Thank you for answering. Here's the thing: HRC is a flawed candidate, just how deeply flawed depends on the eye of the beholder. DJT? Same.

It seems odd to me that saying, "Hillary Clinton is not Lucifer" is interpreted as defending her. It seems odd to me that saying, "Hillary Clinton is not the same as Charles Manson," is viewed as supporting her.

No, now Trump is not the same, as you say. The Hillary press are making that case to be sure, but while they will and do run an above the fold exposé on Trump based on an aside, or 27 unnamed sources for example, Hillary's shenanigans go by without mention. If you can be honest enough, just imagine what the press would be doing if the scandals which have beset the Clinton camp had actually hit the Trump camp instead? It would defy words and you know it. Trump's gaffes put together do not come anywhere near the bru-ha-ha surrounding the Clinton Foundation. And Julian Assange says he's not done yet either.

Supposedly Trump "went after" a gold star family. But the truth is they were hired to come and speak at the DNC and they were given a prepared script to read in order to do a hit job on Donald Trump. Though it was political theater at best, it none the less worked to perfection and provided Hillary with the bounce she still rides to this day. I saw the same thing go down with Mitt Romney, just different circumstances. To the left, no lie should lie untold.
