First, that's called deflection, a way for you to desperately avoid answering my question by trying to hide in plain sight. Second, the Christianity standard isn't the Democrats standard, it's yours. You've spent the last 40 years insisting all Republicans are Jesus and all Democrats are evil. When I ask you how you can stand by Trump, I'm holding you to YOUR standard. And thirdly, no he's not. It's not even close. Hillary embodies far more Christian values. Trump says, and stands for, the most un-Christian statements and policies of ANY presidential candidate.
The Republicans are going to vote for Trump. They are, they know it, and they hate themselves for it. They're sycophants, desperately trying to validate the unconscionable act they're about to perform in November, and they seem to be focusing on the excuse, "Hillary Clinton is no better than Donald Trump, so what does it matter?"
It matters a lot, but I'm not going to get into a policy discussion with grunters. I've spent the last 15 years trying to talk policy with you guys, and you refuse to even acknowledge the sun rises in the east.
No, I'm going to spend this article proving without a doubt Trump and Clinton are not equal. Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified candidates in the history of Presidential politics. To prove my point, I'll compare her to Trump.
The Republican prism is two fold. Not only do they float conspiracy theories about Clinton which even a bath salts addicted Florida face eater would find illogical, they purposely and willfully deny 99% of Trump's actions and statements, just to make him an equal meal to the Bizarro Hillary crap sandwich they've made up.
Let's start with the Christianity issue. Jesus wouldn't ever contemplate nuclear weapon usage, or war, or denying needy people food, shelter, and medical care. The Bible is also crystal clear when it comes to welcoming in strangers from strange lands. Trump, and the Republican Party, have introduced and supported policies and platforms which embrace an EXTREMELY anti-Christian mentality. Hillary Clinton has not.
Trump and the Republican Party have embraced the idea of running the country like it's a corporation. This is a really bad idea. The country is far more of a union than a business (you can't just lay off Delaware when you are having a bad year), but with the GOP's wealth worshipping turned up to 11, they've become enthralled with the image of a 1980's, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous type of businessman candidate. The problem with Trump? There seems to be enough evidence he's a sketchy businessman, AT BEST! We know he's had a lot of financial troubles over the years, and where exactly his current creditors are based should concern everyone.
Hillary was a First Lady, US Senator and the Secretary of State. She's very familiar with how Washington DC operates and is experienced on foreign stages. She's never had the personal financial problems of Trump, and although the right desperately wants to make Clinton Foundation donations into an issue, the Clinton Foundation has been held to a much higher standard than other charitable organizations, even ones run by former Presidents. There's no smoking gun, regardless of how much the Republican voter wants it to be true.
Trump implied his supporters could assassinate Hillary Clinton. Trump attacked numerous military families of soldiers, the same families 2003 Republicans treated with respect (Remember "Support the Troops"?). Trump has embraced, and is likely deep in financial dealings with, Russia, even encouraging them to hack into US Government computers and release the information they find to the world. Russia's run by a tyrannical despot in Vladimir Putin, and is a country the Republican God Reagan would've never trusted. All of these things are skimmed over by Republicans, conveniently ignored to try to make Trump more palatable.
Hillary hasn't done anything remotely as traitorous or anti-American, but the GOP has convinced themselves she has.
You want double standards? Here are four pages, 97 examples, of things that Trump has done which if Hillary would've done, ANY of them, we'd have Democratic Candidate Sanders (Courtesy of John Stoehr, @JohnAStoehr on Twitter. Not sure why but 14, 38 and 42 are missing. Watch for language!):
Once again, not only is this a list of things Hillary Clinton HASN'T done, it's a list of things Donald Trump HAS done! Pretty much most of these things would end Clinton's candidacy, and in the case of the hat and the tan, she'd be relentlessly mocked. The Republican logic mind wipes must be overloading.
Republicans will insist Hillary is just as bad as Trump because of the 'e-mail scandal.' She's been investigated numerous times, and ZERO charges have been filed against her. NONE! Facts and reality don't matter to the right. To prove this, let me ask: if Clinton using private e-mail was a criminal offense tantamount to treason, then why was the right never bothered by any of these scandals; either equally as bad, or in the case of W. and Trump, FAR WORSE!
I know GOP'ers, the next point is Benghazi. Once again, numerous investigations, and even the Republicans have admitted the Obama Administration, including then Secretary of State Clinton, did nothing wrong. Once again, if embassy attacks are the worst thing ever, warranting dozens of investigations, where was ANY Republican outrage at these attacks:
For the record, I'm not the biggest fan of internet memes, but sometimes they do prove a point.
I'll end the beat down there, but I could go into a long post about Melania verses Hillary and Michelle Obama. Remember when Hillary was un-First Lady like when she wanted to get involved in health care policy and wore pant suits? Remember when Michelle Obama was a disgrace to the First Lady position because she wore a sleeveless top and wanted help make school lunches healthier? A lot of Republican internal denial going on in regards to their potential First Lady.
Republicans, give it up. You're fools to imply Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are equals. This is not to say you have to vote for her, but at least be honest with WHAT you're voting for. Donald Trump is a disgrace on a lot of levels, but he's your disgrace. Republicans, repeat after me:
"I'm voting for a candidate, Donald Trump, who embodies many traits I find repulsive, a candidate who's in many ways very anti-Republican, but I'm doing so because I've been told to hate Hillary Clinton, even though most of the justifications for my hate are based on pure fiction!"
Then again, I'm not fooling myself. Most Republican voters will never read this. They automatically turn away when they get the faintest glimpse the man behind the curtain.
