needs to take her on a vacation and tell her that going bad on him only rebounds on her. If she were liked, it might work but she isn't. Only to a certain group is she palatable but that only constitutes about 1% of the pop.

This is her record. Please defend. 'Meh' doesn't work for me as a response. I'm kinda shocked that if any Foreign Policy question of her record (which was her job!!!) is offered, there are actual responses from Clinton supporters asking what that has to do with anything. I'm not going to re-post them, because if it was me, I'd be mortified at having th3ese statements attached to my honor.
