    racist

    compulsive liar
    self-serving
    cowardly (draft dodger)
    bullying (of the disabled no less for e.g)
    xenophobic

    The evidence suggest he's a shallow, charmless narcissist. The only ray of hope is that he actually has no real clue on how to deliver on his election promises.

      As far as I know, that's a complete fallacy, She was asked how she would respond if Iran attached Israel with nukes.

      What evidence is there of that?

      Maybe so. I don't think she's had referenced infrastructure projects in an inauguration speech.

      Nope - that's a completely different type of characteristic and not the same kind of personal cowardice in my view

      cheated to win the nomination, as revealed in many email leaks
      was knowingly funded by the same Middle East backers of ISIS
      Let's not forget the ongoing email server case

      What case? She's been cleared no? And if you think the Donald is putting merica first - you're deluded

        I think you are thick, but I have no idea which, if any, you are out of the other classifications you mention.

            Total votes for Hilary Clinton 69,424,897

            If you're saying democracy was served last night then reason has lost all hope and the human race as we know is doomed.

            The US has a very good electoral system - for a large rural country in 1812. The system the US uses is fundamentally broken in the modern day.

              Nah it is because when he's asked logical questions about his opinions he refuses to answer them.

                Quit the whining all electoral systems have their flaws.

                  Oh, I don't know. It stopped Gore and Mrs Clinton.

                  Look - it's the way their presidential election works. If you're against it, then why did you support the judges who decided against May's government (or the "wishes of the people" as the idiots here put it). In any case, the majority that a government in the UK has is vastly out of proportion to the popular vote.

                  No you didn't. Oikophobia is fear of your own home surroundings. From the Greek "oikos" meaning home. Though it has been used to describe people who prefer alien cultures to their own.
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                      I did not say I'm against it. I understand democracy as it is defined in the dictionary. I'm a math person. The math checks out the result did not, I'm only highlighting that.
