[quote=SK in CV] . . . . She’s been accused of scores of things that either never happened, or what she did do has been twisted into something that wasn’t even close to the truth. Yet she stands there and still takes it. She doesn’t lose her cool. And she is always prepared.
Yeah, she stood by her husband. Trump never had a wife that thought he was good enough to fight for. If anyone thinks faults shared by Trump and Clinton make them equal, they’ve missed a lot. Those faults are the worst thing about Bill Clinton. They don’t even make the top 10 for Trump.
And yeah, I threw up a little bit as I typed that line. But that doesn’t mean they’re not true.[/quote]
She’s not squeaky clean. She’s a scrapper and frankly, does have a lot of “stamina.” But that doesn’t make her a girl scout. In my opinion, the cattle futures trading issue was HIGHLY unlikely to have been legit. She made the equivalent of $330,000 in 2016 dollars in *10 months* on a $3000 (in 2016 dollars) investment. Many of the investment laws and regs were not scrupulously followed, although that was not terribly unusual at the time. From wikipedia: “The editor of the Journal of Futures Markets said in April 1994, “This is like buying ice skates one day and entering the Olympics a day later. She took some extraordinary risks.”
You seem to have an emotional attachment to Hillary that keeps you from seeing her “warts and all” as the saying goes. There are no politicians out there that are worth quoting Elton John over. They have their goals, and we vote for the ones whose goals come closest to ours. But that doesn’t make any of them Mother Theresa.
