    If what is happening in the Trump Camp were happening with Hillary, would Trump supporters treat these revelations as lightly, or demand investigations and a possible impeachment of Mrs. Clinton?
    Would the conflicts of interest that deal with Trump bother you, if they were the same conflicts of interest with Hillary?
    Would you approve the same type of people appointed to Trump's "cabinet" if Hillary were the one doing the appointments?
    Would you be demanding answers or the ties to Russia that have been connected to certain Trump operatives?

    I figure I already know the answers, but I want to hear from you.

    Hillary wouldn't be appointing anyone differently than Obama did. His cabinet was garbage, and make Flynn look like Jesus Christ in comparison.

    Try not to live in a Fantasy World. Hillary & Obama are over. Wake up.

    If liberals are involved there will definitely be double standards...

    If you want to know how conservatives would have treated Hillary just look back at how they treated Obama. There were no riots, there was not endless whining, there was no manufacturing of hate crimes. Conservatives didn't like Obama, but they didn't go acting the fool for months on end like these liberals clowns are now...

    They already called for the impeachment of Hillary before the election, lol. The thing is though, Republicans aren't the type to be whiny and protest, they are the kind of people that just make violent threats and call people communists. So the rhetoric would be different, but the reaction generally the same.

    Jesus - you want to have a more loaded poll question?
    How about:
    1. I love Trump
    2. I am evil and eat babies

    I voted "Yes", but I'd only extend that for that Hallowed " Honeymoon" period.

    The Clintons have been in government service long enough, to have a solid grasp as to how politics , & most importantly, Politicians, work..

    Oddly enough, that's likely why we're not talking about this regarding to Trump as the "Loser".

    You would support every second of it.
    So yes - there's a double standard.

    I always joke that Republicans are the type of people who complain at what they see on TV, but never take action. They might throw their Bud Light cans at the TV screen, or yell profanities whenever a democrat comes on TV, and hopefully their dentures won't fall out. But democrats take action. Those protests at airports everywhere made progress in repealing Trump's obscene travel ban. More progress than all that time Republicans have complained about Obamacare.
