The subject was the Clinton scandals.
Colmes reaction was: ‘they are the Clintons {chuckle}.’

It is disgusting to see commentators, media and even politicians just shrug off every whiff of scandal that involves the Clintons as business as usual.
Scandal, especially recurring scandal, should NEVER be business as usual and especially not when it involved politicians.
The enemy monitors this site; look for TED CRUZ PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER to pop up on lefty blogs in 3...2...1...
NAILED!
This time, it’s the Democrats who have to be nervous.
Your list explains why. We need to remember it.
Thanks, dear Liz.

Undecided races at time of publication also went Republican.
It is difficult to discuss Hillary!™’s crack troops without sounding crass.
” “its a double standard, no-one else is having these same questions asked to them. Is it because she is a woman?”
(yep, no one is asking Ted Cruz about his private email server.
LOL!
Lets give them a challenge.
No one no one is asking Ted Cruz about his private email server that he used as Secretary of State when he blamed the terrorist attacks on our embassy on a youtube video....
Hillary is being held to a different standard than Cruz is for being a strong woman...,
and how about calling her by her first name ??? Obviously sexist.
” No one no one is asking Ted Cruz about his private email server that he used as Secretary of State when he blamed the terrorist attacks on our embassy on a youtube video....”
This will now be posted on the internet : )
Call her Mrs. Clinton. That'll REALLY pee her off!
LOL - yep - because she’s a woman...
Well Liz - we DO think they're fools. That's a judgement. AND we think they're brain-dead... Maybe they have a point about us being judgemental...
And yet, no left-wing, liberal, communist, progressive, or non-white racist position has ever been eliiminated since the New Deal.
Some might have had their growth slowed, temporarily.
