My opinion is simple:
Donald Trump is about personality.
Hillary Clinton is about policy.
Neither of them can keep a promise.
Neither of them has a purpose with which I can identify.

In comparing the two, I would have to conclude that one favors policy and one favors personality. The one favoring policy favors it so she can avoid personal attacks. The one favoring personality favors that so he can avoid detailed critical thinking. Neither of the candidates cares much for promises, particularly the one regarding protecting the constitution.

LOL Only if it's sincere.

Interesting stories. I can see why your blood pressure would go up a tad, but you stuck it out and didn't give into your fears. You are one admirable dino.

You are right. The USA never achieved its potential and is now on the decline. It was a magnificent attempt. I doubt, that it will ever reach the heights of the past let alone surpass them. It is one of the saddest things I (and many others) have had to endure.

I recall an instructor at annual training who said, "I know every time you enter that prison, your blood pressure goes up a tad."
Before I worked 21 years at a max near Birmingham, my first 6 months was spent at a medium security prison at Atmore, AL, where I lived two blocks from the Florida line (Guess where I always went on my days off).
Recall two stories told at that place.
1. New officers arrive after being trained at Selma for a few weeks (dang, can't remember how many weeks after all these years). One looks back as the barred gate slides shut to a pronounced clang behind him.
He keeps staring for a few long seconds as his companions continue up a hall to the shift office that's on the opposite side of the prison. He starts to follow his companions when he suddenly hurries back and waves for the cubical officer to let him out that gate. That newbie is never seen again.
2. A visiting state trooper has some reason to go to the shift office when inmates are visibly walking around in the hall between the cell blocks. He never does. He refuses to take off his firearm even though he can carry a baton like the rest of the corrections officers.
So he is not allowed to enter. "Bye, big bad trooper, have a nice day. Snicker! Snicker!" (Not to his face. That would be rude).

And if you include the lost productivity from that $22 trillion, the cost to us for the war on poverty is much higher than that.

Opps, I am wrong. The War on Poverty has cost us 22 trillion dollars.

Good for you, Dino. I admire anyone who can conquer their fears. Me, I'm into avoiding them. That's why I have returned to reading Jane Austen and Poldark novels. I need to give the Hilldebeast and Obozo a rest ever so often..

Hi Herb,
"I don't think either side can win"
Great analogy we have a country that has been run into the ground and these two inept and entitled elite blowhards are our option. Of the two Trump is better on the acknowledgement of the 20 trillion in debt and the exodus of jobs . I believe he mentioned the second amendment and I have not witnessed Trump selling access to the US arsenal for donations to his foundation. The problem is
An epidemic of collectivism and altruistic control through media including entertainment , Education
Plus more control of healthcare. I think we have already lost. Time for a new game. It is called adhere to The Constitution. With out that the rest is .........

I've always been into conquering fear--even when it makes me cringe.
As for last night, I can't stay away from a horror show if only for peeking at it.

You could have turned over to the Tigers' baseball game.

You and Herb should have known better to have even taken a peek or watched any of it.

sure does look dim from here! -- j

My wife and I watched the debate for about 30 min.. My wife who has been a RN for thirty years made a diagnosis that Hillary was smiling way to much than a normal person. Then her run on talk ignoring Trump or the moderator showed that she could be on some mood elevating medication or a product that has a similar effect.
Today, I had an appt. with my Doctor that got me off a psychotropic medication that I was taking for years that damaged my health; we discussed the debate and she considered that it was possible that Hillary was medicated.
So, there you have it two diagnosis of Hillary by medical professionals.

After the first 20 minutes, I started wondering what I ever did with the kid's Lego set.

Hildebeast is out for HERSELF only. Why people could possibly think she will care about anyone else amazes me. She wants votes not, and then she will just wield power, give nothing to people, then ask for votes in 4 years. Trump is right about that.

Did she tell Trump that i what she wanted to be called, Sec. of State? He asked her during the debate and said he wanted her to be happy. I remember how spastic Pelosi went when a general referred to her as Mam, instead of Madam Speaker, what ego.

I could only handle about 45 minutes of sound bytes then I had to change the channel. Hillary was well coached in presenting unrelated concepts that sounded great but had no merit - ie "trickle down economics" caused the last recession. It was the collapse of the housing market created by the federal governments "affordable housing act" in my view that resulted in the collapse. Trump missed an excellent opportunity to respond "John F. Kennedy lowered taxes to help the economy" after he was elected - and was a Democrat. Maybe her concussion wiped out that part of her memory.
I too voted for Perot. I thought he made sense with his grafts and explanations. His VP candidate looked like a deer in headlights I suspect that cost him the election.
I didn't hear either of them discuss the 19 trillion spent on the "War on Poverty" and the resulting brake up of the family unit - unless that was after I tuned out. Ronald Reagan said it best: "The government is the problem, not the solution."
Still looking for a real life Gault's Gulch.

I like to say that we're entering a new dark age.

Similar...

they key is "There's no confidence left" and that has been deliberately cultivated. The end result,as intended all along, external governance and an end to the Great Experiment and its Constitution..

Fox calls her "Mrs Clinton" a lot, fortunately. She ISNT Sec of State anymore

Rand was a genius to predict all this.
