    This thread is a place people can cite the vast accomplishments of Hillary Clinton in her life as First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady in the White House, Senator for New York and Secretary of State.

    There is this belief out there that being married to a President somehow imparts the knowledge, experience and temperament needed to lead the United States of America.

    I'll go first.

    Hillary Clinton was an exceptional commodities trader. She became rich with a total of about 5 trades with a little help from some commodities broker buddies. Genius.

    She was the "most traveled" secretary of state. I'm not sure what that got us, and what the ROI on that was, but there you go.

    Tyson Foods was having a lot of problems from environmental groups about the runoff from one of their chicken farms in Arkansas. It seems that all that chicken shit was ending up in a local lake. Then Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton helped make the problem go away. Later Hillary Clinton was introduced to a commodities broker via a "friend" "Lawyer" James Blair outside counsel to Tyson Foods. at the Rose Law firm, as it happened the Rose Law Firm included Tyson Foods as one of its clients. The Broker, Robert L "Red" Bone at Refco, and a former Tyson executive. It is alleged that Bone was also the trader for Tyson. After just 10 months of trading Hillary's initial investment of $1,000 had generated nearly $100,000 when she stopped trading. The trading practices in Refco's Springdale, Arkansas, office, which Bone was the manager of, came under investigation in October 1979. Court documents detailed some of the alleged trading practices at Refco, including block trading, end-of-day allocation, backdating of trades, and waived margin calls. As it happened, during the period of Hillary's trading, Refco was also under investigation by the Mercantile Exchange for systematic violations of itsmargintrading rules and reporting requirements regarding cattle trading. In December 1979, the exchange issued a three-year suspension to Bone and a $250,000 fine of Refco. Later during the Clinton administration, Tyson was charged with bribing Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy with gifts to influence legislation–leading to Espy’s disgraced resignation. Tyson paid $6 million to settle the accusations and two convicted Tyson executives faced prison time but President Clinton pardoned them in 2000.

  4. Yes, with any luck, you will.

    Meanwhile, I see that Trump left quite an impression on you. So when he loses the general election, and loses it badly, your buddies will have a shoulder to cry on.

    Its called moral relativism and it is a hallmark of liberal thinking.

    You literally think in metaphors, don't you? Admit it.

    I would say you... grasp at metaphors like they are stepping stones in your thought process, canonical models looking for application to current circumstances and delivering a nice serotonin reward when cited.

    Its an addiction, of course, like everything else people do.
