This week, instead of talking about all the great Republican candidates for president, I’ve decided to switch it up and discuss the Democratic candidates, and how much I despise them! Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both are terrible in their own special ways, but I’m going to start off with Hillary for this post. She’s been leading the polls on the Democratic side of the picture, and the thought of her being president is just scary, because she simply can’t be trusted! So, why is Hillary so dangerous to our great nation? I’m glad you asked.
As I learned from this great article from my absolute favorite news site, Breitbart News, Hillary Clinton has been named the “Worst Ethics Violator of 2015” by the watchdog group/think tank called Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT). On its website, FACT claims to be totally non-partisan, and I definitely believe them, especially when I consider that they are run by a former Republican candidate for US Senate, Matthew Whitaker. They are also cited as a conservative group by reliable news sources, which leads me to believe they are definitely non-partisan and unbiased!
On FACT’s website, along with the announcement of Clinton as the “Worst Ethics Violator of 2015,” there’s a list of exactly why she earned the title. First of all, Clinton is suspected of giving special treatment to a private mining company that has known connections with her son-in-law. This accusation is just plain disgusting, and in my opinion is enough to back up the reasoning behind the “Hillary for Prison” bumper sticker that my dad/uncle (my dad and my uncle are the same person) gave to me! I mean, why can’t Hillary just go about her business the ethical way that other American politicians do? Everyone knows you’re supposed to grant special treatment to private interests that pay you millions of dollars, not private interests that are connected to your relatives!
The next bullet point on FACT’s website points out that the organization has asked the IRS to investigate Clinton Foundation (A nonprofit founded by the Clinton family) for allegedly giving $350,000 to Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential bid. I wholeheartedly assume this is true, even though, for the life of me, I cannot find a single other article/shred of information on the entire internet that mentions this specific allegation, other than a couple referring to FACT filing a claim with the IRS. Bullet point number three is closely related, and claims that Clinton illegally interacted with a Super PAC that supports her. Exchange of information and any interaction between candidates and PACs is prohibited by law. If this allegation is true, Americans should be disgusted, even though anyone familiar with American political campaign finance and half a brain knows that candidates from both parties constantly find loopholes that allow them to work closely with their respective PACs.
The final point FACT cites as why Hillary is the worst ethics violator of 2015 claims that Clinton “violated ethics rules by meeting with Senate Democrats.” I have no idea what the hell the rules that this allegation refers to are, and again I couldn’t find anything more about this alleged event from the internet. With those two things in mind, I’m just going to go ahead and believe Hillary illegally met with Senate Democrats because it supports my hatred of her.
Another huge allegation that conservatives like myself constantly make against Hillary is the monstrous, abhorrent, disgusting email scandal! Now, as much as I would like to follow my conservative counterparts in regularly bringing up this issue and stating how outraged I am without any explanation of what the damn scandal even is, I looked into the facts a bit. Basically, Hillary made the pretty stupid mistake of using a private email server to relay confidential government information, rather than using an official State Department email account which is far less susceptible to hacking. This mistake, as far as my Republican colleagues and I are concerned, is on par with murder. No, genocide. No, actually, it’s pretty much the equivalent of Hillary single handedly slaying every man, woman, and child in America. Are we overreacting to an issue that is already being dealt with by the FBI, etc. for political leverage? Absolutely. Are we going to keep doing it? Definitely.
It might seem a little strange how obsessed we Republicans are with Hillary and pretty much everything she does. Sure, she’s probably getting scrutinized more than any presidential candidate ever has, but that’s just because we really care about who our next president could be. We don’t wanna mess this up! That’s why the candidate who is leading the polls in our primaries (Donald Trump, of course) has a spotless record and has never done or said anything questionable.

This post was too funny, I like how you commented from the other side and “critiqued” Hillary. The post had a nice flow to it and you provided a lot of nice examples as to why Hillary is not a fit and trustworthy candidate. The email scandal was especially funny, I completely agree that it was blown out of proportion and I think you did a solid job showing that through your choice of language. I also liked how you kept consistency with your blog and drew on why the points you made in this post about Hillary is more reason to support Trump.

Once again the sarcasm is on point. I found it great that you pulled all of the point from this “credible news source” and showed why their points are not really valid and that they are the only one making these points. You showed how the “mistrust” of Hillary is way overblown which is so true.
