Presidential campaigns are always studies in contrast, but rarely have the differences between the two major party nominees — and the kind of campaigns they plan to run — been as stark and as unusual as those between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
His political instincts are as rash as hers are cautious. Her policy proposals are as detailed and numerous as his are broad and few in numbers. Her public appearances are controlled and careful. His are the political equivalent of “The Truman Show.” She says he is unqualified to be president. He says she is unfit to serve.
There are certainly ideological differences between the two. But this is not an election that presents voters with the kind of choice they had in 2012. President Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had sharply different views about social and cultural issues, the size and scope of government, the best ways to create jobs and projecting U.S. power abroad.
Some Democrats probably would take issue with the suggestion that the ideological divisions between Trump and Clinton are less clear than those between Romney and Obama. The Clinton team will appeal to its base with many of the same arguments Obama used against the GOP nominee four years ago....

Really? What is she actually planning to do, aside from bankrupting the country and stealing another trillion dollars?
I did read that she claimed she would get $30 million for the coal miners (in welfare) after she shut down the mines.
“..Really? What is she actually planning to do, aside from bankrupting the country and stealing another trillion dollars?..”
You forgot about stealing our Constitutional rights, brainwashing our kids with gay pervert rights, free everything for everyone, including sex-change operations, open borders, no military, no free speech, more hate crime legislation, printing more worthless money, pandering to our enemies, neutering our legal system, and...and...and....
Looks like Mr. Balz does not even bother spending 5 minutes researching Mr. Trump’s “policy proposals”. Just use the standard issue talking points, write your piece in about 15 minutes then head to the bar with the rest of your like minded friends and yuck it up about how superior you are to Trump and his rube supporters. Working for the Cylons can be a lucrative gig if you can get it.

Actually, all the same arguments, it’s all they have.
Well, unless they just came out and denounced Trump
as a “Capitalist Roader” or maybe a “Running dog of
the Imperialist hegemony”.
Really, it’s all they have.
Camille Paglia advanced the colorful imagery of Hillary as the captain of a lumbering Spanish Galleon with Trump as a buccaneer swinging through the rigging.
“President Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had sharply different views about social and cultural issues, the size and scope of government, the best ways to create jobs and projecting U.S. power abroad.”
The narrative is collapsing.
I love it.
“Her policy proposals are as detailed and numerous”
Absurd.
Absurd.
Whaddaymean? She's got dozens of different policy proposals on each policy! That way she can tell each audience about how she's going to give them everything they want, even though they day before yesterday she told a different audience something entirely different.
To the MSM, this makes her a brilliant woman.
Nothing could make her ready for the steamrolling she is about to experience.
The only difference I was able to detect between Obama and Romney is that Obama wanted Obama to win and Romney wanted Romney to win. Policy-wise there wasn’t a whisker-width of daylight to distinguish them.
Fixed it.
What Hillary failed to mention is that 29 of that 30 million will be given to lefty groups that will "train" the former coal miners on how to get food stamps.
Do you really think Romney wanted Romney to win? I don’t. I saw the way that he threw the debates, after showing that he could win them.
I wouldn’t bet the farm on it, no. I’d totally forgotten what a Republican who wanted to win even looked like by that point.
