Hopefully after America has seen that she is above the law she wouldn't be lucky to be running against Mickey Mouse!

We have been discussing this a lot lately on RP & I would have to say with Hillary's mediocre list of accomplishments + all of her negatives and the FBI Report released yesterday she is damn lucky. If her opposition was Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz I think her poll numbers would be much lower than they are today.

Oh Hell Yeah. Someone that has Painted himself with his words and characteristics as just about as Fascist as Mussolini.

What did the FBI, "incompetent, careless, I don't want a President with those qualifiers. She deserves prison. Purely a political decision.

While I don't see any surprises actually happening, I would remind everyone that until the conventions are over it IS possible that there could be a different candidate(s).

I don't think that very many are planning to vote for either candidate. This will be a contest of the "versus" and it wouldn't matter whom Hillary was running against.

You are looking at the actual meaning of "Rigged Elections", nothing new to these perps.

Not sure I would call her lucky. There is no guarantee she will beat Trump. And this decision not to prosecute may in fact hurt more then it helps. There is no denying her untrustworthiness and many more may now consider her privileged for avoiding prosecution. And just might hold her accountable in their votes.

What would Reagan do if Casper Weinberger or someone in his cabinet did what Hillary did?

Sgt Tom Cunnally Please rephrase your question w/ fewer words! "Is HRC lucky"! She always has been and continues to do so!

No. By that I mean it doesn't matter. The makings of this were set up in 08' when she was shoved aside for a younger, more dynamic model of (D). Promises were made. It's rigged. It's fun to say Rigged now that FBI/AG actually proved it to be true!

I think the heart of the question refers to the fact that both candidates have record unfavorable ratings, so it is "lucky" that Hillary is running against the candidate with the highest unfavorable ratings in history. But likewise, Trump is just as lucky to be running against the person with the second highest unfavorable ratings in history, so that his own record unfavorables are neutralized to some extent.

Here is what I have seen. We have a life long democrat winning the republican primaries. We have the head of the FBI saying not that the law was broken but that he doesn't believe they could get a conviction. It feels almost like the system is setting her up for a win.

No, I think she's going to have her hands full.

Sgt Tom Cunnally It will be a choice of the lesser of two evils and, in my opinion, the obvious choice, given the candidates, would be Donald Trump. It would be very hard for me to think of anybody worse for this country to be President than Hillary Clinton, except, possibly, Obama in a third term.

Both of them are lucky to be running against each other. I doubt there is a person on either side who wouldn't be smoking whichever one was still in.
