Trump would be an idiot to order someone to stop the investigation at this point. It would MAKE him look guilty and people would dig even harder. So if he is guilty, he would be putting the noose around his neck, and if he is innocent, he would be making himself look guilty for no reason.

Yes, so he's an idiot. Next question.

Reduced to a pathetic attempt to score cheap points, eh?

It's funny how liberals want us to believe that Trump is an idiot, yet he ran circles about their "best and brightest" during the campaign, he's turned the mainstream media into a laughingstock, and allegedly colluded with Russia so skillfully that not only did he win the election, but he left behind no evidence of his nefarious dealings. And he has done it all in the face of considerable resistance from both parties.

Not bad for an idiot.

Hillary has been billed as "the smartest woman in the world" since the 1990s. Right before the 2016 campaign started you had Joe Scarborough on his Morning Joe show gushing about how "she may be the smartest person on the stage and in politics right now" and Cokie Roberts Hillary giddily proclaiming that she "knows everything about every issue." Even during the campaign when it became evident that she was doing some incredibly stupid things this mantra continued. For example you had Amie Parnes, senior White House correspondent for The Hill telling Charlie Rose even after she lost "She could do anything...She will always be the smartest woman in the room."

When Hillary is at one of her rallies or on an MSNBC talk show she probably is the smartest person in the room.
The fact she isn't wearing a helmet and a bib prove it.

That's not a very nice thing to say about the Secret Service agents who have to protect her.

Hillary was a policy wonk who wasn't very charismatic, and terrible at having mud stick to her from scandals. We had a better version of her as leader of NZ for 9 years, Helen Clark, who was a policy wonk who actually was reasonably charismatic and also had the nickname "Teflon" for the way scandals just slid off her. She went on to do one of the top UN jobs for 8 years.

Unfortunately for the UK, their current leader, Theresa May, seems to be a Hillary clone.

I remember when she visited New Zealand and repeated her claim that she was named after Edmund Hillary. She was darn near laughed out of the country after that whopper.

Really? I'm unable to find any evidence that ever happened. Sources say she made the claim in Nepal. The only NZ media article I can find that mentions it at all is a cached version of an article that lists '10 obscure facts' about Clinton and #10 is:

10. When Hillary met Sir Edmund Hillary in Nepal in 1995, she told the press that her mother had named her after the famed climber. That was later proven false as Clinton was born in 1947 and Sir Ed made his famous ascent of Mt Everest in 1953. She should more than make up for her mistake in tomorrow's visit, where she is expected to make a significant announcement about a further thawing in the relationship between the US and New Zealand.

Bear in mind that NZers generally liked Clinton - US election: New Zealanders would overwhelmingly vote for Hillary Clinton, poll finds: "76 per cent of Australians and Kiwis would cast their ballot for the former US secretary of state."

Ah rogue and his endless hate campaign against Hillary!

Does a white lie, presumably to diplomatically ingratiate herself with her hosts, even begin to compare to the racially-based “whopper” perpetrated by Trump about Obama’s place of birth? Answer: No it does not.

You're right. It was in Nepal. The mocking in New Zealand started after Bill Clinton repeated the already discredited claim again in his autobiography My Life nearly a decade later.

Again let's ignore how Hillary's campaign helped to popularize that racially-based whopper.

Um, your link says it "raised eyebrows". Is that mocking?
