Clinton vs Trump

Our on-going conversation on the US election continues, as we are once again joined by Western University’s Associate Professor of Political Science, Salim Mansur. As regular listeners know, he has accurately been calling the shots on the direction of events since the Trump card was first dealt to the Republican Party.

With Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee, our conversation shifts to an examination of the real choice now faced by American voters. In comparing Trump’s leadership qualities with those of Clinton’s, how will Americans vote, and why? That’s the question we entertain in our discussion that looks at both political camps and their chosen leaders.

Salim’s observations and conclusions certainly are not those shared by the establishment media and most political observers, possibly accounting for their constant surprise at the turn of events.

In comparing Trump’s ‘non-political’ record with that of Clinton’s very political record, Salim exposes the ugly nature of ‘Identity Politics’ that has been made the theme of the election.

Tune in for all that, and more – after all, even when ‘the lesser of two evils’ appears to be the only option, it’s always Just Right to be informed.

  1. An email update sent to me on Donald Trumps first ever fund-raising campaign.

    Donald J. Trump, Jr. (teamtrump@donaldjtrump.com)

    To: tharlson@hotmail.com
    teamtrump@donaldjtrump.com

    Ted,
    Yesterday my father sent his first ever fundraising email for the campaign and predicted it would shatter fundraising records.

    Once again, my father was right.

    Yesterday’s email was a massive success. My father offered to match up to $2 million personally, $1 for every $1 donated, and in less than 12 hours we surpassed that goal. All because of supporters like you.

    If you missed the email, you can read it in full below.

    Now we need your help to keep up this incredible momentum. Please chip in today to help make my father, Donald J. Trump, the next President of the United States.

    We all know what a disaster Crooked Hillary would be for this country if she were elected. And the only way to stop her is to stand together and fight against her fraud and lies.

    If you haven’t given yet, I’m asking you to donate right now to help out the campaign at this critical time.

    Crooked Hillary has corrupt, deep-pocketed donors backing her. That’s why your involvement and financial support is so important.

    Please donate right now to help my father Make America Great Again.

    Sincerely,

    Donald J. Trump, Jr.
    Executive Vice President
    The Trump Organization

    Donald,
    This is the first fundraising email I have ever sent on behalf of my campaign. That’s right. The FIRST ONE.

    And, I’m going to help make it the most successful introductory fundraising email in modern political history by personally matching every dollar that comes in WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS, up to $2 million!

    Donald, this means any donation you make between $1 and $2,700 (the maximum allowable contribution) will be matched, dollar-for-dollar.

    END.
