Hillary is an outstanding politician.


The question is, do we want another politician whose primary objective, by definition, is to line their pockets?


Or do we want a leader who will address the problems facing our nation?

That she is. She's also a dinosaur, as is Bernie; and IMO it's a disgrace the Democratic party has limited its choices so.

Hillary's supporters don't want me to tell you this but I must.
You wasted your time
Making up that rhyme.
It may seem unfair,
But we really don't care.

I Don't Trust Hillary Clinton

Because of the allegations that have come out against Hillary Clinton, she's a person who I don't trust.
Hillary's supporters don't want me to tell you this but I must.
Because of these allegations, I can't and won't trust her to run this country.
If I was a politician who was facing such allegations, people wouldn't vote for me.
I don't trust Hillary to be in the Oval Office.
She shouldn't be elected, I firmly believe this.
If you're going to vote for her, you have that right but what I've said had to be mentioned.
I don't think that Hillary Clinton is trustworthy and I have to bring that to people's attention.
Hmm. We are all entitled to our own opinions. You are basically rewarding 25 years of the Republican smear campaign.

One prominent Republican has come out and admitted that 'Benghazi' was investigated to death mainly to create doubt in Hillary's presidential campaign.

Looks like, with you, they succeeded.

Benghazi has been a right wing smear campaign that has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars ALL so that Hillary wouldn't get the Presidential nomination. Per Kevin McCarthy - almost speaker of the Hosue.

Still better than anything resembling Cruz, Trump, or Rubio.

So does this concede that yes Hillary is dishonest? And since we don't know her as president she could be good or bad?

I don't like those odds. At least Carter was honest Hillary can't say that. I will also say that Carter post presidency has been admirable.

During one of my politically naive periods I was praising the ethics of a particular politician. My uncles response was that all politicians are crooks, you just vote for the one that when he steals they give you a little bit." That has defined my outlook ever since.

So, just for the sake of not getting into an argument, "Hillary may be a thief, but she's my thief!"

Apparently not considering the number of people being bamboozled by Trump.

By the way, why is it not possible to line one's pockets AND address the problem facing the nation. You know some people can and do multitask. Just say'n

I think Trump is mixed up and has not te experience to be president

I agree with his honesty, and did not vote for him because that was the peak of my wake of fiscal conservatism. now I may vote for Hillary.
