Well I suppose, AJ if you mean keeping a straight face while lying, selling out on the people and putting on a self righteous front knowing that you are rotten to the core then yep Hillary has temperament.

She is also intelligent in the fact that she appeals to the dumbed down masses who put personality over policy. I would not be so sure that Clinton is not Trump AJ. Her nature has been shown to be just as corrupt as yours and mine.

What, you don’t think Trump fits that description too, runner?

<<Well I suppose, AJ if you mean keeping a straight face while lying, selling out on the people and putting on a self righteous front knowing that you are rotten to the core then yep Hillary has temperament.>>

No, what I meant was that Clinton is articulate enough to speak without rambling incoherently (http://youtu.be/3yBGE80covk?t=510); I meant that Clinton is capable of being diplomatic; I meant that Clinton has some degree of control over what she says and does.

Most people can be blind drunk and still have more control over their words and actions than what Trump does. Trump's mouth alone is an international security risk.

<<She is also intelligent in the fact that she appeals to the dumbed down masses who put personality over policy.>>

That’s funny given that Trump is the only one appealing to the public’s fears and prejudices.

<<I would not be so sure that Clinton is not Trump AJ.>>

That goes back to my point though. She could be just like Trump, or even worse, but she would still be better by virtue of the three points I listed earlier.

No, Trump is not fit to be POTUS. Most of us here on OLO would be better candidates, and we're not even American.

Why would the NSW Greens find it necessary to have an official opinion on any candidate for a foreign election? Perhaps they have run out of causes, and they simply cannot keep their big, ignorant gobs shut for very long.

As Greg Sheridan said, Trump and Clinton are the two worst candidates in American history. But, Clinton represents the born-to-rule crooks that have dragged America down to its present pathetic state; Trump has fresh ideas Americans, like Australians, have been yearning for, he is not a career politician; and, if Trumps foul mouth (well, something he said 11 years ago - when Bill the Bull would still have been shagging anything breathing) is a problem for U.S voters, then they should think about the effing and blinding which is part of Mrs. Clinton's every talk, and her reference to the "goddamned" American flag.

Despite his many faults, Trump is still the better of two bad candidates.

Hey AJ Phillips,
Dinesh D'Souza researched and showed in his recent film "Hillary's America" how 'The Big Switch' is actually a lie.
They never switched; its not true which means that what I'm saying actually has merit and you should look into it, because it is a very important point to note.

Yes but even Huma Abedin warned colleagues Hillary was 'often confused' and needed hand-holding with foreign leaders; and she wears an earpiece and has help.

He's not always so bad, though I accept your point.
Most of it is the media whipping up a frenzy to create talking points to keep the public focussed on rather than the emails.
You're being played, he can be intelligent and decisive too but they don't publicize those videos.

Your listening to the wrong news, plenty of people fear/oppose Hillary; even the other candidates.

The Greens Party candidate in the US now supports Trump because she fears WW3

I've Been pondering a response to the promoting fear comment in regard to what I've read of a recent speech by Michelle Obama and the play to women's fears. Not sure how much of what I've read was in context for her speech and how much is picked up by feminists and taken to their own spin though.

Many of the points I've heard are legitimate points but expressed in a manner that suggests that it's only men who do the hurting, that many of those men who act the creepiest are to some degree that way because of the sometimes vicious cycle of hurt or reward for the wrong things between the genders.

It's not a one way street and the following points are an attempt to put a male perspective on it rather than suggest the bad behaviour of some men is all women fault. The point is the harm goes both ways.

Men like Trump have been able to get away with their attitudes to women because far to many women will value him for his wealth, celebrity and power regardless of the person he is. Other men learn a contempt by being treated as less valuable as humans, potential partners etc just on the basis of their lack of earning power, celebrity or power.

I don't see the feminists decrying those women who value men on the basis of what they have at all let alone in the same way they decry men for valuing women primarily on looks.

I do see them wanting the same high incomes and power (the topic of celebrity is not in my view raised in the same context) often on the basis of gender rather than what it takes to achieve those things.

Part 2

I don't see feminists condemning the women who think playing "hard to get" and other manipulative games is a legitimate part of forming a relationship (it may happen but if so the protest is very muted).

Most of the men I know would happily see the genuine abusive males put out of harms way, the rapists, the gropers, the ones who won't take no for an answer etc but we are also aware that to a point many women reward the variants of those same behaviours.

We learn from each other. Until the message is for all of us to treat the other with respect and value them for the person they are rather than what they have or how they look there can be little progress in reducing the worst of treatment of the other gender (and some people are just bad anyway).
