More good unasked questions for Hillary

Have you wondered why the media hardly ever ask Hillary Clinton provocative questions?

This has fascinated me.

In the past, I've suggested some lines of questions for the reporters who have access, which I certainly do not. Maybe that's the secret to getting close to Hillary – lines of questioning must be approved. Or maybe you have to swear to write the kind of puff pieces we see so frequently about her from the so-called "mainstream" press.

Nevertheless, I'm not giving up. You never know. Maybe someone attending one of her infrequent open forums or town halls will have the guts to go where no one has gone before.

What do I have in mind?

Well, we all know Hillary has an ambitious agenda as president. Like Barack Obama who pledged to stop the rise of the seas and stop global warming, Hillary says she's focused on raising salaries of working-class and middle-class families. How do you do that as president? Do you mandate it? She hasn't really laid out much of a plan. Her overall economic policies aren't much different than Obama's – and he is responsible for a major wage and salary plunge as president.

She also pledges to form a task force to investigate Area 51 because she thinks space aliens have visited Earth before. I won't even comment on that one – which is sure to fire up Donald Trump ads.

As Hillary gets a little older, she's pledged to cure Alzheimer's disease by 2025.

She says she will stop campus sex assaults.

If we elect Hillary, she says cost won't be a factor for going to college – and debt afterward will be no problem.

She's going to stop gun violence.

She promises a world-class education for every child in every community.

I could go on and on. If you want to peruse her platform, check it out for yourself. Not surprisingly, she's got something for every constituency.

And that brings me to my key question none dares ask.

It goes something like this: "Hillary, weren't you President Bill Clinton's closest adviser during his eight years as president? Didn't Bill even suggest when he was running that if you vote for him you get the combined brain power and energy of both of you? Didn't some even refer to the Clinton years as a co-presidency between the two of you?

"With all that in mind, I'm wondering why you didn't accomplish all these things in the eight years you were both in the White House?"

I think it's more than a fair question.

I mean there's a reason we limit presidential terms to two. Nobody in America wants to see the nation turn to a dynasty or a tyranny. America came into being because our founders rejected a monarchy, royalty and inherited thrones.

So, why wasn't eight years enough for the Clintons to "fundamentally transform America"? How many years would be enough?

To phrase the question another way, "Why did your husband, Bill Clinton, who is out campaigning for you, fail to create the kind of heaven on Earth you envision? Were his priorities twisted because of extra-curricular activities? Why weren't you able to persuade him, as his closest adviser, to enact these plans during his eight years in office? If you couldn't persuade your husband, what makes you think you can convince Congress? And, if he couldn't do it, what makes you think you can?"

Do I expect any so-called "mainstream" reporter to go this route?

No, I don't. But it can't hurt to make a few suggestions along the way.
