    Almost every day Hillary sinks further and further due to all her scandals. I'm not sure she'll even be able to run at the rate she is going. I TRULY hope that justice will be served. NOBODY is above the law and from the sounds of it, she mishandled top secret information which means that America's national security information was put in GRAVE danger. Anybody that does that, should have charges brought against them and they should possibly even face prison time as a traitor. But I suppose she'll just get a slap on the wrists, (although it could cost her the nomination) because D.C. protects their own. This is SO foolish. What if something really terrible happens to our homeland and it gets traced back to Hillary? Do the families of those in D.C. have to be harmed in order for them to wake up and see that our laws must be followed? Why is it so hard for them to see that right is right and wrong is wrong (and against the law)...

    It's so funny (not really) that her defenders bring up the fact that past secretaries and other officials many years ago would apparently do at least some business on Yahoo or Microsoft email or whatever. They fail to mention that none of her successors had their own private servers installed their own homes the way she did - in an obvious effort by her to avoid Congressional oversight and FOIA regs... and for who knows what other reasons? This of course violated official Obama admin policy, and she probably violated numerous laws during that time as well.

    It's also funny that Hillary and co expect us to believe that in all 4 years she served as secretary and used her own private email exclusively, she neither sent nor received a SINGLE classified email during the normal day to day course of doing her job? :D

    Hillary Clinton isn't that bad why are people so against her? She's actually risen to the top on her own merits, the e-mail thing was just bad decision making but it shouldn't reflect on her policies or her stand on climate change. People are getting worked up for nothing I know she'll be a good President if she wins.

    Even if one can get past the decades of sleaze from the Clintons, this scandal is serious. As in possibly many felonies serious. As in classified information may been royally mishandled serious. Why do you think the FBI is involved now?

    She wouldn't have gotten to where she is now without Bill. Be that as it may, many of us don't give a rip about what one's stand is on climate change if they are in gross violation of federal law and security standards.

    If she ends up in a 6-by-8 cell, the presidency isn't happening. Innocent until proven guilty, for sure. And the Clintons have a knack for surviving political scandals, but this one has just begun ...

    I know plenty of people who are not fans of Clinton, but it's true that she has the financial and general support backing her. At this point, she can come to her own demise, however. She has to be careful with what she says, due to the idea that she will be held under a microscope.

    Apparently, Bloomberg has been encouraged to run, hopefully under the Republican ballot, but only time will tell who else joins the race!

    Hahahaha, Apollonian...."Got there on her own merits", really? She stood by her cheating, philandering husband, and now feels like America owes her the presidency. The Clinton's lie and deceive with such ease it's scary. They are the epitome of what is wrong with the American political system. Let's not forget about how easily they used donations to their foundation to give the donors an advantage with the US Gov. Sad, so sad that the same party that elected Obama (thinking he was ushering in some new era of politics) would even consider Hillary.

    If Biden runs, I'm sure Obama will give him the full weight of his political apparatus to help him catch up.

    Interesting tidbit (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/murdoch-trump-serious-candidate-article-1.2335238). Just think, we could have a nationwide ban on large sodas and an implementation of a full blown nanny state. New Yorkers would probably vote for Bloomberg just to get him out of town. :rolleyes: The RNC would go into full tilt mode. Bwahahaha. Can't make it up.

    There is a newly released poll that illustrates the public's perception of Hillary: Poll: Voters Overwhelmingly Think Hillary Is A Liar

    "Liar" is the number one word that first came to mind. There are some other choice ones too such as dishonest, untrustworthy, phony, corrupt, the B word, etc. It looks like her behavior is finally catching up with her.
