I'm not saying that having an affair with an intern was ok, it wasn't, but it really should have been between the husband and wife, not the rest of the country. And esp. not when it was being pushed by Republicans, some of whom were at that same time cheating on their own wives. Newt Gingrich was cheating on Wife #2 - the one he married after serving divorce papers on Wife #1 while she was in the hospital recuperating from breast cancer - while trying to impeach Bill Clinton. Also while being paid by the taxpayers. Making this seem as if Bill Clinton did something so awful while giving a pass to others is wrong.

And in any case, Hillary is the candidate and she wasn't the one cheating on her spouse. Which is of course a lot more than you can say about Donald Trump.

Repubs are conveniently overlooking Donald Trump's philandering and cheating on his 1st and 2nd wives.

Then again, the GOP primary system is a little more fair being that they don't have super-delegates that vote how they want regardless of how the people vote.

I think Bill's legacy as a successful President works in Hillary's favor, especially since she took a larger role in Bill's presidency than most first ladies typically do. If it wasn't for that, I don't think she would have much a shot on her own merit.
The GOP primary system allows winner take all, which is worse than Superdelegates, as trump gets 100% of a State where he only won 51% of the vote, where as in the case of superdelegates, at best, Hillary only got what 79% of the delagates in her best state like Missisippi where she won 85% of the popular vote.( Sanders winning superdelegates in that state means he actually brought her average lower than her actual popular vote win)

So no, the Republican system isnt fairer, its far worse.

Donald Trump got 44% of the popular vote, but 58% of the Delegates

Clinton got 56% of the popular vote, 58% of the Delegates.

I'm a life-long Democrat and I don't like Hillary.

With that said, I will vote for her over Trump.

If the GOP had nominated Kasich, I would have voted for him over Hillary. It's too bad, as I think Kasich could have been a good president and could have worked across the aisle.

As it stands, we will get four years of Hillary and she will lose in 2020 to somebody lame like Rubio. He will then lose after four years to somebody else lame like Cory Booker.
