waldo Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 There is conflict of interest and guess who was the one to decide which ones were classified. Clinton herself made that decision. I've not read or heard that; care to provide a cite to that end? . A good deal of those emails were dealing with the incident in Benghazi, in which she screwed up large that contributed to Ambassador Stevens and others being killed. there's been no shortage of official (U.S. Republican led/charged) investigation into that incident. Do you have an official review/analysis, non-partisan fueled, that supports your statement? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was a clip of her in front of a panel where they posed the question and she indicated that certain decisions were made regarding the email server , and she was the one to make those decisions. I'll see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archduke al-Qaddafi Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 People should not underestimate Gary Johnson, especially if he starts getting endorsements from top Republicans (such as Mitt Romney, who has said that he is considering it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August1991 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) People should not underestimate Gary Johnson, especially if he starts getting endorsements from top Republicans (such as Mitt Romney, who has said that he is considering it) There is zero chance of Gary Johnson becoming US President in January 2017. (Uh, zero chance? Let me rephrase that: There is a greater chance of Gary Johnson being US president than Argus. Johnson was at least born in the US.) ===== Based on the poll numbers, I'm still/currently predicting Hillary. Scott Adams is still predicting Trump by voodoo/plagiarism/hypnosis/whatever but even Adams is hedging. So, if I'm wrong and he's right - I know f' all about American politics. (Then again, there's always the October Surprise. In October 2008, Americans had a financial meltdown - and it elected Obama.)

BubberMiley Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I can understand Trump saying Obama was in on Orlando because Trump forged his political career on the backs of Birther wingnuts, but I don't understand him accepting "congrats" for being right about it. Who accepts congrats when there is a terrorist attack because they said there will be terrorist attacks in the future? Inexplicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler, you remind me of a Jeb Bush focus group person in October 2015 in, say, South Carolina. Like Hillary now, Jeb! had gazillions to identify you and know what you were thinking and advertise all this on CNN/MSNBC whatever to confirm your thoughts.

August1991 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Am I to extrapolate a point? Yes. Hillary Clinton, like well-funded Jed Bush in October 2015, believes that it's business as usual. If you can raise alot of money, pay for advertising, prove you're popular, you win the election. ===== BTW, the Left essentially believes this view of life. For the Left, symbolism/semiotic code is reality. Edited June 24, 2016 by August1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?Impact Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) If you can raise alot of money, pay for advertising, prove you're popular, you win the election. Money raised by Democratic Presidential campaigns & SuperPACs - $522.4 million Money raised by Republican Presidential campaigns & SuperPACs - $769.4 million That is a 47.3% advantage for the Republicans. You were saying what about the 'left'? In Congress, the Republicans are ahead as well, but only by about 10% Edited June 24, 2016 by ?Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Congress, the Republicans are ahead as well, but only by about 10% Those stats are so 1996. ===== Look, I'm not saying that money doesn't matter in a campaign but in 1996 based on 1968 thinking - money raised was an indication/signal of power/popularity, By 2008, even Obama realized that money raised was not a signal of political success.

August1991 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Trump plays it safe with Gov. Mike Pence as running mate. Should help him get through the GOP convention with the party faithful. Agreed. It may win Indiana. So I reckon that Trump is now playing old time politics. To win old time, Trump needs PA, OH, FL, IA, IN or some combination. NC should not be a question. To win new time, Trump needs NY or CT or even CA.

Argus Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I think Hillary needs a blue collar guy as a running mate, preferably one with strong military experience. An ex general would be nice. Someone like Russel L. Honoré but a decade or so younger would be perfect. Edited July 18, 2016 by Argus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archduke al-Qaddafi Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm impressed that no one booed the final speaker. You can be sure that CNN and MSNBC were waiting for that moment, so they would have something to squawk about this morning. I guess they'll have another full day to tackle weighty topics like those few lines of vague rhetoric from Melania Trump's speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
