economic and military responses.“ In other words, she will attack China and Russia, isn't that great?
8- Pro-Choice. In other words, she supports the mass murdering of babies. How can anyone stand behind this policy.
9- Clinton has compared Pro-life Christians to Terrorists.
10- Fought for years to get “Plan B” contraceptive on the market.
11- Prevention First Act: federal funds for contraception.
12- Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
13- Supports same sex marriage. "I support gay marriage personally and as law."
14- GLBT progress since 2000, when I marched in gay pride parade.
15- "Gay soldiers need to shoot straight, not be straight." Yet rape in the military has increased exponentially.
16- End hate crimes and other intolerance.
17- Does not support auditing the Federal Reserve.
18- Reverse gun manufacturer immunity; let them get sued.
19- Rein in idea that anybody can have a gun anywhere, anytime.
20- I support Brady Bill and closing the Charleston loophole.
21- Get assault weapons & guns off the street. (Which means any gun that is a semi-automatic. This defines most guns that people own now.).
22- Assisted suicide acceptable with appropriate safeguards.
23- "Preventing Muslims from immigrating is un-American. "
24- "Changed name from Rodham because many were offended." No, because she was advised she would never get to the White House otherwise. What does that say about her character?
25- "Words matter, but actions speak louder than words." Wow, that says it all. Accuse Trump of Sexist comments (Words), yet the Clinton's "actions" are absolutely deplorable. Including rape, affairs, threats Hillary made to victims, deathlist, hired hitman, and the list goes on and on.
26-"Birtherism is a racist lie against our first black president." Yet, even the experts claim that Obama's Birth Certificate is fake, and took over 8 years to produce.
27- "I released 55,000 pages of email and none were classified. " Let's do the math on this one, assuming she spent 30 seconds per email to read and respond. 55,000 pages * 250 words (average per page) = 13,750,000 words. Assuming she types 35 wpm = 392,857 minutes or 6547+ hours that's the equivalent of about 164 weeks responding 40 hours per week. A little over 3 years of doing nothing but responding to personal emails. So either she is completely incompetent at her job, or she lying through her teeth.
28- Expand Obamacare but do not attempt to create a universal health care system now.
29- Supports Open Borders
30- Wants to increase Muslim Immigrants by 500%+
31- Leave illegal immigrants alone (including criminals), and import even more.
32- Supports NAFTA and TPP
33- Wants to restrict 2nd Amendment Rights, Through Gun Control laws.
34- Wants to limit 1st Amendment rights, through "Hate Speech". Which, by the way, would include religions.
35- "And she’s already promised to out-do Obama on executive actions. On immigration, Clinton said she’d “go as far as I can, even beyond President Obama.”It won’t stop with immigration. Clinton & Co. want executive action on gun control, labor-union power, “environmental protection” and pretty much their whole wish list. (

36- Although she claims to want to decrease unemployment, her choices would actually increase it.
37- Clinton will work on increasing the Federal deficit, and her agenda prove it.
38- Stacking the Supreme Court with Liberals.
39- More Feminism
40- Hillary Clinton wants to, in effect, pass a constitutional amendment that would amend the First Amendment and restrict free speech.
41- "No. We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices ... Government has to make those choices for people." – Hillary Clinton
42- "We came out of the White House not only dead-broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education. It was not easy." – Hillary Clinton (yet somehow, since then the Clinton's have amassed around $250 million dollars without selling a product of any kind). Ask yourself, a simple question: Where did all that money come from? What favors were promised for that money?
43- “With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?” -- Hillary Clinton (Benghazi Incident)
44- "I have to admit that a good deal of what my husband and I have learned (about Islam) has come from my daughter. (As) some of you who are our friends know, she took a course last year in Islamic history." – Hillary Clinton (If that doesn't concern you, I don't know what does).
45- Supports Obama's executive action.
46- Received Millions in campaign funds. She has ulterior motives, has bartered backroom deals.
Now that we have some actual facts of what each candidate stands for, we have a more accurate base for comparison.
What we can reasonably expect from Trump:
1- Uphold The US Constitution. That includes our 1st and 2nd Amendments.
2- Reverse Roe vs. Wade, and Same Sex Marriage.
3- Increase Jobs, Decrease Unemployment.
4- Work with Russia, and other countries to maintain peace.
5- Stabilize our economy. Strengthen the value of the US dollar
6- Avoid bringing terrorist into the USA. Wants to find a better way to vet these refugees.
7- Lower the Federal deficit, and cut fat from government programs
8- Cancel Obama's Executive Orders.
9- Protect religious rights.
10- Agenda shows that he is supporting the core family values.
11- Con. Locker room talk that was offensive. Bear in mind, these are "words", not "actions".
What we can reasonably expect from Hillary:
1- Attack the Constitution, starting with the 1st and 2nd amendments
2- Pro-Choice, and would use tax payers money to pay for the mass murdering of babies.
3- Supports Same Sex Marriage, and would start pushing for every other sexual deviation out there.
4- Decrease Jobs, and Increase Unemployment.
5- Has already threateed to go to War with Russia and China. Her actions show that she is a Warmonger. Through her decisions, she helped create ISIS, responsible for killing 100,000's of people, the Benghazi incident, amongst other incidents.
6- Destabilize our economy. Potential to create hyperinflation.
7- Wants to bring in over 1 million refugees in her 1st year. So, she will bring terrorists into the US.
8- In all likelihood, will increase the Federal Deficit. Based on her predecessor, she will outspend him.
9- Retain Obama's Executive Orders, and add more of her own.
10- Will use her power to attack christianity.
11- Based on her character, she hates men. Will empower feminism which will just further segregate men and women.
12- Her agenda continues to segregate people based on race, religion, and sex.
13- Her agenda directly attacks the core family unit.
14- Based on her lying about the email scandal, how can anyone trust her.
15- She is racist, and sexist.
16- Has a kill list of 50+ people with mysterious deaths.
17- Implies that Pro-Lifers are Terrorists.
18- Attacks Christianity and belittles them, just like her predecessor Obama.
19- She is a Career Criminal and belongs in Jail.
20- Laughed at a rape victim, and claimed she liked to be raped. Knowing that her client was guilty. The poor girl was 12.
If that's not enough, a few more observations:
1- Hillary is part of the ruling elite (call that illuminati, bilderberg group, shadow government, globalists, whatever you like).
Trump is not, it's very apparent who the ruling elite wants in office and that's Hillary. Trump is a threat to them, and they know it.
2- Trump has publicly stated that he is being humbled, and is showing that through his actions. God can use him, just look at how God used Cyrus.
In the end, everyone is entitled to their opinion. It would be nice if that opinion was based on an educated look at what you are choosing though, based on reality.
The choice of who becomes resident has far reaching consequences tht go well beyond a "popularity contest". The people that are switching their vote based solely on Trump's locker room talk is beyond stupid.
Voting for a 3rd party or not voting at all, is just adding to the problem. Trump or Hillary will be the next President.
So, to me it's a clear cut decision who to vote for.
