November 22, 20169 yr -He stated on the 60 Minutes interview that he still plans on building a wall. -He said Obamacare wouldn't be repealed until a replacement was in place so that there wouldn't be a lapse in coverage. -Spoke about infrastructure already, saying it and the jobs JOBS that come with it are a priority. (The Obama Infrastructure plan was phased in to take full effect going into his reelection in 4 years, it didn't hit the ground running day 1, month 1 or year 1) I think his subdued tone towards Clinton has already shown he probably isn't going to prosecute her. (FWIW I hope she isn't prosecuted at this point, even though she deserves it. As a country we need to get her and her corruption behind us and move on)

If it really bothered people as they claimed it did during the election it would still be worth prosecuting her over but as we can see by Donald and his supporters it now simply isn't worth the time and effort. The level of disgust about it would indicate that it was a troubling severe issue, and now all of the sudden no body cares. Finally everyone left and right as Bernie had originally stated are sick and tired of hearing about Hillary's damn emails. Wasn't it obvious all along what it truly was all about?

No, she should have been prosecuted. She clearly broke the law. My point about not prosecuting her now is that it will drag the country to a stand still and divide us even further. If both sides are truthful about coming together after the election then it would be pragmatic to just let this die, as far as the email scandal goes. Clinton Foundation pay to play scandal investigation should continue until it's conclusion.

Clinton Foundation pay to play scandal investigation should continue until it's conclusion. Why would coming together as a country not be a concern regardless of if it was before or after the election? If people are being reasonable about it now, does that mean that they were being unreasonable about before? I'm not buying that this issue really mattered to people like they put on that it did. It fit for their particular agenda and now that it helped get the job done, it's of no concern to anyone. If the same accusations had been brought against someone on their side they would have said whatever they could to spin it away. When Bill misbehaved sexually, he was considered despicable, but the same moral high ground folks wrote Donald's behavior off as locker room talk. People spin stuff however they can when they see fit for their cause. People pretending to give a crap about this was no different.

They care about the double standard being give to HRC on mishandling classified information. Many others are in jail for mishandling classified info.
November 22, 20169 yr Donald Trump outlines policy plan for first 1 days - CNNPolitics.com Wall? Repeal Obamacare? Jobs? Prosecute Clinton? :smug: Wall = Act of Congress Repeal Obama Care = Act of Congress Jobs were discussed. This is included in renegotiating trade agreements. Prosecution of Clinton isn't what got Trump elected and to be clear, the Clinton Foundation is still being investigate. He is talking about emails. The stuff Trump discussed are the things he can do "with a pen and a phone". Sound familiar?

November 22, 20169 yr Do you also issues with General Patraeus being considered for a position in the administration? Helet his biography have classified info. Yes. I do. Too many people in jail for doing far less with classified info.

Many others are in jail for mishandling classified info. Though they were " just words", the moral high ground folks dismissed it and looked the other way and asked "Shouldn't we forgive him, he's human". No concern it seems that he might actually have acted on those type of words, and there's some women who came forward who claim that he did. No question of his character for having said those 'words'. These same "words" from folks outside of their party would have had them screaming, and I don't recall them offering Bill any forgiveness. When it comes to party first politics people are wishy-washy with what they claim matters to them, and are full of double standards, and this happens from both sides. It's peculiar that hardly anyone is willing to recognize it, or admit it.

November 22, 20169 yr For those of you who say she "clearly broke the law, " (and maybe she did, I don't know), is that the attitude you have when sitting on a jury? Before the trial begins and before evidence is presented, you decide guilt? My mom is that way. It's guilty until proven innocent for her. I've always told her, I feel for any innocent man or woman who goes on trial and she's a juror.
