There is that temper control thing often displayed publically too.
Not as trait of a leader.
Not so. Many a President has had a temper much worse than Hillary's. Ever Ronald Reagan had his angry moments. Some display of anger serves any President well sometimes, especially during moments of international negation; if a President is too cool, he/she may be seen as a pushover. Domestically, a flash of anger can serve to put some focus on something that's important.
All Presidents have their moments of real anger. We simply don't see or know about most of them.
She has a ton of baggage going back to the Arkansas days (cattlegate) and the WH days (travelgate). Whitewater, which yielded 14 felony convictions, was much more a Hillary project than a Bill project. Caught In The Whitewater Net - CBS News
Unlike Bill, she is not a great campaigner. If you google Hillary+relatability problem, you get 52,000 results, largely from liberal sources.
What is the source of her appeal? Can some of you liberals/democrats explain it to me?
Conservatives talk about Hillary running more than liberals do.
Why do conservatives like yourself start Hillary presidential threads?
As a democrat I don't want Hillary running. I believe she has little chance of winning because of Bill's Oval Office lie. And the statistical odds of the first black man and first woman becoming president back to back has to be very small.
Now back to my initial question, why do conservatives talk about Hillary running for president so much?
Is it because you know she doesn't have a chance and you want to push her campaign?
All you posted was your personal opinion and assumptions, not facts.
By the way, Impeachment is not a conviction by congress, it is the simple act of accusation.
The Senate is where the trial would happen and they declined.
I posted facts. Anyone can do the same when they realize how corrupt Hillary is.
I know what impeachment is. And so does Clinton since he was impeached!
There were 67 votes need to remove Clinton from office. No way would there have been enough Democratic votes to do that. In other words, those Democrats were more interested in politics than the laws of the country.
Do you pay any attention to public opinion polls? I doubt it. You'd rather flog some ultra conservative agenda that most people don't agree with all the time.
Instead of doing that, take a dose of "realpolitik" and read these polls. Than get back to me.
Polls two years before an election are meaningless. At that point they are about name recognition. Most people can't name a single Supreme Court Justice and have no idea who the Veep is.

Hillary's scandals are not overblown. They are legion.
There are real scandal and then there is little thing being blown out of proportion. The media also reported that Colin Powell did the same thing that Hillary did.
.
Any statement that starts, "the media" says is bound to run off the rail. I know in the soundbite/what did Daily Kos say today world it is good enough to spout a bullet point, but even a cursory examination shows no comparison between what Clinton did with emails and what Powell did.

I don't know the numbers, but it was evangelicals who sat out the last (2012) election, not tea party movement people. When push came to shove they could not pull the lever for a Mormon.

Will Bill's picadillos stick to Hillary? I doubt it. They were a lot fresher 8 years ago, and they didn't hurt Hillary back then. I don't think they will be any more damaging now; the entire thing will be 18 years old next year. That's ancient history in politics.
Not bringing a case to court because you are not sure you have a strong enough case is not the same as "never found a thing".
With things like the missing Rose Law Firm billing records showing up in the White House in the family quarters where very few people had access to, it may be obvious who placed them there, but it isn't something a prosecutor would hang his hat on.
Read the links below. There were so many scandals it boggled the mind.
Do note that three of these sources are left of center.

do you have an open mind or is this a trolling thread?
If Hillary's on the ticket, I might vote republican for the first time in 20 years.
