I normally don't wish ill will on people but I hope he dies of a heart attack from trying to lose weight too quickly. When you fuck with so many people's lives for your own political backroom politics he is just like all the rest of them that are currently in congress.

Politics don't work like that though, It is less hurtful to be in a scandal while in office than it is prior to running for it.

People are bringing up the Bengahzi situation for Hilary but no one gives a **** about Whitewater anymore.

So she has that as a hurdle to get over.

And it's, what, two years till the next presidential election? This scandal is gonna be ancient history by the time he starts campaigning.

I highly doubt it. When the campaign starts up that's when the muckracking and mud slinging will happen even more than now and they will dig up all the dirt they can on each other.

Another political tactic to refresh the public about all the shady scandals that happened with a candidate.

Not an old scandal. People already known they don't care about Benghazi or this whole thing with Christie and they're gonna care even less two years from now.

It's still all over the news and on those political pundit shows.

Cause if they didn't have something to bitch about they wouldn't have a job. Do you hear any outcry from anyone about Benghazi who didn't already think Obama was a socialist or a muslim? No. Because nobody cares.
