Hillary and Huma, still have top level security clearance today.

I have no problem with all candidates getting their background checked and knowing before I vote for them whether they passed. I have held federal security clearance at 2 jobs in my career, btw. Why me and why not them???

Which is, of course, your completely biased speculation.

Regardless, if you can’t pass a clearance, you’re out. Period. That’s how it should be.

That’s not true. As I’ve previously said here, it boils down to intent. I know people who’ve had leaks. They investigate to determine your intent. You aren’t automatically stripped of your clearance.

Placing additional qualifications at the party level would be the ruin of that party. Virtue checking only has so much legal standing.
As I said, It would be Unconstitutional to do so, unless the Constitution is amended to add the additional qualification requirement. The Constitution cannot be altered by legislation. Or do you think otherwise?

Actually the Dems didn't consider it at all by running the most corrupt dirty girl ever to represent them.

There is actually proof of her collusion with Russia and disregard for national security information.

I shouldn't need to hammer that home when she hammered the blackberry.

That is part of democracy involved in our elections.
As conservative as I am, I can register and run as a Democrat tomorrow and the Democrats could not deny me.

Would not be unconstitutional as long as the Party does NOT disqualify the person solely based on it. The potential nominee could continue to run. Isn't this the most transparent way?
