81. And he doesn't associate with War Criminals like Henry Kissinger either. One of MY litmus tests

Mon Feb 29, 2016, 04:28 PM

Feb 2016

for people looking to hold powerful positions in our government is 'how many war criminals do they call 'friend and/or mentor'. To my knowledge the Bush family are not among his friends either.

I know it's a low standard we have set these days wrt to our 'leaders'. But there is a level of 'moral character' that even those willing to lower the bar in order to 'win' should not be willing to ignore, and War criminals I would think would be the last straw as it were.

Using that as a standard if nothing else, yes, he is a person of moral standards and I am glad that the candidate he has endorsed doesn't count any War Criminals among his friends or mentors either.

I agree, many do think one having money is bad, have been reading this morning some of the comments. Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #13

What an odd comment el_bryanto Feb 2016 #8

I just read the post. Hillary doesn't care about people because she is the 1%. Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #9

Do you think that in general the 1%'s interests are those of most of America el_bryanto Feb 2016 #17

In many cases just as interested in the ones at the bottom 1%. Thinkingabout Feb 2016 #29

Nobody deserves to be in the 1% marions ghost Feb 2016 #34

Not even close, really? Dustlawyer Feb 2016 #83
