LOL, nope.

The middle east shredded itself. It's a region that has been slowly trying to tear itself apart for a very long time. She just happened to be in office when it all went down. If anything, the Iraq war was the domino that started the destabilization of the entire region, so if anything you should be saying that Bush and Cheney shredded the middle east.

Hillary didn't have enough time in office to have that kind of influence on the region.

Mr. Khan had the best attack on Donald Trump that I've seen thus far at the Democratic Convention.

Between him and the USA USA USA chants it kind of feels like this is what the RNC should have been.

Wait, I thought she dropped the "Rodham" for branding? Sherrod Brown done goofed.

This feels like rapid fire speeches right now.

Oh, the middle east would have been a disaster without her. But she voted for war in Iraq. So my statement could stand based on that alone. But then we have Libya. She supported the Muslim Brotherhood in egypt to setup a hardline Islamic government. Her actions in Iraq in recent years probably contributed to the rise of ISIS at least in part. In general, she is a hawk.

So yes, the middle east got worse under her watch.

Problem: Shapiro was a hardcore Ted Cruz supporter. Not a lot of ground to stand on there...

HAHAHA: Are they seriously giving airline safety direction style instructions to the crowd to do something that looks cool on TV?! Dear lord.

EDIT: Holy damn. Some star power. I was actually thinking yesterday I was surprised they didn't get Lady Gaga for this thing. Seems like her schtick.

Neither Trump nor Clinton represent my political views, and I dislike both of them for different reasons.

Both of them provide plenty of ammunition to get crapped on.

What long history of corruption? She has been never even been accused of anything in court, let alone convicted, despite numerous investigations into her finances and the finances of the Clinton foundation.

Instead there is actual factual proof that she spent much of her youth doing stuff like specializing in children's rights, running legal aid clinics or doing pro bono work, even while she was at times the breadwinner of the family. We also know this is pretty much the case, because if the Republicans had any way to attack her track record on this, they would have already done it.


People keep saying she has a "long history" of this and that, but in practise no Republican is pretty much ever willing to touch her past beyond Benghazi. Even at the RNC convention all the "crooked hillary" type of stuff was just vague throws in the air. They clearly have nothing to back it up.

The personal wealth of the Clintons is can be traced back to the speeches they've held, the books they've written and salaries they've received from work they've done.

I mean, let me remind you that the Clintons are a couple of rich white baby boomers. Considering their demographic, they very likely actually believe in the good of 'trickle down' economics, free markets and the good of capitalism in general. Heck, for a while during the Bill Clinton presidency it even seemed like trickle down economics really worked.

Katy Perry's star power aside, I think it was a serious mistake to give a vapid pop star this time on this stage to sing such a terribly written song.

If he said they were both "equally horrid", you may have a point, but you are really reaching.
