I simply pointed out that both Pres Obama and Hillary are both far more politically experienced than Trump. So if you're going to claim that Obama's experienced, what does it say about Trump? I'm not going to compliment nor criticize Illinois's corruption record because that's not the issue here.
Then I'm not sure your point here since political experience has nothing to do with "need a first".
You missed my point...she got voted in on name recognition only.. I didn't say she wasn't born there just never invested in the State in anyway until she saw a opening to allow her to win on name recognition only. Bush on the other hand lived and worked in Texas since the 60s. My main point is her political savvy/experience is dubious at best other than her last name.

Remember something, I voted for Bernie. I don't even like the Clintons.
On a side note how did you like the "Fix is in" against old Bernie. Didn't it also bother you that this whole time it was only Bernie to challenge her?
I see all these real events going on and people like you take old fashion political rhetoric as some kind of bigger issue.

However, I simply loathe Trump and the Repubs even more. Trump called for putting all American Muslims in a database, surveillance of Muslims, closing mosques, etc. That directly affects myself and my family and is absolutely unacceptable.
You are already in a database. We all are.
You are already surveilled. We all are.
As for closing mosques... any Mosques that are proven to preach hatred should be closed and bulldozed.

I don't see her as a particularly good role model for women at all.
Women don't support her because she's a good role model, they support her because of her long standing concerns for women and children.

We can also add he lacks substance to his plans, his lack of knowledge concerning foreign policies and how government runs, communicates poorly and displays juvenile temperament when criticized.
That's just it. They both lie, they both cheat, they both have very high disapproval numbers, and rightly so. They pretty much even out on corruption, so voters' decisions come down to policy, knowledge, temperament, emotional stability, intelligence and experience, And in my opinion, there's no contest. None. No comparison.

I was just pointing out that using Obama's "inexperience" as a slight against him was ridiculous, considering he not only had experience but he had more experience than Trump. Hence why I highlighted that part of your post.
(I consider her the Dem's version of Cheney).

1. If he was simply referring to the databases that you think we're already in, there'd be no need to make special ones just for Muslims. And you might want to check the 14th Amendment to our Constitution (Section 1).
2. What's the line between "preaching hate", "free speech, and "freedom of religion"? Because churches here (Deep South) openly preach against homosexuals, transsexuals, and even against Muslims. Does that count?
And terrorist groups like the KKK are completely legal here, even though they've killed thousands of Americans, burned down countless African American churches, and terrorized entire communities of Americans for 150 years (including killing 2 of my great uncles). And even conservative talk radio openly says stuff like this: BTW this is the very same Mike Savage who was banned from entering your country for hate speech, but it's completely legal here too.
And listen to this justification for the Christian conquest of Native American lands.
But every single time we point out the "hate" that these groups preach, they claim that it's simply "free speech". So what constitutes "preaching hatred"?

Well Trump does not think the fix is in or he would not be rebooting his campaign to become a GOP poster boy. No more crazy talk, racism, sexism or attacks on his own party, endorsing his enemies Ryan and McCain, and his pack of Wall Street donors have just been made his economic advisory team.
Now who knows how long Trump can behave himself but, clearly he would not bow down to the demands of the GOP if he thought he could not be elected because the "fix" is in.
What amazes me is that people think the a man who insults minorities, women, the disabled, POWs. his own party. Gold Star families, and just about everybody else is somebody who would need a "fix" not to get elected.
I don't think I could look up to a woman who did not feel and express concern for the needs of other women and children....
