He wasn't middle of the road. He talked hard right.

Even Trump who last I knew was both pro-choice and pro-single payer healthcare seems to have embraced the right to get through the primary, but he'll likely return to him more moderate roots as a East Coast liberal now that the primary is over.

His primary has been over for months and months. That guy is not coming back.

Who knows what he'll do. Once he's elected, he will do whatever he wants.

The American political system is not set up to allow any one actor to do "whatever he wants."

And who do you think will stop him? The Republican "leaders" who have done such a good job so far standing up to him (during their endorsement speeches)? Or the desperate electorate who is somehow willing to turn their backs on everything we grew up loving about this country and what makes it great just so they can feel like "winners" again?

Not to mention, while I think this comparison is overused and usually not appropriate, everyone thought that the other members of the government would keep a lid on Hitler's worst instincts too. It is, in fact, a very slippery slope.

But Trump is not just a liar, but also a racist, a bully, and stupid all at the same time. That's a deadly combo. At least HRC is not racist or stupid. Cunning? Yes. Stupid, no.

Please you can use the same words to describe HRC. Ask Obama if Hllary went after him on race? What about the server issue- stupid yes. Her constant use of the gender card- Bernie bros to describe the opposition. Using the DNC to attack her opponents. She is the same as Trump. You just refuse to see it.

Many a Republican politicians have used their own personal emails for work. Yes she was very stupid to use it exclusively, but in general, she is not a stupid women. I think she did so to keep the prying eyes of the gov't out of what she was doing. As I stated - cunning.

Whatever HRC has stated, it doesn't come close to the racist rhetoric Trump has spewed. And to add, he openly mocked a disabled person on national tv, and he has used some ugly words to describe women when they dared to attack his rhetoric, not to mention also attacking a man's physical appearance. People mock Trump's physical appearance, yes, but neither HRC nor Sanders have done so to Trump on national tv. That is the difference. I expect more and better from a potential POTUS, not someone who acts like a spoiled child, a bully. I would not tolerate Trump's behavior in my children. Why would want such behavior in our President? I would have to shield my kids from our President. As I stated, I am not an HRC fan, but at least I wouldn't have to shield my kids from watching her on tv, unlike Trump.

Trump is stupid on another level:
1. that he would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it
2. that he would help the economy if it was tanking by borrowing more and more, and if we defaulted, he'd just print more money. He obviously thinks it's no big to default on loans since he's done so with several of his business ventures
3. that he thinks Putin is great
4. that he would be willing to talk to Kim Jung Un at this point
5. that he would not defend our allies within NATO, playing right into Putin's hands

Even non-politicians can see how stupid some of his plans are. He shoots from the hip without thinking. That is dangerous and stupid.

still yet another that doesn't know difference between using personal email and having own server! What other politician has used own server? Her emails would have been more secure if she had used personal email account like hotmail.

Yes, she was stupid for doing so. But, Trump is not just dumb, but mean and and a bully. I would be too ashamed of him as a president.

So, really, the choice is between dumb and dumber. I pick less dumb and less evil.

Did you follow what Hillary did to Bill's special "friends"? I don't know what you think "mean" is--but to lie to parents of the dead is not exactly "kind"........

[Anonymous]

Anyone susceptible to facts wouldn't support Trump in the first place.

[Anonymous]

it is your interpretation, after the fact, that she lied. Not to mention, the family of ambassador stevens doesn't feel this way. They are tired of the republicans using their tragedy that they don't blame clinton for as a talking point.

Politicians lie all the time.. it's innate. So no, I don't consider lying by a politician to be "mean". I do consider making fun of a disabled person on national tv being mean, though.

Why do you think Donald Trump said "he loved" the uneducated OP? He knows he can get one over on them. I'm from a redneck part of Ohio and I'm still amazed that people are so stupid. It's a sad reflection on what we stand for in America ... tv over reading. Humans are lazy.

I can't believe that shot didn't take him out right then. The man has said so damn many things that would have been the end for any other candidate. It is absolutely the most mind boggling thing I have ever seen.

Some Americans are lazy, dont generalize everyone. I generally see people who are spoiled by relative wealth are lazy. Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and other Asians are one of the hardest working people ever.
