Look at Trumps latest attacks. He was impeached, do you think this won't be an issue? If Hillary is the nominee, he is back in the White House. Good luck with that.

She cares about herself and being the first female 'something'

Too bad Sandra Day O'Connor nabbed that spot on the SC

And too, too, bad Madeleine Albright got to be first at SoS

Nothing left to be 'first at' except POTUS.

Follow rules? Care about National Security?

All are trivial in this person's pursuit for her own glory.

By hook and or by crook she'll trudge on knowing full well we're on to her but she doesn't give a damn. All she cares about is being the first Woman President.

Bernie could never win a general...did you see what Fox did to his campaign guy? Bernie would be painted as the second coming of Stalin and then there is the messy personal stuff.

Nixon: Well, when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.

Frost: By definition.

Nixon: Exactly, exactly. If the president, for example, approves something because of the national security, or in this case because of a threat to internal peace and order of significant magnitude, then the president's decision in that instance is one that enables those who carry it out, to carry it out without violating a law. Otherwise they're in an impossible position.

Thu May 26, 2016, 09:40 AM
May 2016

Because dreams and visions are
But vain imaginings and lies,
...
The suns of five years have rolled past,
Since that love-filled month of May
in which I dreamed this dream.
O joyful month, that draws all
Nature to happiness and pleasure;
Bush and tree put on the dress of spring
A dress of leaves that have so long in buds
Reposed, covered from the light of day,
While woods and thickets don their
Splendid coats of green.

The next POTUS is too important for a vanity candidate who is most strong in identity politics.

Folks are so locked into the idea of Hillary Clinton as a woman POTUS and her supposed championship of woman and minorities that to me Clinton's strong supporters seem blind to what Clinton's record and rhetoric say about her qualifications to be POTUS and CIC.
