The question begs did he later smoke the Cigar and did it have a wrapper for safe sex.....
I don't know what's worse. The fact that we're focusing on incidents that had nothing to do with HilClint or the fact we're overlooking bigger issues like she didn't use a very secure email system while holding public office.
But let's focus on the cigar and her defunct husband's choices for mating rituals.

I think it's only fair to cover Mr. Carson's retraction and apology for the comments he made. I will reserve judgement, however, given his previous comparison of gays.
It's kind of a shame too - I admire him for his achievements in Neurosurgery and Pediatrics. (Netflix is currently has the movie based on his life story available for streaming.)
Ben Carson sorry for saying being gay is a choice
Catalina Camia, USA TODAY
Presidential hopeful Ben Carson apologized Wednesday night for saying being gay is a choice, following a backlash over his assertion that prisons are evidence that homosexuality is an option.
"In a recent interview on CNN, I realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues," said the retired neurosurgeon and Republican on Facebook. "I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended."
Carson launched a 2016 presidential exploratory committee earlier this week. He has a faithful following among conservatives, and is doing better in some public opinion polls than some better-known Republicans seeking the White House.
When asked earlier in the day by CNN's Chris Cuomo if he believes being gay was a choice, Carson replied: "Absolutely."
"Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they're gay," he told CNN. "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."
The American Psychological Association and other medical groups have concluded that homosexuality is not a matter of choice.
Carson, who gained notoriety as a surgeon for his work separating conjoined twins, noted in his Facebook statement that he is a political neophyte.
"I answered a question without really thinking about it thoroughly. No excuses," he said. "I deeply regret my statement and I promise you, on this journey, I may err again, but unlike politicians when I make an error I will take full responsibility and never hide or parse words."

What amazes me even more is that not only was this an ongoing practice which spanned multiple administrations, but that the National Archives and Records Administration didn't issue the relevant guidance in regards to the prohibition of the use of private email for official government business until late 2013.
I mean, we are talking about ELECTRONIC MAIL here, which pre-dates the internet by DECADES. And no one thought about codifying this policy until a little over a year ago?
So the first clown out of the clown car is Ted Cruz, ladies and gentlemen!
Ted Cruz.
• Voted to defund Obamacare
• Voted against the Violence Against Women Act
• Opposes the Voter Rights Act
• Supports privatizing Social Security
• Opposes comprehensive immigration reform
Seems like he's running a tight campaign that should attract many here!
