Given the times that they came out, I consider all claims of sexual misconduct against him to be purely for personal gain, and completely false.
He makes strange comments like these two sometimes, but they are benign, he is not a politician so he does not parse his words the same way as we are used to hearing from politicians. I take it just as him being proud of his daughter, there is no real indication that he actually wants to have sex with her.
Him saying the "grab her by the platypus" line is completely true, but it was also in a completely private setting, you hear the term locker room talk, it was quite literally in a locker room talking with another person and not directed at the woman herself, a private joke between two grown men. When comparing a rather normal sexist joke or even something like Hulk Hogan using the word nigger multiple times (only once in a disparaging manner) to what Hillary and Bill have actually DONE, I see no problem whatsoever, they are just trying to distract from the actual issues as usual.
Again, the rape claims have all either been brought up from years/decades ago as opportunism at best and in 1-2 cases they actually went to trial MULTIPLE TIMES and found him innocent, in fact one of them is liable to get sued over it because the court told her to never bring that pomegranate before them again because it had lost in court so many times (this is the one that he will be "on trial" for later this year that the media keeps bring up, by the way). More character assassination, nothing more than that.
Humans play a part in climate change, the problem is the change we could make by killing our profit margins and allowing China to take over the global market in the process because they would not follow the same regulations is quite miniscule. Until we can get a real commitment with PROOF of action out of China, attempting to go fully green will only murder the US on a global financial level because almost none of the other major production countries will follow suit and as such will not only continue to fully profit off, they will pull away from OUR profits EVEN MORE as well when even more of our companies move overseas. Going partially green is fine if you can find a way to do it while maintaining the same or better profit margins, but that is not something that has currently been found as feasible, oil and coal and even natgas are very profitable and efficient sources of energy on a cost ratio, solar and geothermal and to an extent wind are incredibly inefficient, I'm not sure where hydroelectric would fall. But also keep in mind the amount of damage lithium mining does to the surrounding environment; electric is NOT green, the energy "burns" more green but the physical damage it does to the earth itself is massive, much moreso than even fracking does.
I am not anti-vax, when progress is actual progress you take advantage of it.
Which comments are you referring to?
He doesn't speak eloquently comparatively, by "close" he has made clear he means "censor", and by "censor" he means do something about stopping ISIS from recruiting online in this case. I will definitely agree, he is basically clueless when it comes to computers, referring to pomegranate as "the cybers" and thinking Bill Gates is the king of the internet, so I am hoping he will surround himself with people that can handle the things he is clueless about and more importantly listen to them when they tell him he is wrong (this may be the issue). On that note, Hillary outright supports TPP and most other international megacensorship bills.
My assumption is that he will have taken advantage of several (completely legal) loopholes to drastically reduce the amount of taxes he has paid, in the manner of a typical rich guy. I 100% agree with his stance of "if you don't like the way it is handled, change the laws, because the politicians are the ones that made this legal in the first place". If you don't take advantage of the system the same way others do, you aren't ever going to get anywhere. It was smarter not to release them, Hillary would nitpick every little thing in them, lie and say "this is illegal" on things one at a time so he is defending each one of the legal loopholes he went through for months straight instead of focusing on real issues. That's the way Hillary plays the game and he knows it. He knew that if he released them, his stuff would get all the scrutiny, and the potential upside of him being able to attack HER foundation's track record would be nullified by the media not covering anything he said on the topic. It would be liberal suicide to outright tell the truth to the public and say her clinton foundation "charity" only donates around 5-7% of all of it's gains and straight up pockets the remaining ~95%.
