Trump

No mention of a hair transplant nor his tiny wee little hands, so you know the doc's not being entirely honest about Trump's medical history there...

Read this earlier, but yes;

Actual substance. Real data on how the candidates think about some really important things.
I mean even Trump for what passes as substance is giving mostly actual replies to the questions. wow.

You think he took time to answer? I doubt it; it’s probably some intern, charged with writing something not too stupid, even though it’s mostly not things Trump would say himself, mostly things he has probably never thought about.

Clinton too probably got someone to write it. But at least she has thought out policies on these issues, and if asked directly would be able to answer in detail on them. On policy it’s night and day between them. Trump has no detailed policies, Clinton does.

That Hillary is a professional politician with professional speech writers in addition to researching and rehearsing policies and responses the public find palatable doesn't necessarily equate to substance. Statistics from polls and surveys and demographics they reveal will have more to do with what she says than personal principles, integrity, or ethics.
It's nothing to do with politics; whenever I see her I see someone presenting a performance. Like someone in real-estate sales...or politics. Trump is easily more transparent because it's obvious he's a lying egomaniac - he's not sociopathic enough to hid it or intelligent enough to manipulate everyone around him.

I don't know. A lot of Trump's answers are more or less "we have to think about it" or "that's for somebody else to answer", which, if I wanted to shit all over him, I would say is kind of like saying "I haven't thought about it". So fairly Trump right there.

Of course the idea that a candidate should have all the answers isn't necessarily right; but it is what a lot of people (Americans!) demand.

That’s far too easy on him. First, yes, you expect a future president to have fully formed opinions of many policies, otherwise why run for office? Even if your policies are just cribbed off other Republicans you should have them, and be able to discuss them and advocate for them.

But even worse, not only does he not have policies, but when he does make policy statements they often make no sense or simply contradict things he has said before. He “thinks” about it then says the first thing that comes into his head, even if it’s trivial to prove him wrong or highlight how the has yet again reversed his position. The only things he seems to be consistent on are the things that make least sense, such as building a wall and getting Mexico to pay. On most things though he is just making it up as he goes along.

I think the answers seemed a fair chance written by Trump to me. Maybe someone checked them, he seems to do more things personally, for better or worse, in regards to this stuff.
He sets the bar for himself very low, but I think you can fairly state that is stuff he wanted to say. And, while they are very generalized or "aspiration" statements, its the most actual content I think I have ever seen "from him" on policy's.

Of course Clintons are more detailed, more specific, and with firmer ideas about the world. It was just nice to have a comparison of intentions on any level after seemingly non-stop everything-but-policy's being the news.

Hell, they even tried getting the 3rd parties. I assume Johnson just would have wrote "the free-market can do it best" after everything so didn't bother.

Incidentally, I also note Trump claims to be pro space travel in exception to pretty much anything else research wise. Not unusual for a presidential candidate to claim as such. I wonder though. With him you might actually end up just getting some mad sum attempted to be spent on it while everyone else is falling apart. Tell him the ISS is going to be sold and maybe he will pay for a new massive gold-platted Trump station or something.

Here's a spot on analysis of Trump:

Well worth a listen.

Donald is healthy then, according to his doctor.

Except he is two years older than Hillary, officially classed as overweight for his height, and takes statins and aspirin daily.

The thing is, I have to agree with Sam Harris (in the link that IronGiant posted) that even if Hillary shows up to being sworn in as President in a wheel chair, even if she suffers from prolonged brain freezes in emergency situations, even if she abdicates her position halfway through her term and hands over to her Vice President, then she's still a more appropriate candidate for the White House than Trump.

Parkinson's is a potentially manageable condition (at least until it progresses too far) and she's otherwise perfectly sane underneath, Trump's narcissistic stupidity is not because there is no sane individual underneath. That is the whole of the man right there.

Aw, that guy is adorable. No, wait, what's the term... erm... oh! An idiot. That's the term. SAD!

Even if her head unscrews and a bunch of little green men come scurrying out, I'd still sooner vote for her than Trump.
