Two famous families of Bushes and Clintons had governed in Washington for 20 years. And now another member of the Clinton family is running for presidency.
Hillary Clinton isn't a newcomer in politics. Though she has a reputation of a successful politician but it's difficult to mention her merits. All of them (if any) can be easily crossed out by the scandalous failures.
Hillary often acted thoughtlessly, irresponsibly, hypocritically and falsely. There's no need to mention the scandal with personal email account instead of an official government account. But some of her mistakes and wrong decisions led to fatal consequences.
There is no doubt that as Secretary of State she played a crucial role in the decision by the US to intervene on the side of the anti-Gaddafi rebels. But there was nothing behind that decision but Hillary's mad desire to topple a dictator as her husband Bill Clinton had done in former Yugoslavia and George Bush in Iraq.
There was no strategy. As a result Libya is torn apart, ruled by warlords reliant on terror and torture. Thousands are sailing to Europe from massacre and drowning in the Mediterranean.
Moreover, security failings led to the murder of United States ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in the US consulate in Benghazi on 11 September 2012. As is known, Hillary Clinton was aware of security problems but did nothing.
Every Hillary's campaign for presidency is accompanied by scandals revealing her mendacity and hypocrisy. During a George Washington University campaign event in 2008 Clinton said on a 1996 trip to Bosnia she came under sniper fire and was forced to run for cover. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base,” she said.
Clinton’s claim was found to be false. Her story was ridiculed by ABC News as "like a scene from Saving Private Ryan". When caught lying she tried to find a silly excuse but in vain. There's no way to rebuilt people's trust.
Hillary doesn't seem to make conclusions from her mistakes. In January 2016, during her new presidential campaign she accused her opponent Bernie Sanders of supporting the National Rifle Association and voting with the gun lobby.
“I have made it clear based on Senator Sanders’ own record that he has voted with the NRA, with the gun lobby numerous times,” Clinton said. But Hillary was far from honest because her largest donors — and some of the largest contributors to the Clinton Foundation — are connected directly or indirectly with the defense industry and the gun lobby.
Indeed, Hillary Clinton tops the list of presidential hopefuls receiving defense lobbyist contributions — outpacing even the top Republican candidates. On March 21, according to The Intercept, a fundraising rally for Clinton’s campaign will be hosted in part by Jeff Forbes of the lobbying firm Forbes-Tate, who had lobbied for the National Rifle Association until 2016.
More than that, she cooperates with many financial corporations. According to Bloomberg, Hillary was paid $12 million in the 16 months after leaving her role as US secretary of state. Knowing she'd likely run for president, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley (and other big Wall Street corporations) gladly paid her $2.9 million in speaking fees alone.
There's no doubt, making her way for the Presidency, Hillary Clinton is ready to put aside any moral rules. She can easily justify any false statement and doesn't care if it sounds truthfully. It seems there's just a one principle she follows: the end justifies the means. And no matter how dirty they are.
