short answer to each of those:
1. aside from existing precedent from the bush era wherein rice, bush, and powell all used private email servers and weren't charged for federal offenses, there still hasnt been a formal charge / verdict against hrc for sending classified docs via a private server
2. this is a 2 part display of idiocy. the 1st part is "obama wants to do x" is not unprovable -- because no shit its not, the whole thing was based on trump claiming obama wants to do x without proof. the 2nd part is saying "trump said x but that doesnt mean he actually thinks x" because apparently we cant judge a serious candidate based on saying stupid, uninformed things
3. general economic populist statement with no substance
4. see 1

5. glossing over the fact that clinton had about a 15-20% higher approval rating as SoS than obama did during his time as president
6. secretary of state is now just "head of some department"... specifically head of one of the most important branches of government. he then said she accomplished almost zero as SoS without understanding the nuances of the job. in another post i was too lazy to copy he praised kerry for the iran treaty which had its key frameworks and groundwork done under clinton
7. p sure whoever said this (i wanna say billymills or unclesam? didnt keep up with politics at the time which was basically republican officials and media outlets constantly harping on about benghazi (they still bring it up all the time fwiw) so im p sure whoever it was just recently started "caring" about politics
8. and im sure obamas favourability rating during his tenure as president is only tangentially related to being president! granted, most people arent as informed as to what SoS does but then again most people dont /actually/ understand what the president does as well. he's not a dictator people, he cant actually take your guns!

and this is also why i think politics both domestic and international with appropriate sub-fields, economics, and history should be mandatory because

i am unabashed about my dislike (closer to hatred) of uninformed / misinformed voters

lol im not exactly the most informed of voters either dude. one thing i could recommend is try to think of potential counterpoints and address them ahead of time bc then u win easily (especially for clinton's email stuff)
