Here is my wrap up.
Clinton is a pragmatist who is very capable and knowledgeable and experienced. I trust her on foreign affairs and I think she'll be a very moderate democrat for domestic policy. I don't think she is very honest, but her dishonesty has never really centered around any nefarious purposes in my opinion. The bit of actual dishonesty you find with Clinton has been blown up by partisan hacks into this swirling vortex of bull**** that have been on witchhunt after witchhunt. I hear constantly about how she has had dozens of people murdered, laughed at a 12 year old rape victim, has lesbian lovers, ordered a standdown for Benghazi, went to bed or slept through the Benghazi attack, only married bill so that she could mentor him into a politician so she could gain power, had Chelsea so that people would like her more for political purposes etc. etc. which is all a bunch of crap.
For Trump, his lies aren't politically motivated. They are a part of his nature. He makes it seem like it's just him having fun. He'll say Obama and Hillary founded Isis, then say of course he's joking, then say "but seriously they did". During every single debate I was able to point out half a dozen lies that were obviously lies right off the top of my head. He'll say that his assault victims are too ugly for him to touch them, then turn around and say he never said that a day later. And he's serious, not just joking around. He's mad that Hillary dared to suggest that he said what he actually said. He doesn't actually have and policy thoughts. He just says what people want to hear with no actual thought put into it. For example, he always says that we should have taken the Iraqi oil upon invading. Which is the exact narrative that the entire world was accusing us of. Coming to steal the oil. Bush spend time ensuring countries that the invasion wasn't for oil. So taking the oil would have only diminished our status in the world. Not to mention that iraqi oil is crucial in helping to set up a functioning state. If you take that away from Iraq then you leave behind a disaster and the narrative that we were just invading to steal the oil and get out of town would have been hard to deny. Not to mention, invading a country and taking it's natural resources as the spoils of war is against the geneva convention. Not to mention, he has been on both sides of the Iraq war, both sides of the Libyan conflict etc. He actually thinks that Russia is doing us a favor in Syria and they are just killing ISIS for us. I can't really find a way to state just how idiotic and dangerous he is on foreign affairs. He has held all of the following positions on the syria conflict, just in the short time of running for POTUS: we shouldn't send in ground troops at all, we have to send in ground troops to the tune of 20,000 or 30,000 we have no choice, we should just sit back and let Russia handle it because they are taking care of it for us, we can go in and establish safe zones, we can only provide monetary support for safe zones and other countries around syria will have to provide man power for safe zones cause we aren't doing it. Those have all been positions he has held. Which tells us one thing, that he has no clue what's going on or even who our allies are or our interests lie with. When you combine this level of ignorance with his uncontrollable temper you create one of the most dangerous candidates possible. He eats up misinformation. He'll gladly base policy off of something he heard on the internet or in a magazine. He doesn't trust US intelligence to any level. He simply can't be president.
