    Trump is a liar, too. So what?

    It bugs me to no end that he's maybe lied about what's gone on in the civil cases against him.

    His lies, though, don't rise to the level of getting a US ambassador killed or covering up for it, or other incompetence at governing.

    Yeah, you are saying the polls are skewed. The polls don't reflect the "reality" that you claim.

    Well I don't blame the Secretary of State for the death of the ambassador. He had a dangerous posting and his death was tragic...to use it as spin ammo against the Obama cabinet is wrong in my view. Many, many US officials, journalists, tourists and soldiers have died because of these type circumstances. The country continues to move on and has made it's fair share of blunders and tactical errors...shit happens. Trump, I guarantee has never been in harms way in defense of our country

    That's why they're skewed...the opposition opinion can always find a poll to support its position...door swings both ways

    The world is a dangerous place, indeed. We rarely lose ambassadors. The last one killed before this one was during the Carter administration (talk about incompetence).

    So you're saying they're skewed.

    OK.

    Sure they do. Add up the states where Clinton is ahead in the polls. Add up the states where Trump is ahead in the polls. The result is a landslide. There are NO Obama states where Trump leads.

    No, 'close' does not count.

    And what about Beirut under Reagan? The ambassador didn't die, but only by luck - he was there at the time, and sixty-some non-ambassador people died around him. Talk about incompetence.

    Trump has pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn marriage equality.

    Had I no other reason for voting against him that would be enough.

    Really? Because I think this is literally the first time you've mentioned it.

    That's a big advantage of having no relevant experience, I guess.

    Silly me, I thought that all he had said was that he would strongly consider it, and that primarily to try to appeal to the religious right.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/tru...lity-id-appoint-judges-who-would-overturn-it/

    I seriously doubt that he even cares about same-sex marriage.

    I am going by what he said 2 weeks ago at "Faith and Freedom" conference.

    Oh well, just strongly consider taking away my rights? Well, shit, I should be just fine with that! As long as he doesn't absolutely guarantee it!

    Within the margin of error means nobody is ahead. There are at least 4 Obama states in which Hiliar isn't ahead.

    No, it's not the first time I mentioned it.

    I posted about how he was sued by the government for violation of the civil rights act, denying housing to blacks in the 70s.

    Ross Perot told this story. "A blue collar bank robber (Trump) goes and robs banks the old fashioned way, one at a time. The white collar ones (Hiliar) robs multiple (or all) the banks at once."

    Trump never overthrew Libya. Where there is relevant experience, I want no part of it.

    Not suggesting that you are a FOX lover and think they are unbiased. Just saying your premise of news outlets should be unbiased is idealistic and no longer applies to modern news. FOX is the poster child for this blueprint and their slogan of "fair and unbiased" struck me as ironic so felt compelled to use them as an example.

    If a station claims to be the most trusted leader in news (CNN), it should not be biased. Fox claims to balance against left wing media bias of other outlets, not that it is unbiased.

    No, that isn't what within the margin of error means. It doesn't mean the race is a tie, or that nobody is ahead, or that the probability is 50/50. It doesn't mean that any outcome within +/- the margin of error is equally likely.

    It means that the poll can be in error, meaning Hiliar might be behind in those polls, or a tie. You're wrong on so many levels. On this too!

    https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/support/polling-fundamentals-total-survey-error/

    Sampling Error is the calculated statistical imprecision due to interviewing a random sample instead of the entire population. The margin of error provides an estimate of how much the results of the sample may differ due to chance when compared to what would have been found if the entire population was interviewed.
