I would urge journalists to ask whether they are reporting facts or simply engaging in innuendo, and urge the public to read with a critical eye. If reports about a candidate talk about how something raises questions, creates shadows, or anything similar, be aware that these are all too often weasel words used to create the impression of wrongdoing out of thin air.
And heres a pro tip: the best ways to judge a candidates character are to look at what he or she has actually done, and what policies he or she is proposing. Mr. Trumps record of bilking students, stiffing contractors and more is a good indicator of how hed act as president; Mrs. Clintons speaking style and body language arent. George W. Bushs policy lies gave me a much better handle on who he was than all the up-close-and-personal reporting of 2000, and the contrast between Mr. Trumps policy incoherence and Mrs. Clintons carefulness speaks volumes today.
In other words, focus on the facts. America and the world cant afford another election tipped by innuendo.

Sorry, I want Trump by 7-8 points. Her thighness needs a serious smackdown.
