wasn't her claim, it was the FBI's findings.
You getting inebriated and claiming you didn't willfully do it has nothing to do with this.
Failing a breathalyzer - or refusing a breathalyzer is spelled out in statute. According to statute regarding whatever it was HRC is being accused of -
Oranges are not apples
And false equivalency is that

Reminds me of the old joke. Two guys are sitting in the bar and one is sobbing into his beer. The other asks, "What's wrong?" The first responds, "I drink because of my problem!" The other then asks "Well, what is your problem?" The response? "I drink too much!"

Assuming this is the same video I've seen plastered all over Facebook... tell me how being asked whether she is trust worthy is sexist?

I was wondering that myself. I believe their point is that their is a double standard at play. Men are never (okay, rarely if ever) called out like this so directly. The tone of some of those questions was "since we all know you are a liar, how could anyone ever trust you?" I can't ever remember a male politician being questioned like that.

Collins freely admits that she’s worked well with Hillary Clinton in the past. But she ruled out voting for the Democrat, telling CNN that Clinton wanted to spend too much money. (“Promises of free this and free that, that I believe would bankrupt our country.”) Faced with a choice between a guy who could compromise national security and a woman who wants universal early childhood education, the former chairwoman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee claimed to be at a loss for an answer.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Hoping to quell the controversy over e-mails missing from her private account, the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday released twenty thousand spam e-mails she received from Old Navy.
“In an effort to be transparent, I have gone above and beyond what is required of me by law and released every last e-mail I received from this retailer,” she told reporters. “Now I think we can all consider this case closed.”
The e-mails reveal an extensive one-way correspondence between Clinton and Old Navy, as the retailer sometimes contacted her up to a dozen times in a single day to inform her of sales and other offers.
“This is one of the main reasons I set up a private e-mail account,” she said. “I did not want spam from Old Navy clogging up the State Department servers.”
But if the former Secretary of State thought that she could end the controversy swirling around her e-mail account by releasing the Old Navy spam, she may have miscalculated.
Representative Trey Gowdy, the Republican chairman of the House Benghazi select committee, questioned why Clinton would let twenty thousand spam e-mails from Old Navy accumulate rather than simply unsubscribe. “It doesn’t pass the smell test,” he said.
Responding to that allegation, Clinton said, “I want the American people to know that, on multiple occasions, I tried to unsubscribe from Old Navy, and my requests were ignored. The most frustrating part of this whole affair is that I’ve never even bought anything from Old Navy.”

The funnest part of the campaign so far (to me) is the Faux Scandal of the Day

Here’s the bottom line: Serving as secretary of state while your husband raises millions of dollars for a charitable foundation that is also a vehicle for your family’s political ambitions really does create a lot of space for potential conflicts of interest. Journalists have, rightly, scrutinized the situation closely. And however many times they take a run at it, they don’t come up with anything more scandalous than the revelation that maybe billionaire philanthropists have an easier time getting the State Department to look into their visa problems than an ordinary person would.

I would love to see HRC discuss the issues with Gary johnson or Jane Stein -- but I wonder if they wouldn't fall into the same rabbit hole of Clinton Scandal .
Bernie did -- Donald did -- her Senate opponents did
she won all of those races
I can think of one that didn't
Hmmm
......
So how long before Fox figures out, she leaks the scandals
and that, is the scandal
?

The First Time Hillary Clinton Was President
What her Wellesley classmates remember about Hillary’s first term—in 1968.
By Michael Kruse,August 26, 2016
WELLESLEY, Mass.—In the fall of 1968, in the wake of one of the most violent, volatile summers in American history, as young people clashed with police and clamored for an end to the war in Vietnam and the draft and for greater racial justice and women’s rights, the student body president at Wellesley College stood in front of the incoming freshman class and talked to them about the merits of conversation and committees.
“On some campuses, change is effected through non-violent or even violent means,” not-yet-21-year-old Hillary Rodham, the future Hillary Clinton, told the approximately 400 newest students of the country’s preeminent women’s college. “Although we, too, have had our demonstrations, change here is usually a product of discussion in the decision-making process.” She had just spent much of her summer in Washington, interning on Capitol Hill. At a historic juncture of acute anti-establishment fervor, she told them to trust the system. Progress at Wellesley, she explained, “often results through action taken by the Senate of the College Government Association.”
The idea of “President Hillary” in 2016 is thrilling for some and scary to others. But for one small group—students at Wellesley in 1968 and ‘69—it is a phenomenon they have already lived through. And while the student presidency has only so much in common with the job she’s bidding for now—welcoming new students is not exactly a state of the union address—what she did in elected office as a junior and senior in college turned out to be remarkably predictive of the kind of politician she has become.

Hillary dividing and conquering. I personally would love to see her hang Trump around the GOP's neck and sink them all. But her centrist self knows she will have to work with what's left of the R party. She seems to think the cancerous tumor is removable.

Whatever else Hilldog is, she is the dictionary definition of "politician". I don't think she'll have that much trouble getting Ryan, McConnel, et al from eating out of her hand. Plus given the scorched earth policy Trump has had on his rivals, including Senate members like Cruz, Rucio, Kasich, and the rest, she could just tell them quietly that given their support she'll give them their chance at "payback" at some point in the future and I think she could get every one of them on board sooner rather than later.

They won't be eating out of her hand, but I do think they will find her less objectionable than the current President. She's a centrist and while there are clearly substantial parts of her platform that many Americans do not agree with, I think she's someone who wants to move things forward and she will be less ideologically driven (or perceived as such) than Obama has been.
