Hillary Clinton boasts that her experience traveling to 112 countries as secretary of state qualifies her to be president. Don’t believe it.

Evidence shows she left the State Department in shambles and our nation weaker. Her record at Foggy Bottom disqualifies her to be president.

Her failures go beyond leaving four Americans to die in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, the ridiculous Russian “reset” and the carnage in Syria that she and President Obama idly watched unfold — and that gets more horrific daily.

A string of investigative reports from the Obama administration shows that she botched key management jobs as secretary of state, threatening American lives and our diplomatic secrets.

Clinton’s State Department repeatedly rebuffed requests for additional security for the vulnerable compound at Benghazi, Libya. The result? Heavily armed terrorists were able to storm the compound and kill Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

But Benghazi wasn’t an isolated case. Clinton failed to secure diplomatic posts in Pakistan, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and other global hot spots. Internal State Department reports show the posts lacked emergency plans in case of attack. Guards assigned to them had no training in chemical or biological threats and, amazingly, some hadn’t undergone background checks.

Clinton tried to weasel out of taking the blame for Benghazi, testifying to Congress that she wasn’t personally involved in embassy security. But e-mails later revealed that was false.

Investigators also point to Clinton’s total neglect of cybersecurity. The Bush administration — reeling from the attack on the World Trade Center — had made it a top priority to protect information flow among embassies, the CIA and the FBI.

But Clinton dropped the ball, creating what the department’s inspector general called “undue risk in the management of information.”

In November 2013, the IG issued an alert to the State Department’s top executives about the urgent “recurring weaknesses” in cybersecurity that had been red-flagged in six previous reports between 2011 and 2013, almost all on Clinton’s watch. The “recurring weaknesses” had still not been addressed, including vulnerabilities to hackers.

One of those previous reports — from July 2013 (shortly after Clinton’s departure) — described how much of the cybersecurity work was actually being done by contractors rather than department staff, contrary to government policy.

John Bentel, in charge of State’s cybersecurity during Clinton’s tenure, is one of the five State Department staffers who demanded immunity before talking to FBI investigators about Clinton’s private-server scheme.

He apparently took his duties regarding Clinton’s secret server more seriously than his duties to safeguard national cybersecurity. According to an IG report, Bentel “instructed his subordinates not to discuss the secretary’s e-mail.”

Rudy Giuliani said on Saturday Clinton’s use of a private e-mail service for official business was like taking “all our top-secret material and throwing it out on Fifth Avenue.”

Outrageous, but still a lesser offense than Clinton’s neglect of the entire department’s digital security — exposing communications between thousands of agents and diplomats across the globe. Even after WikiLeaks released 250,000 confidential State Department documents in 2010, Clinton didn’t plug the obvious holes in State’s cyber set-up.

Yet during Monday’s debate, Clinton had the nerve to claim that she takes threats to the nation’s cybersecurity very seriously. That’s a laugh.

Hillary’s management of finances at State was also slipshod, according to inspector-general reports that point to a whopping $6 billion unaccounted for during her tenure. Clinton’s chaotic mismanagement created “conditions conducive to fraud,” the IG warned, and made it harder “to punish and deter criminal behavior.” She must have felt right at home.

True to Clinton’s instinct to cover up problems rather than fix them, she thwarted several investigations of sexual misconduct and prostitution at State. Investigators complained of “an appearance of undue influence and favoritism.”

So what are the odds Hillary would run the federal government with integrity, keep the nation safe and get taxpayers more for their money? Zero.

Well done!

She's always been lazy. Look at her hair during her career as SecState. Looks like she never bothered to wash it. Too lazy. And the people that worked for her also said she was lazy and mean, easily angered. One thing we would not have to worry about, her time playing golf. She is too lazy to play golf. As a matter of fact, her most strenuous activity is climbing in and out of her vehicles. She has to be assisted walking everywhere she goes. It's pathetic.

her Dr says she does weight and Yoga

No, what he said was that she looked like Yogi Bear. And it appears that she is carrying a stolen picnic basket under her tent like wardrobe.

Yogi Bear thats a good one but dont insult Yogi. Boo Boo maybe

I bet Trump is biting his lip not calling her a fatty

Did you notice how much she smiled at Trump? Did you also notice that when she walked out on stage, he let her go first and patted her on her butt? It was the first time anyone had done that in years, other than Huma. She was all giggly after that. No wonder she wouldn't hold Bill's hand when they left to debate in a hurry.

that smile was soooo forced, also I saw her eyes wonder a few times.

anyone else see that.

Surprised she stood up that long, must have a full dose of meds

I understand she made a recent purchase on Ebay for some antique leg braces, the kind they used to for polio patients so they could walk. She probably had them modified with a seat at the top so she could appear to be standing, while she was locked in to the podium on her braces. Her clothes easily hid it all from view.

An interesting writeup.
Consider this, a person who spends their entire career as Sec of State, by hauling her kid and friends around the world to 120 or so countries, eating the great banquets, seeing the sites, that person does not have time to do the job. As I worked in Aerospace Engineering for nearly 20 years, EVERY TIME our engineers were required to work for a travel travel travel boss, that program cost millions and failed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, EVERY TIME. When the top dog travels and travels, the real work does not get done, period.............
