It seems very suspicious to me, as do Hillary's responses which have turned out to be untrue. For example, she said, "I thought it would be easier if I had just one device for both personal and business". Then Comey testifies she used "several devices". She set up a private Email server in her basement closet for God sakes. Quite extraordinary indeed. How can you not be suspicious? And then she paid an outside high tech computer firm to wipe the server so that according to Comey, "it left only fragments which were incomprehensible". She didn't delete the Emails. That only removes the pointer. She paid a firm to eviscerate the data on the emails. Deleting does not do this, it just disables the files. In order to wipe the server clean you have to have technical expertise. She paid a firm to do this. But Why? Very, very suspicious, and I think that is being very charitable to her. And why set up a private email server in a basement closet to conduct state department business in the first place. Just extraordinary! There have been others that have used private email for work (I couldn't do that) but the difference is they would never even dream of the server in the closet thing. It's just wild. And then paying someone to wipe it clean.
What a dilemma we have. On the one hand, a candidate that talks like a middle school playground bully. And on the other, a scandal ridden woman ready for her second avalanche of scandals two decades later. That and making tens of millions from Speaking fees in places like Russia, and middle eastern countries where women have no rights and where homosexuality is punishable by death. What did those countries get back? They must have gotten something? I don't think it should be allowed. And oh, I forgot, Wall Street. Tens of millions from Wall Street firms. So much for the rhetoric from the left and the Clintons about Wall Street and income inequality. Where does Chelsea work? Who did she marry? She married into a prominent Wall Street family. How about Bill's statement the last time around. "We need to pay more attention to Main Street and less to Wall Street". It's bogus rhetoric. He took credit for destroying welfare, thus admitting that the republicans were right about the issue all along. NAFTA and CAFTA which create income inequality. Politics is such a game. Current immigration policy creates income inequality (The Johnson "Immigration and Naturalization act of 1965") but it is not politically correct to state that.
Sorry about the length of the post but one of the advantages of having so many scandals is that they get impossible to discuss. It's actually an advantage to have so many because people start getting confused because you can't follow them all. I barely scratched the surface here. She's said just SO MANY things that were not true since this latest wave of scandals broke you cannot even begin to cover them all. Oh and I also find the timing of her concussions very suspicious and. . . . . .

You spent 98% of your post on her scandals and 2% on the racist bully. I wonder where your support is going?
I think Trump is ill equipped for presidential politics but don't you think racist is a bit harsh. The comment about Mexicans are drug dealers was crazy and racist but he has gotten off of that to just "protect the border" which all Presidents do. I'm certainly not voting for him. Most of his ideas are actually not that way off, and have been expressed by Democrats too, but the way he expresses them is way off. He looks and sounds ridiculous. He's like a caricature of a politician. A caricature of himself. Maybe tomorrow I'll spend some time bashing him. Another thread perhaps.

Fair enough and I agree we don't have a qualified candidate. Bad situation.
Hillary is the lesser of two evils, by a wide margin imo. If the Republicans dump Trump and present a moderate candidate I will vote for him/her.
Growing up, I was a always a Republican; everyone there was. But then you get out in the real world and you realize nothing is as simple as "you pull yourself up by your own bootstraps". What if the bootstraps aren't there? After some experience I switched to the other major party but quickly realized there was little substantive difference. It's just different rhetoric and the Democrats rhetoric mostly "sounds" different. But their policies are really much the same, especially when it comes to policies which exacerbate disparities in household income.
As I've gotten older, I've realized more and more just how silly and stupid politics really is. It's just a game to them and we're the ones getting played. I still have emotional ties to the Republicans sometimes. Crazy! Now it's Trump the Republican who is critical of globalization, and Obama the Democrat who is touting it as "progressive" in his golden throated voice. But globalization hurts people on the margins who lack education and high paid job skills. Do something that actually helps African-Americans that are on the margins, Mr. President, instead of paying lip service to issues. It hasn't helped. The Republicans and Democrats have flip flopped on globalization and nobody seems to have noticed. It's a joke. They believe in nothing.
Hard for me to really agree with the lesser of two evils thing. Why not protest? Don't vote for anyone, or vote third party. Get their attention. Sometime after Obama cut food stamps for food insecure families, I saw one of my students with her family going to a mobile soup kitchen in the late afternoon. It made me feel sick. A perfectly normal kid. Maybe one of her parents lost their job. They looked so much like a normal family and the fact that she was one of my students almost broke my heart. My wife made me tell her what was bothering me that night. Now to be fair, on the food stamps issue, he may have been maneuvered into it by the Republican controlled Congress, but he caved to them. So what's the point in having a Democrat President, if it causes poor people to lose their voice in society. If a Republican had done that all hell would have broken loose. He would have been bashed mercilessly so it never would have happened. But the way it is now, nobody is going to go to bat for them if it is a Democrat President who is pulling the trigger on the policies. If you are the president you become the pride and joy of you're party so in this case the disadvantaged lose their voice, because now even the people who are Democrats won't criticize the right wing policy. Now I'm not saying vote for the Republican either. Don't do that. But if you protest by voting third party, they will have to pay attention and adjust.

'Hillary is the lesser of two evils' Ctbill....
She is a pathological liar who will say or do ANYTHING to advance her wild desire to become the first female President...She was one of the most inept Secretary of State ever who was in completely over her head and was out maneuvered to a point of endangering our National security...Her ''Which way is the wind blowing'' politics is a revealing way to her self above all mindset...She but for the shameful protection given her by the 'Deep left' would be facing an indictment and jail time...
Millions have been spent along with hundreds of investigators looking into Trumps past...So far they have found nothing...They will shout ''Bankruptcy'' a perfectly legal procedure that must work its way through the courts...They have tried to make the word 'Bombastic' appear evil when even one of our finest Presidents ''Teddy Roosevelt'' fit the word to a ''T''...What is next? He soiled his diapers as a child??
And then those brainwashed that have no mind of their own have the stupidity to find that Trump is the worst of two evils...
Was a investigation ever made of what was in the air during the millennium generation...Was it a gullibility germ??? Or just plain stupidity infected air...
I do not believe that I have ever expressed my political leanings on this board. Suffice it to say that in my senior year at Iona (1972-1973) I was President of the Young Republicans and Co-Chairman of Young Voters for the President. In every federal election since my first vote in 1972 I voted for the Republican candidate. I have voted for Democrats in local elections. I can say that if I could change one of my votes it would be my vote for Richard Nixon in 1972. This is not because of Watergate, but for his actions in the cover-up of the break-in. He should have resigned or been convicted on his impeachment.
However, it was his actions prior to the 1968 election in interfering with the Viet Nam war peace attempts as they related to the bombings of North Viet Nam, which came to light in 2013, that truly make me regret my vote for him. Had his actions become public then, he could have (and should have) been convicted of treason. It would have likely resulted in a Constitutional crisis bigger than Watergate. God only knows how many Americans died due to his meddling, just so he could get elected POTUS.
Under no circumstances will I ever vote for Hillary Clinton. I am quite certain that if I had done 1/100th of what she did with classified information I would be standing before a Federal Judge. My clearance is nowhere near her level, but she got away with far greater breaches of her oath to protect such information than did a couple of ex-servicemen prosecuted by the Obama Justice Department (who are ex-servicemen now only because of their unintentional mishandling of classified information). Her past, including, but not limited to, Whitewater, the Rose law firm matters, her attacks on women who accused her husband of sexual harassment, Benghazi, and her mishandling of classified information, disqualify her from serving as our President in my opinion.
And what is my choice? Donald Trump. When all of the Republicans threw their hats in the ring this year, I felt that I could support any of them – except Trump and Cruz. Is Trump qualified? Constitutionally, yes – he’s a natural citizen and is over 35 years of age. But is someone who was fortunate enough to be born here and who has lived more than 35 years a good reason to elect someone POTUS? Not to my mind. As far as I am concerned Trump is as much a liar and opportunist as Clinton. Trump is on record years ago of being firmly pro-choice, now he’s firmly pro-life; he was once on record as saying that the 2nd amendment needed to be limited, now he’s Mr. NRA. He sways with the breeze. There are other examples of his changing core opinions, but none come close to his statement in 2008 that “Hillary Clinton would be a fine President or Vice-President of the United States”.
As far as I am concerned Trump is a bully – and I’m not talking “speak softly and carry a big stick” – I’m talking a name calling bully. Just because he can talk loud does not mean that he’s making any sense. How many times did he tell people on the debate stage that he was going to sue them or call them names? Is that what I want in a President? Hell no! He can never admit being wrong.
That BS move in claiming that the Federal Judge who has ruled against him on a couple of motions in the Trump University case was prejudiced because he had a Mexican background. Listen to this, Don, just because you lose a motion or two does not mean the judge is biased against you. Motions for Summary Judgment are seldom granted. I am certain that if his lawyers thought the judge needed to recuse himself they’d have filed a motion. They didn’t. I am sure they told Trump to keep his mouth shut about the judge (all lawyers tell their clients not to discuss their case in public). Trump couldn’t, he had to run his mouth. And before he accused the judge of being “Mexican”, he should have looked up the fact that the judge was born in the U.S. and that as a prosecutor prosecuting the Mexican drug cartel, the judge was forced to live on a secret military base for more than a year to protect him from being assassinated by the cartel. A real “Mexican”, indeed, Donny.
He even has excuses for the bankruptcies that he filed – hell, nothing is ever your fault Mr. Drumpf.
I just cannot believe that out of all the millions of people in this country, the major parties give us Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. How far we have fallen! This Chicago song from 1975 seems appropriate now:
As I said, I regret my first vote. I will not live to regret my vote in 2016. I will vote for a Republican. I will write in the candidate I voted for in the Virginia primary – John Kasich.
It's time for term limits. I would propose: POTUS one 6 year term; Senator two 4 year terms; Representative three 2 year terms. The Founding Fathers must be rolling in their graves seeing how these idiots have made elections lifetime jobs. Actually, we are the idiots who keep re-electing them.
I apologize for the rant. So as to give this post some social redeeming value:

Z give me Kasich this week and I will vote for him too. And I agree a four year term for a president is too short. One six year term sounds about right.

LOL, well one thing they found was a $25,000 payment by Trump to the Florida Attorney General's campaign while she was investigating allegations of fraud against Trump University. Another thing they found was Trump University itself, which is the subject of many civil fraud suits and allegations. And its only July. I expect you'll be hearing more about Mr. Trump. If you think Trump is anything more than a conman and a huckster, as William Weld, Libertarian candidate for VP called him, you have been duped big time. Talk about brainwashed and gullible. If you're voting for Trump, you fit it to a "t", no pun intended. Holy smokes.

BTW OT I see you often making psychological diagnosis on the board here. You describe Hillary Clinton as a pathological liar. Do you know what a pathological liar is? That is someone who lies habitually, out of habit as a natural response. They lie even when there is nothing personal for them to gain from lying. Is that your description of Hillary Clinton? She would lie about something, even if it produced no benefit to her?
