10. Ignore history at your own risk.

In 1917-1918 in Turkey Armenians were systematically murdered. Which Democratic Candidate opposed calling that "Genocide"? Who was lobbied through their email server by Turkish officials? Most importantly as a decidedly not liberal 1930's-1940's European Politician remarked who remembers the murder of the Armenians?

It is the needless self serving secrecy, arrogance in the face of poor judgement, and use of office to turn a profit that overwhelms and always murky enough to be legal.

Limousine liberal indeed.
