However, compared to Trump let's look at her qualifications and resume. Like all politicians she's not flawless but your question is specific to her accomplishments and so let's mainly focus on her Senate accomplishments.
- Let's start with Military and Vet accomplishments. She was the first NY'er to serve on the Armed Services Committee in the Senate and made veterans her main focus. Introduced the Heroes at Home Act in 2006 and 2007 to help family members care for those with traumatic brain injury. She worked to increase the military survivor benefit from $12,000 to $100,000, and cosponsored the Support for Injured Service members Act to extend benefits provided under the Family and Medical Leave Act. She also worked with Lindsey Grham to expand health care for National Guard members and reservists.
- She also introduced the Legal Immigrant Children’s Health Improvement Act, which would give states the option to provide federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP benefits to low-income legal immigrant children and pregnant women.
- She wrote a law as Senator providing grants to state and local governments to pay for respite care services for family caregivers, which allows expanded funding for temporary breaks for caregivers of sick or disabled people.
- She co-wrote a law compelling drug companies to conduct safety tests for products prescribed for children, and wrote a component of the No Child Left Behind Act authorizing funding for recruiting and retaining better teachers.
- Negotiated a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas as SOS.
There are many more but wanted to use these as key examples. The email server is peanuts compared to the big issues we face, and again I think the conservative Dallas Morning News put it into the best perspective for us. This election is no contest Donald Trump is not a qualified candidate he's been selling and defrauding in real estate he's not Commander in Chief material and he doesn't have the work history and ethic to back up anything he claims.

Thank you for your input as well as being a gentleman in your approach. However may I first suggest that "correct record.org" where you got your info from, is a wing of the Democratic Party and part of the Clinton Super Pac, which I would say would make them quite biased. That's OK, I understand as we are all biased in one way or another on any given issue.

That being said, I will give you, that what is said in the article is true, but lets get facts straight, she did only have three laws with her signature on them from January 2001 through January 2009 which would have been passed anyways and would be considered by most standards quite paltry (even you must admit that is sorry record for 8 yrs as a Congresswoman) those three laws are quite diminutive in the grand of scheme of things, as there was already a unanimous vote at the time and GW signed them into law.
"These laws were uncontroversial matters that passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and voice vote in the House and then were signed by President George W. Bush:
S. 1241: A bill to establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site in the State of New York. Bush signed the bill Dec. 3, 2004.
S. 3613: A bill to name a post office the "Major George Quamo Post Office Building." Bush signed the bill Oct. 6, 2006.
S. 3145: A bill to designate a highway in New York as the Timothy J. Russert highway. Bush signed the bill July 23, 2008".
I digress back to "correct the record" what I believe they failed to say was that she "cosponsored" these bills which in essence just means, supported a proposal for legislation. Period. In all fairness though, I will also submit to you which might even buttress your support of Hillary even more, (if that is at all possible as it does appear you are now at the pinnacle) that "while a senator, Clinton "sponsored" 703 pieces of legislation and with only three bills that became law, she had a .004 average. Clinton did, however, "co-sponsor" 2,676 pieces of legislation, 74 of which became law".
The fact still remains she only signed 3 nonsensical bills that would have been passed anyway.
Thanks for the dialogue :-) I do believe that this should be a learning process for both side as I am a dedicated Sapiophile/Sapiosexual
