What's this?

Sorry, but that's a bunch of laughable nonsense.

Hillary was far from ideal, no quarrel there. But even putting her in the same sentence as someone as despicable as Donald Trump eliminates all credibility for the rest of your post.

You'll have to explain how Hillary mistreats her employees too -- I happen to know a few people who worked for her or with her over the years and that is wholly inconsistent with the actual real accounts I've heard from them. She isn't much of a politician and actually from what I gather is a very private person and an introvert so she can be off-putting .... even arrogant and unlikeable, but that's a far cry from being an amoral crook.

Trump, OTOH, has a long history of cheating his contractors, sexually harrassing women, discriminating against tenants, and just all in all being a damned jerk. He has carried that into his presidency, which is an embarrassment to this country. Hillary is nowhere close to his league. Even Bill -- who has more of those negative qualities than she did -- cared about the mission of being POTUS. Trump is scum.
