Pence says debate moderator mischaracterized him by reading the exact words he said

Okay, i'll bite. I guess the big reason people tend to focus on what Trump says is that he hasn't actually done anything. He has no history of previous public service that can be criticized. The only thing we have to go on is what he says, because that's all there is. And what he says is terrifying. Here's his policies and positions, from what i can tell: - Sexual violence against women is fun and good - Vladimir Putin is an example of a good leader - All muslims are terrorists and should be banned from entering the country - mexican immigrants are rapists - jailing his political opponents is a good plan - nuclear weapons should always be on the table in foreign policy negotiations

So lets compare that to Clinton: The two big scandals that i'm aware of are she kept emails on a private server, and she waited ten days before acknowledging that the benghazi attacks were carried out by terrorists and not just civil unrest as was initially suspected. Sure, she could be better. But she's at least a serious candidate that could lead the country without burning it to the ground. If you think that Trump's stated positions are better than Hillary's record, you're delusional
