On one side is Donald Trump, with Mike Pence. On the other is Hillary Clinton, with Tim Kaine. The choice is easy. Hillary Clinton will be an excellent president of the United States. Donald Trump would have the serious problem of continuing to be Donald Trump if elected.

Many who are anti-Trump have made the mistake of saying the choice is not good either way. They say they will vote for the person that is not Trump just because it is not Trump. Without realizing, they are collaborators in a long and successful campaign to minimize Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is a wonderful politician: highly intelligent, well-intentioned, competent and determined. After losing against Obama, Hillary Clinton worked with him – and did so very well. Now Obama supports Clinton – that is really something, we say.

Her husband, Bill Clinton, despite his terrible personal defects, was an excellent president – largely thanks to her collaborations.

If Hillary wins the election, history will reveal who will be known as President Clinton and who will need the first name. But Clinton will, surely, with the collaboration of her husband. They have been, for many and many years now, a great, beneficent and effective political team that knows how to survive every single attack.

Hillary Clinton is a deluxe candidate. She couldn’t care less about people commenting on her clothes. She is superior. Never before have there been such uneven candidates. Trump is awful. Clinton is excellent.


De um lado está Donald Trump com Mike Pence. Do outro está Hillary Clinton com Tim Kaine. A escolha é fácil. Hillary Clinton será uma excelente presidente dos EUA. Donald Trump teria o grave problema de continuar a ser Donald Trump caso fosse eleito presidente.

Muitos antitrumpistas têm caído no erro de dizer que a escolha não é famosa. Dizem que votarão na pessoa que não é Trump só por não ser Trump. Sem saberem estão a colaborar numa longa e bem-sucedida campanha para minimizar Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton é uma política formidável: inteligentíssima, bem intencionada, competente e decidida. Depois de ter perdido contra Obama, Hillary Clinton trabalhou com ele – e muito bem. Agora é Obama que apoia Clinton. É obra, reconheça-se.

O marido dela, Bill Clinton, não obstante os terríveis defeitos pessoais, foi um excelente presidente – em larga medida graças à colaboração dela.

Se Hillary ganhar as eleições, a história há-de dizer quem é que ficará conhecida como Presidente Clinton e quem é que precisará do primeiro nome para se saber quem é.. Entretanto Clinton contará, com certeza, com a colaboração do marido. São há muitos, muitos anos uma óptima, benificente e eficaz equipa política que soube sobreviver a todos os ataques e mais alguns.

Hillary Clinton é uma candidata de luxo. Está-se bem nas tintas para as bocas sobre como se veste. É indiferente. É superior. Nunca houve dois candidatos tão desiguais. Trump é péssimo. Clinton é excelente.
