Hillary's meetings with the leaders of top corporations combined with the donations to the Clinton Foundation, the payments for speeches by Bill Clinton and then the campaign donations??????
If Hillary were a Republican candidate, the Hillary fans would be the first to say this was socialism for the corporations, otherwise known as Fascism or corruption.
Hillary fans: Open your eyes. Look at Hillary like as though she were any other candidate. What you would see is CORRUPTION or the stench and appearance thereof.
Why choose a candidate who is going to face a barrage of criticism and innuendo because of the potential corruption charges (hopefully, just in a potential preidential campaign not in a court) to which she has exposed herself?
It is crazy to support Hillary after these facts have come to light. The Republicans will, and appropriately so, have a hey-day with them.
Hey. They successfully made Jimmy Carter look like a loser. They impeached Bill Clinton. They slander Obama whose administration is as clean as any in the last couple of centuries constantly. What will they do to Hillary?
Don't vote for Hillary, at least not in the primary.
Votes for Hillary in the primary are wasted votes. She is not going to be able to explain this even if she did nothing wrong. It's just going to be devastating for her.
I'm sorry but she should have known better. Either you have a foundation and your husband accepts speaking fees from big corporations OR you run for president. You can't have it all, and Hillary is trying to have it all. That will not work.
