Not knowing what the nuclear triad is, or a complete misunderstanding and unwillingness to follow basic security protocols with classified information get a free pass though?

They should allow Johnson in the debates. Like the other candidates, it will either help him or harm him.

Well I'll give you the "Not knowing what the nuclear triad was" point but the "basic security protocols" is an alt right stretch that's been dissected more than the single frog in a 10th grade biology class and has been proven highly overinflated.
Sum total, three small "c" at the head of a paragraph out of all those emails. three small "c" is all those investigations came up with.

I'll play along, but so far you have confirmed that your rule for the debate is "one strike and you are out" so am I to assume that in your most fair and balanced analysis of Clinton, she is still standing in front of the American public with no strikes against her?

No, I agree, she's got baggage but compared to Trump's and Johnson's total ignorance concerning Aleppo, She's coming into the debate with a piece of carry on luggage while Trump has a steamer trunk to check and Johnson lost his baggage before he got there.

Well I guess we will just have to respectfully disagree then because I don't see her as any less guilty as the other two. Neither do many other Americans if are being honest with yourself.

Ignorance?

She blamed Bengazhi on a Youtube video.

She was either hugely ignorant of the situation or absolutely lying.

Which choice do you prefer since this seems to be an issue for you?

I agree with your statement "Neither do many other Americans". I acknowledge that point. For myself, If Biden had been nominated, I'd have voted for Biden. If Jeb Bush had been nominated, I'd have voted for him. If Rubio had been nominated, I'd have voted for him. But since it's Clinton vs Trump, I have to, in good conscience, and with a duty to the constitution, vote for Hillary. No way should that man have any political power whatsoever in this nation. Now or ever. He is the loose canon fired at the face of true democracy.

Look I'm not saying you have to vote for someone else, but you have to be honest here. The criteria that you lay out for Johnson and Trump not being included is certainly comparable to things Clinton has done. I get it, you want to defend your candidate, but at least try not to be so transparent. Based on your own criteria, the debate stage should be three empty podiums at this point.
