[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's never been called a "man's card" in US History when all of the men have run (including a black man). So why now, is it just called a "woman's card" when Hillary is running[/quote]

It’s never been called a “man card” because the men who have run have not run on their gender. 
Hillary has repeatedly said that it’s time to have a woman in the WH.  That is playing the woman card. 
If she isn’t trying to play the woman card, she should run on her experience and leave her gender out of it.  [/quote]

It is actually very late not have a woman president in US and Hillary is eminently more qualified than her male contenders. Its just your prejudice that you cannot see it![/quote]

No, not my prejudice.  I don’t agree with her politics or her proposed policies.  I don’t trust her judgment.  I don’t believe she is trustworthy. 
Believe me, there are plenty of reasons why I won’t vote for her.  Her gender has nothing to do with it.  
And, I don’t consider her qualified.  Serving in a particular office does not make one qualified.  Her performance in her previous roles is what counts, and that performance was severely lacking.  [/quote]
You trust Donald Trump's judgment? You find him trustworthy? You consider him qualified to serve as president? [b]You're a man, right[/b]?[/quote]

Nope.  Your gender radar is off.  [/quote]
Okay, so you're a white or Asian female. Do you believe affirmative action for blacks and Latinos comes at the expense of whites and Asians? Did you move to a more white and Asian part of MD or VA for the schools? And I asked if you think Trump is trustworthy, honest and qualified to be president. [/quote]

I don’t believe affirmative action should be based on race at all.  I believe it should be based on SES.  And, I don’t live in MD or VA.  I live well outside of the DC area.
And, yes, I do believe he is honest and trustworthy, and qualified.  A prerequisite for president does not stipulate that one has had to serve in government.  
I don’t agree with everything he promotes.  I think some of his language has been inflammatory and provocative.  But, I think he will do a good job as Commander in Chief and as the executor of our nation.  [/quote]
You believe he is honest and trustworthy despite the fact that multiple fact-checking publications have found the majority of his fact-checked statements are false? OK. What do you base your opinion on, then? [/quote]

Much of what he has said was due to getting media coverage.  FREE media coverage.  And, it has worked like a charm.  
When I dig deep into a candidate’s belief - I tend to look more at that candidate’s actions and accomplishments, not as much what he says on the campaign trail.  Obama said a ton of stuff on the campaign trail - he promised to never use executive actions, yet he has.  He promised not to have lobbyists working in the WH.  They are.  Many other promises and statements that are not true or things he promised but has not done......So, what a candidate says when campaigning has to be taken with a grain of salt.  
Since Trump is not a politician, one has to look at what he has done as a business person.  And, he has had success.  He has many female executives, despite what many on the left will say about him being a misogynist.  Yes, he did declare bankruptcy - but that is not surprising given the number of business deals he has made.  He has also raised some incredibly talented and decent kids.  Many kids of people of wealth are spoiled brats.  They aren’t. 
When given the choice between Trump and Hillary, Trump is the more accomplished candidate, IMO.  I think HRC’s decision-making, judgment, and secrecy have disqualified her in my eyes.

Trump's kids are incredibly talented and decent? Which ones the big-game hunters? And you think Donald Trump raised them?

And it's OK with you that he makes statements that are wildly false, because it's all part of his incredibly smart strategy of getting free media coverage?

Yikes. [/quote]

Yes, they are decent and talented.  You think because someone is a big game hunter they are not decent people?  And, yes, I believe Trump was very active in parenting them. 
And, if we want to discuss false statements, we can look at Obama’s record with making false statements.  I guess people who voted for him have overlooked those..........[/quote]
