Donald Trump (PRO) VS Hillary Clinton (CON)

I apologize, I forgot to include my sources in the previous round. I will include them here. SOURCES: https://www.donaldjtrump.com... https://www.donaldjtrump.com... http://www.nytimes.com... http://latino.foxnews.com... Now for a rebuttal to your arguments: "Clinton has experience with public office and knows what she is doing. Trump on the other hand is a business leader who has exploited and conned people for his own gain." And what has she done with her time in public office? Her campaign website lists seven of her 'biggest' accomplishments. Let's take a closer look at them. 1. Fought for children and families for 40 years and counting. Really? What about the time she defended the rapist of a twelve year old girl and then laughed when discussing how he got off without any charges? Is she not one of those children? What about the LGBT families she was against in 2004, when she gave a speech in opposition of same-sex marriage? Or when she declared in Albany that New York should not recognize same-sex couples? I suppose they don't count as families either? What about the unborn child, who she recently declared does not have constitutional rights (whether you agree or not)? The point is, Hillary only fights for women and children when it helps her and makes her look good - very similar to what you called Trump out for ("exploited and conned people for his own gain"). 2. Helped provide millions of children with healthcare. I don't think so. Ever heard of CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program)? Hillary gives herself credit for it, yet the Clinton Administration was originally against it. Furthermore, she had no role in writing the legislation and it is said that she 'may' have advocated for it in the White House, but that's about it. The real credit goes to Sen. Ted Kennedy. Sounds like she's conning the public by exploiting Kennedy's accomplishment. 3. Helped get 9/11 first responders the healthcare they needed. Probably the most semi-honest accomplishment! She 'helped' get them healthcare, keyword there is 'helped' because she didn't have all that much to do with it. The legislation passed long after she left the Senate. Once again, exploiting someone else's accomplishment and conning the public. 4. Told the world that "women's rights are human rights". In other words, she gave a speech. You can only really count it as an accomplishment if what she advocated for took place afterwards. For example, Kennedy is given some credit for the moon landing because he gave a speech about sending a man to the moon, and Reagan is given some credit for the Berlin wall being brought down because he gave a speech urging Gorbachev to tear it down. After Hillary gave that speech in Beijing, two activists were punished and women's reproductive rights did not improve; things like forced abortions for population control continued. 5. Stood up for LGBT rights. Like I said before, she was originally against same-sex marriage, she claimed that New York should not recognize it, and during her 2008 campaign, she only fought for same-sex civil unions rather then marriage. It surely appears that on issues like LGBT rights, she only sides with whichever view is most popular for her own gain. She's conning us and the LGBT community. 6. Helped expand healthcare and family leave to military families. Another semi-honest one! She 'helped' the military families? Name one senator who hasn't claimed to do the same. 7. Negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Yes, she ended a week-long conflict. But what about how she destroyed Libya? What about when she was criminally negligent and lied about Benghazi? What about when she did NOT reset relations with Russia as she promised with a misspelled present to the Russian foreign minister? You claim that Trump has conned people and exploited them for his own gain. I'll admit that there is some truth in that, like the Trump University lawsuit; but Clinton has her fair share of exploiting and conning others. "The rest of the world will not take us seriously if we elect Trump." Really? Vladimir Putin said, according to the Hill, said that Donald Trump is "a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt... he's the absolute leader in the presidential race". A Russian newspaper says Trump is "anti-mainstream and self-confident", and that he doesn't "feel constrained by political correctness". "Trump has criticized free trade deals such as NAFTA, which helped our economy." So has Hillary. When she ran for Senate, she said NAFTA was "flawed". In 2008, her campaign website said that NAFTA "has not lived up to its promises". "[Trump] wants to ban Muslims from the country which will not help combat terrorism contrary to what he thinks." Trump's idea of a Muslim ban has changed from when he announced it to now. The ban now applies to countries where terrorists have a large influence over the population. When asked if he would allow Scottish Muslims to legally immigrate here, he replied "it wouldn't bother me". Look at what happened to Europe after they let Syrian refugees in and tell me that won't happen if we let them in - which Hillary supports. It would seem Hillary's plan would be more of a security threat than Trump's plan. "Clinton is the practical sensible choice." But a lot of the things you said about Trump either apply to Clinton or are only partial truths. You said Clinton has more experience, but she has not done anything especially substantial (or positive, I should say) with her time in various offices. You accused Trump of exploiting and conning others, yet Clinton has done the same. You brought up Trump's criticism of NAFTA, when Hillary has criticized it more and more ever since it was passed in 1993. You claimed the Muslim ban will not combat terrorism, yet it is far superior to Clinton's plan to allow refugees from Syria into the United States.
