More top government officials showing complete incompetence. Just wonderful. At this point, it's almost like Clinton, this dude, Trump, et. al. are in cahoots just trolling us all, to see how much the American public will put up with, as if it's a $1 bet between Randolph and Mortimer.
Even without this detail, does pointing to other bad behavior resolve Clinton of potentially wrong doing? That seems like a bad defense.
- Carter, like Hillary at SOS, violated DOD rules.
It's funny how long Hillary has been at this.
You have to remember, Jerry Brown brought up the fact - which was a fact - that Hillary and Rose were representing corporations being regulated by Bill Clinton himself. Some like Tyson were even proved to have received breaks which harmed the environment and harmed people. Hillary even received additional compensation from Tyson's inside counsel.
Makes the DNC's decision to have so few and bury them at bad TV times all the more head scratching. While not a fan, it seems to me she comes across much better in a debate format than a stump speech.
I think the logic is that a good debate performance does not have a whole lot of upside for Hillary. Winning the nomination is pretty much a fait accompli, and most people are not paying that much attention to the Democratic debates anyway, particularly the undecided voters. It is unlikely she would make a major misstep or a gaffe during the debate, but why take the chance?
I am not saying I agree with the scheduling decision but I understand the logic behind it - a very, safe pragmatic move trying to minimize any potential damage that a gaffe could cause to the presumptive nominee of the party.
And for the DNC. Unless there is an indictment from the FBI regarding the emails, Hillary is the nominee. Contrary to what some Sanders supporters are hoping/saying, it is pretty much over IMO. It is a cynical viewpoint, but winning in politics involves minimizing risk and that is what is happening here.
And that pretty much encapsulates everything wrong in this scenario - the DNC decided who they wanted as a nominee - not the primary voters/caucus goers.
Right. And on top of that, we really don't trust our presidential nominee to survive a primary fight for fear of gaffs? Jesus, we are so ####ified. I frigging hate Hillary Clinton.
No, that is not the mindset. Hillary will survive the primaries and will be the nominee (the DNC already considers that a given). However, the concern is that there is always the possibility of some misstep and the less attention it would receive, the less it will be an issue in the general campaign.
They are alienating a group of voters Hillary will need and for no apparent reason. It's colossally stupid. Hillary should tell them to cut it out.
I agree, but I have to say that a lot of these folks are alienated anyhow. Not the majority of Sanders supporters, but there's a vocal minority who I honestly believe hate Hillary Clinton more than they do Republicans.
I'm not talking about conservatives. They aren't going to vote for her anyway. I'm talking about young voters that have been rallying around Sanders.
I wasn't talking about conservatives either. I was talking about some of the Sanders supporters.
It appears there was a data breach by four Sanders staffers and in particular by one staffer, Hillary's camp alleges:
this is wrong from the very start Tim. You don't defeat terrorism you contain it. The condition of coming here as you say is not a condition. Because of these things, surrounding herself with Muslims does nothing. It's hollow. The positive is it does nothing. That's better than doing the something the GOP is doing so that's a point for your side
You can disagree all you want. It's really not up for debate. Thinking it is tells me you have no real idea of the basis of Islam and you don't really understand Islamic relations. There are plenty of really good articles on this subject. Perhaps you should check them out. It's an exercise I've been going through on the advice of a friend and it's been pretty eye opening.
Its absolutely up for debate; I disagree with you, and it never fails to crack me up how condescending you can be. How best to deal with terrorism, Islam, and Islamism are very complicated issues, all "solutions" are fluid, and if you truly believe that your ideas are the only way and not up for debate, then I'm very glad you're only posting in an Internet forum and not any kind of decision maker.
Even as she shipped an assload of weapons to those countries, while letting groups like ISIS and Boko haram get some weapons too.
Agreed. Hillary did make it up but Trump asking for proof is sad and ridiculous, he has taken us to the point of demagoguery where truth has no meaning.
