    If they're going to try to get rid of Hillary, I think she's got enough shadiness that they'd keep trying to find some scandal to pin on her and get rid of her through legal or political means. It seems like there's always going to be something, whether it's (pardon the pun) trumped up or not.
    Hillary is a bad person and slimier than a salted slug, but at her core she's a garden variety politician and a rather aimless one at that. She's doesn't have any grand plans to fundamentally alter the country. She's not personally offensive to people the way Trump is. She inspires disgust, not hatred and fear, and that's a very big distinction.

    None of these candidates is worthy. That's the real problem here.

    I dunno, you turn on screech radio for five minutes and you'll hear people who sound pretty inflamed about HRC.

    People have been trying to do this for the last three years and the best they've come up with is Benghazi!, e-mail server! and Wall St speeches! It reeks of desperation. What makes you think that all of a sudden there's going to be something once she's in office?

    If President Trump is assassinated, it will be by someone who currently supports him. The first time he makes a "deal" that doesn't satisfy the dark underbelly of his fan base, it will turn on him.

    It really amazes me that we still hear regularly about Benghazi(!) It is certainly tragic that 4 Americans died, but thousands of Americans have died from our mistakes and oversights over the past two centuries. I really, honestly don't get it.

    People need to Google "Reagan Beirut" before we have further serious discussion on the topic.

    They don't need to make anything stick to make her ineffective. As other members of her party once said, the accusation is enough.
    Besides, there wouldn't be witch hunts if there weren't witches to hunt. Or something. The Benghazi thing can be written off as a lapse in judgment and a peril of leadership. The e-mail server scandal, to me, seems more serious because it shows carelessness with security in a position of power, after her husband also allowed foreign governments (namely the Chinese) to have unwise access to secrets and technology.
    The Wall Street speeches show hypocrisy, but it's been Bernie Sanders and other Democrats hammering her on that, and not so much the Republicans. The Republicans are taking jabs, while her opponents in the Democrat party are throwing haymakers.
    Taken together, her 25-year track record should at least raise an eyebrow that she's not the paragon of virtue some of her supporters make her out to be.

    Well, good luck with that. You're in a for a huge disappointment.
