lesser of two evils: if you want to vote, you gotta decide. So, all personal attack from Trump is distracting as we know what characters they're. Both are "pay for play" - superb in trading/exchanging for money, power, favor, fame - all up on sale, fair play, well known. Don't claim either side got a better human being - you don't. You may shout out loud: That's evil ! but what can you do? Ha? lesser of two evils ! You have no choice. man !
Then what? What's wrong with that? It's well known fact. When old Bush's President, his sons did those "conflict of interest" trading to acquire money and fame and power - even now they're doing it. Donald Trump, publically said he paid for access to politicians. Trump's so creepy that he just attacked himself - pay for play. Cut the crap! Trump got boggled down to details - his policy narratives, specific milestones with time table and measurable matrix.
Being a dirty businessman, Trump can't claim "innocent" "pure" or "clean." Dirt digging, you can't go any where! You can't be cleaner than Clintons. Trump just wastes our time by attacking the same old Clintons stuff, so old that it's stinct to Trump himself - digging feces shows he's so low, so cheap, so deep, so desperate, that he can't come up with something noble, fresh, creative. Sad ! Sadden, bloody sad! I thought he can do better than digging dirt - he disappointed us so bad that we can't side with him, not quite there yet ! He needs to work harder than what he shouts attacks of full force - disguisting!
5) Patch to blacks/latinos in white community audience - absurd.
6) didn't release his tax return - without showing his tax return, no matter what Trump says, useless. (creepy) cover your own before attacking
7) Scare tactics. (dictator style)
He gotta construct and conjure up hope, how, specifically, he can lead to be better! Cut off the bullsxxx attacks - can't go any where, can't move anyone ! Dumping dirt is bad for everyone ! So sick of those same things again, again, and again.
As for voters, we want to ask "what's in it for me?" "Can you deliver what you promise to me?" For those fans for either: Don't add your own interpretation of wishfu thinking - you're dumped as you're too blind, too die-hard, to ignore his or her flaws. Wake up!
For Trump, he got something for me, but he gotta come up with specifics how to deliver those promises for me. Where is his plan? No. He doesn't do that. Heared his rally, I'm so sick of his "sloganeering" "yelling" "attacking" - none of these with any plans to get what I want from him. No vote!
"choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil." God bless America!

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton is sidestepping new questions about nearly 15,000 recently discovered emails or her family's charitable foundation - a stay-the-course strategy sure to be tested in the sprint to Election Day.
There are a lot of Republicans who are not exactly enthusiastic about their party's nominee. A recent Gallup poll found that only 46 percent of Republicans are happy with Trump; 52 percent wished the party had nominated someone else for the presidency.
首先說說這批經濟政策智囊背景。事實上,特朗普的經濟政策智囊們,恰恰是他的大金主。Cerberus資本的首席執行官Steven Feinberg就是其中之一:他為特朗普和共和黨的聯合籌款賬戶Trump Victory貢獻了33萬9400美元,他的妻子也貢獻了同樣數額的捐款。而Beal Bank的董事長Andy Beal則通過捐款44萬9400美元為自己謀得一席之地:這一數額是特朗普的籌款賬戶在法律範圍內所能接受的最大單筆捐款。除此之外,Beal在2015年還為特朗普的超級政治行動委員會the Make America Great Again捐贈了10萬美元。Beal和特朗普的另一個超級政治行動委員會the Great America也有公開關聯,但捐款金額不明。
當然,有的人會說,特朗普公布的第一批經濟團隊中好歹有一個(唯一一個)經濟學教授Peter Navarro。那我們就來聊聊這個Navarro。Navarro是哈佛大學畢業的經濟學博士,現在任教於加州大學爾灣分校。作為著名的反全球化鬥士,Navarro長期以來認為“中美關係尤其是經貿往來於美國有害”,曾著有《Death by China(死於中國之手)》一書並將其拍成電影,渲染中美貿易對美國的損害。
一個受過正規學術訓練的政治學者寫文章時可以有情緒,但對於學術著作的評價,應該相對審慎、專業。在《Death by China》的第一章,Peter Navarro一開頭就為讀者描繪了一個“駭人聽聞”的所謂“現狀”:中國出口到全球的產品“殺人於無形”,要麽致癌、要麽易燃、要麽有毒、要麽致命;兒童首飾都含鉛、玩具都易燃;中國出口到美國的藥品不是救人而是殺人;如果你“又餓又想死”(原文為“if you're both hungry and suicidal”),你就去吃中國進口的魚、水果、蔬菜,裏麵還有各種各樣被禁的抗生素、腐敗的細菌、重金屬或者是不合法的殺蟲劑(詳見Navarro, Peter. Death by China, PearsonEducation, New Jersey, 2011)。
Peter Navarro說的問題中國有嗎?有。汙染、不合格產品、假貨確實是中國無法回避的問題。但是情況像Navarro描述的這麽嚴重嗎?顯然不是。作為一個接受過正規教育的經濟學學者,Navarro能把一本“non-fiction”的嚴肅類讀物寫出科幻的味道,通過毫無嚴謹性的誇張描寫誤導讀者,簡直是“前無古人,後無來者”:縱觀全書,缺少像樣的實地調查、缺少經濟學理論支撐、缺少係統的數據分析和事實分析,隻是在堆砌各種有關中國的“駭人聽聞”的新聞,擇其惡者用以支持、渲染其中國威脅論的觀點。
這樣一個從邏輯到結論都透著荒謬的所謂“經濟學家”,居然是特朗普經濟顧問團隊中唯一的學院派——可以想見,如果特朗普執政,中美關係將會走向何方。唯一值得慶幸的是,Navarro並非特朗普的嫡係,甚至連靠邊站的資格都沒有:Navarro本人也承認,二者從未見麵,甚至都沒有電話交流——“(Navarro) has never met Trump in person. And asfor speaking with him by phone, he acknowledges, “I have never had thepleasure.” 與其說Navarro是特朗普的顧問,不如說特朗普需要一個在經濟學領域有一定名聲的堅定反華派為自己站台,和自己滿嘴跑火車的經濟、外交政策產生“共鳴”。
