You're tired of the equation "scumbag equals scumbag."I'm tired of this false equivalence.
Okay.
Hillary Clinton cares about ONE PERSON - Hillary Clinton. Just like Trump.She's a politician with some shady dealings during her decades under public scrutiny and a few errors in judgement, some of which have been profound. But she doesn't carry significantly more corruption than one can expect from a lifelong politician, and she's overall a competent woman and a decent human being who cares about the prosperity and security of the country.
Hillary attacked women verbally who told the truth about her husband's sexual peccadilloes, both legal and illegal. Just like Trump.
Hillary is a NY liberal. Just like Trump.
Hillary has never run a city or state and I don't believe she was a committee chair - same as Trump. (She has been elected Senator and served primarily in the minority party and headed a Cabinet dept for four years).
She is a woman who went after her husband's opponent in the 1990 governor's race and got up at HIS press conference because she knew she could get away with it because of who her husband was.
SHE claimed her husband was under attack from a vast conspiracy - just like Trump argues.
The two have more in common that you seem to be willing to admit. Having known two folks who spent MUCH time in close proximity to HRC and both told me the same story years apart that she is precisely what most of us see - a condescending, entitled witch....the only REAL difference in her and Trump as far as how they treat people is SHE PRETENDS in public and he doesn't. (Incidentally, both of these folks - long before she ran for office - said VERY nice things about Bill's personality and treatment of people in their presence, which does away with the partisan argument).
But that wasn't even my point. All I said above was the woman is willing to have a recount done just so somebody else pays for it. And to be honest with you, there's no doubt in my mind that Trump would leave the bill to be turned over to collections.
What's funny is that Trump right now in terms of broken promises is acting EXACTLY like Bill Clinton did in 1992. Now - he's obviously arrogant in the approach - but Clinton took office having broken his middle class tax cut, his pledge to let the poor, black people (Clinton emphasized those points for some reason) of Haiti come here to escape the bad stuff there (and hundreds died in the sea), and he kept shifting and changing even before December arrived. (He'd later abandon his pledge of open gays in the military, too).He is an authoritarian, vengeful narcissist with a compulsion to lie. He lacks the composure to hold any public office and has shown no loyalty or accountability toward the voters who put him in office. He values his own personal gain over the well-being of the country. Since the election, he has spent more time watching Infowars and trafficking in disproven conspiracy theories than listening to intelligence briefings. He legitimately doesn't care about national security. The man is a disgrace and embarassment, and his childish ineptitude puts our republic in danger.
It's always funny to me to hear any Clinton apologist complain about ANY candidate lying. Please note I do NOT dispute your claim of him lying almost compulsively - he DOES. You get no argument from me there at all. But the same tactic invoked by the Clintonistas makes me suspect lying is not what really gets any of you folks up in arms, either.
I actually agree with you here, but that wasn't really my point. I know some Republicans who voted for HRC by saying, "She's crooked, he's nuts - I can live with crooked but nuts might blow up the world." I don't judge or impugn these people at all. I understand it. Maybe if she wasn't such a snot, I'd have voted for her.You may think both were bad choices, and that's fine. But they were in no way equivalent choices.
But that wasn't REALLY my point above, either. She conceded. She wasn't going to have a recount. Someone raised money for it from liberals desperate to overturn the choice of the people, the same liberals who scream about things like the homeless, starving children, and no health care. Well then why couldn't this compassionate ones go find some medical bills from poor people and GIVE THEIR MONEY to pay that since they're so compassionate?
The answer, of course, is because there's no power in it for them. They can come up with a million for recounts of an election but not to help the fellow man. (I expect this from supposed non-compassionate conservatives - although virtually every study done will show you conservatives in general are actually more charitable, but I digress since that's not fair - I actually know some charitable liberals who give more than I do, and unlike much of the left, I don't put everyone into a category for definition).
So now, she's on board for a recount - because she doesn't have to pay for it. She's a typical liberal, just like Christopher Columbus.
She should have done the smart thing and denounced it up front. But I suspect this is REALLY about going after Trump's legitimacy right out of the box. It won't work, though - it didn't work with Bush and the President becomes legitimate solely by fact of his inauguration.
That said, I'm NOT happy about it at all.
