That's fair.

And obviously, where Trump is the alternative, she looks like a golden candidate. If I was American I would support her without question.

But that black mark would, for me at least, set her behind any number of other qualified candidates. Unfortunately, the US doesn't seem to have any number of other qualified candidates.

Clinton should win this just merely on the basis of the deciding who the Supreme Court judges will be over her tenure alone.

Trump would probably host a reality tv show for it or something.

I know this is blasphamy but I liked GW Bush. He's a good man. Did what he thought was right for the country. I think he delivers a good speech too (im in the minority). Sure he made mistakes but every President does. He was a Republican. The Republicans have lost their way. They lost me 100% after Sandy Hook and now 200% after Trump. GW Bush not attending this years Republican Convention tells us everything.

Her yelling shows that she cannot be President.

Trump for President 2016.

I don't think her voice is lower than Hillary's. The difference is in talking to the audience rather than talking at them. It's an art, and some people just don't have the full tool kit. She's doing okay for what she's able to do, it's just limited. I'm concerned that people who aren't as keyed into the substance of what she's saying will tune her out. The actual concepts here should be instant death for Trump.

Trump never yells. He's a polished orator and gives a skillful and intellectually honest speech each time.

Her style definitely works best for some good ol' Trump bashing. That was clear when she gave that foreign policy speech a couple of months ago.

It wasn't great but he was somewhat handcuffed. 9/11 happened 9 months into his term. I thought his economic, education and immigration policies were good. He got 40% of the Latino vote in both elections. The Republicans today wouldn't even get half that.

it's still shocking to me that Donald Trump is the republican nominee. What are they thinking? Unbelievable. He is sooooooooo bad.

Is he the worst republican nominee in history?
