    I never understood the hatred for Hilary Clinton either. She may not have had the charisma we seem to elect these days but had a very effective organization. I believe she would have been quite effective

    Was it for ACA? Was it being the first woman with a chance at President? The email thing and the Benghazi thing were mostly slander from the other party and would happen to any candidate.

    Do you really think AOC could survive being tarred and feathered in this political environment, regardless of whether she deserved it?

    Maybe next time around, when Caesar Trump is no longer a possibility and Rhonda Sanity has fallen apart

      Trump won because people didn’t show up to vote for Clinton, because no one is inspired by these people. They were inspired to vote for Biden only because Trump would have been horrible for another four years, not because Biden was what they wanted. If only they showed up to the primaries…

      The Clinton bashing campaign was a Russian active measure (they spent military resources on propaganda operations) designed to keep Obama’s head of the state department out of the presidency while they were planning to invade Ukraine. The emails thing and the Benghazi thing could ONLY have been levied at the former head of the state department. In this political environment, survival is a matter of being able to keep your staff paid.

      Frankly, the precision of your errors makes me doubt their authenticity.
