INTRODUCTION
H illary Clintonyoure either for her or you are against her. And if youre against her, youll find an ample stockpile of reasons in this book to help you convince your friends, family, coworkers, and even complete strangers of why they should be, too. Its important that youre involved because Hillary is on a trajectory that might make her the most powerful person in the world for the next four years! Even Senator Lindsey Graham, who ran for a while in the Republican primaries, who doesnt like Hillary, who calls her the most dishonest person in America even he thinks that shell be the next president of the United States if she runs against Donald Trump. So this election matters. And if you care, you should read my books.
By trade Im a syndicated columnist, multi-published author, professional speaker, and Trivia Guy with Guinness World Recordholding credentials, but theres nothing trivial when it comes to deciding the next president of the United States. Your decision of whom to vote for in the 2016 campaign puts you in the personal mix for the future of yourself, your family, friends, and, most importantly, for America.
In trying to find the slippery and fragmented truth in this complicated political landscape, you have to blend public pronouncements and media coverage with personal feelings. Its hard to speak softly, to think before you shout. Normally Im not one to orate on national politics from the top of Mount Pundit, but when you write about politics, youre forced to raise your voice. And it also helps to have a sense of humor.
Politics is big business. Most politicians acknowledge that, at least privately. And like all businesses, politics has specific rules of the roads, paths, and processes. These affect how candidates are perceived and elected, who gets into office, or who falls by the wayside. So if one aims to be the next president of the United States, she not only needs to be a great speaker and motivator, but an expert on how the political system works and how this affects voter choices. No one understands those key points better than Hillary Clinton.
All her angles, aspects, and strategies are covered. She not only plays the game, but shes the referee and also the fan in the stands. Shes that good at what she does bestbeing a longtime successful politician in the limelight. Shes a rabble rouser and crowd pleaser with whomever shes in front of. Theres no denying that.
All voters make decisions, but so many make choices based on things as trivial as a candidates untimely smirk, or sweat in front of a camera, or hairdo, or clothes. Elections arent just about voting for someone. Its equally valid and in fact your duty to vote against a candidate if you feel she is absolutely the worst possible choice to be president. Many voters form their opinions on national political figures for purely personal or outrageously partisan reasons. That seems to be human nature.
Here in these pages Ive given you 101 solid reasons to vote against her. They are not listed in any order of priority. The 1101 numbering simply helps as reference points. Whatever your feelings toward Hillary Clinton, these reasons will better prepare you to participate in the upcoming battle to choose the next president of the United States of America.
Your opinion and vote truly matter.

P.S. For the well-rounded picture, be sure to check out my other work, 101 Reasons to Vote for Hillary , covering the other side of Hillary Clintons political coin. Thanks, and happy voting!
Shes married to Bill. Seriously, do you need any more reasons than that? His nickname is Slick Willy. Hes one of only two US presidents ever to be impeached. He looked the American people in the eye and lied. And what did Hillary do? She stood by her man.
Does anyone want a third term for Obama? President Hillary Clinton would be just that if she wins. Obamacare would be here to stay, more government spending designed to punish small business while coddling the poor, and a foreign policy so weak and misguided that Americas allies dont know if they can trust us anymore, and Americas enemies dont fear us.
Hillary spent four years as secretary of state, a plum assignment that came her way in what seems to have been a thank you from Obama for supporting him in the general election. Will her name rank up there with Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Kissinger, and James Baker? What did she accomplish in four years? Benghazi.
Her tenure as a senator from New York was from January 2001 to January 2009. During those years only three bills she sponsored became law. Only three! They were uncontroversial matters that passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and voice vote in the House. The question that needs to be addressed: isnt a lawmaker supposed to pass bills? Its certainly true that buddy-buddy senators customarily have their names listed as many times as possible as cosponsors of bills. Hillary Clinton had her name as sponsor on three laws in eight years with not a single piece of landmark legislation. Some accomplishments!
Now shes a diehard Democrat, but as a young woman she was active in Republican groups and campaigned for Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater in 1964. Her flip-flopping tendencies have carried over into the remainder of her political life, especially on the border crisis regarding innocent immigrant children. She cosponsored The Dream Act that would allow the children of illegal immigrants to earn legal status in this country if they pursue a college education or enlist in the military. Earlier, she was adamantly against illegal immigrants and now is promising to push for citizenship for those in the country illegally. More of this same continual flip-flopping on issues is to be expected if she becomes president.
Whats her main qualification? Thats shes smarter? Thats shes tougher? That she is better able to keep America safe? No. Her number one qualification seems to be that shes a woman. Weve had eight years of another president who was a first, and look what that got us. We dont need more affirmative action. We need conservative action.
