    Why would it be awkward? She was talking about how her and Barack had to manage their time during the first presidential campaign as to not neglect their 2, at the time, young daughters.

    I don't understand how he has so much support. Do people actually believe he would make a good president or are people that against Hillary Clinton?

    It's a double standard! As a liberal I'm sure you are very familiar with that!

    Oh my gosh we condemn Trump for saying the election is rigged.

    Democrats 2000-It's rigged
    Democrats 2008- it's rigged
    Democrats 2012- it's rigged

    It's awkward because she's saying Hilary can't handle her husband so she's unfit for presidency.

    Now she's backing her for presidency. Hypocrite.

    That's not what she said, yet you stick to the story? Why must you choose to damage your own mind to such level?

    Actually I don't take advantage of every tax loophole. I use Turbotax to do my taxes and there are several deductions that I don't take advantage. Now I probably could pay for a CPA to do my taxes and they could probably find many deductions, I've used one before and they did find a lot, but that ends up meanig that I pay the CPA money that would've gone to taxes. I don't feel that my taxes are burdensome or unfair so I have no problem that some of my money is going to the government rather than a tax professional.

    Anyway I'm not a billionaire and / or running for president so my own example isn't relevant but you brought it up. As for billionaires Warren Buffet, who if you worship at the alter of plutocracy is much richer than Trump, doesn't take advantage of the loopholes such as carried interest that Trump claims he does. Trump isn't forced to take these loopholes. Further as Trumps' business is privately held he isn't even obligated to stockholders and certainly not for his private taxes. If he felt these loopholes were unethical he could've easily not used them.

    You're making the assumption that he's capable of being embarrassed by any of this. He's only doing what he's told to do and post the articles that he's told to post. He doesn't care where they came from.

    more flip-flopping, but to be fair, he made these comments all the way back in 2012 when he was a pro-choice clinton supporter. further proof that all his supporters are being conned.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/trump-2012-immigration/

    Trump in 2012 on deporting many undocumented immigrants: 'I don't believe in that'

    (CNN)Just four years ago, Donald Trump took a drastically different position on what is now his central issue: deporting undocumented immigrants in the United States.

    Since he announced his candidacy last June, Trump has promised to build a wall on the US border with Mexico and at various times said he would, as president, deport all or many of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country. However, in an June 2012 interview with CNBC's Squawk Box reviewed by CNN's KFile, Trump said he didn't believe in deporting undocumented immigrants who, he said, "had done a great job."
    Asked about his views on immigrant labor, Trump said, "You know my views on it and I'm not necessarily, I think I'm probably down the middle on that also. Because I also understand how, as an example, you have people in this country for 20 years, they've done a great job, they've done wonderfully, they've gone to school, they've gotten good marks, they're productive — now we're supposed to send them out of the country, I don't believe in that, Michelle, and you understand that. I don't believe in a lot things that are being said."

    Trump's comments came in the context of a discussion of the Supreme Court's decision a day before on the state of Arizona's tough immigration law. Trump said "both sides lost" in the ruling, which struck down key parts of the law but upheld a part of the law allowing law enforcement to check the immigration status of a person when enforcing other laws.
    A Trump campaign spokesperson did not return a request for comment.
    Trump kicked off his campaign in June 2015 by calling some of the undocumented immigrants from Mexico "rapists."
    "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump said.
    "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
    In a speech in September laying out his immigration plan, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to building a wall on the US southern border and deporting undocumented immigrants with a criminal background. Trump did not specify in his speech what he would do with those that remain in the country, but did say undocumented immigrants seeking legal status would have to first leave the country.
    "For those here today illegally who are seeking legal status, they will have one route and only one route: to return home and apply for re-entry under the rules of the new legal immigration system," Trump said.

    In most rational circles, 'taking care of your family' usually entails raising your children well and last time I checked Chelsea Clinton is doing fine.

    Trump's tweets are getting really desperate.

    You can read the words all you want but watch the video. It's obvious what she implied!

    Have you guys taken a look at the Rasmussen and IBD/TIPP tracking polls? Some high comedy there. Among other things they're projecting Trump to get ~15% of the African-American vote.
