I don't recall reading about any criminal convictions against Hillary Clinton. <br /><br />There are many Americans who simply are going to have a hard time accepting Clinton could be the "commander in chief". In other countries the President or P.M. doesn't lead the armed forces, so its perhaps easier for the country to accept a woman as the head of state. Many countries have an easier time of accepting a woman as head of state because their countries are or have been monarchies which had Queens as head of state. to make the transition to a female P.M. isn't so difficult.<br /><br />Trump is a bit of a head case and so are some of his supporters. For all the progress America has made in some ways they are still rather back ward. American has had an under class for as long as I've been alive, but in the past that was mainly African-Americans. For the past 30 years this under class has also begun encompassing whites and they just don't understand how that happened, nor are they interested in knowing. They still haven't figured out they are unemployed or under employed because their jobs were shipped to Asia by the very people they elected to office. Their politics is controlled by money to greater extent than any other G-7 country. For a developed nation they have really no social medical system for the average citizen and their public school system is a mess. They privitized prisons and sent their mentally ill there along with a million African-Americans. Gee what could go wrong in a country like that, when some billionaire comes along and promises to change every thing. i.e. make you think you're going to get the jobs of the 1970s back. <br /><br />Lets hope Clinton is elected. If she has a majority in the Senate and House she might even get the medical system she wanted when Bill Clinton was President. e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-55871109940597614162016-10-13T03:39:31.343-04:002016-10-13T03:39:31.343-04:00After Hillary serves one or two terms, I look forw...After Hillary serves one or two terms, I look forward to President Michelle Obama.
