If there's nothing there then why haven't they stopped?
Over 100 agents are involved in it, are you aware of that?

And why is it so hard to release a bunch of speech transcripts?

I think the real derangement here well is rather obvious. Those who fail to face reality with one candidate may very well believe the earth is still flat.

Tell us more about this please, we'll wait http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/05/hillary-clinton-foundation-state-arms-deals Seeing as how so many gloss over it with their "we can't see this!" rose colored glasses

Hillary Clinton based entirely on her record, votes, statements, and actions?

Because it seems like no matter how long a list of facts and evidence are presented to most Hillary supporters explaining why we object to her and why we think she is anything but liberal and why we think she'll be a terrible nominee, they continue to insist that we don't support her because we are a) sexist and/or b)engulfed in a cloud of irrational "hate" that settled on us like a magic spell, out of the blue.

Who is living in delusion, then?

I look forward to an intelligent response from Hillary followers that doesn't include:

2. Denial
3. Rationalization
4. Childish insults
5. Someone basically saying "Hey, look over there!"

Wed Mar 23, 2016, 03:37 AM
Mar 2016

The center-left economic policy consensus that dominated the administrations of Barack Obama and Bill Clinton now rests on surprisingly shaky electoral foundations. Not only is Clinton relying on older voters to beat Sanders, she's relying specifically on African-American votes and the institutional support of labor unions. Both groups have their reasons for backing Clinton in 2016, but neither is a reliable supporter of centrist economics.

It's called "politics".
Aren't you guys the ones most adept at pushing other's noses into the fact that money and power always wins? That your candidate is a winner by those criteria, so that's all that matters?

Believe it or not, those who're repelled by Clinton's politics are just as repelled by Republican politics in general.
Some people just don't like being played like that.

And the stakes are kinda high, if you're on the receiving end of what these war profiteers deliver.
