It occurs to me that there are no threads here, not one, that set out to champion Hillary Clinton.
There is one that wants to tell us how great Obama has been, although I saw a telling comment this morning - "If only Obama could govern as well as he speaks". Which is the sad truth about him, "all mouth and no trousers".

But there haven't been pages of comments about what Hillary said or what Hillary is going to do, except some on the negative. Why is this?

I can only surmise that it's because people prefer to dwell on hate.
There has been no shortage of comment from Trump haters about Trump but previous little from Hillary admirers about Hillary.
Maybe there's nothing to admire about her. I may think that but I couldn't possibly say so.

Not that this is something confined to US politics. People seem consumed with hate about so many things - Brexit, Turnbull, Abbott, on & on it goes.

If Clinton is a shining light why are there not people here running threads about the great promise she will bring?
I find promise in Trump and I say so. Not necessarily in Trump the.person but in the opposition to the progressive route. Why is this not happening on the Clinton side?

Is there nothing positive to write about? Or is being a hater just more fun?

This is counter intuitive Greggy, a kind of thought process I've not seen you participate in, but try get your binary head around this. 

All Hillary will do is keep the status quo. Trump is the ultimate end product of everything that's wrong with the USA. I reckon it would be better for him to be President for 4 years and let the pendulum finish it's swing and maybe Americans will start to crave better politicians.

I'm not a Clinton supporter.

I've said so on numerous occasions.

I actually agree with you: there aren't any supporters in here.

You do know that Hilary will probably be more hawkish than Trump?

He knows, but he doesn't care, because he is literally terrified of the masculine virtues that Trump represents. 

He hates to see any attempt at growth, progress or improvement because it reminds him how much he has wasted by succumbing to his crippling fear of failure.

Also, the decay and destruction that Clinton represents plays right into gwegs ideology - nihilism.

And you didn't see the division in the Democrats?
Compared to the Dem Convention the Republicans were a garden party.

Once you asked that question, the usual blowflies start buzzing round. There aren't many who support a corrupt power-hungry pair of cheats like the Klingons. Anybody who thinks that the US will be better off by putting that little fat bug-eyed be-atch in the Oval Office is mentally deficient.

America's last chance to 'go to the front of the line' is Donald Trump.

Here are all the times Donald Trump has been accused of rape or attempted rape

" ... Trump raped her back in 1994, when she was just 13 years old. According to legal docs, Doe says she attended parties with Trump and his friend Jeffrey Epstein—a registered sex offender known in the media as the “billionaire pedophile.” Doe, who was trying to become a model, says it was during these parties that Trump initiated sexual contact with her on several occasions and on one occasion allegedly raped her.

"According to the suit, Trump tied her to a bed, exposed himself to her and then raped her in a “savage sexual attack.” Doe says she screamed for him to stop at which point he struck her in the face while screaming “that he would do whatever he wanted.” In a statement filed with the lawsuit, Doe says Trump threatened to ruin her life and her family’s life if she ever told anyone about the incident ... "

No wonder Fireball likes him so much.

good to see you agree hiliary is a corrupt liar.

enjoy your vote for her then.

I think many votes for her will be solely because she is a female.

There are many so called 'liberated' women in the US (see Marla) who will vote for that horrible women Hilary Clinton purely because she's a women, and these sad females just want to see the first female President irrespective of how corrupt she is. There are also lot of non white women who'll do the same because they despise Donald Trump, not because Clinton would be in any way better at running the country.

I would not vote for a woman that did this.
