if I was 0% HRC, saw the media as victimising the GOP, felt that exposing Trump as a clown was a bad thing

I don't think exposing Trump is a bad thing. But he's doing a fine job of it himself. He doesn't need to be asked if he's a clown, nor should he be.

I agree that comparing answers is a good thing. But I would have each candidate in a sound-proof room while the other candidate answers the question

I've actually said that for years, with near seriousness. Lock 'em in, and turn on their mike only when it's their turn to talk!

I think GWB was the worst President in my life time. Until Obama. I detest "nation building". I distinctly remember in a debate him (GWB) saying that he did too. Then what did he do?!!!!!!

blaming the poor for their situation

Many of them ARE responsible for their own situation. Although you've never been willing to share your background (to provide insight to your perspective), several years ago I posted at length about mine. About how I grew up rather poor, amongst poor, and how my father died when we were in high school. He was making a little over $2/hr at the time.

About how I worked at a packing plant all through college. A lousy job. And knew/saw dozens (hundreds?) of folks that would hire on and quit within a week, or a day, or even morning breaktime, because they didn't want to work. Or get fired for not showing up. I watched many folks make bad decisions, and saw the outcomes. (Not that it's rocket science.) I have no patience for those that can work and won't. Or for those that are apologists for them.

I don't believe that "poverty" includes those that have so many government benefits that they have heated/cooled places to live with cable tv and cell phones. Poor? Maybe. Poverty? No way.

I am curious where you see yourself.

I'm a person that shares some views with each party and is at odds with much of each. I do not favor the two party system, and think there is a glaring need for something in the middle.

How do you distinguish your views from those of the Republican Party?

I have zero interest in abortion, I don't want the ten commandments posted, I do not want religion involved in government, I think it's nuts to have six Catholics on the Supreme Court, I couldn't care less whether or not you're an Evangelical - as long as you keep your religious views out of my government.

I think Wall Street is almost EVIL and needs to be reigned in. I think there should probably be a different, more "punitive" tax rate for income derived by the likes of hedge funds...or corporate CEOs that make 1,000 times what their workers do.

I think we need to raise the SS retirement age, and probably tweak the rate higher.

I *think* I'm in favor of universal health care. Or something WAY different than what we had, or now have with ObamaCare

I could probably come up with a lot more, if I thought for another minute or two about it.

saw the media as victimising the GOP

You missed my point. Not victimizing. Wasting/ruining a chance for me to learn positions/philosophies from the candidates.

Not that you can ever find a Republican who admits to listening to Limbaugh or watching Fox News.

I'm not a Republican. I have never watched/listened to Rush. I do watch Shepard Smith on Fox.

I'll finish later, I've got to run.
