Take a look at Hillary and Trump on the issues. Forget emails, and personalities and teeny hands and bad hair.

(they all LOVE the Middle-Class, btw. Just love it. No mention of the Poor-Class, of course. They are unmentionable. I should just start calling them the Untouchables.)

Which policies stand out to you? Which policies surprise you, if any.

I didn’t realize Hillary sponsored a bill that would
criminalize flag-burning.

I absorbed new info and changed my mind to oppose TPP
Q: You supported Obama’s trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP, dozen of times. You even called it the “gold standard”. Now, suddenly, last week, you’re against it.
CLINTON: Well, actually, I have been very consistent. Over the course of my entire life, I have always fought for the same values and principles, but, like most human beings–including those of us who run for office–I do absorb new information. I do look at what’s happening in the world. Take the trade deal. I did say, when I was secretary of state, three years ago, that I hoped it would be the gold standard. It was just finally negotiated last week, and in looking at it, it didn’t meet my standards. My standards for more new, good jobs for Americans, for raising wages for Americans. And I want to make sure that I can look into the eyes of any middle-class American and say, “this will help raise your wages.” And I concluded I could not.

It’s bullshit. Her emails reveal that she was a major player in negotiating TPP.

She’s a pathological liar.

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

Here’s one. And I simply don’t have the time tonight to go over all the differences but here is an example of how Wall Street would far prefer Trump than her. After the financial collapse that nearly caused us another great depression Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank financial reform law with virtually no Republican support. The law toughened regulations on banks and other financial firms and set up a panel of regulators to watch for signs of instability and created a consumer bureau, which has broad authority to oversee credit cars, mortgages and other financial products. Republicans with the Wall Street engine behind them have been trying to cut back or eliminate the law totally.The law-in the most simple of terms-requires financial institutions -including banks-to withhold a designated amount of capital to cover potential losses. Trump has supported a Dodd-Frank overhaul and is supported by Wall Street. Hillary Clinton OTOH has steadfastly supported the law and is totally opposed to the recent proposal by House Republican Jeb Hensarling to overhaul the law. This has made Wall Street very very mad at Ms. Clinton. Her stance is just one of many examples-but a very important one- of how her polices are not lock and step with Wall Street.Street.
