ROFL
Every thing the witch has ever touched has turned to crap!
Benghazi is much better now.
I wonder how Web Hubble’s granddaughter is doing, I understand Web & Hillary are expecting a 2nd grandchild.

“everything Hillary touched she made better”
Tell that to Ambassador Stevens, Bubba
Foster is not better off.
Yup she a proverbial Mother Teresa that Hillary ..
“Everything she touched she made better.”
Starting with the Watergate investigation, moving on to The WH Travel Office, Secret Service morale, Ft. Marcy Park security, American State Dept. compound in Benghazi, cybersecurity at DOS, and on and on...
All better for her touch.
I think the four men who were abandoned and murdered in Benghazi might disagree. HRC is dangerously incompetent.
Better? It doesn’t even have to be “Are you better off than you were 8 years ago?” for Trump. Just 2 words, Libya and Syria. Too easy.
The jokes write themselves.
Ha.
It has been a week since Trump warned the Klintons about using
the war on women on him.
Not a word. A single word from either grifter Klintons about the war on women. Not a Fkn word.
Trump 1. Klintons 0. So far.
This explains Bill defective hinky.
“Everything she touched, she made better,” he said.
yea, for jihadists. See Libya.
