I do not support either candidate (and honestly think the 2 party system is a bit shit), but I would like to point out the fact that she failed to disclose/provide, and basically deleted data that was requested by a court of law (some of which they later retrieved since it seems she didn't actually zero the memory).

She's clearly not accountable to the same set of rules that others (maybe just people who aren't rich enough to deftly use/manipulate the system) live by in the US. Maybe it's just afforded to former first ladies, that might be the case too.

Unless I'm sorely mistaken:

1. A court requested a private mail server from her

2. She deleted/modified stuff on it, then gave it to them

3. She's not in jail

Given 1 and 2, I would normally expect 3 to not be the case (in short, I would expect her to be in jail).

And that she is much better option that Trump says a lot.

I agree completely 100%. Like I said, I have many issues with her myself, and would not want her to be president. But still better than trump, who is unpredictable and incredibly racist

Yeah, I definitely agree. It sucks because I consider myself a conservative, and for a while was really hoping that trump was just committing to some super duper long-con troll, by saying the most outrageous/offensive/clearly factually inaccurate things possible.

I thought the most interesting angle to him was that he wasn't tied to the money structure (since he's already rich), and could really shake things up (and by shake things up I mean destroy everything with incompetency), but now it's scary to consider someone with his persona (I'd like to credit him with not actually believing/being the things he says) could actually gain traction in a society of reasonable individuals.
