Yes Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both seem to have such flaws that they do not really have to attack one another.<!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">They just seem to create problems for themselves. I will first look at Hillary and at one of her own caused problems. The\u00a0 fact that she setup an unsecured private email server when she was Secretary of State was not a good idea at all! While she is not the first one to have unsecured email, Hillary did not make sure that her staff knew not to send any emails through her private server that were classified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2016\/05\/27\/us\/politics\/what-we-know-about-hillary-clintons-private-email-server.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">January of 2009<\/a> she <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/09\/26\/us\/politics\/string-of-emails-raises-questions-about-when-hillary-clinton-began-using-personal-account.html\" target=\"_blank\">begins using hdr22@clintonemail.com<\/a>, an email account housed on a private server. The State Department&#8217;s policy at that time stated that &#8220;normal day-to-day operations&#8221; were to be conducted on an authorized system. Of course her private email server did not meet this criterion at all and she should have known or at least inquired what the State Department\u2019s rules were; hence she is her own worst enemy! By having a private server she has opened the door for the opposing party to bring this up as showing how incompetent she is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Why did you not look at what the policy was, Hillary? Do you think that you are immune to following the rules?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Now I will talk about one of Donald Trump\u2019s flaws. What stands out the most, at least to me is what he has said on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdonaldtrump?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> (@realDonaldTrump). He seems to have no public filter at all and it has gotten him into trouble in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Here are some of the things he has said on Twitter-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><em>This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy <\/em>\u00a0&#8211; June 2014<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><em>I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke<\/em>.\u00a0 &#8211; November 2012<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><em>Obama is, without question, the WORST EVER president.

You have a long list of them, be that they are in the commercial arena and not the political one does not matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">I could go on for quite awhile talking about the things both candidates have said\/done to hurt themselves, but I won\u2019t do so as to not make this blog boring. But I must say that this Presidential campaign just reminds me of the movie \u201cDumb and Dumber\u201d and you the voting public will have to pick one of them to be President of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino,serif; font-size: 18pt;\">Does anyone have a solution to this conundrum? Whoever becomes President will be not be as good as any of the past Presidents of this country.
