  1. lol…And people think Hillary won’t become president due to her ‘troubles’.

    Not only will she beat this, she’s ALREADY BEEN DECIDED as the next president.

    Accept it – or revolt.

    1. I’ve been saying it all along.

      Being that there is no ‘greater evil’ among the ‘candidates’, she’s definitely got to be their # 1 choice.
