For Hillary Clinton, political life has brought a series of trials and tribulations. The repeated embarrassments of her husband’s infidelities. A failed first presidential campaign. The ceaseless – and to her supporters, baseless – investigations into her tenure as the country’s top diplomat.

Clinton didn’t mention any of this during her speech to the black parishioners at a Baptist church here Sunday. But the theme of perseverance was threaded through the remarks she delivered two days after the FBI said it was examining additional emails related to her private email server.

Satan knows scripture, too. Is the church going to lose its tax-exempt status now?

I’d like to suffer with 24/7 secret service protection in a $10,000,000,000 house and people tripping over themselves to throw money at me..
It’s almost the same as picking cotton or hanging from a cross..

“...And character produces hope”

What a stupid analogy. What the hell does character have to do with hope? Character can be defined as a personality trait either good or bad. How does that produce hope?

You’re right. She should use Koran instead.

Misquoting Scripture. Don’t think she should anger God anymore than she already has.

So she went to a Baptist church with Mimosa-alcohol-breath (from her prior visit to a gay bar early the same morning), and then hid behind scripture? Desperation?
