    1. You don't know who murdered Seth Rich. Nobody does.
    2. Yup, the routine of telling the bankers one thing and the plebs something else was a problem. That said, you don't know who she was lying to, Goldman or the voters. Also, that's probably not a bigger problem than Donald Trump living in an alternate universe that changes from day to day. Had HRC been running against, say, Dwight Eisenhower, I would have voted for Ike.

    That decision is not difficult in any way to be honest.

    Had HRC been running against an inanimate carbon rod, I would have voted for the inanimate carbon rod.

      Unfortunately for all of us, she was running against someone who has demonstrated he can do a lot more damage than an inanimate carbon rod.

    Who has the money? Voters: nope. Wall St: yep.

    We know who she was lying to and anyone who doesn't is deluded.

    The motivation was certainly there, and it is by far the most powerful motivation of all realistic choices. The means was there. The circumstances contradict the official narrative. Are you asking people to believe in a highly unlikely coincidence? Do you apply this reasoning to all your positions, or just ones that support your particular internal narrative?
