4th DDO Census Debate: Trump v Clinton

The 2016 election has become one of the most interesting in recent memory. While the Republicans have nominated a charismatic outsider, the Democrats have nominated a corrupt career politican. The choice seems obvious and I will attempt to prove it. EconomyDonald Trump is running on a campaign of economic realism and pragmatism centered around bringing American jobs back, in contrast to the far-left dogma of Hillary Clinton to expand globalism and allow other countries to steal out jobs. Trump's tax plan simplifies the tax code, establishing four new brackets of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 25%, eliminates the net investment income surtax, lowers the highest corporate tax rate to 15%, and abolishes the death tax. [1] According to the Tax Foundation, this plan would result in 11 percent higher GDP growth, 6.5% higher wages, and 5.3 million more full-time equivalent jobs. [2] On trade, Trump has proposed re-negotiating trade deals, in particular NAFTA, a disastorous trade agreement signed by Bill Clinton that resulted in the loss of over 850,000 jobs. [3] Trump opposes the TPP, which has already resulted in over 100,000 jobs lost in Ohio alone. [4] Trump has also proposed changes to our visa policies, such as increasing the prevailing wage for H1B visas and requiring companies to hire American workers first. [5] Trump is the only candidate with a plan to fix inner-city poverty (replacing a visa for foreign workers with a job bank for inner-city youth) as well as to provide safe homes for parentless children. [5] Trump is not dogmatic economically; he is willing to negotiate. Trump is open to plans that might help American workers, such as a minimum wage increase,[6] as well as slight tax increases on the wealthy as part of an overall tax deal. [6] This is a key strength of the Trump campaign: a willingness to work with others and compromise for the greater good. This is something that Hillary Clinton cannot do - she was among the most liberal senators during her term, more liberal than even our current president, and she ranks on OnTheIssues as liberal as fake Indian Elizabeth Warren and only slightly less liberal than communist Bernie Sanders. [7] Trump is the only candidate willing to work with both sides on the economy to protect American workers. Foreign policyPossibly the strongest difference between Trump and Clinton is on foreign policy. Trump's foreign policy plan is simple: we aren't the world's policeman. It's time we focus on our interests and stop trying to run the world. Hillary Clinton, as Obama's Secretary of State, will continue his failed policies and head us well into our 13th year of unstopped war. Trump opposed the Iraq War, while Clinton voted for it. Trump opposed the Iran deal; Clinton supported it. Clinton's failures on foreign policy are so massive she has no grounds to attack any Trump policy. [8] Trump didn't, for instance, leave four Americans to die in Benghazi. He didn't use a private email server, in violation of federal law and leaving emails open to hacking from our enemies. Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump, he never gloated over the rape-murder of a foreign leader. [8] Trump stands for an end to endless war. Clinton stands for more of the same. Her reckless policies will continue the mistakes of Iraq and lead to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of deaths. CorruptionIt's become very apparent through the public lives of the Clintons that they have achieved an impressive list of scandals. WMD. com lists 22 scandals:[9]1) Bill Clinton's abuse of the IRS to target political enemies.2) Bill Clinton's hiring PIs to intimidate potential informants3) Clinton's looting the White House upon leaving, including reportedly selling off taxpayer-funded goods.4) Filegate, when the Clinton's illegally used to FBI to dig dirt up on their enemies.5) Huma Abedin's link to the Muslim Brotherhood6) Vince Foster's murder7) Emailgate8) Chinagate, when tech companies donated millions to the Clintons to get permission to sell secrets to China.9) Travelgate, where the Clintons fired White House staff to install cronies10) Whitewater11) Sniper fire in bosnia lie12) Hillary's missing billing records from Watergate13) Pardongate, where Bill Clinton pardoned a number of people, including a convicted tax evader who was - surprise - a donor.14) Hillary Clinton's amazing cattle futures business (read: fraud)15) Clinton body count 16) Clinton's mentor, communist Saul Alinsky17) Hillary's defense of a child rapist 18) Hillary's fundraising in Iran19) Clinton foundation20) Benghazi21) Paul Franklin Peter22) Watergate, where she was fired for being a liarThis is a massive list, and it's not even all of them. The Clintons have more scandals than Bill has affairs. What scandals could Trump possibly have that compare? Nothing. There is no way Hillary Clinton or her husband Bill should get anywhere near the White House, ever. She should be in jail, and will be once Trump installs a fair AG who will do the job our current one is refusing to do. JudgesTrump has proposed a list of esteemed conservative justices, who will fight to protect the rights established under the Constitution, including the right to keep and bear arms. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, will nominate justices to promote her far-left agenda. Given there is already one vacancy, and there may be two or three more, do you honestly want Crooked Hillary Clinton to be appointing justices? I don't think so. ConclusionAs I've explained and proven, Trump is a far better candidate than Hillary Clinton. His economic proposals are going to lead to millions of new jobs and massive GDP growth, and he's open to working with all sides, whereas Hillary is a partisan hack with no real plans and no willingness to negotiate; his foreign policy plans will avoid the hundreds of thousands of deaths Hillary Clinton will lead to; and his judges will work to protect your rights rather than the political views of the Democratic Party establishment. Even if you still can't bring yourself to support that, what must bring you to do it is the list of scandals the Clintons have had - frankly, they should both be in jail. Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again. Are you going to join him?
