If anybody knows why it's so important to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, it’s Hillary Clinton, his 2016 presidential opponent. You may recall that one of the features of that campaign was Trump and his supporters chanting “lock her up!” Yet none of Trump’s two attorney generals or two acting attorney generals ever found a crime to charge her with. None of us can count on such legal ethics and propriety in a second Trump term.

Addressing those who don’t see “what difference it would make” to vote for Biden over Trump, Clinton said this to Democratic elections legal star Marc Elias:

CLINTON: “They say, oh you know Joe Biden's old.” I always say, “Look you're right, Joe Biden is old. He’s also effective. He’s compassionate. He cares about people. He wants to maintain our democracy. He will abide by the results of a fair and free election.”

And Donald Trump is old and he has 91 felony criminal indictments [sic] against him. And in a court of law, it’s not just rhetoric. You’ve got to step up and prove evidence. That’s one of the reasons you win so many cases, Marc, because the other side is in there just carrying on, making claims they can’t prove, and you actually step up and you’ve got facts and you’ve got evidence. How novel! And you win because you have a better case.

This man has been indicted 91 times. And do we really expect him to govern in a stable, appropriate, rules-based, respectful way? Of course not.

The entire interview is about 44 minutes long. In it, Clinton continued by saying that if you think Trump is entertaining, politics is boring and you don’t see why voting for Biden will make a difference, “you cannot think like that in this election, no matter what issue you care about.”

Can you help us out?
