Cause the Clinton years were just sooo bad. what with that economic growth, budgetary surplus, a relatively stable economy, no wars.... That was just soo much worse than the years under Bush Jr....
Somehow Trumps "it'll be great, it'll be awesome, we're gonna win some more wait it'll be yuuuge" statements are "concrete". While Hillary, a known policy wonk (ie, nerd) who gets down to nitty gritty details is "unfocused".
In other words, what you stated is pure BS.
Not withstanding your inability to actually grasp definitions, let alone policy, n matter how many times you say it, it's still not true. Trumps statements are not concrete. Saying "it needs to be fixed" is not concrete. And Hillary laying out EXACTLY how it will be fixed is not "directionless" or "vague".
Bad at her? spoken like a deluded fool for whom up and down and down is up. IE, typical conservative.
no less a person than Madeleine Albright stated that "Hillary’s Greatest Accomplishment at State Was to ‘Restore America’s Reputation" And if you ask people in other countries, yes, contrary to the popular conservative myth, our standing in the world IS improved over Bush. Obama didn't make us a laughingstock. Bush did. And Obama, with Hillary's work as Sec State, fixed it.
As senator she consistently fought for healthcare for the 9/11 responders, even as the bills were sidelined multiple times by the GOP.
Know how conservatives like to bash muslim countries by pointing out how (some of them) treat women and LGBT (while ignoring how poorly conservatives treat them)? As Sec State she spoke for womens and LGBT rights worldwide, even right in oppressive nations leader's faces, on their own soil.
She got expanded healthcare and leave benefits for military families.
That ceasefire between Isreal and Hamas? She negotiated it.
Know those islands China keeps claiming in the south sea? It's her actions that interjected the US into the dispute over concerns of keeping navigation of the oceans open.
She oversaw and was responsible for the New START Treaty.
Yes, she was a good Senator and good Sec State. Yes she wasn't perfect, as seen in the Libya bombing campaign. But no one is perfect, and for all the work she did do that never makes the front pages, all you idiots can focus on is one or two things and then claim she did nothing else. I mean seriously, this is the same old Hillary Derangement Syndrome that ignores reality. its worse and even more intractable than ODS ever was. She could literally cure cancer and you idiots would say she's putting doctors out of work.
A pair of articles published during Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency in 2008, one by Northstar Writers Group founder Dan Calabrese and one by Jerry Zeifman himself, asserted that Zeifman was Hillary's supervisor during the Watergate investigation and that he eventually fired her from the investigation for "unethical, dishonest" conduct. However, whatever Zeifman may have thought of Hillary and her work during the investigation, he was not her supervisor, neither he nor anyone else fired her from her position on the Impeachment Inquiry staff (Zeifman in fact didn't have the power to fire her, even had he wanted to do so), his description of her conduct as "unethical" and "dishonest" is his personal, highly subjective characterization, and the "facts" on which he bases that characterization are ones that he has contradicted himself about on multiple occasions.

Even though her major initiative, the Clinton healthcare plan, failed (due to Republican obstruction), you cannot deny that it laid ground for what we have today, the Affordable Healthcare Act, something Clinton supports and would continue. She played a leading role in the development of State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage. She was also instrumental in the creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act. Successfully fought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and asthma at the National Institute of Health (NIH). She spearheaded investigations into mental illness plaguing veterans of the Gulf War; we now have a term for it – Gulf War Syndrome. At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women. She was instrumental in securing over $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment. Took a leading role in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services our first responders deserve (Clinton’s successor in the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, passed the bill). Was instrumental in working out a bi-partisan compromise to address civil liberty abuses for the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act.
Proposed a revival of the New Deal-era Home Owners’ Loan Corporation to help homeowners refinance their mortgages in the wake of the 2008 financial disaster. Was a major proponent of sensible diplomacy which brought about a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and brokered human rights with Burma. Oversaw free trade agreements with our allies such as Panama, Colombia, and South Korea. Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date. The Clinton Foundation, founded by her and her husband, has improved the living conditions for nearly 400 million people in over 180 countries through its Initiative program.
These are not all of her accomplishments. Her activism on behalf of women a children across the world is renowned. Her activism for raising the minimum wage and combating climate change is stellar. You do not have to support what she does or stands for. But do not say she doesn’t have any accomplishments. The conservatives who say this are the ones who are pushing for Ted Cruz – who brought on a $24 billion shut down. That, to them, is an accomplishment?
Yes, Hillary Clinton has accomplishments. You don’t have to like them, but they do, in fact, exist.
Besides, after the abomination of Bush the Lesser...now you're worried about qualifications?
-Karl Rove created the swiftboating campaign. -Kerry never said it before congress. -when he did say it, it was as and with a profound sense of shame, and as part of his motivation to denounce the war, throw his medals away, etc.
in America we believe in redemption, and Kerry has more than redeemed himself. yes, he is a hero.
It is you who have no shame, trying to spin things so disgustingly.
No, it just takes someone who lives in reality. reality being the acknowledgement that bush had ~60 benghazis and you twits don't even acknowledge that. reality being that you shouldn't get your talking points frm Michael bay movies. reality being that no one was "left to die"
Last I checked Hillary hasn't condoned an illegal breakin to get an edge in an election and then covered it up with the power of her office. That's not "pretty much the same" thing.
Ignoring the previous discussion, I just have to say.... you're not very familiar with the animal kingdom are you?
Elephant seals will rape seal pups for self-gratification (ie, non-reproductive). When a new alpha male takes over a lion pride he will kill all the current cubs. Baboons will engage in what we would term domestic violence. Some duck species engage in traumatic insemination, with an evolutionary battle of the sexes where the males are evolving to better force themselves on the female and the females evolve better biology to thwart it.
there is both nobility and savagery in the animal kingdom, and much like the bible, you can read into almost any lesson you want.
Bad strawmen. Atheism is a form of religious expression.
As a TV channel atheism is more like a channel of static, than the off switch.
Silence is a sound, as a sound is a pattern of vibrations, a pattern that may be represented on a spectrograph. Silence is just as demonstrable as a siren.
Pulling up the ladder behind yourself is a common sociapathic action.
No longer I want to see America suffer
America doesn't suffer because of immigrants.
No longer I want to see any of my fellow Americans killed by someone related to immigrants
By definition that ain't happening. We're all related to immigrants. It's a nation of immigrants.
Yes I know, that moslem fucker was born in America, but if his immigrant parents didn't move to America from abroad he wouldn't have been born inside America and kill innocent people!
Because violence within our borders solely comes from immigrants? No. In fact immigrants commit far less violence and crime than native born.
I know a lot of folks will send hate mail my way..
You deserve it.
They will call me a hypocrite..
Because you are.
They will challenge me to move back to China..
No I won't.
They will want to see that I, along as all my children, be thrown out of USA.
No I don't.
I know that will happen, but I am still going to stick to what I have said --- "CLOSE DOWN THE BORDERS"

Now take the opposite of everything the AC said, and you'll have a statement much closer to reality.

this is the same ignorance that insists on demanding that muslims denounce terrorists, claiming they don't.

Number of mass shootings in France last year: 1
Number of mass shooting in the US in just the past 6 months: 136
I'd say gun control is working pretty good for them.
Gun control may not prevent 100% of shootings.
But >99% is still pretty damn good.

The big difference: Europe never allowed citizens to own guns the way the US does..
