36. Hillary Clinton Being Charactterized As Viable in 2016 is Very Much Open to Dispute...

Dec 2015

when the reality of her record is honestly taken into account.

It would be inconceivable to consider Hillary as anything but the Most Polarizing figure in contemporary American politics would it not?... Wait for the Whitewater, Vince Foster up to and including having to put back all the items that she was moving out of the WH in 2001. The list is far too lengthy to enumerate here.

Hillary, a former member of WalMart's Corporate Board... If you want a Democrat to win then a reality check is called for.

Who could deny that Hillary has a longstanding history of having issues with "Getting her facts straight," while also demonstrating what can only be described as having a triangulating character when it comes to taking a political position and sticking to it.

As I noted in the original post, "It is one thing to say something, to softly echo another candidates stated position in order to ameliorate the differences in your platform. But it is something else altogether to have earned the trust of those whom you would deign to serve, based on your record of trust and integrity in the past." That is the difference!
