Place your vote.

 

[McGarnicle]

I don't understand the question.

 

[IC FBGCav]

I don't understand the question.

That's fine, not every thread is for everyone.   Have a great day! 

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

By honest do you mean most candidly saying things they really mean, or putting forward semi-coherent and plausible policy ideas? The answer would be different for each. 

 

[Godsbrother]

We all know that Hillary is a champion liar but Trump has told some real whoppers during his campaign.

Tough call.  Went with Hillary

 

[Bucky86]

Is it really lying if Trump actually believes what he is saying?

 

[dutch]

The buffoon who regurgitates conspiracy theories and slanders women in general, minorities by the handful and anyone he perceives to have been "bad" to him OR the ultimate political animal who will pander to whichever audience she is playing too and can speak in half-truths without blinking an eye?  Those two are my choices?  None of the above the clear run away winner imo.

Bundle it all together.   Being honest = telling the truth and playing by the rules.

  being wrong doesn't equal lying. necessarily.

Unfortunately, it is not.

What rules?

 

[IC FBGCav]

What rules?

Campaign finance, debates, etc.

Only in a political thread would someone try to spin a pretty simple question. 

 

[dutch]

None of the above is still the leader.

 

[IC FBGCav]

In the end, no need to make this my exact determination of honest/rules.   Feel free to use your own definition.   I don't want use words like authentic or sincere because it will slant the poll to much.

I understand but there will not be a 3rd option.

Oops I misread -- I thought it said DISHonest. Please deduct one vote for Hillary and add one to Trump.

 

[dutch]

Then the poll is flawed.

 

[otb_lifer]

Hilary's just plain dirty 

she falls somewhere between Sykes ( 'The Fugitive') and Ralphie ('Sopranos')

sliding scale,  but a dirty ####### player, no matter how ya slice it.

Tough call. I voted HRC because she I think her positions are at least thought out. When Trump says things like, "Mexico will pay for the wall, trust me, they will" or promises massive tax cuts for the rich while increasing military spending and balancing the budget, he's being fundamentally dishonest. 

 

[lakerstan]

If they actually believe what they say, it isn't lying.  It is ignorance.

Really does comes down to what's worse, crooked or stupid.

 

[The General]

Takes a real turd to have Hills be the more honest one. Nice work, orange man.

Not in this poll. 

 

[SoBeDad]

Trump has told a million lies, a few big ones, and many of them were needless. If you check out any reporter from the NYC scene of the 80s and beyond, its the same pattern. So his lying is pathological - Cruz and Sanders were right.

Meanwhile, Hillary has told a few strategic lies. 

 

[Ditka Butkus]

I was looking for the Neither option...

Yeah, I get this vibe too.  Perfect example is the Cruz' dad was involved in the JFK assassination stuff -- I mean, I think that Cruz might be even more repulsive than Trump himself, but really, WTF?  It was totally unnecessary -- Trump was cruising regardless.  It's so obviously crazy BS.  Why even say something like that?

You would think the FBI would have completed a routine security check by now. 

 

[jon_mx]

This is kind of like asking which woman is less pregnant.  

 

[Insomniac]

Let's face it, just about everyone would associate the word "dishonest" with these two.

 

[Tackling Dummies]

Schochet catnip. 

 

[TheAristocrat]

I don't think that the Career Criminal believes a word that comes out of her mouth, unless its attacking her husband's victims of sexual assault.

 

[The Future Champs]

I think stupid is more dangerous, particularly to our international relations.    "Crooked" can cause some havoc to the domestic economy, but it's de rigueur in most countries.
