Crooked Hillary!

So what exactly are you using as your barometer here?

Barometer for what, the Clinton Foundation being worse than Watergate, or the boiling point? Either way, I'll answer both.

Watergate was undeniably a huge scandal, but it was mainly only prevalent to the US. Nixon and those working under him did a lot of terrible things, but they were directed mainly at his political adversaries and had little effect (note, not NO effect, politics always has some effect internationally no matter what, but little effect) outside of US affairs. The Clinton Foundation is different, it is very much an international presence, it has many negative effects on MANY other countries (mainly based on who they take "donations" from and then turn a blind eye to, but also some more direct effects, especially if you consider Hillary to be a subset of the Clinton Foundation, which you should, especially given many increasingly damning new pieces of evidence showing that she directly abused her position as Secretary of State and gave preferential treatment and fasttracking to people that donated to her Foundation http://www.breitbart.com/news/many-donor...-at-state/). If you consider that Hillary is a face of the Clinton Foundation, you can then add multiple other things to it's bad track record; the emails, Benghazi (willfully allowing ambassadors and an entire embassy to fall by ignoring pleas for help for months straight is not the same as killing them yourself, but it IS killing them by negligence even if it wasn't on purpose), and other topics that have already been brought up earlier in this thread. The Foundation is supposed to be a charity but in reality it's a "legal" way for her and her husband to funnel in international third party interests' money without raising suspicion.

On the boiling point, I am admittedly basing this less on fact and more on feeling based on people I talk to regularly, I can't be -sure- they will act in the ways they say they will, they could just be blowing steam, but, many of them have the armaments and the property types (typically, many of the friends of my family that I am referring to own large areas of mountainous locations in good choke-point locales, heavily forested and completely self sufficient both on food and energy; apocalypse conspiracy types through and through) to follow through, as well as the mentality to do so, many of them have a pretty deepseated dislike of all authority either because they want to be left alone or, in some cases, were previously caught trafficking moonshine or marijuana and were eventually caught. At least I assume most of them were caught, we never really delve too far into that, they get really skittish talking about that type of stuff. In hilly or mountainous areas, that type of person/family tends to thrive; every one of them are hunters, can survive indefinitely in the wilderness with or without power, and would generally be a gigantic nuisance for an established armed force, particularly one like our military that would be under constant public scrutiny and would not be able to do anything overtly unethical without getting massive backlash from the rest of the public here and worldwide. BECAUSE they are traditionally a more ethical force that historically has punished bad behavior whenever caught, there is a very good chance of mass defections within the military after some unethical missions were carried out, even if 100% of them were to support the government from the start, which is a pretty impractical stretch of logic.

Back to WHY people would go that far to begin with, think about a bunch of good old boy hillbillies and their reaction to this debacle AFTER having seen 8 years of a black man as president. I won't even bother trying to deny that, as I said in the previous post, many of their reasons are unsound, but racism and even some degree of sexism are both certainly on the list. They just had 8 years of a black man as president, they are pissed off, and here comes Hillary, not only a woman, but a woman that is blatantly flaunting the law AND in a position of power AND from a wealthy family. Now, you may call that a form of doublethink, and that they only respect the law when it is convenient to them and the rest of the time will try at every opportunity to bypass it themselves, and you would be CORRECT in that statement, but again, they aren't all that bright. Now, they are twice as pissed off. What happens when she is elected in? Currently it has reached the point where a conversation cannot even be held on any topic with them any of them without it devolving into them drinking a LOT and getting really pissed off and blowing pomegranate up to blow off frustration. Their anger can't go too much above what it is currently at before they start lashing out at others, they are already on the brink as it is. Unless you were around it, you can't have any clue how unstable those already unstable people are right at this moment in time.

It's an entirely different culture from urban and to an extent even rural culture in this country itself. They are very isolated from others, they have mild panic attacks when anyone comes near their property unannounced, they have huge wire fences surrounding their entire...what I can only call a compound, most of them have at least a few moats with breakaway bridges, pidgeon nests with sniper rifles perched in a locked safe in them, hidden rooms built into the side of the mountain that are unlisted in city blueprints, dozens of large dogs trained to kill that they have to lock away even when family or friends come to visit, all around paranoid as pineapple people. Those redneck hillbilly stories you see in old cartoons where the two families are shooting at each other from their porches with those shotguns with the funnel noses are not only real, but add modern technology and fortifications on top of that. Unless the government is willing to start firebombing forests and burning out the entire country in order to smoke them all out, there is no "easy" way of taking care of these borderline or at times full-on lunatics.
