Corruption is not on my top 35 most important issues in this or any other election cycle. It does, however, seem to be number 1 on yours. Again a place where reasonable persons can agree to disagree. Don't judge me by your priorities. There is an old saying back home about tossing away the baby and keeping the after-birth.
I don't judge you using my priorities. I will
argue that corruption should be a top priority on most people's lists.
Corruption is a tool whereby the economic and power elites control the system. The leaked emails showing how DNC consultants hired out thugs to cause violence at Trump rallies. Hillary accepting bribes via her Foundation from foreign entities prior to decisions on uranium mining. Leaked emails showing that Hillary's campaign knew her use of a private serer was wrong and conversation between her staff acknowledging trying to avoid discovery. (The Intent Comey couldn't find).
All this shows she has her machine finely tuned to ignore the law. Using money and influence to do anything she wants and then hide any evidence implicating her in wrong doing. Will all this evidence be used by any investigation? Likely not if she wins.
So, the integrity of our system is at stake. Trump is not capable of destroying the system, only the Republican party. Hillary can destroy the system as she facilitates her use of influence to bypass any and all limitations on how she may behave as President.
If you believe she is corrupt, then she threatens that system. If you accept the bribe she offers you (progressive policies)to allow her that corruption, you forsake any checks and balance against her reneging her promise when a Brazilian or some other Bank pays her enough money to toss your preferred policies under the bus. You will have allowed her the mechanism to facilitate that transaction.
For those that don't believe she is corrupt, well to each his own delusions.
