Trump seems to be in much better health.  Hillary seems to be a mess healthwise.  I actually felt bad for her when I watched that video.  Damnit.

Campaigning can be grueling at any age, but there's only one candidate doing it.  Trump doesn't really campaign. :lol: He rarely does any stops on the weekends, and he flies back to New York and sleeps in his own bed every night.

Don't you find it odd that during the four years she was in office, she used 13 different mobile devices (not counting 5 iPads), some of them in parallel, to read work emails?

Seriously?
In 4 years, I've used 3 mobile phones, 3 ipads, and 2 surface tablets.  Plus a fire tablet (but that was never set up for work).  At any time 2-3 in parallel set up for work stuff.

Yes, as you say you used 3 mobile phones. She used 13.

Trunp bragging that his tower is now the tallest after 9/11

That's kinda bullshit...at least calling it a "brag".  It is more like the linked article says, that he "notes" it...and said notation, in the context of the conversation, was quite benign.  The rest of the text of that article, as written, is a plainly hyperbolic, and lame attempt at a hit-piece to bash Trump in regards to 9/11.

Brag might be a bit strong but I think there is something negative to be said about that being his response. 1) It wasn't even an answer to the question, 2) It seems incredibly insensitive, however I'll give a push on that one as it was an emotional day.

Who cares? The Clinton dynasty has clearly lost the Mandate of Heaven.

Hillary Clinton has gained trait: Incapable.

He does ramble quite a bit, especially lots of the "hey, did you know"'s.  Many of them, as have been shown at this campaign rallies, are inane and obnoxious...but not "ghoulish" and "eerie" as that article tries to paint things.

Martinus

Yeah. "Trump rambles as he fails to answer the question" is not as much of news, though.

I don't know. Just because he has a habit of self-aggrandisement and an inability to stay focused on a topic, that doesn't mean we should get out some special ruler with which to assess his statements. I think the comments were inappropriate but as I mentioned, I'm willing to give everyone a push on statements at that time as it was a highly emotional time. No one was nicely polished.

Also, it wasn't a very significant statement, one that was made 15 years ago, so yeah I'd rather we not spend time trying to attack him on that. He has said enough truly reprehensible things this year.

When I first saw the video yesterday I thought it was a hoax.  Did not help that I first saw it in an infowars article posted by a very pro-Trump FB friend.
