Frank, while I appreciate your view, I do not agree with it. I have lived long enough to know whether the good old days are illusion or not. And, having studied history and politics, I have an understanding of the system, its strengths and weaknesses. What it will withstand is hard to determine exactly, but it will not be good to have another 4, and worse 8, years of someone anywhere close to as bad for the republic, our society and values as has been Barrack Obama. Capitalism and our form of democracy are resilient, no doubt, but they are certainly not unbreakable.
I totally disagree with you about Hillary Clinton. Besides holding various positions from First Lady to Secy of State, can you tell me an accomplishment of hers that establishes her credentials besides being a well known face? Name 3 great things she did as a Senator... three major foreign policy accomplishments? I see her more the poster-woman of do much of nothing. Add to that a great potential that she was/is mixed up in a lot of corruption, a proven liar on things both great and small...
All False statements involving Hillary Clinton | PolitiFact
those are just a few. Does not even get into her Benghazi or email deletion lies, her claims at being dead broke at the end of the Clinton presidency nor coming under sniper fire landing in Bosnia nor the silly claims at being named after Sir Edmund Hillary of Mt Everest fame.
I think she has hidden her email account and emails to hide her pay to play schemes, the quid pro quos for 'donations' and speaking fees made by foreign countries and other major entities and laundering the money through the Clinton foundation.
But I guess [ at least to you and her followers ] perhaps, what difference does it make, huh? No offense, I sure do not want someone like that leading me or my country.
