How would they increase them?  They're -already- federally mandated.

LOL, heard a description on POTUS or Patriot (was alternating between the two while running errands) of a hypothetical arrest process for Hillary should the secret email mess blow up.

Upon issuance of the proper paperwork, the FBI would contact the Secret Service detail tasked with protecting candidate Hillary, and they would "escort" her (presumably immediately) to a facility where she would be processed. There would be no 'perp walk', and the relevant actions would be conducted behind closed doors. Sparing Hillary a 'perp walk' would protect the rest of us from seeing Hillary wrapping a sweater or hoodie over her head as two big scary dudes parade her bodily in front of the cameras and up the stairs into the 5th Precinct, so to speak.

As long as she is a leading candidate for the presidential election, her Secret Service protection would not be suspended, although it is unclear to me how they would coordinate with the existing jail staff if she was incarcerated. Obviously, if released on bail (or her own recognizance) the Secret Service arrangement would continue as before.

They need to be improved.

I have never really like or trust Hillary (I did like Bill).  However even if I agree with Trump on number of things, he scares the crap out me.  It is going to be a tough voting I think. 

I do think that part of the problems with the political system in the U.S. right now, is that you mostly get the extremes voting in the primaries.  You therefore get a candidate who represents those extremes and the moderate voter is screwed.

I'm hoping as candidates drop out, that trump loses his favor..... I don't see many in the middle voting for him.

If the moderates are too damn lazy or disinterested to get their asses out and vote then they deserve to get screwed really hard.  They don't deserve an ounce of mercy.

Bullshit. It was her husband who left us with a surplus. It was Bush Jr who fucked that up.

I am really sick of everyone making this about one person. Our decline started WAY before even her husband took office. The only thing she or any democratic politician can be accused of is too much compromise with the brats on the right.

Things are changing and it is STILL up to the rest of our democratic politicians to put pressure on her to stop compromising, which Obama has had to do as well, but more importantly WE have to say something every day even after January.

This mess is not her fault and to claim that one person is the cause of everything under our diverse government with 3 branches and oversight is conspiracy bullshit.

Nope sorry, the plutocracy is the cause of the right, not the left. The only thing the left can be accused of is trying to placate the rich brats instead of standing up to them.

The rich are to blame and the GOP is to blame. The rest of us are merely their hostages.

Do you even know what a surplus is?  There can never be a surplus as long as there's a debt and the national debt was in the $trillions.  Anyway, if there's a budget surplus it simply means that the money wasn't spent for its intended purposes.  Consequently, infrastructure wasn't being maintained, people were being shorted on food stamps, medical care, etc.

Clinton was a lousy President and we sure as hell don't need another one.

The Clintons started the rumor that Obama is a foreigner and a muslim.

I forgot about that! I remember when Hildog's campaign was sending out those suggestive emails too.

Good times.

Stupid leftists.

Evidence please that this actually happened.

Doesn't look like a split lip to me.

Okay...so improved rather than increased, how so?   Leaving it hang like that is vague. What, exactly, are we talking about?

"We need to "improve" background checks, vote for me!" - Well, I'd rather vote for a policy than a person with a tagline, how about you?

Mathilda,

The guy in the shirt gave the guy who pushed him a split lip.
