One thing they don't do is provide a single instance where a change in US policy towards those countries can be linked to those contributions. Investors.com did not even provide a single instance of any change whether linked to the donations or not.

They also neglected to mention that the Clinton Foundation also received donations from Australia ($10-$25 million) Norway ($10-$25 million)and the Netherlands ($5-$10 million.)

The Clinton Foundation does a lot of good around the world and you guys can't stand that. You've already destroyed one organization that did good-ACORN, are trying to destroy another=Planned Parenthood, and now have The Clinton Foundation in your sights. Easter Bunny beware!
I suppose if you consider stuffing ballot boxes for Democrats good.

Apparently Clinton foundation contributions were awarded with federal aid and funding for projects - might account for the 6 billion dollars lost by the State Department under tenure.

You must consume the Blue Kool-Aid by the barrel. The motto of The Clinton Foundation is Charity Begins At Home... So Me First! Followed by... If I can Do Something Thing For You, That Greatly Benefits Me Consider a Donation . Gratuities accepted thru Canada channels to be bundle with other foreign "Donation".

supposedly she is the most qualified to become the next president. for arguments sake i will agree.

but i can't vote for someone that is so careless like she is. that disqualify's her from being president in my mind. i don't think she belongs in the can though.

Ted Cruz is another story, if they got him on this Ashley Madison deal, then he has no business being president either. to me that's pretty dumb to start out with .

even though Trump doesn't know that much about foreign policy doesn't really bother me that much. he's not the first one that wasn't aware of all the policy's. i look at that as a good thing because he will have to get real good people around to steer him in the right direction. George Bush made a huge blunder for going into Iraq, and the world is paying dearly for it right now

Yeah, comparing resumes may give Hillary an edge, but make no mistake about it. Most mainstream Democrats are not thrilled with Hillary's candidacy. Like Lindsey Graham (he's a helluva pool player by the way), his endorsement of Cruz was more like, his shit stinks a little less than the other guy. Of course that was before the affair stuff reared its ugly head. And a lot of Democrats feel like Bernie is their version of Trump so he won't do, and Hillary is simply better than either Republican candidate. Not that she instills the same sort of enthusiasm among Democrats that Obama did in 2008, but that she is simply the best of a lot of bad alternatives. If there was a good alternative (Joe Biden might have done well in the Democrat primaries if he had declared early enough, and frankly if Paul Ryan had decided to go for President instead of Speaker he might have stomped them all) things would be a lot better. Oddly, both Kasich and O'Malley might have been real contenders if they could have ever developed traction. Hillary is a candidate Democrats will go into the booth, hold their nose and pull the lever.

There is a faction of Democrats that will favor Trump, mostly in the blue collar working class in rust belt states. They remind me of the people in the late 60's and early 70's who complained about the goddamn, long-haired, hippie freaks and supported Nixon and later Reagan. Sort of the conservative, union and construction worker faction. They constantly battled their economic interests against their philosophical interest.

Most people couldn't stand the scrutiny of running for president. We're left with the candidates who think they can survive the gauntlet of people swiping at them every step of the way.

Hillary's best strength may be she's enough of a know quantity to give people some comfort. On the other hand, people hear what Trump says but they really aren't sure if he's a whacko loose cannon or a political genius.

Susan Serandon who is supposedly a big time liberal says she will vote for Trump before Hillary.

i think that Hillary has figured this thing out, the more she goes in front of the camera's the less people will vote for her. she might lose to uncle Bernie so running for president might be a very mute deal.

Susan Sarandon has a black hole between her ears. She is so vacuous I still remember her appearing on a TV talk show during the 2008 campaign. Her candidate, I think it was John Edwards, had dropped out and she said that she was switching to Obama.

She said that she was really excited to be supporting Obama, and she couldn't wait to see what his positions were.

In the interests of keeping a level playing field, Hillary kept up with The Donald and ticked off everyone on both sides of the abortion issue.

She said that an "unborn child" had no Constitutional rights, but said that it was reasonable to put restrictions on late term abortions.

The impact on the right is obvious. But the lefties have their panties in a twist about any talk of restrictions and worse, the idea that there is such a thing as an "unborn child".

Quote:
Diana Arellano, manager of community engagement for Planned Parenthood Illinois Action, said Sunday that Mrs. Clinton’s comments undermined the cause for abortion rights.

The comment “further stigmatizes #abortion,” Ms. Arellano said in a tweet. “She calls a fetus an ‘unborn child’ & calls for later term restrictions.”

Describing the fetus as a “person” or “child” has long been anathema to the pro-choice movement, which argues the terms misleadingly imply a sense of humanity.
We certainly don't want to imply any sense of humanity to a human fetus.

The pro abortionists would have no problem if the doctor took a baseball bat to the unborn while it was coming out of the vagina and beat its brains out if the mother changed her mind at the last second. Some people really need to check themselves into a mental institution and stay there til they die.

I don't get why African Americans are so high on her. There are 1,000,000 young Black men that have been put in prison due to the 1994 crime bill.
