This is still relevant, considering the coverage of Trump varies by medium.
Many criticized President-elect Trump for engaging in conflicts of interest, along with being a racist and a xenophobe, among other shameful names. Indeed Mr. Trump made inappropriate comments. However, Mrs. Clinton received far less criticism for her inappropriate conduct. First, she made disparaging remarks about people who abide by their sincere religious beliefs, and her party associated with a group seeking to negatively infiltrate the Catholic Church. Second, her supposed charity The Clinton Foundation is a major conflict of interest. This charity paid for the wedding and high-end apartment of Chelsea Clinton. In fact, Mrs. Clinton never, during her presidential campaign, boasted of any benefit conferred by the Foundation in this country. If her Foundation significantly contributed to the well-being of Americans, then Mrs. Clinton would have made sure voters knew of those feats.
At least, Mr. Trump was open and honest about his views. Only through leaked videos did the public realize how Mrs. Clinton felt about certain people. Plus, she never denied the veracity of those videos. Had the videos portrayed Mrs. Clinton in a false light, she would have tenaciously defended herself. Voters need a frank candidate to make an informed vote.

You mean a "frank" candidate who has flip-flopped on every single issue whenever he has felt it would buy him more votes?

LOL.

Being the frank candidate that he is, I have no doubt Mr Trump will release his tax returns at some point. Preferably within the next four years.

On the other hand, it's quite possible that the "audit" he is under will grow in scope until it unearths enough to land him in court and possibly jail. That would be fun times, fun times...

I know many people hope so. At both sides of the aisle.

Would be ironic that Trump ignited a GOP landslide, and the GOP might still be considering throwing him under the bus whenever he becomes too much of a liability for them.

I think he's useful to them as a distraction. They fully intend to forge ahead on their plans while he keeps the nation busy with twittering nonsense.
