The Benghazi controversy was, as Colin Powell even said, a "stupid witch hunt". Several investigations and a bunch of phony outrage from the right turned up no real wrongdoing on Clinton's end.

The #1 problem I have with her is Hillary represents continuation of global capitalist economic empire. She is comfortable hosting the powerfully rich, even brutal despots knowing they want favors from her that she will grant in exchange for something she wants. The problem here is her judgment. As Podesta puts it 'her instincts can be terrible'. She almost certainly will reverse herself on TPP some short time after being sworn in. Bernie Sanders says he will be a "thorn in her side", but once she is President, she can nullify Bernie. Of course she may decide not to be this way and surround herself with advisors who keep her on a progressive track, but I'm going to believe that when I see it.

She is feckless, the whole 'server in her basement' affair was very bad judgment, and her telling lies about it was bad judgment compounded. It speaks to a certain dishonesty/incompetence Bill Maher likened to 'southern lawyer rube'. Once again, if she surrounds herself with progressive idealist advisors this may not be a problem, but she has a track record that suggests otherwise. I'm resigned to there being a scandal by her third year.

She's underhanded, in 2007-8 her campaign did briefly do a whisper-campaign float of the question of Obama's birthplace, her "3:00 AM" commercial was an attempt to paint Obama as incompetent when he was far from it, and she let her hubby Bill go around saying that in the Senate, Obama was someone who would be responsible for bringing people coffee. This is a personal dislike of her that I have.

Bill. This guy is a train-wreck at times. She should have a tranquilizer dart gun at hand at all times to use on him when he starts to run amuck.

On her plus side are her years of social activism and pursuit of universal medical coverage, but I'm reminded of Obama's history prior to being elected President, and he ended up letting the Bankers off of the hook for trashing the world economy and put out a health plan without single payer.
