She and Bill have made $200 million plus with the Clinton Foundation by selling little more than influence. Does that count?
I don't think the situation is that dire, yet. If Hilary wins we could start approaching that point. That being said the American people are very resilient and the political system here is a pendulum that tends to swing back and forth. Both Woodrow Wilson and FDR were huge progressives that loved to spend and yet we managed to still come out alright. I still have hope.
Bill Kristol must be going suicidal about now.
It's not the numbers I don't trust. It's the interpretation, or the "spin" if you will, that is misleading.
In the field of risk avoidance, you consider the probability of a situation in relation to the severity of that situation.
So take a situation:
Appointing liberal supreme court justices?
Attacking the 2nd A (and the 1st andothers)?
Raising taxes?
Appointing liberal heads of the various agencies (IRS, EPA, DOJ . ..)
or any other position that is important to you.
What are the odds that Hillary will do the wrong thing? (I submit 100%)
What are the odds that Trump will do the wrong thing? (I submit, Less than 100%).
Where is the confusion coming from? I think it is all just emotional, but I always thought that was a liberal trait.

There is so much else wrong with the guy that this time around, you really need to be more than just a single issue voter.
Hi Anthony!! Yep we're doing great, had to move to Texas and sell the plane though. So now I need to fly back to NC several times a year to take care of Mom so I too am having to adjust to commercial flying after only flying GA for most of the last 30 years.
We are at a point right now if a major conflict erupted the US does not have the man power or assets to back it up. The US military is spread too thin as it is right now and with budget cuts and manpower reductions it's a shell of it's former self.
We spend too much money defending other countries who, in turn contribute nothing or very little to the effort. The Bush Doctrine of "spreading democracy" and "nation building" has depleted our military along with a current administration that has cut and stripped away all it could.
GOP still controls the vast majority of statehouses and governorships, and one half of the Legislative body (not to mention one half of the SCOTUS). I honestly don't think they're in any trouble at all, and a Clinton presidency will likely be the very best thing for them.
