    No one on earth has ever accused Hillary of being emotional... let alone emotionally unstable.

    Well, Trump is a racist who is unfit and unprepared for the office of POTUS... so, it makes perfect sense.


    He is 70 (happy birthday, scumbag) and acts like he is 13.

    Yes, that is the truth and even more reason to think he wouldn't get anything done is the fact that 90% of politicians both republican and democrat loathe him.

    The President is as powerful or more powerful than the sum of the 538 members of Congress and is the Commander and chief of the world's strongest and most lethal military... and the soul trigger of an Earth ending Nuclear arsenal.


    The office of the POTUS isn't something you hand out to the guy with funny hair from the reality TV show because you think he makes funny tweets.

    Not really. Her voting record is consistently agreeable. These "scandals" feel like mountains out of molehills.

    no, they're all fairly run-of-the-mill political scandals... most of them ginned up/overblown.

    plus it's been 30 years - people already have an impression of hrc. (trump is new, which is exciting, but he's also sooo untested/unpredictable. )

    run of the mill scandals that are just overblown? Disagree man.

    I didnt realize that compromising sensitive data on her private server with no permission is run of the mill

    Also, again, you are forgetting that there is a whole generation of voters that are too young to know anything about these scandals. A lot of this is new information to them. Sure, some of it is worse than others, but when there is stuff like whitewater, benghazi, the 1994 crime bill, etc, its not really overblown imo its all bad stuff and not easy to write off.

    Trump's APPEAL is that he's untested/unpredictable. This isn't about qualifications or experience anymore.

    There's no fire to most of these though lol. Perhaps it was unethical, but nothing tangible resulted from her using a private server. There was precedent for it. the only reason why republicans keep tlaking about it is the hope there's a smoking gun somewhere. this has been exhausted and still, the only controversy is hypothetical for the most part. It's the same as Benghazi -- spin how you want, but there's a reason why conservatives have let go of the issue, finally. in the end, these issues only feed a narrative of insinuation. not saying hrc isn't culpable... but there's just nothing there.

    i just dont see what would resonate with a millennial voter on whitewater sry lol. even the crime bill, yeah some progressives are mad... but is there anything THAT damning to disqualify her for being president? when i think scandal i think constitutional crises that undermine our country's framework -- watergate, even iran contra. or matters of gross incompetence that resulted in the death of many americans -- katrina, iraq. maybe death of 241 marines in beirut. but hrc's emails? no.

    Why do people keep saying that the emails aren't a big deal and that theres nothing there? We don't know that until the FBI concludes their investigation. I mean, theres a reason shes being investigated, dude. Its not a witch hunt just because Bill Clinton says so. She did something wrong here.

    here is whats not up for dispute:

    She compromised sensitive data to russian and chinese hackers

    She did not have permission to use a private email server, despite her constant lies that she did have permission

    She broke national security rules

    lol breitbart. lol op ed. even if she "broke rules" theres nothing criminal here. refer back to my previous post about this been rly puffed out. hrc's poor judgement isnt this insidious scandal gop wants it to be. sec powell did it -- i think the real issue is since nixon, the opposition party has become obsessed with painting galvanizing public figures as explosive criminals. its soo over the top. wheres the smoking gun? ill take hrc's record over trumps, easy call. are you voting for gary johnson?

    Condi Rice used a personal email for confidential email...

    Colin Powell used his aol account for confidential email...



    This was during 9/11, the invasion of Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq, the Anthrax killer (never brought to justice), major operations in Afghanistan, major operations in Iraq, negotiations with Gaddafi and the "War on Terrorism."


    Should Condi Rice and Colin Powell be indicted?

    Is there a way to know if your aol.com account was hacked? There are probably people at aol that make just above minimum wage that have access to your account.


    If you want to be credible... and not feel stupid I suggest you stop reading the gateway pundit.


    Google "Jim Hoft dumbest man on Internet" to find out why.
