It's creepy that she was the best the Democrats could do.

Yes it is. No doubt about that. I myself would have hoped that Joe Biden had stepped in and made the primary run. But with the death of his son and his long mourning time - that simply was not in the cards.

I would say that on her worst day - Clinton is ten times better as a presidential prospect than Trump could ever dream to be.
 

I am not sure about the multiple, but she is less abysmal than the guy the Republicans nominated. But that doesn't mean much at all.

At least if Hillary wins we will have answered one important question:

As a country we will have decided where corruption and lying fits into our government landscape - in the White House.

So now we can stop complaining about it! Hell, it might even rate a cabinet post.
 

You might want to look into the Cabinet members who served President Warren Harding.
 

There are several, and the same special interests have served Bush, Obama and now back Hillary.
 
I don't think any of the mentioned presidents were quite so "in your face" about it. Plus, they grew into it while in office rather than campaigned on it as if "it's just me".

BTW. Earlier wrongdoing does not excuse future wrongdoing.
 

Want to hear something depressing?

The only way the Democrat party would make that decision, to run a candidate as bad and openly corrupt and dishonest as Hillary Clinton is that they KNOW they're going to win in November.

For whatever reason they're absolutely confident that she'll some how eak out a victory.
 
For "whatever reason?"

I'd say that reason is the person they're running against.

That "person" was probably another Establishment fix from the beginning...or so I have been hearing for months now.

I'm not sure if I should be looking for my tin foil hat or not.
 

I think it depends on what you want done. If you want to bust out the United States she'd be the best by far.

I don't feel like the GOP rigged things in favor of Trump.
 
If Hillary is elected, can we then go back and absolve Nixon of his lying, after all it will be a totally acceptable practice.

maybe Nixon short-circuited when he told those fibs.

I don't follow what this article has to do with Clinton becoming President. Can you explain?
 

You set a low bar and it is still disputable. Pretty funny.

Putting a corporation deeply in debt, to the point that it collapses, in order to enrich you and your friends with no intention of paying it back, then leaving the honest owners holding the bag. That's what the Clintons and the Democrats are doing to the US.
 

And your evidence of this claim would be what exactly?

The actual facts comparing the Trump economic plan to the plans of Clinton do not support your claim.

​Donald Trump's budget plan would add $10 trillion in debt - CBS News


Based on this evidence it is evident that your charge fits Trump far far far better than it does Clinton.
 

See, on Trump's worst day, I've yet to hear about murders and suicides and scandals surrounding his campaign and life. I guess my standards are just different than yours.
 

Very, very true. The collapse will be imminent at some point if we do not take back control of our spending and debt and social programs. I just don't understand why people who support Obama and Hillary don't address this. You cannot continue to provide for programs you simply have no money for. I'm not an economist - but what they are doing is kinda like "hey, I can't be out of money, I still have checks left." Just does not make sense. And many will reply, but Trumps plan is going to do ........and they state a hole bunch of stuff they've been fed by the media.

This might happen or it might not, we don't know. But we do know what Obama has done - it is written in stone and national debt. And we do know that Hillary wants to do the same thing only add more social programs to the agenda. So - we do kinda know what will happen even if we don't want to accept it.
 

Are you under some kind of impression that Republicans... don't do this? Are you under some kind of impression that Trump wouldn't do exactly this?
