If the Trump Organization or Trump campaign is currently associated with any decent people, Trump must be hiding them from the media.

Because every single one of his friends, business associates, and political advisers seems like a con artist, a moron, a thug, or some combination thereof.

Clinton's neoliberal corruption centers on transforming a democratic political system into a plutocracy serving corporate interests whereas Trump's overt corruption is premised upon the notion that the federal government and the republic itself exists only to satisfy his appetites. Clinton's privatization of the public sphere has set the stage for the ascent of a politician like Trump who implicitly denies the existence of the public interest and amounts to nothing more than an incarnation of Hobbes' Leviathan.

Why can't Nas and long time guy provide such easy answers to why we should vote for Hillary Clinton?

Well, can't be as bad as W Wilson or FDR. I will think the only place we might see a large amount of overt corruption is ambassadorship. His picks for Def and State will be interesting. As to his ban on Muslims he can do it without congress approval. Carter did it before. All he has to do is instruct State to not issue Visas to people from a specific nation. Carter did it to Iran after they took the embassy.
I could see Ivanka as either Heath and Human Services or HUD. Two key ones for a tone are VA and Home Sec

No, it would just be all the leftover ghouls from the Bush Administration.

Yes, what a mistake WWII was. If FDR wasn't in office we would have probably had Hirohito and Hitler over for easter brunch in the rose garden.

Hopefully he b*tchslaps Obama's proposed increase of refugee acceptance to 110,000 in 2017. Just what we need to be spending our taxpayer money on, housing and aiding refugees from Syria.

The United States has more of a responsibility to take in refugees than European nation-states do.

In the first one yeah my great grandfathers where fighting there. Second one no, my uncles fought for the good guys.

If you look into how we got involved into both of them you will see both of those guys where pulling some really underhanded shit.
We had every moral right to get involved but don't keep laboring under the delusion that FDr and Wilson where lily white boyscouts.

Do people think Wilson was a boy scout? I think his faults have been pretty well documented.
