STOP THE PRESSES!!!
"...occasionally fudges truths..."
Are you kidding me? How about "never tells the truth."
"...a husband who lacks discipline when it comes to moneymaking and women..."
Lacks discipline?
"...she’s studious..."
But not studious enough to pass the bar exam first time around.
Is this the best they have? If so, it's all over folks.
“...she’s studious...”
But used “I don’t recall” 39 times in her FBI “interview.”
I am no admirer of Mr. Trump, but Friedman manages to reverse the fundamental character of these two candidates.
Trump is not “an indecent human being.” While his personal life is colorful to say the least, his personal mistakes and misjudgements splashed over the tabloids, he seems to have settled down, and projects a flawed, if basically decent human character.
There are no backdoor/tabloid stories from masses of disgruntled employees about what a horrible boss he was, rather, most of his employees seem to like working for him. He has raised talented kids who seem to earn their keep. He is a braggart, occasionally crude, occasionally full of himself, and has made some scurrilous charges against opponents.
He also seems to understand that the national political process has been corrupted and detached from the general population, and pursues power to fix what he sees as broken.
Mrs. Clinton, is fundamentally “indecent” and her flaws go way beyond “...a weakness for secrecy, occasionally fudges truths, has fawning aides and a husband who lacks discipline when it comes to moneymaking and women.”
Mrs. Clinton’s agenda is first and foremost about the pursuit of both money and power for personal and family benefit. She has no political center, aside from the utility of government largess as a tool to gain money and power. She has latched onto collectivist ideology not from conviction, but from recognition that it empowers government and provides her tools she can use to reward allies and punish enemies.
She is a remarkable combination of arrogance and ignorance. With a faith in her own abilities that is not justified when you look at her record. She habitually blames others for her failures, and treats employees and advisers as servants, dismissing as irrelevant anyone who cannot benefit her directly.
As President, she would enact policies that would cripple our economy, undermine our liberties, and empower her to use government as a club against anyone who opposes her.
Choosing Trump over her is quite possibly the easiest electoral choice I have made since 1984.
He says she has a "weakness for secrecy", as if she's sort of a private person. But that's not the case. That secrecy is her cover for corruption. She uses the power of the government for personal favors and benefit. That is not privacy, it's obstruction of justice. That's not secrecy, it's deliberate deception.
And while I don't think I would do or say some of the things that Trump would, his integrity regrading the desire to help the American people is stellar. He may be occasionally crass, but he has never been corrupt. And that is the reason Trump has attracted so many followers. We know that personality quirks do not hurt America, but government corruption does.
The establishment and elite are so accustomed to this corruption, that they can't even recognize it, or it's ill effects.
