I guess that is where we would disagree. Trump says some dumb things , he stretches the truth, he lies, and sometimes he is out of his league. But I don't believe for a minute that he is this monster that Pravda, oops I mean CNN/MSNBC/NYT/WP makes him out to be. For me Trump needs to cross a certain line to be that monster. Trump has yet to weaponize the IRS, the FBI and the DOJ to surveil and attack his political opponents. So far he only uses Twitter. I'm OK with that.

As for Clinton. Well here's a person who was extremely careless with top secret information for a personal gain. She had that private server for only one reason. Pay to play and the Clinton Foundation. The missing 30,000 emails would tell that story. The question is, would that behavior have continued at the White House? I'm going to say yes and probably ramped up. After all .... she'd be the President. She'd have Comey, Brennen, Clapper etc. to watch her back. It would be corruption on steroids.
