Well Ms Clinton has wrapped up the Democratic nomination for the President even though she could be indicted by the FBI over the private email server scandal. Uncle Bernie is staying in, mainly hoping that she is charged and he can take over the nomination even if that happens we will end up with a President Trump.
When I was in that type of job, I was always ill on holiday - every single one.
The adrenalin keeps you going and as soon as you relax and the adrenalin stops, your body reveals the underlying health problems.
When I reached my mid forties I really started to notice it, and I decided it wasn't worth it and packed it in. I've friends that have stayed in very high pressure roles and the health problems are really beginning to show.
What did you do Lisa, if you don't mind me being just nosey?

Hillary has proved herself to be totally unsuited for the job, she is a congenital liar (just look up her account of her visit to Sarajevo,where she claimed herself and Chelsea came under sniper fire, the film of the event showed no record of any gunfire at all) , she kept classified information on her email server that was hacked by the Russians and the debacle of Bengahzi which led to assassination of the US ambassador to Libya and his three bodyguards. Now Trump equally is a narcissistic,egotistical sexist bully who is total waste of space. Living here you feel that the United States will lurch into an election choosing either the ego that is the Donald or Hillary with her unbridled lust for power ! Whichever choice the American people make, the USA and ultimately the world will rue that decision.

Benghazi? Really?
A bunch of politically motivated crap designed to damage Hilary Clinton.
Carried out by the same people who had been slashing funds for embassy defence for years.
I can't see why she wants the hassle . Is power that addictive
Rhetorical question
Obviously power is addictive, as she saw when Billy Bob was in power plus the Kudos of being the first female President. Both candidates have egos the size of Texas, when ego comes ahead of duty then that is a dangerous combination ego and power!

So when was the last time duty came before ego, money or power for a US presidential candidate? Lincoln?
Never ceases to amaze me how people try to equate Trump with Clinton.
Trump is a far worse candidate and would be a far worse president by virtually all measures, suggesting they are similar in any meaningful way is crazy

This. In f*cking spades.
One is a competent political figure who many find it hard to take to. She has issues with her cosiness to Wall Street, her hawkishness and her much exaggerated propensity to tell lies. But she's basically a sane competent politician, assisted by sane competent people.
The other is Donald f*cking Trump.
If the term false equivalence means anything, it means it in this election.
You have to admit that Bengahzi was not her finest hour, but as I said before Clinton and Trump are totally unsuited to inhabit to Oval Office.
Possibly. I don't know.
I do know that prior to Bengahzi there were 13 attacks on American embassies around the world, resulting in over 70 deaths. All under President GW Bush. How many United States House Select Committees investigations were started to look at them? None.
That's all I need to know.
Bengahzigate was a deliberate ploy by Republicans to get low information voters to hear talking heads saying "Hilary. Dead American heroes. Lock her up" on Fox News during the election cycle.
As admitted by a number of Republicans.
Here's another one, a much less stupid and a lot more decent Republican than the first example.
As for Sarajevo. Yeah. Embarrassing. Laughable. Hardlya biggie though is it? Not that important.
Using private emails? Much more important. A common practice used by government types to be able to communicate government business without having to have them looked at later. It's wrong and she should not have done it.
But once again, where were the outraged republicans when we found out Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice did exactly the same?
Nah. Not interested. Everybody does it don't they? Nothing to worry about.
Fox News should be watched for entertainment and educational value Snork. Not actually believed.

The World might well be safer if Trump wins as opposed to Hillary ?

Indeed.
But apart from everyone in the rest of the world being safer because of a less hawkish foreign policy and everyone within the US being safer because of fewer islamic terrorists being allowed in, who will be better off?

Bengahzi was serious as the State Department sat on their hands as the attack took place and Secretary Clinton did the square root of nothing until it was too late. As for the emails, American service personnel have been indicted and imprisoned for less than she left on her server. Sarajevo was indeed laughable, but still an unnecessary lie! We all know polititians are habitual liars, but to spout a lie and get found out by TV coverage is pretty poor. She called half of Trumps supporters of being racist,sexist, homophobic,islamaphobic and basically every other insult under the sun. Now she retracted that statement the day after, but the damage was done. By the way she was probably right in her assessment of the average Trump supporter, but she should have thought it and not said it aloud!
As I have said before Trump is the lowest common denominator you can have as a Presidential candidate, but Clinton is not far behind, Bernie Sanders would been a more genuine and a more honest contender , but DNC wanted Clinton as she would be the establishment choice plus she would more than likely beat 'The Donald' ! Both are scary as neither has the temperament to take charge of the nuclear 'Football' . As for Fox News their slogan is 'fair and balanced'! They are as fair and balanced as a chapter out of 'Mein Kampf'.
Who are their "bosses" and why would a president listen to them?
Lobbyists, donors, foreign policy "experts" like Henry Kissinger, political think-tanks, the arms industry. Basically, the military-industrial complex.
