    Ok, here are some pages to ponder, if you choose.,..the second makes it seem to me that you cannot run for VP if you are ineligible by the Constitution to be President.
    So, I may be wrong.

    Why yes it is. And I didn't bring up the Bush administration -- you did. All I'm saying is what's legal and what's done in a Clinton way isn't always parallel.

    OK, so you were 12 at that time.

    And you were (blank) at the time. Your point is?
    If you want me to walk you through why Whitewater was illegal I can bring up the case with a simple google search.

    I get the sense you wouldn't even know what Whitewater was without a Google search, yet you casually bring it up as though it's supposed to mean something.

    I thought the Clintons were cleared in the Whitewater mess.

    I bring it up because it's the a part of the basis for my distrust for Hillary. Now you might like her, that's fine, but it's one reason why I think she's a slim. And they were cleared, but 14 other people were convicted including Jim Tucker, Bill's successor in Arkansas...you don't think the Clintons had anything to do with it?

    Yeah, but then it got a little sticky for Bill and Hillary in the Lewinsky scandal.

    They were. Ken Starr wasted way more of the government's money trying to dig up dirt and smear the Clintons than anybody ever made on the deal to begin with.

    And that was it, it wasn't a lot of money, and that's what cleared them, but what they did was still wrong and illegal and I think it deserves to be mentioned against Hillary.

    And he apparently succeeded based on what people seem to believe about Whitewater.

    Um, they weren't found to have done anything illegal.

    By what standards were their activities illegal? Certainly not the government's.
