Experience No Doubt, But Where's the Judgment?

Happy Sunday, Friends,

I was thinking about taking today off. But with the Iowa Caucuses tomorrow, and everything going on with the latest Hillary email scandal, I just had to take a few moments to sit down and opine. I hope you'll indulge me.

I'm amazed that the media is not jumping all over Thursday afternoon's revelation that the Obama Department of State, the same department Hillary Clinton once ran, says 22 of her emails are too sensitive to release; so sensitive, in fact, they're Top Secret.

Having this kind of  US government information on a personal home computer is a FELONY. This law applies to everyone...not just us peasants.

Let me explain...
Hillary's lame excuse is that these documents weren't marked Top Secret at the time. Well, someone of her intelligence should recognize sensitive information when  she sees it. She should also know the law regarding having this kind of government information on a personal email server.

If she can't tell, or doesn't know the law, her judgment and depth of knowledge are both called into question. Both are qualities a president needs.

Her rather inept attempts to explain the situation away make her veracity suspect. No wonder every poll taken ranks her lowest among the candidates in trustworthiness. You are what you do.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for a guaranteed four years of absolute turmoil and gridlock. Any criminal indictment over the email debacle would lead to impeachment proceedings by a GOP-controlled House of Representatives.

Now, Hillary would say, "I've admitted I've made a mistake. Let's move on."

Okay, so let's say we accept this "mistake," which just happens to be a whopper. It's not her first whopper. Hillary also admits her vote for the war in Iraq was a mistake--another whopper.

And--here's my best impression of Donald Trump--I'm not even going to bring up Benghazi.

So, that's at least two big strikes against dear Hillary going in. Where does it end? How many big mistakes does Mrs. Clinton have to make before the public recognizes that she is not presidential material?

How many public lapses in judgment will we have to witness to get it?  We need a president with a better track record in decision making than Hillary Clinton.

Hillary needs to go...now.
