I for one, would love to see Hillary win the presidency, and immediately be put through the type of public humiliation that Gen. James Cartwright has endured recently. Simply to preserve the thought that the American justice system will continue to bring people to justice, no matter their status.

Remember when Hillary told the entire world the nuclear response time? That was rich. I really think that she either thinks she isn't accountable to anyone, OR she still has a good deal of brain damage. Either way, she's completely unacceptable.

My personal prediction, if she wins, Obama will immediately pardon her and all her cronies for all crimes they may or may not have committed.

If she loses, he won't care what happens to her.

I don't think he can pardon her until convicted. Can she pardon herself?

She could pardon herself. Pres. Ford pardoned Nixon without a conviction.

You're right. Congress could impeach her though.

Yes, I would imagine pardoning yourself so you weren't sent to prison wouldn't help her cause.

Nope. Not once have I thought you are an ignoramus. Never considered that for 1 second. I think you never Trump folks are sincere - and are making a mistake. Trump has flaws and is offensive. But Trump does want to do the right thing for this country - turn the economy around, control the border, control the national debt, clean out the corrupt IRS, corrupt DOJ, and stop importing Middle Eastern Muslims without thorough vetting. It's common sense stuff the corrupt democrats ignore.

I have posted this before before. I'm not sure if you guys really "get it." Trump was not my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th choice. He's simply the last man standing and the ONLY candidate that can beat Hillary. And - Trump can beat Hillary. For the future of the country - Hillary needs to be defeated.

I sincerely believe the last best chance the GOP/Conservatives had to really turn things around was electing Mitt Romney. His 2012 loss was devastating for this country. Trump is a sorry last gasp - but he is light years ahead of the corrupt, lying, deceitful, criminal Hillary and her Gadianton robber democrats.

A president can pardon himself/herself, but to do so would guarantee impeachment. Hence the precedent of resigning (a better fate than impeachment) and having the Vice President rise to the presidency and pardon his predecessor "for the good of the country."

Trump has a shot. If he would push what Ddag said, he could pull it out. I will not vote for corruption.
