....victory eluded Hillary in 2008...now her 2016 run is marked by mistakes, gaffes and reports of ethical corner-cutting.
Once viewed as a smart, passionate woman whose brilliance would shine when she was liberated, she is, at 67, getting long in the tooth to be talked of in terms of "potential." After 25 years in the circus, she’s still a celebrity guest, not a star performer. Instead she’s running the Rose Garden strategy of a favored incumbent. She’s still giving paid speeches, believing she can float above it all like a giant balloon in the Thanksgiving Day parade....she sees herself as president-in-waiting w/ a reported 200 advisers, suggesting she’s staffing an administration.
....but any more revelations about the Clinton Foundation’s sleazy fund-raising could change her mind. The Clinton foundation accepted millions from foreign governments while Hillary was America’s top diplomat, The Washington Post said one gift of $500,000 from Algeria violated loose ethics rules drawn up by the Obama administration to separate her duties from the foundation.
WSJ found a suspicious pattern of corporate giving. GE, Exxon Mobil, Microsoft and Boeing were among 60 companies that lobbied her State Dept during and donated a combined $26 million to the Clinton family foundation....her lobbying of foreign governments on behalf of specific American firms came just before or after those firms made hefty donations to the Clinton Foundation or another nonprofit Hillary created, "Vital Voices." Walmart gave to both groups, and to a separate fund Clinton established at the State Dept.
Most of the corporations have their own foundations, so why would they give their money to the Clintons to spend? Who suggested they do so?
Any claim that there was no quid pro quo should be made under oath.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.We are fast approaching the point...and maybe have already *passed* the point...where the takers (those who are a net *drain* on the Treasury) outnumber the producers (those who are net *contributors* to the Treasury).
Bengazi (sp?) ended any chance the beast ever had of being elected to anything. The beast’s career died in Libya.
The big problem for the Republican/conservative/libertarian side is that almost everyone on the planet has heard of Hillary, but less than 5% have ever heard of any Republican candidate except for "Bush". The name "Clinton" is associated with 8 years of (relative) peace, (relative) prosperity, and sex with younger women. That's going to be difficult to surmount. I wonder about Hillary's health, but I doubt the media will find that as interesting as asking the Republican candidates countless inane questions.

All of these issues that would destroy any GOP candidate are meaningless. When half the population is supported by taxpayers, they know the candidate who will make promises and keep them on the gravy train.
Sure hope you’re wrong about Fauxcahontas & the Dem nomination.
Liz Warren is so far left she’s spooky, but hides it behind that grandmotherly facade.
If nominated, she’ll choose Bernie Sanders for her running mate, in order to achieve ideological balance (no joke).
They’ll have every welfare mooch & entitlement person voting for them & that’s when we really find out that as El Rushbo said, there are now in America more takers than makers.
Hillary aka The Flying Buttress or Jabba the Hut is eminently more beatable, IMO.
I've never seen a more perfect summation of Killary.
“I’ve been saying it for month...Princess Liawatha will be the Rat Party nominee.”
Just a month? I’ve been saying squaw spreading bull will be the nominee for almost two years
Who suggested they do so?
Sounds like it was an or else deal don’t use the word bribe.
