    Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton certainly do. As fundamentally wrong and as discouraging as this is, this deep-seated lack of character is apparently a required trait for someone to be successful at the highest levels of American politics these days.

    All three of these despicable characters clearly distinguish themselves on this score. These are clearly dark days for our country, there is no question about it.

    Do you think Ronald Reagan ever lied? What about George Washington? Nostalgia isn't anywhere as nice as reality.

    Every adult human being has lied. But as you know very well, that is not what people mean when they refer to someone as a habitual, or even a pathological liar, as is the case with Trump, Obama and Clinton.

    Reagan had his faults, as literally every human being does. But being a habitual liar was not one of them.

    Give me some explicit evidence that Obama is a 'habitual liar' more so than any previous president such as Reagan?

    Good luck... No 'gut' feelings here. Evidence is necessary.

    I don't think a presidential candidate should use the platform granted to them meant to inform the American people as an opportunity to conduct an infomercial for his Hotel.

    What's disturbing is all the people crying foul over the Clinton Foundation don't see the problem with this.

    Good. As biased as the media, and in particular CNN, has been towards him, I'm glad he took this chance to screw with them. Serves them right.

    Dark days? Do you want to go back to the 1700s? 1800s? early 1900s? How about right before Obama took office. Want to go back to that day?

    You are full of delusion. But I see that you continue to spew garbage about Obama being the same liar as Trump. You ignored the below and repeat the same garbage.

    I give you something... If Trump is elected, there is a good chance we will see some dark days afterward.

    I wonder how many Trump business interests will be promoted during his State of the Union address

    Nevermind the loaded question but how come it's so far from the topic at hand?

    He was talking about CNN's portrayal of Trump, which has been unfair, and Trump deservedly getting back. Then you spin it into Trump screwing with the country?

    Way to use logical fallacies.

    What difference does it make where he was born... His mom is a US citizen, so he's a US citizen...

    The whole birther thing is just plain stupid...

    My point was that Trump is a petty, vengeful *******, and he will not hesitate to screw over anyone he perceives as an enemy no matter the harm to our country. I don't particularly care about CNN, but this is a pretty good example of his character flaws.

    I love anytime the media is made to look like fools. They are so full of themselves and they no longer are journalist with integrity. They are headline chasing, ratings chasing, money chasing, biased organizations. Today they proved that fact by falling for it and then getting upset when they did trying to blame others. They need to look in the mirror.

    Petty, vengeful, *******? That sounds kind of like our current president.

    Have you observed all the ways he has screwed Texas over during his two terms?

    The primary "screwers of Texas" for the last twenty years have been our very own governor's, AG's, wingnutter legislators and the people who have voted for them.

    Texas seems to be doing pretty well. It is a primary landing spot for refugees from all the areas of the country where liberal policies have demolished their economies and turned their cities into war zones.
