    What personal gain and power? Sounds like you’ve been drinking that right wing kool aid about Hillary being the literal devil

      What personal gain and power?

      Going down in history forever as the first female US president… Like, you do realize president of the US is a big deal right?

      And there’s nothing that makes moderate Dems sound more like trumpets than claiming any criticism is “fake news propaganda”.

      Like, if you can’t objectively look at Hilary Clinton and understand some people have valid reasons not to like her…

        … So being the right person for a job is a bad thing simply because you’d be the first? Come on.

        You haven’t even laid out any valid criticism.

          Mate, the first qualification for elected office is getting people to vote for you…

          Hillary was so scared of Jeb Bush (a terrible candidate in his own right) that her campaign pumped up lunatics like trump and Ben Carson because they thought she had a chance at beating them.

          https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/hillary-clinton-2016-donald-trump-214428/

          She succeeded at getting trump into the general, but then couldn’t even beat him.

          So how is she “the right person for the job” when the only chance she had to be president was helping a fucking lunatic make it to the general against her… And then losing to that lunatic

          America would have been better off if Hillary had stayed home and we had either Bernie or Jeb Bush as president from 2016-2020 rather than trump.

          I don’t know why you disagree
