Her foundation has a four-star (of four possible stars) charity rating. His foundation has been used to benefit him.
She has a career of service including helping the handicapped, promoting women’s rights and getting medical care for first responders. He has used millions of inherited dollars to keep himself rich by bankrupting others and leaving a trail of 4,000-plus lawsuits and unpaid contractors.
She has never been accused of sexual misconduct. He has made lewd, predatory comments about women, has been accused by a least a dozen women of unwanted sexual contact, and walked in on undressed beauty contestants.
She has specific policies for meeting the challenges of the economy, jobs, international relations, health care and the environment. He speaks in sound bites and spews hatred of whole groups of people and hundreds of individuals. I’m with her.
