I won't re-iterate the long list of behaviours and odious policies that the Trumpet bandied around. Hillary used an improper email server and had something suspicious to do with something called Whitewater which most people don't understand anyway. Not even in the same league. For what it's worth I think Hillary would have made a decent President.
Lets be careful not to portray Hillary as some angel just because we ended up with the devil himself!!! Hillary's "crimes" with regards to the server and her emails were serious enough that if it was you or I or some other military person then in all likelihood we would have ended up in jail. American troops died in Benghazi, something else she was attached to and something that will always resonate badly with the average American and her foundation has taken a lot of money from foreign governments!! She was a bad candidate for the democrats to choose. She was in the same league as Trump but for different reasons!!
In past elections, neither of these candidates would have won the Primaries, there would have been better alternatives who would have fully exposed them, but 2016 will go down as hopefully the last time we don't hold our candidates responsible for everything they do and everything they say.
