In your “regretful” endorsement of Hillary Clinton, you listed many of her “negatives” – her vote for the Iraq war and for trade agreements, her endorsement of the death penalty, her militaristic instincts, and her ties to the financial industry. You did not mention, however, the inevitable Congressional obstructionism that will come with a Hillary presidency. Nor did you mention the taxpayer cost of the inevitable investigations which will ensue with her Presidency.
The Republicans do not like Barack Obama. But the Republicans really do not like the Clintons!
Here is a list of a few Clinton investigations: Travelgate (when the Clintons fired the entire Whitehouse travel office), The Whitewater Investigation (where 15 Clinton associates were convicted of 40 federal crimes), Filegate (where the Clintons were investigated for improperly requesting and receiving FBI background reports on other officials), Chinagate (when the Justice Department investigated Clinton campaign fundraising abuses and cover-ups regarding efforts by China to influence U.S. politics), Pardongate (where Bill Clinton pardoned billionaire Marc Rich - who funneled millions into Democratic campaigns - including Hillary’s senate campaign. Bill also pardoned felons who paid Hillary’s brother, Hugh Rodham, large legal fees.) Then there was Hillary’s Benghazi investigation and her “e-mail” investigation. But even before that, there was Cattlegate (Hillary’s first-ever $1,000 trade in cattle futures netted her a $100,000 gain).
The New York Times called the Clinton Foundation “mired in conflicts of interest.” So a Clinton Presidency would result in every large donation to the Clinton Foundation raising suspicions and leading to non-stop investigations.
Americans do not need four more years of obstructionism. We do not need the high price of relentless investigations. (The Whitewater investigation, alone, cost taxpayers $70 million dollars). We need a leader without scandals - who has never been tempted by the corrupting influence of power or money - one with integrity and a history of fighting for social and economic justice. We need Bernie Sanders as our next President.
