To my fellow Americans: come on in, the water is fine.

"She said America must be a leader in the world, “because when America fails to lead, we leave a vacuum.”
Right, guess the world is such a peaceful place because of the great American leadership exhibited by Obama with the help of Hillary Clinton (she was Secretary of State for a time, wasn't she?) I cannot recall when America showed any leadership in recent years, unless maybe it was when Obama was drawing his "lines in the sand" in Syria - you know, the ones that shifted all the time like the desert sands in a windstorm? Or maybe when he capitulated to Iran and Cuba. I suppose that is what passes for "leadership" nowadays.
Clinton always makes statements like that, they have no substance at all, just good soundbites for the liberal media. Empty talk, empty promises, generalities, no policies at all. Oh well, if Americans were dumb enough to elect Obama (twice) they are dumb enough to elect Clinton too. Not likely Trump would be much better, but at least he might try to get rid of some of the corruption in Washington.

How many of them questioned you about Benghazi ? Talk about THAT at all ?

Take a moment. Let's look back at the Clinton administration. I remember a balanced budget. I remember Hilary trying to get a health plan passed. That doesn't sound like evil intentions. I remember Karl Rove. Nothing but attack dogs the whole time. Years of it. For what? You know what Europe thought of it? So, follow the money. It will always lead you to the right answer.

Favorable or unfavorable view of Hilary she is the voice of reason as compared to Donald the voice of anger. Donald does not have a clue as to foreign policy, the economy, and international trade. Donald is akin to a loud mouth used car salesman, no substance all mouth service and his nose up Putin's rear.

A lot of people on both sides will be holding their noses while they are voting this year.
Hillary's historically-low approval rating saved only by Trump also being in the race.

"Portraying a vote for her as a patriotic act,"
Har!
"Dozens of empty seats at a small ballroom while Trumps getting 8000+ filling arenas. She doesn't have a chance unless Obama uses his Homeland Security team to take over from the States the election process."
Yeah, but she still leads in all the polls, lol

Oooo, you have a new word PT. Did you think of that all by yourself? I didn't think so. The corrupt MSM has been pulling a lot of overtime these days.
So, would you like to share some examples of this "alt right media" you speak of?
Serrano
This is interesting: "Comparing the immigration policies of Trump and Clinton" ( Fox News )
PTownsend
Sources like toprightnews, inforwars, trunews, The New American, impeachobama.org., Breitbart, Daily Stormer, The Right Stuff, VDare, FOXentertainment, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Glen Beck among dozens of others provide rightists of all types with fodder made up of outright lies and questionable facts nicked, packaged and spun to feed their anger and make them believe that some evil cabal is out to get them.
It's interesting how rich and powerful these media sources have got off their mutating niche. The alt right are like the evangelical televangelists in their ability to sucker in and prey on the poorly educated and angry.
Why does a white nationalist use a Native American as an avatar? To remind the world that Anglo-Americans helped destroy their cultures?
FizzBit
Thanks PT, but I don't listen to or read anyone of those you've mentioned, and some I've never heard of. Is it possible you're focusing to much on these labels and news organizations and not enough actual listening to what the independents are saying?
White nationalist??? Now you're just name calling. I'm part Native American, love Native American history, married to a non-white, have had black and Latino room mates and friends......Pa...Lease!

What on Earth is an Alt Right?

Dip your toe ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right
(wikipedia) Alternative Right: ... is an Identitarian website created by Richard Spencer and Colin Liddell ...
(wikipedia) Identitarian: The Identitarian movement is a pan-European socio-political movement that started in France in 2002 as a far-right youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite Génération Identitaire. Initially the youth wing of the anti-immigrant, far-right Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity ...

And previously mentioned you're a recovering progressive. But on these pages and throughout the internet I've read people identify themselves in many ways. I've read a poster here who claims he's been a CEO, a big time journalist, rubs shoulders with the rich and famous in music and politics, a victor in a knife fight, had secret assignments in Iraq, has lived all over the US and my favorite - lives in Kyushu and drives by Compton every day, among other tales. I give two monkey's what people say they want others to believe about who they are, instead read what they write and employ the it's-a-duck principle.
