More like two turds in a punch bowl. Each shouting that the other stinks and is spoiling the punch.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

It's coming down to temperament for me for these two running for POTUS.
Donald Trump trashes our military every other day. The days he doesn't, he's praising them. Same with our law enforcement: One day he likes them, the next day he doesn't. Also, Trump's favorable words for Putin simply because Putin "says nice things" about Trump is beyond the pale.
Yes, Hillary is no prize. She lies (...as does Donald Trump - he even more so, in my opinion). She's secretive. She's a war hawk. But one of them is going to be President and with Hillary I know the Devil that I'm getting. With Trump, I don't know which Trump will show up to work on any given day given that he's been on both sides of every issue.
Contrarian, extraordinaire

Well Clinton was Secretary of State, Americas top diplomat. A diplomat who always told the truth would be a disaster! A diplomat certainly has to keep secrets. Her whole email scandal is maybe she didn't keep secrets. Likewise, a diplomat who didn't back up situations with a consideration of using force would be a pushover. Other countries and NGOs would just walk all over us.
So you have more or less described her qualifications for being President.
We DID have a President who was exceptionally honest about everything, and really disliked secrets. His name was Jimmy Carter.

![[Linked Image from s9.postimg.org]](http://s9.postimg.org/ebimk1xrj/Brandeis.png) Justice William O. Douglas wrote, "Brandeis was a militant crusader for social justice whoever his opponent might be. He was dangerous not only because of his brilliance, his arithmetic, his courage. He was dangerous because he was incorruptible. . . [and] the fears of the Establishment were greater because Brandeis was the first Jew to be named to the Court." On June 1, 1916 he was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 47 to 22, to become one of the most famous and influential figures ever to serve on the high court. His opinions were, according to legal scholars, some of the "greatest defenses" of freedom of speech and the right to privacy ever written by a member of the Supreme Court.

In general, I have great admiration for a race that requires every man to be able to read and intelligently discuss their founding documents.
I am not too happy with their treatment of Palestinians, but 4000 years of honoring education and literacy means something.

I am not too happy with their treatment of Palestinians, ... There are plenty, and I do mean plenty of Jews here and in Israel who would love to see Netanyahu run out on a rail. Another right wing fascist who uses fear to remain in power. You'd think he would be disgusted at using the same tactic that Hitler used.
