This seems well put together, with no spin for a change.

When this year is over, we will have a different GOP. However, I am nearly certain we will have a Clinton presidency. I have wanted to see a woman president, but she would not have been my choice to break that ceiling. I am probably voting Libertarian again.
Hmmmm..... Guess there is lots of bribery going on.

Seems it is pretty non-partisan as well.
So if some group wants a speaker, and said group finds one to their liking and reach a mutually agreeable fee for said speech - that is bribery?

I doubt strongly that it rises to the level of criminality. Indeed, after numerous Congressional hearings and a lengthy FBI investigation no charges have been brought against her or anyone else.
So far I've been called a parasite on this board because of my chosen profession (which in an ironic twist I chose for its altruistic elements). i can only imagine the invective when i say that I very, very grudgingly support her for POTUS.
The supposed "felonies" that Conservatives have been crowing about remind me of the Obama birther nonsense. The situation vis a vis the Clinton Foundation was a legal as it was distasteful. The Email scandal is a reminder of her extreme arrogance. I'll never forget her "coming under fire in Bosnia". I don't like her one bit.
She served as Secretary of State. You will all say that she was a huge failure, but I recall her at the time praised by a number of world leaders, again to my own incredulity. At least we didn't go to war on her watch.
The problem is anyone with any record in public service will have bad things in their past. It is utterly unavoidable. That's where Trump gets ahead, he has no record of public service. Obama's was so limited that no one could really point to anything he'd done wrong, he wasn't in it long enough to do anything wrong.
Trump has no idea what can and can't be done in the Oval office. None. He is frighteningly naive. He is also quite bright, and could probably figure it out. But there would be lots of teething pain.
And then there's Hillary. Arrogant, nearly reptilian. And enormously capable of doing the job. Married to the best ex-president we have. Maybe we'll get Bill for Secretary of State. Wouldn't that be a hoot.
That in itself shows classic microaggression.
The guy went into the volunteer position with an agenda. He begins the video by saying he's an oppressed person in this society yet fails to articulate how he's oppressed and the interviewer didn't push him on it. The best he could come up with are the "microagressions" people had towards him. He had no real proof of any racism or hostility towards him so to justify his position of being oppressed he used the word "microagression", which is nearly impossible to prove one way or the other.
Thin end of the totalitarian wedge. Sorry to read of those other concerns as well. Will be interested to talk this over with my husband, who is prez of the local chapter.
Same question. What did you guys major in?
So, what you're saying is that his success is predicated upon leaning on a crutch that will not be at all available to him should he become POTUS. You can't just say "Well, the FAA is overburdened by debt, we'll just default on that and move their responsibilities to the CAA" after all.
OK, if you want to call it dumb, but still think about it for one moment. Yes, HE as done really well for himself. The same can't always be said for those under his direction. So, you're just fine handing the rains of the country to a guy that ran companies broke four times, but personally came out smelling like a rose, but I'm not. The great CEO of America and when it goes bankrupt (even more than it is), guess what? He'll still get his golden parachute and you will still be able to call him "a success".
To me that is lame. There is nothing in Trump's business dealings that inspire confidence, or even the right direction for America. Obviously you disagree and that's fine.
