What Really Chaps Trump, The Republicans and The Clinton Haters

Hillary Clinton has not held an elected office in over nine years which goes back to the days when she served as the U.S. Senator from New York.  Yet she remains the focus of attack for Trump and his supporters.  What really chaps them is Hillary has been investigated by three separate republican committees controlled by the republican party and the only thing they could find was Hillary's use of a private server instead of a government server.  And unlike Trump with Mueller's investigation, Hillary testified before those republican controlled committees.

But Hillary's use of a private server later exposed the fact that Condi Rice and Colin Powell who served as Secretary of State during the George W. Bush administration also used private servers.  And also members of Trump's cabinet and staff did the same thing.  What also chaps Trump, his party and the Hillary haters is the fact that Hillary's comments about Trump's lack of qualifications to be President has proved to be true and so has her prediction of Trump's involvement with Russia.

So now President Trump is still the subject of Mueller's investigation that has already produced several guilty pleas and several indictments of people associated with Trump's Presidential campaign.  And Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort will be standing trial this month for his indictment.  Hillary was not the crooked Presidential candidate after all as Trump tried to sell.  But people who follow the truth never took the bait because they knew who the crooked Presidential candidate really was.

Trump has been in office a full 18 months, more than enough time to prove he is a man.  He not only has failed that test with his personal attacks on others, along with his lack of respect, he has failed the test of the Presidency itself with his traitorous acts.  Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 election by a wide margin because the voters knew she was the best qualified for the job and that she was more of a woman than Trump is a man.  Some things never change, especially facts.

There is no evidence that Hillary's use of a private server compromised the state department or other government functions.  There is evidence that Trump's actions with Putin and his campaign actions to work with Russian operatives to obtain dirt on Hillary and support the Trump campaign against Hillary put our democratic election process at risk.  The Trump campaign even stooped to the low of trying to set up a back channel with Russia to escape transparency.

Hillary Clinton was a public servant and a patriot who understood what America and its values are all about and she still speaks out on the issues facing America.  On the other hand, Trump  has only Trump.  And that really says it all.
