If you have to approach China from a geopolitical/investment angle and make a list of experts based on that, she'd be at the very top.

I guess by that logic you can say that Clinton is THE EXPERT on every country in the world. I've heard it all folks.

G.S. doesn't have to justify anything to anyone They can lie, cheat and do what they want.

The thing is, there is no guarantee that copying a plan that worked for a 320,000 people nation is going to work on a 300,000,000 nation. Failing several Icelandic banks do not have the same devastating effect as failing several global big banks.

It's the same number that the U.S. works.......as far as you know no one worked 60-70 hours.

There is zero reasons why we didn't prosecute the corrupt bankers. Other than the fact they run the government. ie: Geithner, Bernanke and Yellen.

From a geopolitical perspective, yes, THAT WAS HER JOB.

Plus, what Secretary of State doesn't become an expert on China??? Our biggest economic trading partner?????!!

You're being abusively, recklessly and baselessly dismissive of valid information. The reason why so many of the most respected foreign policy experts in the country are behind Clinton is for the very reason that she is, without exception, the most qualified person ever to seek initial election as POTUS with regard to knowledge of the nations of the world, in the context of the responsibilities of the POTUS.

Why would the big banks be paying Hillary all this money to give speeches?

You are simply wrong, and I mean that in the most tender loving way. It is not the Secretary of State's job to become an expert on every country. The experts are the ones who brief the Secretary of State. No one on this earth has the intellectual capacity to become the foremost expert on every country in the world. Lifelong bureaucrats specialize in one region of the world, Clinton never had the background, she was appointed Secretary of State, she was always a lawyer/politician.

For the same reason they pay anyone with knowledge and experience to give speeches.

Wall Street clearly is buying influence with Hillary and the people who supported OWS are fine with it.

The "We are the 99%" are fine with Hillary getting off simply because she is part of the 0.000001% political elite.

They cheered, chanted, and even fainted when Candidate Obama bashed a plethora of Bush policies and then quietly looked the other way when President Obama endorsed via action those Bush policies.

Etc...

Go tell the average CIA ops officer that Clinton is an expert on China and they will laugh in your face. She doesn't even speak Chinese for crying out loud.
