36. Is Obama's appointee to head up the FBI now part of the "vast right wing conspiracy"? How about

May 2016

Judge Emmet Sullivan who was appointed by Bill Clinton - is he part of the "vast right wing conspiracy," too?

If there are more unfavorable news stories about Hillary than other candidates, it may be because she is the only candidate under FBI investigation and the only candidate whose breach of the FOIA has resulted in the State Department being sued over three dozen times for intentional violations of the law. Hillary's biggest problems are of Hillary's own making.

Also, what do you think libertarians believe? Generally, libertarians want a smaller role for government and progressives (like Sanders) want a bigger role for government. If you think Sanders supporters are generally libertarians, you may need to go back and do a little more research on that thesis.
