I think he wants the donor dollars and just to retire in peace without her ever making it through the primary.

The corrupt always lie about such things in order to keep their power.

I am reminded of what JFK said once.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Food for thought.

they can take the Clinton Foundation dollars and literally buy both of themselves an island where they can care not one whit.

Consider the money she can get from speaking fees if she becomes President. Even if she ends up a disappointment she can possibly pull revisionism like the Chinese have done for centuries.

She, Bill and Chelsea will be sitting on a pile of money higher than high, no doubt about it, because the pile of money they sit upon is apparently not high enough.

My hope is that such a reason is not why most people are running for Office.

Obama called her on it in 2008. It isn't any different in 2016.

Bill and Hillary can buy their own place in any country of their choosing and live like a King and Queen regardless of how this election shakes out.

Your "concern" is misplaced.

Henryk Mandelbaum, Jewish Sondercommando, Auschwitz: "They didn't know what to do with us. So they had a kind of discussion and then they told us to lie face down on the ground holding our hands behind our backs and every 3rd person was shot. Some of my friends in the Sondercommando lost their lives and the rest had to go back to work. There was never much hope for us. I'm telling it like it is."

Low-information voters? "Relationships" and "friendships" formed over the decades, so all is forgiven?

Dementia? Maybe.

But I think it's more likely that the belittling of those not like them is par for the course among Hillary, Bill, and their supporters. Pat the little people on their head and send them on their way. Demean them. Dismiss their ideas.

The more I see these two in action, the more frightened I am by the prospect of a Hillary candidacy.

They talked about a condition called "Pumphead" which pretty much everyone who's had bypass suffers from in the first month and that some still end up suffering from it henceforth.

We'd be perfectly satisfied with long prison terms, including the politicians bought by Wall St.
