Control.

Remember, one of Bill's women recalled that one of Bill's monikers for Hillary was 'The Sarge' .

I don’t get it. All of you hate Hillary because she is a “Take Charge” type. Yet here is Trump twice imposing tariffs, making noises about starting a war with North Korea, and dumping the Paris Accord, and replacing most of his top staff. Now I’m sure you think these things—although not in the best interest of our country—are wonderful “take charge” accomplishments. Wow, I bet you think he is great for doing all this. OK for Trump to be “bold” but not for Hillary. Maybe some male chauvinism going on?

In no particular order of importance:

1. Everything isn't 'Us vs. Them'. Everyone who doesn't like Hillary and/or is critical of her isn't a Trump supporter, a Republican, or either. I'm not a Republican, not a Tump voter, nor a Trump supporter. I don't even like Trump. I don't have to defend what Trump does, nor what any Republican does, any more than you do.

2. Referring to Hillary as 'The Sarge' isn't something that I made up/got any public attribution for. It is a moniker that has been attributed to have been used ABOUT HILLARY by HER OWN HUSBAND.

3. If you don't think that part of the reason Hillary wants to be President is an internally self serving desire for control then, IMO, and I imagine the opinion of many others, you are deluding yourself.

Hillary Clinton was the true meaning of "racist"

That's quite a broad brush you paint with there....Trump got 62 million or so votes.... so are all 62 million of them a racist in your mind? Do tell.

Oh, for pete's sake... That doesn't even make any sense.

If minorities were to prosper, that would mean that they wouldn't be so highly disproportionately enrolled in public assistance programs anymore, so they'd stop taking $$$$$ out of everyone else's paychecks.

and remember, things what you just said are what got Trump elected.
Also, Obama got elected because he was black. Talk about racism.

Obama got elected by a lot of white people, not because he was black but because people wanted change and were tired of Republican rule. My problem with his presidency, and it wasn’t really his fault, was that the media felt they could barely criticize an historic president and everyone who disagreed with him was called racist. To me, treating him different for fear of being called racist is itself an act of racism. It implies that he’s extra special and above reproach that other presidents would have simply because of his race. He was given a handicap.

He was given a MUCH lower bar to clear. It's called the "soft" bigotry of low expectations, and the MSM was by far the most guilty of that bigotry.
