Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid

An anonymous reader writes In a move that surprised no one, Hillary Clinton has officially announced she is entering the 2016 race for the White House. According to the Times: "Ending two years of speculation and coy denials, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on Sunday that she would seek the presidency for a second time, immediately establishing herself as the likely 2016 Democratic nominee. 'I'm running for president,' she said with a smile near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 p.m. 'Everyday Americans need a champion. And I want to be that champion,' Mrs. Clinton said. 'So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote — because it's your time. And I hope you'll join me on this journey.'"

    unlike most other person running, she isn't overly corrupt and she's not bat shit crazy.

    What the fuck? Whitewater? Travelgate? Filegate? Character assassinations during the Lewinsky scandal? (which she said was a just a big right wing conspiracy right up until Bill admitted to it) Benghazi? Doing official government business on a private email server?

    And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

    Totally Agree here.

    You have to be Nuts and Stupid to vote for Hillary in 2016. Especially if you're a democrat voting in a primary.

    She is easily one of the most corrupt politicians I've seen in recent memory. Hell, just looking at Wikipedia alone gives me these entries and I've probably missed a couple of them:

    Whitewater Controversy
    FBI Files Controversy
    Travel Office Controversy
    Cattle Futures Controversy
    Email Server Controversy

    The last one is the straw breaker. She knowingly hosted her Email on purpose so that she had full control over what people can see or not see regarding federal government correspondence. Her wiping the box when it was under investigation is no different to what Nixon did with the audio tapes and should disqualify her right there.

    There are better presidential candidates out there. Hell, there are better potential democrat candidates out there.
