    What is this, a convention? Ask fchowd for the links - I've given them to him in the past.

    I've never seen you use direct quotes to justify any assertion about Obama or Hillary being 'divisive' except "Treyvon could have been my son".

    Again, if it's so easily identifiable and so obvious, you ought to be able to find quotes easily.

    Can you point to the thread where you provided direct quotes?

    Please, just like Sweet Lou. I've given you the links, and just to let you know she gave the same interview to CBS that she gave to PBS Newshour.

    So you made an assertion correct? That assertion is that Hillary is 'divisive'. You can reference me to an entire speech or interview but you have to provide me the exact statement where you merit her being labeled 'divisive'. You have to point out an explicit quote so we have an objective starting point to debate from.

    I need to know your point of contention if you want a legitmate debate but it seems like you just want to bark vague platitudes and have skeptical individual just accept them.

    Check out the synonyms in a thesaurus. Chestnut, boilerplate, bromide, cliche, prosaicism, etc. Like I said, if you feel it fits the meaning, keep on using it. I don't think you are using it correctly, you can care or not.
    BTW, here is Clinton talking about violence being directed against American embassies based on youtube video.

    The links are in earlier pages of this thread and a simple google search will reveal them. Additionally, actual video of Trump saying these things is readily online. Anyone asking for quotes is just being obtuse. The evidence is there and after so many of us have already provided it, we aren't required to provide them again 10 pages later because somebody just dropped in on the conversation. Google is our friend.

    I challenge them to link to video and quotes and argue Trump isn't reckless and incendiary. This is a wild election and Trump has taken things too far past reasonable contention to outside the bounds of civility.

    I have one resume here for Donald Trump, I have one resume here for Hillary Clinton, and I've chosen this resume," Gutierrez said, indicating Clinton. "I think this person, Hillary Clinton, is the best for the country. I'm not thinking about (it as) a Republican, I'm thinking about (it as) a US citizen. I think at some point, you have to put the party aside and say what's best for the country? I don't want to live in a society that I think Donald Trump will create."

    No one should vote for Trump because he changed his stands on some issues. So Hillary it is..... oh wait.

    Yeah that was good...

    Trump is an entertainer and he says what he says depending on his audience.

    LOL "some issues" that's hilarious. Anyway, it would make sense that Trump would share some traits with Hillary...he was her biggest supporter until he decided to completely reverse his position on every stance he ever took and run against her.

    I've been waiting for someone to put this video together -- people can change their views on certain positions, but for a man to be a solid democrat all his life and completely change his opinion on every position and become a republican over the span of a decade is just bizarre.

    It wasn't even a full decade, he was a registered Democrat and huge Hillary supporter just 8 years ago.

    I'm not sure about that, I think he's just a con man, but he certainly is the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic party this election cycle. Hillary would be really struggling against a legitimate opponent but since that opponent is Trump, nothing she does wrong matters because he's worse.
