She has no shame: Hillary Clinton wore a $12,495 Armani jacket during a speech about inequality.

This is an irrational objection. Nobody who is complaining about excessive inequality in the US is proposing that it be replaced by total equality.

Even the Scandinavian countries lauded in

aren't anything like totally equal, and do include people who can afford, a nd do buy, Armani jackets. The social gradients are shallower, and the poor are a lot better off, but there are still rich people around (though they aren't as rich and powerful or numerous as the richest in the US).

If Hillary hadn't put on her best jacket for the New York primary victory s peech, when was she supposed to put it on? Not before her inauguration?

I think the rational response is to solve the problem at its source and have Jim Thompson kill Armani. Then there won't *be* $12,495 jackets to wear. Now that's equality!

I'll bet this must be a real dilemma for Trump!

On the one hand, I suspect his natural tendency is to BOAST about how his "custom, hand sewn suit" cost "much much more! VERY much more! A HUGE bunch more!!".

And, I'm sure his "keepers" are telling him he can't go there and has to, instead, feign that he owns more AFFORDABLE attire.

[Yet, that deflates the "mystique": "Gee, he doesn't want us to see his tax returns, he buys cheap suits... maybe he really ISN'T worth what he claims??"]

Sure. We keep on thinking about what right-wing nitwit posts are actually saying, rather than basking in the warm glow the Jim gets from being irrationally unhappy about everything that to his left in politics.

Jim doesn't like thinking, except when he's being paid for it.

Probably not a practical solution. If there was no Armani, the fashion business would be forced to invent a replacement, and Donald Trump would be boasting about having spent some ridiculous sum on an item of clothing bought from the new front-runner.

With any luck, the replacement would be good at their job, and rational people (like Hillary Clinton) would spend quite a lot on getting costumes from them that looked good.

And you folks who THINK they "know the truth" (about me -- or ANYTHING, for that matter) are so disappointing...

Have you *seen* my voting record? Really? Can you tell me HOW you saw it? Or, was this just another delusional "vision"?

I'd chuckle at Trump in the White House -- much to the chagrin of my conservative friends who are scared shitless that he'd be just as willing to cut a deal' with the left as with anyone else -- and not hesitate to lambaste the "members of his own party" that are standing in his way in his weekly (daily?) oval office appearances!

"Don't reelect Ryan! He's a jerk! He's not letting the legislation that I want get through the House! Call your congressmen! Tell them you're mad and you want (whatever I say)!"

And, of course, they'd be very obviously on the hook for putting him there (though I'm sure they'll find a way of shifting their blame to clinton... or, maybe even obama! yeah! *HE* is the problem!!)

[Of course, I don't have any kids to worry about the mess that might be left behind -- "Apres nous, le deluge"]

If he can change his mind more often than his underwear, his "keepers" must be wondering when he's going to chafe at the bit and *bolt* on his own. With *nothing* to stop him (save the next election cycle when he'll see which way the wind is blowing and rewrite his scripts, accordingly)

It's well established that the manufacturer is always at fault as to how their products are used. Just ask the gun makers.

She's a criminal sociopath. Of course she has no shame.

Hillary Clinton is not a criminal. In theory she might have done something criminal and not been caught, but Ken Starr spent long enough looking for a nything that he could pin on her, and failing, that we can be fairly sure t hat she isn't any kind of criminal.

She certainly doesn't look like a sociopath either - not that it's a well-d efined term, which is why a non-thinker like John Larkin is happy to throw it around. Politician tend to be very conscious of the duties and responsib ilities between colleagues, and while they may betray one another from time to time, they don't do it lightly or casually and are very conscious of th e damage they are doing. Sociopaths lack that sensitivity, which is why the y don't make good politicians.

John Larkin, by contrast, seems to be outing himself as a right-wing nitwit . Any moment now he may he admit that he could vote for Trump, as the lesse r of two evils.

How many jobs did Hillary create compared to Trump?

Reply to

Hilary has kept a couple of hundred FBI agents employed for a year or so.

How many more jobs could Trump have created with his father's money if he wasn't an egomaniac ignoramus?

Hillary Clinton was trained as a lawyer, which isn't a profession aimed at job creation, so it's a stupid question.

Neither of them has saved any lives by medical intervention, so maybe we should cast both of them aside and re-invigorate Ben Carson.

She created four openings in Benghazi.

I don't think that Islamic militants involved were acting as her agents. Th e State Department clearly should have taken the security of the diplomatic compounds involved a lot more seriously, but Clinton wasn't directly invol ved in the - bad - choices that were made. She accepted ultimate responsibi lity - as Secretary of State at the time she didn't have much choice - but claiming that she created the four openings is a very long stretch.

I would vote for Ben Carson if he had a chance of winning. But as things are, anything is better than a Democrat, especially one with no shame..

I lost my enthusiasm for Dr. Ben quickly but your second sentence is right on. Today, Democrat == totalitarian socialist. Unfortunately, too many Republicans are Democrat-Lite.

Well, Trump was a Democrat for a while, and he certainly hasn't got any shame.

You may not like Hillary, but she can a least tell the same story to different audiences. Electing somebody who can't achieve policy consistency would be foolhardy.
