Foreign interest investing in our politics @Peteyandjia
The Wikileaks stuff is nothing new for American politics. Hillary has had the misfortune of running when these secrets have nowhere left to hide. Do you think Obama/Bush Jr./Her husband/Bush Sr./Reagan etc. didn't have the same kind of secrets and scandals? What the fuck is this naive view of government and politics? She's WAY less corrupt than Obama (seriously, look what Obama did with extension of patriot act), had less gaffes/security concerns than Bush Jr. by millions of e-mails/statements, and is par for the course of this country.
Can we do better? No question. To make it seem that Hillary is some sort of new creature that is "possessed?" You're out of your minds, collectively.
Well.. it's relative @Jack V Savage. There's a lot of "facts" out there. Depends what you deem corrupt and corrosive.
It's debatable, but I won't argue with you. It could go either way. Point is, corruption is present in both. I shouldn't have used WAY, in hindsight, there's too much hyperbole/lying going around as it is.
Obama has run the most scandal-free administration in decades, possibly ever. I think Clinton will be above-average on that score, but not perfect. I'd expect to see a legitimate scandal or two. I think if Trump were to win, he could set records.
