I didn't, and don't, like Hillary Clinton, but I agree that she would have done a better job than Trump. She spent a lifetime in politics (although she was only elected to one political office herself as a U.S. Senator) so she would have been better equipped to deal with the office of President of the United States than Trump.

I completely agree. I really need a haircut for example, but I don't want to go until this crisis has passed.

Absolutely. One thing I don't like about this country is how we'll turn the other way when it comes to repressive regimes like China and Saudi Arabia for economic reasons. One thing I saw years ago in something called "25 Rules for being a Good Republican" said: You have to believe that trade with Cuba is wrong because it is communist, but trading with China and Vietnam is just dandy.
