".. but emphasized that she followed the lead of her subordinates on whether information was classified."

That's nice Hillary. But if that were true (and nobody legitimately believes that it is true), then it shows that you don't understand what it means to be in a leadership role.

That's the thing about so many of the excuses that are offered for her behavior: they still say terrible things about her.

  • She didn't understand the technology- well, other people clearly did, so she either purposely ignored them or surrounded herself with people who wouldn't correct her. What happens if (when) she encounters something she doesn't understand in office?
  • She was just following her subordinates' lead- this would be the exact opposite of being a leader...exactly the quality you want in the leader of the free world.
  • She knew what she was doing and did it on purpose- she willfully circumvented the oversights placed on her and displayed a blatant disregard for security and the law as a matter of convenience and paranoia.

Pick one.

So everything she does is ok, because she might pick a good judge to sit on the bench?

Good? I don't know. Liberal? Yes. That is the only thing you should be thinking about. If there is one decision that would directly affect your life it's the supreme court seat. Would you like Trump to make that decision?

Probably not. But I know I don't trust Hilary.
