I knew the answer, and due to Killary's horrible record as a Wiccan and Satan Worshiper, sexual deviate, abuse of her aides and guards while in office, leaving our soldiers to die to cover up her weapons sales, starting the war inside Syria, then funding and arming Isil, losing 6 BILLION dollars while in office, squandering our gas to use AF1 to campaign, killing God only knows how many people, I will not look at her hideous face or mention her name, not even in a question and answer survey. She is unfit to hold the office of dog catcher, she should be appointed as the next Ambassador to Libya.

Claudia Heilke lay off the crack pipe. Trump is not a sexual predetor. But you may look into the Clintons if you actually keep to keep trash like that out of the government.

Hard to believe that she was the first American WOMAN to win a public office position. Regardless of the way people feel about her personality, she would have made an infinitely better President than the heartless self-service orange monster.

Not correct and badly worded. How about Jeanette Rankin, first woman elected to the House of Representatives 1916. Bad question!

Some one has been sniffing "fairy dust". "Wiccan"? "Satan worshiper"? One can disagree with her positions, and her tendency to secrecy, but adding to mythology is not useful in these times.

Laurie Gray,
Your priorities are misplaced. What is it you like about Drumpf?
It would be a much better world and a far better country had Hillary Clinton won.
We would still have global respect among nations.
NATO and our support of it would not be threatened.
We would not be turning our back on our allies or reneging on treaties.
We would not be spoiling for another war in the Middle East.
Our wealth disparity would not be as great.
We would be supporting job retention in our country.
Our Supreme Court would not be so lopsided.
There would be no threat to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security.
We would be acting to ensure our elections are not tampered with by hostile nations.
There would be no attacks on our cherished free press.
We would not have an out and out bigot in office. Instead, we would have a president who feels it's important to represent ALL Americans, not just old, wealthy, Christian, white men and big business.
We would not be reversing the progress we made on protections of our natural resources.
We would not have a president who enriches himself through his office, in violation of the 2 emoluments clauses of the US Constitution.
We would not be separating refugee families and housing them inhumanely.
We would not have to worry about wasting money on a useless xenophobic wall.
We would have in office, an intelligent, experienced, and mature adult who doesn't admire the despots of the world.
We would not be regressing or moving toward fascism.
We would not have a president who surrounds himself with criminals and ignores the rule of law.
We would not have a whiny, petulant, vindictive, egomaniacal ignoramus in office.
If you disagree, or feel these descriptions don't fit the Liar-In-Chief we are suffering through at present, please feel free to rebut.

Marguerite Prince Acosta, he has in one week caused more problems than a normal president do in all his term. Already the world is fed up with him, and also many of his voters are leaving him. He will be stuck in his own lies.

I've often wondered if the Hildabitch was awarded her senate seat by the DNC for starting by her rapist husband, to protect the democRAT party.
