    Funny. I remain much more bothered by what Trump has said AND done than what Hillary has allegedly done with no proof what-so-ever. To each their own I suppose.

        "When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. She couldn’t even get a vote in a Democratic controlled Congress. Her fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.


        Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood. Both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.

        Next she chose Janet Reno. Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas, resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children. Even Bill Clinton later described the selection of Reno as “my worst mistake.”

        Next, Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

        Apparently a slow learner, Bill then let Hillary make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (supposedly) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

        Many younger voters have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson, but the White House Travel Office refused to comply. Hillary managed to have the Travel Office staff reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a 36-month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime, of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him in less than two hours.

        Still not convinced of her ineptness, Bill next allowed Hillary to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House Security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, Hillary and Bill suddenly denied even knowing Livingstone and of drug use in the White House. Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than 30 years of service to 7 presidents.

        Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:
        Hillary urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation, they settled with Ms. Jones.

        Hillary refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs. Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.

        Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.

        After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen."

          LMAO!!! I do so love lists like that so much innuendo and out of context-ness and twisted facts. The woman who has been investigated more than the JFK assassination, Watergate and 9-11 put together and yet has never even been charged with anything much less indicted...she is either the SMARTEST criminal genius ever or "there's no there, there", either way, she has my vote!

          If anyone is interested in some FACTS about Hillary here is a cut and paste I wrote months ago and keep on my desktop...
          I am voting for Hillary Clinton because she has been politically active since she was a middle schooler. I am voting for her because she has taken leadership roles since high school. I am voting for her because she went to college a Republican like her parents and left a Democrat because she didn't just accept what was fed to her but instead went out and found her own truth and then dedicated her life to it. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because after MLK was assassinated she organized a protest on her college campus that led to a change in fair hiring practices there. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because she spent her college and law school summers doing things like working with migrant workers and registering Latinos to vote in Texas. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because after law school she went to work for the Children's Defense fund instead of a big law firm. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because she went undercover in the deep south to expose private schools who were still practicing segregation. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because when she sat on the board at Walmart she was, according to Sam Walton, a "thorn in his side when it came to women and worker's rights". I am voting for Hillary Clinton because while sitting on many boards and working as a lawyer when her husband was Governor of Arkansas she ALSO championed a preschool program that has since spread to 26 states and fought for juvenile justice reform in the south as well as many other things like that. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as FLOTUS she championed healthcare and programs for women and children and pushed for recognition of Gulf War Syndrome when everyone else was ignoring it. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because she went to China and declared women's rights were human rights. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as a Senator she never stopped fighting for equal pay. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as a Senator she fought for healthcare for 9-11 1st responders. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as a Senator she took it to Wall St and the banks before the crash. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because after a hard loss to Obama in 2008 she stood behind him solidly and worked tirelessly to promote his agenda around the world. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as SOS she extended full benefits to same sex partners of US diplomats. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as SOS she stood on the floor of the UN and gave the first speech on global LGBT rights and pushed for a UN commission to address their issues. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because as SOS she brokered a cease fire between Israel and Hamas that lasted nearly a year and put in place the sanctions that brought Iran to the table for the nuclear deal. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because her family foundation has raised and spent billions of dollars to try and make things better here and around the world. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because she has been a tireless voice for the voiceless for almost 50 years when she didn't have to be. She has devoted her life to public service and she has done it while facing some of the most vicious vitriol ever seen in our political arena. She has been investigated more than any other person in our country and has never been found to have done anything criminal and STILL people call her crooked with no basis what-so-ever and instead of turning tail and running to bask in some cushy life she continues to serve. Mother. Lawyer. First Lady. Senator. Secretary of State. I am voting for Hillary Clinton because she is the most qualified and accomplished human being that we have ever had run for President of the United States. I am voting for her and I am doing everything I can to make sure everyone else does too!

            Honestly I posted in reply to you because you quoted me.
            I was hesitant to post at all as I really don't care to engage in a back and forth about who is and who isn't factual.

            I have personal feelings about who I am voting for and why....just as I assume you do.

            The facts I posted are true and factual to those that believe they are.

            The facts you posted are true and factual to those that believe they are.

            I am not out to convince you of anything, nor will I be swayed or convinced of anything different than I believe by your posts.

            Again, to each his/her own.
            Everyone gets a vote.

                I was voting for Bernie. After the leaks about the democratic party essentially screwing him for the election, I have researched and decided to vote for Trump. I am typically a conservative anyway.

                They DID find significant evidence, the FBI chose not to charge her. BIG difference, IMHO.

                My typically liberal town is covered in Hillary for Prison and Trump/pence signs.

                  This may be wrong, but I sort of look at it from the perspective of the government being my business and I am a shareholder who funds it. The current and past behavior of the people who run the day to day of the"business" have been wrong and against the original core principles of the "business" when it was started. It has gotten out of hand and my employees are now employing me in a way. I want control back. I don't want someone who has been a part of the "old business model" and that would include Clinton. I generally vote Libertarian and while my impression of Johnson has been less than enthusiastic, I will most likely vote libertarian on all levels. I am very excited to vote for a local Libertarian in my state, but i am hoping there will be more options in future elections for the party.

                    I already voted.
                    I couldn't stand "her" the first time she lived in the White House and my opinion of her has only gone down from there.
                    I'm a woman who supports Trump.

                          I loathe the way this whole campaign has gone down. It has been the most bitter, loud-mouthed, ridiculous mix of she did-he did that I've ever seen. I wouldn't want to live in any other country but I'm afraid we have become the laughing stock of the world, due to the public circus this whole campaign has put on. The whole thing stinks and I'm not voting for either of them.

                            I find it worrisome that anyone is excited about either of these candidates. That anyone will defend either of them. Blech. They are both two 70 something, insanely wealthy and out of touch, egotistical bullies who wouldn't understand how to run a proper government if someone hit them over the head with the information.

                            We need to go back to how it was in the beginning - when government was a volunteer position and unpaid. That would get rid of much of the corrupt lifers.

                            FWIW, I'm voting Trump. I keep up with the issues and COME ON. She's a crook. Trump is something else, too, but I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I voted for her. Anyone who claims Clinton is some kind of saint... I mean, really. And I'm not pro Trump.

                            If Clinton is the first woman in office (as my inner Austin Powers voice goes, "that's a man, baby!") I weep for women.

                              When was our government ever a volunteer position that was unpaid?

                              ETA: And not for nothing but Hillary just turned 69 last week so she's not a 70 something anything and the something else that Trump is, is a sexual predator.

                                There are political signs for miles around here - but none for president. I guess that tells you how apathetic this area is towards either Trump or Clinton. Either that or too scared to admit that they like one over the other. ::
