Trump is a better candidate than Clinton for President

Pro says that Hillary Clinton lies. Many presidential candidates have lied, including Donald Trump. Trump lies every 5 minutes over 4.5 hours of speeches and press conferences. http://www.politico.com... Trump not only gets things wrong, but states blatant mistruths. For example he said Paul Ryan called to congratulate him after his victory in the New York primary, announcing a significant political event that in fact did not happen. He touts statistics like a 20% unemployment rate in Wisconsin that does not exist, etc. http://www.nationalreview.com... As you can see, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump lie, as do most politicians which is a fact backed by science. http://www.usnews.com... Donald Trump is considered one of the biggest liars of the 2016 candidates, along with Ben Carson. http://www.rollingstone.com... Politicians lie more than most people, because their entire job is based on appealing to people and getting elected in the first place. Once they are elected, they must leverage relationships in order to implement policy. Hillary Clinton knows how to persuade people and say what they want to hear, which is the mark of a good politician. Donald Trump is about boosting his own ego, and not caring about other people's sensitivities or perspectives, which may sound good in theory but does not make for good/successful politics. Pro talks about Hillary exaggerating a scene at the airport, possibly exaggerating how she bought her home, and her ancestry, but none of these are worse than Donald's lies and exaggerations. Pro mentions the Benghazi e-mail scandal. American presidents are shrouded in scandal, and some of our "best" presidents like Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Grant and even Jackson had their own. http://americanhistory.about.com... I will be arguing that this scandal is not a big deal in comparison to other points in Hillary's favor over Trump. Donald Trump is no stranger to scandal, and has had dozens of his own. http://www.theatlantic.com... Some of Trump's scandals include discrimination lawsuits, and Trump University which has been called a "massive scam." http://www.nationalreview.com... Now as for my arguments on why Hillary Clinton would make a better president than Donald Trump. First, Hillary Clinton has way more political experience than Trump. Politics is not just about being right but winning people over and getting meaningful, positive legislation enacted in a way that benefits the country. In a court of law it doesn't matter what is true but what you can prove. In politics it doesn't matter what is right but what righteous things you actually get done. Hillary Clinton got started in elective office in 200. She has served as an elected official for a total of 8 years. United States Secretary of State, 2009-2013 Sworn In, United States Secretary of State, January 21, 2009 Senator, United States Senate, 2001-2009 Candidate, United States President, 2008 First Lady, President Bill Clinton, 1993-2001 First Lady, State of Arkansas, 1979-1981, 1983-1992 http://presidential-candidates.insidegov.com... Compare this to Trump's political experience which is none, and his business success can be attributed to his rich father who provided him with opportunities. He didn't rise to the top through prestige but an advantageous family situation. He has had several failed business endeavors and multiple bankruptcies, so he is not the perfect businessman he claims to be. "Donald Trump is epically unprepared to be president. He has no realistic policies, no advisers, no capacity to learn. His vast narcissism makes him a closed fortress. He doesn"t know what he doesn"t know and he"s uninterested in finding out. He insults the office Abraham Lincoln once occupied by running for it with less preparation than most of us would undertake to buy a sofa. . . . He is a childish man running for a job that requires maturity." -- David Brooks http://www.nationalreview.com... Both Clinton and Trump have flip flopped, for instance Donald was pro-choice and now he is pro-life, and Clinton was against gay marriage and now she is for it. So let's look at the policy these people might influence and change going forward. Trump is for expanding the military which is very unnecessary and would be a massive waste of tax payer money. He says it would be his first priority of business. http://www.nydailynews.com... But our military is huge and needs to be reduced in size and scope. http://www.huffingtonpost.com... Donald Trump also wants to build a wall, which would be expensive and bad for trade and freedom. Hillary Clinton supports a woman's right to choose, the freedom of gay people to get married, and responsible gun ownership. While Donald Trump claims that she wants to overturn the 2nd amendment, that is not true, as she simply favors more strict background checks. This is good for society because it lets people own guns but only the right kind of people we know won't be likely to abuse the privilege. http://www.npr.org...
