   During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was   
   fond of promising America, “You get two for the price of one,”   
   indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.   
      
   But the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top   
   power couple brought a load of baggage with them into the White   
   House from their days in Arkansas.   
      
   After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the   
   political scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to   
   target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of   
   Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even attempts to loot   
   taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also   
   witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and   
   Pardongate.   
      
   Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent impeachment by   
   the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and   
   obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American   
   public life and bitterly divided the nation.   
      
   In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has   
   brought America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among   
   others. New developments in the Clinton Foundation scandals   
   emerges almost daily.   
      
   Now, it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her   
   Democrat supporters.   
      
   But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton   
   fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April   
   revealed between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three   
   significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe   
   Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.   
      
   Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told   
   WND that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince   
   members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as   
   the party’s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky   
   idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in   
   the ring.   
      
   Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said   
   Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the   
   “cloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.”   
      
   Rubio told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her   
   husband’s presidency, her time in the Department of State, her   
   campaign for the president last time and even now, there seems   
   to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that distract us   
   from the core issues of the moment.”   
      
   Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a   
   time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.   
      
   “I just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we   
   are asked to make a transition from the past into this new   
   future, with all the challenges and the opportunities of our   
   time that we really – the American people are not at a point now   
   where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding   
   the political process,” he said.   
      
   In 2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton   
   scandals from Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary   
   law partner Vince Foster in an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.   
      
   Walters asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your   
   whole credibility is being questioned?”   
      
   Hillary’s response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara,   
   because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”   
      
   With Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught   
   up in the lies and spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own   
   Words,” find out who the true Hillary is with this raw and   
   humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her   
   hypocrisy   
      
   With the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency   
   looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary   
   “drama” in the White House?   
      
   If, as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior   
   is past behavior,” then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals   
   involving Hillary is in order.   
      
   16) Hillary’s radical pal, Saul Alinsky   
      
   As WND has reported, the exact nature and extent of Hillary’s   
   relationship with radical community organizer Saul Alinsky has   
   long been the subject of speculation and intrigue. The interest   
   has been largely fueled by her suppressed and later released 92-   
   page senior thesis for Wellesley College offering an extensive,   
   largely positive critique of Alinsky and his work.   
      
   WND recently found that long after Alinsky’s death in June 1972,   
   a group Clinton co-chaired maintained a working relationship   
   with Alinsky’s main community organizing outfit, the Industrial   
   Areas Foundation, or IAF.   
      
   The partnership extended into the 1990s and yielded influence   
   over the education policy of the Clinton presidency. Dick   
   Morris, a former top political adviser to Bill Clinton both as   
   governor of Arkansas and as president, noted to WND that   
   education reform “is the key issue Hillary Clinton used to   
   propel herself independently to the forefront of Arkansas   
   politics during Bill’s governorship.”   
      
   “The revelation of how closely linked her efforts were back in   
   the 80s – and have been since – to an Alinsky radical front   
   group is deeply disturbing and expands our understanding of   
   Hillary’s fundamental radicalism and commitment to the new left   
   of Saul Alinsky,” Morris said.   
      
   Hillary was said to have met with Alinsky several times in 1968,   
   when she was writing her thesis. In her most recent memoir,   
   Hillary wrote that she rejected a job offer from Alinsky to   
   instead attend law school.   
      
   The Hillary-Alinsky relationship received more media attention   
   last September, when the Washington Free Beacon uncovered direct   
   correspondence between Clinton and Alinsky from the archives of   
   Alinsky’s IAF. The correspondence dates to the summer of 1971,   
   when the 23-year-old Clinton was living in Berkeley, California,   
   and interning at the law firm Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein. In   
   a July 8, 1971, letter to Alinsky marked “personal,” Hillary   
   wrote: “Dear Saul, When is that new book [Rules for Radicals]   
   coming out – or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment   
   of Revelation?   
      
   “I have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille   
   [for Radicals] and need some new material to throw at people,”   
   she wrote, referring to a 1948 Alinsky treatise on community   
   organizing.   
      
   The Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman noted the letter documents   
   Hillary and Alinsky had kept in touch since she entered Yale and   
   that Alinsky even offered her advice on campus activism.   
      
   Hillary wrote that she missed their regular conversations and   
   asked if Alinsky would be able to meet her the next time he was   
   in California.   
      
   “I am living in Berkeley and working in Oakland for the summer   
   and would love to see you,” she wrote. “Let me know if there is   
   any chance of our getting together.”   
      
   Sounds like Obama and Bill Ayers...
