Yes Clinton was cleared of any wrong doing by the FBI after year plus investigation and God knows what was in those emails. Regardless it looks incredibly inappropriate. If only this was a normal election and the Republicans chose someone America could stand behind, this would be no race, but it s not. The cold hard facts are the GOP got hijacked by a vocal loud group who wanted change so bad that they hooked their wagon to the worst possible candidate, in Donald Trump. I'm not sure I have seen anything like this in any election, American or otherwise. Americans are not fools. You may think half of them are but they also think you are as well so it's a push. The problem is Donald Trump is such a complete moron not fit for any office that just his presence on the ticket is driving many voters to pick the unpickable.. and that's Hilary Clinton. You my fellow die hard Republicans had such a golden opportunity to have the Presidency, keep the senate and the house, plus vote in a conservative Supreme Court justice. You guys completely shit the bed! There were so many moderates who were ready to GOP but not Donald Trump. In the end maybe Trump can pull it out, god knows it's possible. If not, don't be pointing fingers at who voted Clinton but why you chose such an ass that no one couldn't stomach more than Hilary.

The white house during the Bush administration had 2 email servers. One in the white house for official business and one through the Republican committe for political business. Some white house staffers used both accounts from the same devices which they shouldn't have, and when the white house found out about it they fully admitted it. The RNC server automatically deleted emails every 30 days, but there were backups. When the emails were requested the white house answered that they weren't sure that all would be available until the backups were reviewed. Eventually virtually all were recovered. No mass conspiracy with the state department, fbi, network media, or any other governmental agency like we are seeing with the Clinton's. Hillary NEVER used the state department server for ANY of her emails. She was intentionally keeping everything dark, and as we have found out just today, Obama knew about it from the beginning and lied. Today a quid pro quo arrangement was discovered between the FBI and the Clinton campaign, among several other juicy stories that will be breaking over the next couple days. Nice spin, courtesy of the RNC, but incorrect. Do some original research yourself. The Bush administration failed to store its emails, as required by law (ref. Presidential Records Act), and then refused to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking some of those emails. It beggars credibility that there are no emails for several days from Dick Cheney's office around the period leading up to the Iraq war (the one with the false pretext i.e. "weapons of mass destruction"). It took a whistle-blower to come forward to reveal that the law was being willfully broken by the administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Oh and someone can despise Trump, and never vote for him, and still hate Hillary. Like walking and chewing gum at the same time. But I understand some cant do that.

You're in possession of some secret trove of information that you can't release because of fear of men in black helicopters? Alex Jones fan, then? You literally must live under a rock, or are so blinded by leftist ideology that you are incapable of seeing your team doing wrong on a massive scale. You don't need to visit the dark web or scour obscure right-wing web sites to find a wealth of information on what Hillary and Bill have been up to for the last several decades. Just because the media chooses not to report on it for fear of shedding a bad light on their candidate, that doesn't mean it isn't happening. Wikileaks has made sure that the American public is well aware of just how the Clintons operate, and the in their usual fashion the press and the Clintons don't discuss anything about it, nor do they deny anything. I could post several pages of absolute proof here of things that have landed people in prison that Hillary is obviously immune from, but why waste my time on those who will not read or believe it? You truly are a lost cause and have my sympathy. TheLastColdBeer, Blackbart, Astronomer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If Trump wins and continues his crusade against the establishment, the entire landscape of Washington will change. Even if he loses, he has already set things in motion that can't be stopped. When he said a couple nights ago that he was going to push for term limits for all members of both houses, he instantly made an enemy of every single member and they will be going out of their way to stop him at all costs. I've being saying it my entire life that if you take the money out of politics you will find people seeking office who truly want to be public servants. People today get into politics as a very lucrative career choice and most become wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of most Americans. They get elected poor and within a couple years have a beachfront house in the Hamptons and high producing stocks and bonds in things that aren't available to us. It needs to stop, and I think Trump has started a movement that will snowball from this point forward. If you think Washington was afraid of the Tea Party, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Contrary to what history has taught us Ter, Politics has always been a nasty business in America. The founding fathers weren't a bunch of well behaved gentlemen who sat around sipping tea and drafting our constitution. They were brawlers and it's been said that many walked with a limp from being shot in the leg during duels. The most famous duel between the sitting VP of the US Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton (Secretary of the Treasury) was the most famous only because one of them died. It was considered more gentlemanly to shoot your opponent in the leg. There are many instances of all out brawls in the hallowed halls involving beatings with canes and fist to cuffs. We like to think ourselves as more civilized now, but in our lifetime we saw the assassination of JFK, RFK, and MLK, so it stands to reason we've been lucky for the last 40 years but things can easily turn very ugly again, especially when one party is trying to change so many things for so many Americans. Frankly most of us are fed up with politics as usual which is why you see the rise of people like Bernie Sanders and Trump.
