A Clinton Presidency Would Bring Another Reign of Terror From Bill



Now that Hillary Clinton has told her supporters more than once that she intends to put Bill Clinton to work in her administration, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, for the candidate and her supporters to continue complaining that attacks on Bill are not legitimate criticisms of Hillary as well.

Clinton joked at the beginning of May that Bill would be coming out of retirement to “be in charge of this” – “This” being trade. Then just this week, Clinton said that Bill would be in charge of “revitalizing the economy.”

Clinton was a very popular president last time I checked. He finished his presidency with a Gallup poll approval rating of 65%, higher than that of every other departing president measured since Harry Truman.

Even though there were some of us who did not like what he did, when he did it, there are now many who can see the results of his hellacious policies.

for non vioent drug "offenses" for years at a time. Outsourcing jobs with his NAFTA, killing a half a million Iraqis during the sanctions, and militarziing the police, creating the fundament for Tamir Rice.

What strikes me, is how Hillary paints hersef as someone who0 cares one bit about the PoC she once called super predators. She called KIDS super predators, while pretending that her Wall Street donors are invaluable pillars of societym, sacred as cows in Calcutta.

Wonder why so many people who once voted for change insist on getting a rerun of the same corrupt politics and their candidates resort to the most henious smear campaigns since John Kerry got swiftboated in 2004 and how her voters keep turning the blind eye to facts.
As if an approval rating from 2000 has any relevance today.
What is highy relevant today is electabiity. Hillary loses ground to Trump, while Bernie creams him in every poll there is.

Now which poll shall we put our trust in?

A 16 year old approvgal rating, or polls that comes out almost daily?

...With those super predators without consience or empathy, you know. Cut some more foodstamps, and raid the SS fund to give another tax cut to Wall Street hedge fund managers.


Wonder how the two parties are goung to woo the 40% of the voter base without party affiiation after alienating them.

Perhaps they are not interested in trying, since the system is rigged, and the foxes guard the hen house committing direct election fraud.
