The one thing we can almost always look at is a candidate's past. Seeing what they voted for and what they did, you can get an idea of what type of President they would be. With Trump we don't have that so from a policy standpoint we are in the dark. From a temperament standpoint, I think Trump as president will spend a lot of time bashing those who don't agree with him.
Yes

unfortunately we have the other candidate's track record laid out in more detail than she would ever want us to. Thanks to wiki leaks and alternative sources since the media is obviously in her pocket.

Corruption of massive proportions, in the pocket of not only Wall Street and big business, but also some of the most hostile regimes in the world, war mongering, inaction and covering up many terrible and borderline criminal decisions.

Her talk about "middle class" and being a "champion" for all Americans was so incredibly fake it was beyond laughable.

I wonder if her no fly zone comment in the last debate was an improvisation trying to look like she has a plan, since I really can't imagine she would ever consult that with anybody with military background.

This would be an insane decision given the current situation, basically waiting on which side shoots down the other side's plane first. Then she could send Kerry for another dozen ten hour long meetings that will accomplish absolutely nothing, that will show them.
