Who do you think won the second presidential #debate? — Sun Journal (@sunjournal) October 10, 2016 ST. LOUIS — The words “sex tape” made their debut in the solemn tradition of American presidential debates on Sunday night, as Republican nominee Donald Trump denied doing something he had actually done: Asking his Twitter followers to “check […]

Clinton above the law
Ever notice how often we see homeless veterans, but never homeless immigrants? That is shamefully unacceptable. What happened to “Charity begins at home”? If Hillary Clinton is elected president, she supports allowing thousands of immigrants/refugees into the U.S. If voters are dissatisfied with the way this country is going, they should give “the Donald” a […]

Keep Clintons out of White House
I wonder how many voters remember that when the Clintons left the White House, they took much of the furniture and art? I do. They were ordered to return it.

Their crude, rude language gets them […]

Clinton just doesn’t connect
There are lots of questions about Hillary Clinton. My concern is her attitude toward money. In doing some research, I found that when Clinton’s daughter was married, the family spent $3 million on that wedding. To some people, that would seem quite elaborate but, to them, it was not. They thought their daughter’s $10 million […]

There is a lot at stake in the upcoming presidential election. America needs a president who can navigate a complex world with intelligence, confidence and a steady hand. Hillary Clinton has those qualities — along with decades of experience in government service, both national and international. She has made mistakes, but I would challenge anyone […]

Presidential debate and politics fail to impress Lewiston, Auburn residents
Watching Monday night’s presidential debate might not be the local priority that national ratings suggest it is. It may not be a statistically sound survey, but a quick check Tuesday morning found people who had other things to do. In a poll on the Sun Journal’s Twitter account, more respondents planned to find something else […]

Fact Check: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump deny their own words in debate
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s habit of peddling hype and fabrication emerged unabated in the first presidential debate while Hillary Clinton played it cautiously in her statements, though not without error.
