Cruz or Clinton

Our ruling

Clinton said, regarding her State Department email practices, “my predecessors did the same thing.”

This is a misleading claim chiefly because only one prior secretary of state regularly used email, Colin Powell. Powell did use a personal email address for government business, however he did not use a private server kept at his home, as Clinton did.

We rate this claim Mostly False.

So much stuff, MB, though perhaps none of it will impress you. Maybe here’s something you’ll accept - she played a key role in capturing (killing) Osama Bin Laden.

There’s much more I could write about, personally, but I am lazy, so here’s a pretty decent list (and yes, I know the site is left-leaning, but it’s not like they are making stuff up that isn’t available to anyone who cares to look): politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/carly-fiorina-debate-hillary-clintons-greatest-accomplishment-213157

I understand that some folks are fundamentally against anything HRC does, but I find it weak applesauce to ask what she’s done in her many many years of public service. That question is a rhetorical soundbite.

I find this type of response a typical white wash of a legitimate question.

• Voting to take out Osama isn’t a master stroke of intellect or sign of character. It was something than only Biden would vote against it.
• Her China speech on women? Yup it worked and China has changed it’s ways (lol). The speech was a solid PR stunt for a foreign audience, but it’s had no impact by itself.
• Managing the State Dept?

• The IG has several reports out on her failure as a manager at Dept of State.
• Increased exports A post recession economy drove exports, not bureaucrats in the State Dept.
• Strong sanctions on Iran were a no-brainer but I’ll give her that.
• Syria: She thwarted UN efforts to negotiate a cease fire in syria, which resulted in our current chaos. Syria and Libya are her children.

Her record is thin, except for throwing the Middle East into chaos.
