Yes, and?

Do you really think that Comey wouldn't have recommended charges if he had the goods on Clinton and her staff?

There is no and. I didn't say that she committed a crime, Comey didn't say she committed a crime and there was no reference to criminality in the post I originally responded to. This is all in your head. Do you think she may have committed a crime? Why so defensive?

I, for one, am decidedly uncomfortable with the idea of having such a person as President and it's my opinion that everyone should be. For somewhat different reasons, I see her as being no different from Trump when it comes to competence.

There is a double standard, and I'm not saying that there shouldn't be in this case. Did it rise to the standard of indicting the Democratic nominee for president ? If she were not the Democratic nominee would she have been indicted ?

She's not the Democratic nominee, just as Trump isn't the Republican nominee.

Gross negligence and incompetence. Try how that works on your resume?

I'll take Clinton any day over a racist, misogynistic and bigoted failed casino mogul and so will a clear majority of the rest of the country.

But that's not how I perceive your behavior here. You are a one man marching band for Hillary instead of being quietly thankful that she only has Trump to beat. And putting Trump down only goes to show that she is not that much better either since both have near equal negatives, and that's never going to reduce.
In the end, the less people know about Hillary, the better off she will be.

I don't see their negatives as being equal. Not even close to equal.....

Not where I was going, and please don't assume my logic is as bad as that.
Here's what I meant: you questioned 'irrational hatred.' You might deny both words, or only one of them. My point kind of is that people who hate just about always think their particular ill feeling is highly rational. I say disapproval can be rational, but hate? Never.
