running away from the President and his policies

She's stayed out of the Mexican President flap, and stood for
civilized poltical discourse here, all without getting involved.

If Trump pulls a "crooked Hillary" in the debates, he may get swatted
with a line like this one, and given his crude campaign it's the last thing
he needs.

It was the American army that liberated the Phillipines from both the Spanish and the Japanese empires. But Deterte has already shown us how much he respects others by murdering thousands of people. I'm not worried that Trump will pull the "crooked Hilary" bit in the debates. I'm sure that she'll have some great zingers and retorts to Trump's bullying.

I'm pro-Allies and pro-HRC, but you cannot flaunt that the Philippines was liberated from the Spanish in my face. Simply don't go there. If you still want to, you can start googling for the Balanggiga massacre.

He has a staff working on the correct phrasing for calling Hillary a "son of a whore"

citizen yesterday from airport/my area and asked point blank, "do you agree with how you leader is dealing with the drug problems in your country"? He immediately and affirmatively said, "YES". He said one of the major problems were the chinese meth labs. He said they come from mainland china because the chinese will cut their heads off if caught. So they came to his country because the laws were not so absolute until this crackdown. He said there was a big meth addiction problem. I left it alone. Young man, 20ish

Every one of them is appalled at their President. Not only what he said about Obama but also about his wanton murdering of what he calls drug traffickers. They feel that many innocent people are losing their lives and being accused of drug trafficking.

They also say that women are being forced into doing some of this murdering because they can get close to the "criminals" and that they're told that if they don't their families will be killed.

went overboard with his disrespect of an accomplished world leader. And no doubt many innocent people are dying in their "drug war", just look at american casualties since our "war on drugs" began. Yet I can't help but feel that in spite of your probable truths, this individual I conversed with was telling some truth also.

The concept seems ot have been lost by Duterte in the murdering he's orchestrated.

He seems like the type who would welcome an opportunity to attack a woman.
