You're right. You're absolutely right.
So why don't I feel any shame?

Wearing mouldy wigs should be a crime punishable by slapping with a wet mackerel.

Such goes on in the inexperienced abstract ... a darker imagination never seen by people counter to misogyny ... people fearing the darker sects ... Ur with shady I'z ABBA 'd roaming sensation ... a mire dream as succubus or incubus depending on how far you stray into the other halves ... !

My ever-loving brown-eyed Nanna. Yes, it's true - they each want/wanted to make things great. With Trump, it's America. With my Nanna, it was various pies.

CBC is running a story on a Canadian writer for the New Yorker who says that Trump is doing as well as he is because Americans are not nearly so ready for women's equality as they think they are.
And that is pure bunk.
If anything, being a woman running against a man with a reputation as a womanizer gives her a tremendous advantage with the women's vote. And add to that the obvious - Clinton does not seem to be suffering at all with male voters.
Media coverage of this election has been shallow and vile. I am sorry to see CBC falling into this pattern. I wonder how Wendy Mesley could allow herself to fall into this trap. She's usually a pretty savvy journalist.

Some interesting commentary from Malcolm Gladwell, who thinks Clinton's unpopularity has a lot to do with sexism.

(This is the same story Graeme mentioned, actually, and I don't think it is shallow reporting. I agree with Gladwell.)

I have seen Gladwell in action and, like most "gurus" and "futurists" he is 10' wide and .5" deep. Sorry, got to throw down with @Graeme Decarie on this one.

He's a twit. Over half the voters are women (they live longer). It is probably Trump's biggest problem that he has alienated so many women voters. If anything, I'm surprised he's held on to so many women voters - and, of course, also gets men. If the issue were sexism, Trump would be lucky to get 25% of the vote.

Kimmio - you believe Gladstone because you want to. He doesn't provide any significant evidence for his point. And then he goes off on Trump's bankruptcies - which have nothing to do with his point. Then he hits on this elite business - which also has nothing to do with it. In fact, Hillary was by no means raised in poverty. And she has become an extremely wealthy woman, a wealth entirely made up of gifts and deals with the very wealthy.
Gladstone was really doing an ad for the Democrats. This is bad logic, and dishonest journalism.
What I have seen of his 'revisionist history' is pretty shallow stuff, too. He's a type that is common in journalism, one who knows how to sell himself. I knew one like him who built a journalistic career out of kissing up to Brian Mulroney. He latched onto Mulroney as soon as Brian won the leadership. He wrote a biography of him that was largely bunkum, did many, many a column on him, and never, ever criticized anything he did. I did a TV election analysis on a panel that he was on. It was one of life's unpleasant experiences.

This needs to be seen. Trump lies out of his eyeballs, proudly, publicly, and constantly. People are supporting him as if under some spell. He does not have the temperament to be POTUS. He is sinister - it gives me shivers that he could be president. He's like some diabolical comic book character. Clinton is typical. She's a typical lawyer turned career politician - but she has the knowledge and qualifications for the job - and I believe a man in her shoes would not have been dragged through the mud as much as she has for 20 yrs had he had the same career ambitions. Trump is atypical, and not in a good way. It is frighteningly obvious to everyone but Jae and Graeme that he's a worse choice than Clinton. Trump said it himself - study what happened. Here's what happened...

His name is Gladwell. But, meh...Gladstone, Gladwell - what's the difference?
He didn't say she was raised in poverty, he said she came from a humble background (her father worked in textile manufacturing if I recall correctly) as compared with Trump (whose dad gave him a small loan of $1 million, back in the 60s, to start his career).
Trump flies around in his Trump jet opening Trump hotels, uses his foundation money to buy legal favours from an attorney general over a fraud suit pertaining to his fake "university" - sues anyone who dares criticize him, which further helps pay for his opulent lifestyle - and says there are too many elites in politics while he's campaigning for POTUS. How ass backwards is that?

Donald has been involved in over 3500 lawsuits which is more than 5 of the largest real estate developers in New York combined. He is currently involved with many lawsuits and if elected they will continue into the white house. In fact there's a good chance that if he were to be elected that people will continue to be sued by him as the President of the United States, which is not supposed to offer him any favouritism in the legal system.
I'm actually surprised that anyone wants to do business with him for fear of being sued for something. And further surprised that he is not regarded as a vexatious litigant, but then maybe what he does is par for the course for most company's, I don't know. He seems to resort to suing others as part of his business plans.

Why are so many people discussing personalities rather than issues? I could, I think, argue that Trump would make a bad president because his hair looks silly. But that surely isn't an election issue. What are the issues? Does anybody know?
