Criminologist Likens Bill and Hillary To “Ordinary Criminals”

As a criminologist I see one common thread among the numerous items in the Clintons’ baggage—the unfair exploitation of opportunity for relatively quick pleasures.  I also see that they have very little regard for the long-term negative consequences of those decisions.  They have low self-control, in other words, just like all “ordinary criminals.”  Ordinary criminals are the vast majority of arrestees almost everywhere.  You don’t have to be a criminologist to figure it out.
Not voting for the Clintons because they have lousy character is very different than not voting for them because one disagrees with their public policies.  Severe character flaws are non-negotiable with the voters.  Therefore, especially in regard to the crucial independent vote and narrow margins in swing states, Bill and Hillary know that they must somehow project enough high humanity to deflect attention away from their well-documented history of exploiting unfair advantage.  Nobody really knows the minimum amount of extra humanity that is needed to put Hillary into the White House, but every bit helps.  It’s simple identity management.
