Thanks for the link, Mom, you're right, that first one didn't work. The email scandal is pretty atrocious, no doubt about that, and the fact she at one time opposed gay marriage upsets me too...I have to say though, the first debate on Monday didn't give me any confidence in Trump either.
He is embarrassingly arrogant, it pains me to watch him speak. All he does is weave in "I'm such a great business man, my business is doing tremendous" blah blah blah. It's cringe worthy, and seems to be stemming from some kind of insecurity. He is SO out of touch with the real world, how could ANYONE in the middle class think he has ANY idea what its like to live a normal life? He's so out of touch with reality. He claims the 14 million dollar loan he received from his family was "very small" – what a ridiculous statement. I have no problem with him being a wealthy business man, but listening to him speak about himself with such arrogance is just so infuriating. Being a great business man has little bearing on his ability to lead a country. The USA is not a business, it's much more complicated than that.
He was also unable to speak intelligently about most of the issues brought up. His understanding of ISIS and US forces placement/exit from Iraq is abyssal. He makes bold claims, and when they are read back to him, sometimes only moments later, he flat out denies them.
He is also incredibly immature and ill suited to be a president. The rant about him having the right temperament to be president is just laughable. He took every bit of bait Hillary laid out for him. He is just so petty, he can't handle any kind of criticism, without lashing out and threatening litigation. The anecdote about him threatening to bomb those Muslims out of the water is so fiery and reactionary...Could you imagine the inflammatory things he could say to other diplomats once he's in office?
I know many people find him "refreshingly real" because he's not a politician, and doesn't speak like one, but as the president, you have an obligation to speak carefully, and cordially, and to think carefully before speaking. He is clearly not capable of that. People made fun of George W. Bush for not having the greatest vocabulary, but that didn't bother me that much. George at least knew how to speak carefully enough so as not to anger our allies.
I've seen videos of trump saying that the "2nd amendment folks" should assassinate Hillary. I've seen evidence of his racism and bigotry. It's shameful. The fact that his response to the allegation that he was sued for not allowing blacks to take residences/real estate was very telling...Instead of assuring anyone that he isn't racist, he simply says "we settled without admission of guilt." –I'm sorry, but that to me basically says he was guilty of racism, but got away with it with a relative slap on the wrist, alongside many other real estate firms.
These are the actions of a petty individual. I don't like Hillary. The email scandal and Bengazi were terrible. But I hate trump and do not trust him at all. I feel strongly that he will hurt this country, and our reputation, and provoke hatred from other countries.
This is the worst election ever!

i hope your son recognizes that although mr trump may be harsh or not pc at times his statements have been all to right
NO mr trump did not imply 2nd amendment folks should harm Hillary he implied that we vote also and her hypocrisy of wanting your due process gone as she puts u on a no fly list then REMOVES YOUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AS IF THAT IS CONSTITUTIONAL IS LAUGHABLE AS SHE MARCHES AROUND W/MANY ARMED SECURITY
when kate steinle was murdered plus the o/in a long line of illegal immigrant crimes and thanx to sanctuary cities they go on despite the fact it breaks federal law now her friend McAuliffe in VA gve, w/no authority to do so, felons the right to vote OMG yet when states complain that federal law is not being following the Ohitler admin punishes them. Mr Trump wants our laws enforced as they need to be that is the job of the pres plus he takes an oath to defend it mr o has done a failing job at that b/c he ignores the us constitution hitlery would be worse as SHE SAID SHE WOULD DOUBLE DOWN ON THOSE POLICIES OH LIKE HIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL DREAM ACT; HIS UNILATERAL CHANGES TO OHITLER CARE; HIS PASSING THE CLIMATE TREATY BY HIMSELF ; WHERES CONGRESS??????????????????
NO MR TRUMP IS NOT PERFECT BUT HE LOVES THE COUNTRY.
He is not alone. Were the election held today, I'm with her. Seems to me Mr. Trump is a problem. His hate for POWs and Gold Star Parents disgusts me. His failure to admit he ever, in his life, has made an error he needs to confess to God disgusts me. The list is endless. Thanks to him, I have actually turned a corner on Hillary - she does look presidential. Even Bill looks good compared to Mrs. Trump.
I hope folks from this site will respond with information that is actual and mind changing. At this point we do just look like a group of foil hatted non-patriots. He offers us nothing.
What hate for POWs? Are you talking about McCain? That is exclusive to McCain (this veteran calls him McShame - my brother served on a PT boat on the Saigon River, so I have that right, IMO), who, in fact, was a traitor - his injuries came about when his plane was shot down (because of his own arrogance and disobeying orders), not from the guards; he turned on his fellow troops and made over 30 propaganda recordings for the enemy (you can listen to it yourself here: https://www.oathkeepers.org/breaking-news-john-mccains-1969-tokyo-r... ; here is another: Trump is right: John McCain is no hero: http://powderedwigsociety.com/trump-is-right-john-mccain-is-no-hero/

From a US Navy Aviator who served with McShame: (copied from FB post)
Shared via John A. Saia
Truth about McCain...... From a US Navy Aviator who served with McCain: TRUE!! AND. . he LIED about it!! RESPECTFULLY, you NEED to have this conversation with some Naval Aviators and officers of that era!!! *I* am ONE of those and KNOW the "true story" of Admiral McCain's little thug son, John!
McCain was a traitor and collaborator, while being held captive. He was given preferential treatment, due to the fact that his captors felt he was 'royalty', due to his family 'connections'. They didn't understand why someone SO 'connected' was putting himself in 'harm's way'. Different culture than ours.
His "shoot down" was self-induced, as he DISOBEYED ORDERS and flew well below the 'floor', getting himself shot down. There were several other jets on that particular mission and HE was the only one shot down, because the others obeyed their orders!
His ENTIRE life has been one of disrespect of orders and authority, believing himself bullet-proof, due to his 'family name' and his dad and grand dad being HIGH ranking Navy Admirals!
His 'nickname' in his HS yearbook was "Punk" and he displayed that behavior as he went on to the USNA, where he robbed someone, more deserving, of a slot in his class, due to the 'influence' of his father.
He SHOULD have been expelled, several times, but the folks at USNA did not want to go up against dad. He graduated FIFTH FROM THE BOTTOM in his class . . but STILL ended up going to Pensacola for flight training!@! His classmates who actually 'made the grade' were aghast when he showed up down there.
His flight grades were well below acceptable and he should have been run out of there too . . he was an ABYSMAL aviator . . crashing on base leg at Corpus for carrier qualification training. . he had been out drinking the night before and FELL ASLEEP after turning base leg and 'configuring' for landing . . he crashed 'wings level' and straight ahead into Corpus Bay . . too bad for us he wasn't over land . . story would have ended there.
He destroyed two other A/C after arriving in the Fleet . . before being shot down.
His nickname in Hanoi was "Songbird". . due to the information he willingly gave his captors. . tactical stuff. .like 'routes, altitudes', etc., that our guys used to fly from the boat to their targets and he got several of my fellow aviators shot down and killed. He recorded 32+ propaganda bits (a la Tokyo Rose) to be played for our enlisted troops . . to undermine their moral.
The bogus 'story' about not coming home early, when he could have, is just common sense. He KNEW he would have been 'court martialed' IF he had accepted any kind of early release, based upon his 'family connections'.
After his release, his Navy 'flying career' SHOULD have been over, based upon his permanent injuries, but, his dad intimidated a flight surgeon and he wrongly got back his flight medical status, when ANYONE else would NOT have 'passed' with his 'condition'. He was 'awarded' the position of XO at the Navy's largest training squadron, VA-174 at NAS Cecil and when the CO moved on, he was 'selected', over MANY more qualified officers, to become CO. .he used his position as XO and CO to take young (junior) female pilots on X-Country flights and screwed their brains out.
I was in the Reserves, flying around the country at that time and it WAS the talk of the flight line !! EVERYONE knew what he was doing . . THAT is ILLEGAL in the military and he SHOULD have been convicted at Court Martial for 'fraternization' . .INSTEAD . .daddy got him moved out of the squadron and put in charge of the Navy's "Liaison" in DC . . along with a VERY early promotion to Captain . . the rest, as they say, is history.
John McCain IS a scum bag . . a DISGRACE to the uniform we wore and his spots did not change when he became a politician!
Do a GOOGLE . . there is a LOT more stuff out there. .BUT, this snippet, below, is REALLY DAMNING . . there are some 'heavy hitter', respected politicians and leaders on there, calling McCain the treasonous SCUM he IS!!
Here are 2 articles showing what Trump was able to do in the past as a builder- a side that the liberal main stream media of today will never show of him:
Here is an example from the past as to what Donald Trump was able to do:
Faster And Cheaper, Trump Finishes N.y.c. Ice Rink
By Rick Lyman, Inquirer Staff Writer
Posted: November 01, 1986NEW YORK — Score one for the Trumpster.
Back in June, when the city's bungled, six-year effort to renovate the Wollman Ice-Skating Rink in Central Park was $12 million over budget with no end in sight, real-estate tycoon Donald Trump stepped forward.
Just give the project to me, he said, and I'll finish the rink by Christmas. This Christmas. And for free.
"I have total confidence that we will be able to do it," Trump said at the time. "I am going on record as saying that I will not be embarrassed."
Yesterday morning, in a gala ceremony down in the sunken, tree-shrouded gulch just off Central Park South, Trump unveiled his completed rink - the ''largest man-made skating rink in the world," glistening with a mirror- perfect sheath of virgin ice.
He was two months ahead of schedule, and $750,000 under budget.
"This serves as an example of what New York, the wealthiest city in the world, can do in terms of saving money - if things are done right," an exuberant Trump said. "If we could just plan and execute, it would be billions and billions of dollars that would be saved."

This article from the New York Post describes how New York City was in crumbling decay, and Trump was able to revitalize it:

This might help if and when we see the tax returns. Serious questions raised on what it means to be "good".
Seriously? Worried about TAX RETURNS??!!?? He put out a financial statement over 140 pages long, for goodness sakes! I have also posted a number of links about his donations and quiet, under-the-radar assistance to people and his generosity and kindness. Hillary Clinton would eviscerate our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, just for a start, stack the SCOTUS with leftist judges for the next generation, import as many as 500K so-called "refugees," pass TPP within the first month in office, literally sell (or rent, as she did when Billy-boy was President) the WH and the Office of the President, despises our military and SS agents, believes a fetus in utero up to the TIME OF BIRTH has NO Constitutional rights, and on and on and on and on. Dear God above, can we PLEASE get over not seeing Trump's TAX RETURNS!!??!!
"Good?" Which one of US is good enough? All have sinned and are lost but for the glory of God!
Probably under budget because he skipped paying to many of his subcontractors which has been proven to have happened more than one can count on your hands and he probably hired a bunch of illegal immigrants to work on the project. Which I watched a clip where he actually contracted to have illegals brought in to work for his companies. He at that time also stated it was good business practice.
Trump used the system that was and is in-place. He himself has said some of the tools he utilized should be illegal and in his opinion should be changed.
Your son is allowing himself to be bamboozled by the MSM twisting what Trump has said. Here are some videos and articles you can show him. I have posted a LOT so you might want to sift through them and find which ones speak directly to his concerns.
