I agree with much of what you said. I also think it would be a horrible idea to elect anyone who has an addiction to any drug. That includes alcohol.I work at a hospital where I'm often called by nursing to keep drunks and drug addicts from hurting anyone, including themselves. Having spent thousands of hours over the years talking with these people, I've learned most are good people with a kind heart.I voted for a recovering alcoholic - twice. And would do so again. A practicing alcoholic or pot head, etc., no. I am by no means a Hillary supporter in any regard, but I have seen no evidence that she is alcoholic. So that particular disqualification is not a factor in my decision not to vote for her. As for Trump, he does not drink at all so it is not a factor with him either.
Hillary is a different story. I think she has a serious problem she isn't willing to admit.
I'm convinced she has a serious problem with alcohol. I'm also surprised this hasn't come up before.
This is an issue we'll soon be seeing on the news. I'm ready to make that happen.
Stay tuned.
Few people realize the amount of character and courage that it takes for an alcoholic or drug addict to get sober and stay sober. It requires a heroic effort and deep personal insight and I have the greatest admiration for those able to accomplish it. But the truth is also that getting sober does not make an honest person of a dishonest one, and will not correct character flaws or personal instincts in anybody, or transform what is evil into saintliness. I agree Hillary Clinton has some deep seated psychology that prevents her from seeing the destructiveness of what she does, nor does she seem to have any conscience about it.
Well once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic or once an addict, always an addict. But those wise enough and strong enough to abstain from the substance that addicted them are just as competent and trustworthy as they would have been without the addiction. Sometimes more so. The wise, however, know the difference between those who have broken the addiction's hold on them, and those who have not.
