(10,559 posts)The venom was unpleasant for everyone.
Second: Hillary and her legal troubles are a BIG ISSUE, and while "presumptive nominee" is normally understood by this point, this is the first time we have ever had a "presumptive nominee" under FBI investigation, who has been publicly branded a liar by the Office of Inspector General, and whose aides are bringing attorneys into both FBI/DOJ interviews and civil litigation.
Outside of DU, asking voters to support someone with this type of legal trouble is simply a disaster waiting to happen -- and yes, I also know Trump is worse, blah, blah, end the world bad.
But Trump being BAD doesn't make an FBI clouded Hillary GOOD.
As I said, this is NOT a normal election. May I offer a suggestion for those of us following the Indictment Issue closely?
Hillary's legal troubles are not imaginary. Give us a separate forum for it. Make it be something that only "star" members can post in, but anyone interested can read. Keep the same courtesy rules (did I mention how much I missed them?), and leave it be while this plays out. It might be a short time if the FBI finishes soon, or it might be a long time if she gets into office and the inevitable Congressional Investigations begin/continue.
I am way more informed than I ever wanted to be in this topic, and I will volunteer as a host in that forum if you will have me.
There is no way to say "Hillary is flat out lying" that is going to make her look good, and there is no doubt she has been doing it. Might this be a solution for a discussion board - a separate place to actually discuss it?
