Probably for the same reason the left gave Obama a free pass for increasing our debt by nearly 10 trillion dollars.
Same reason Clinton supporters have been turning a blind eye to the many misdeeds of the Clintons.
The groupie mentality. It's our rockstar and we love our rockstar. Our rockstar is perfect and we hate anyone who disagrees with us.
The left screamed when Bush involved us in 2 wars, then cheered as Obama added to it.

The left screamed that Bush lied. The left has no problem with Obama and Clinton lies. Like the youtube video caused Benghazi... LOL

As someone else said the hypocrisy is amazing. I wish that people would hold their own party to the same level of accountability slitty as they do their opposite.

In a court of law, you will NEVER win if your only defense is that your crime wasn't as bad as somebody else's. Why is that defense acceptable to Trump supporters and why do they continue to think it will work?
Lol..that Trump is guilty of WHAT exactly?

What are these crimes of which there is evidence that Trump should be charged over, nevermind guilty of? You people are an emotional sense of political entitlement looking for a target.

I understand your confusion. You must not have gotten the memo from the left.

The term guilt before a trial only applies to Trump, gun owners, LEO's, and military personnel. All others like Hillary for example are innocent until proven guilty multiple times.

It's called hypocrisy.....
It's called "whataboutism". We're capable of addressing one thing at a time. Nor do all people that are critical of Trump feel the same about HRC.


And are they the "same thing"? I don't see a lot of overlap in the things HRC was being investigated for and what Trump is being investigated for.


Lastly: two wrongs have never made a right. Even if you really feel HRC "got away with something" (which is certainly VERY debatable...I mean, how many times have people investigated her???), that is never a justification for bad behavior by someone else.


The election was nearly 2 years ago now...let's stay on topic.

I've seen very, very, very few say "Yes, it was a mistake to vote for Hillary". Even after knowing she cheated to win the nomination so why would anyone expect Trump supporters to be any different?

I do, too.

You do understand that the invasion of Iraq was off the books? Obama saw it as a liability and put it on the books. That's part of that deficit.

It wasn't off the books. Bush argued that it should be but it never was. Bush certainly deserve scorn for arguing that.
