Quote:I'm not talking about garden-variety political corruption where a politician changes their position in return for a campaign contribution.   What I am talking about is the way Bill and Hillary set out to enrich themselves personally.   I cannot see why anyone would pay $500,000 to someone to make a single speech.   Apparently Bill and Hillary have gone from "broke" (in her words) when Bill left the White House to a net worth of $100 million.   Contrast that with Jimmy Carter who spend his post White House years trying to make the world a better place and not trying to enrich himself in the process.   Or better yet, Harry Truman, who just went home to Missouri and could be found in the local diner having a cup of coffee.  Or George W Bush, who just went home to Texas and painted pictures.  Bill Clinton toured with world with his hand out while his wife was Secretary of State. 

 

I don't think they would sell out the country.   I just think they crave money and power, especially money. 

 

But like I said, when the alternative is Trump, I don't feel like I have any choice.   I have to vote for a crook, because I feel like Trump would be far, far worse for the country. 

 

2020 cannot come soon enough.  Whoever gets elected will be a one-term President.   IF they get that far without being impeached.  I put a 30% chance that whoever gets elected will get impeached.  

 

OK, so we're pretty close.  I agree, the fact that the Clinton's are worth 100 Mil smacks of some sort of corruption.  I'm not sure how much that has to do with the Clinton Foundation or not.  From my quick googling of thier charity, it seems to do good work and is pretty efficient.

 

HOWEVER---  The fact that 100 million was earned by them shows there are other things at play that just sullies everything around them.  And at this point, even if there was no criminal activity, it's clear that the system is so out of wack that it allows for this type of thing to happen.
