like him(which is to say a rwinger) be singing the praises of the Obamas. His fellow rw pundits must be cringing.

12. To be fair, in 2012 the race was closer because the Republican nominee at least had a passing

similarity to a human being. We thought he was pretty odious at the time of course, and he was. But he looks almost appealing compared to Trump.

17. To be fair, I truly dislike posts that say Hillary is winning

only because of whom she is running against. It is untrue. None of the GOP worthless candidates could have beaten Hillary. The Gop starts deep in the hole every presidential election...as the country become more and more diversified. I am a proud supporter of Hillary and will cast my vote for her ...the first woman president...not against Donald Trump.

So, he's finally right about something.

I am in early mourning missing the Obamas. I love Mr. President, but Michelle Obama is the epitome of class.

10. And Trump is one of the worst.

He has a limited vocabulary. He uses the same phrases and sentence structure every time he speaks.

If you listen (or I suggest read his comments, his voice is so annoying) you will see redundant phrases that go beyond campaign rhetoric. He clearly does not read much. If you do not read you do not learn. He has such a limited vocabulary of adjectives in particular. If you can stand to do it, analyze his statements and speeches.

We had solar panels installed this week. The guys who did the work had many skills, construction, electrical, and troubleshooting equipment they used. They both had greater vocabulary than Donald J. Trump.

15. I noticed that too, and he extends the length of his speches by repeating phrases . . .

over and over, probably because he doesn't have much real policy to talk about, and probably he knows that repeating things re-enforces the thought in his viewers minds.

Sorta like "crooked Hillary, crooked Hillary, crooked Hillary".

Sorta like Goebbel's big lie technique, repeat it over and over and over and many will believe.
