Who do you think is more Corrupt, Clinton or Trump?

Yup not even close. There was a good piece on CNN how he stiffed small business contractors doing work on his casino and then blackballed them in Atlantic city when they sued to get paid.

He and ALL of his supporters are deplorable.
 
It is a tough comparison because the Clintons have had official government power for many years. Trump has just been a business man. Morally speaking, a corrupt government official is worse than a corrupt businessman due to the difference in influence.

So as of right now I say Hillary is more corrupt than Trump. But if Trump gets into an actual position of power do I think Trump will be as corrupt as Hillary? Oh hell yeah. And likely worse.
 
because trump is a nationalist... THAT is the difference.. if he was a globalist like the big oil candidates then similar crookedness


so trump is different because of being a nationalist.... the democrats... the media and some republicans globalists are the CROOKED people

How the Trump Organization's Foreign Business Ties Could Upend U.S. National Security

This is a stretch and an obvious attempt to deflect attention from the Clinton money train that's still running from overseas to the Clinton's.

Look, I have no love at all for Trump, however, Trump has been doing legitimate and legal international business. Clinton, her husband, and their PNP have been taking bribes and pay-to-play payments from pretty bad countries and pretty bad political leaders, that have a direct impact on the US' foreign policy unlike a bunch of businesses that do business with Trump.

According to Newsweek, the Democrats, and from what I've seen this morning on CNN, there are a lot of people that feel that capitalism is an evil thing and Trump's companies, because they participate in international capitalism, are pure evil incarnate.

If having a financial tie to anyone makes a person incapable of serving in public office, there would never be anyone other than single, childless, homeless, hobo's that do not receive any assistance from anyone, or any group, or any government agency, elected to political office.
 
Both are corrupt if you are applying the definition of corrupt as being willing to act dishonestly for personal gain. Neither is worse than the other.
 
I'm not wild about either candidate. Unfortunately, for me it's the corrupt I know vs. corrupt and unpredictable. Then also, Trump is just extremely obnoxious.

Clinton and Trump make Gary Johnson look better and better. But he's a "Libertarian" dangit! A vote for him would probably help Trump.
 
Trumps "corruption" is correctable through the legal system, Hillary's is not. At least so far.

What state do you live in? Considering you're in the Pacific Northwest, there's little to no chance you're in a state at risk of supporting Trump, and don't really have to worry about your vote changing who wins. As for the popular vote, that doesn't matter for the presidential election.
 
They both disgust me in general, but Trump disgusts me a bit more.


I don't know whether it's "corrupt" or "slimey" or "lack of character", or all three. But there you have it.
 
Hillary is far more corrupt than Donald will ever be.
 
Without question and by far, Hillary is much more corrupt.
 
I would vote for ANYONE before I'd cast a vote for Hillary Clinton.

Grand Poobah of the KKK, head of the Nation of Islam, a convicted sex offender, and avowed Marxist Communist, ANYONE.

Clinton is the most disgusting critter ever to run for the presidency, and that's saying something.

Trump, while certainly not pure as the driven snow, is small potatoes in comparison to Clinton.

Is there really anything good to say about Colin Powell?

The man has played politics as far back a Vietnam and though his horse has come in a time or two he was more often than not left holding the bag.

These days the man is largely irrelevant and seeks attention where he can find it.

what you are about to see is a 3 ring circus of corruption working together and now BACKFIRING

the clintons.. colin powell and obama..... THE email leaks has exposed these corrupt goons and now they will attack each other


hillary SAID at the big dinner party of sec of states together and giving advice.. she said colin advised her there about the emails

THEN colin powell comes out and says he has no memory of that at all..... BUT BUT hillary would not say that with all those others there UNLESS she knew some would verify her account...... so this then got powell very angry... he still would not say it was a lie because he knows the others may speak up and say he did say that.. ... so now powell is threatening the clintons saying he will counter attack them with going to TRUMP on this issue

Powell should blame his OWN greedy self when he helped obama pick her as sec of state.... a 3 ring circus of corrupt agenda protecting each other....... but now we have the emails and know the fighting that has begun

Trump has a big problem with his global "empire" if he wins. How you can see him as a "nationalist" is beyond me.

Trump is in a different situation. Investments can be put into a trust that someone else controls. That's harder to do with businesses, especially since he has so many.
To truly eliminate a conflict of interest, Trump would have to sell off his businesses and put his proceeds in what's known as a double blind trust. In that arrangement, Trump would have no communication with his chief financial adviser in order to avoid any suggestion of impropriety.
"You rely on a president taking the advice of ethics lawyers to do everything possible -- including the sale of assets -- to avoid a conflict of interest," said Richard Painter, law professor at the University of Minnesota and former ethics attorney for President George W. Bush. "You want the president to keep up with appearances."
