It's all academic, I disagree because obviously the GOP has had literally near record success the last 3 cycles. Typical battleground election and win OH & FL that means a GOP win. And Rubio is running like 15-20 points ahead of Trump in FL right now IIRC.
nope
In this thread you have expressed your belief and support for EVERY conspiracy regarding Hillary, no matter how ludicrous, including the murders of Vince Foster, Arkansas officials, and even the recent "questionable" deaths of DNC operatives. Forgive me if I'm skeptical of your previous tepid support of HRC.
That does not mean that they are admitting these actions actually were bad or there was a quid pro quo. They are acknowledging that some people may believe such actions are not proper. Clinton rightfully believrs that any appearance of impropriety, whether justified or not, should be eliminated if one is president.
People: please listen - appearance of impropriety is the argument. That's the point why they should not have been doing it.
Example of an excellent leader. " I did it because someone else told me I should".
That's not at all what the story says. It says that during the interview with the investigators she told them about a conversation in which Powell recommended private email servers. She never said it was his fault or he was to blame, she never intended for that interview to be public knowledge, and made no public statement that resembles "blaming" him at all.
Agree here...it's also said that Powell's recommendation was to use her own email...no mention of going beyond that and setting up a full on server (at least that's what the article says). TF, this is an example of not owning the mistake IMO. "Colin told me to" and "Colin did it too" (even though he didn't) aren't owning anything...they are weak attempts at deflecting from poor decision making. The article also points out she had already made the decision to use the private email server, so I don't even know why she was bringing Powell into the discussion other than to deflect.That's not at all what the story says.

Keep crying wolf, though. It's working out great so far.
Wolf! Wolf!
Because she was being investigated by the FBI and was answering their questions? You understand this wasn't a public statement, yes? She was providing an investigator who was asking questions with information that guided her decisionmaking throughout the process. She had no intention of having the details of that questioning made public.
ORLY? Clinton has been using the "everyone else is doing it" defense, almost from the start. Nothing is new here, except now she says she got specific advice from Powell to justify her decision. Get your head out the sand, man. You are embarrassing yourself.
She didn't blame him. The words "blame" and "fault" don't even appear in the story. But you said she blamed him anyway. You misrepresented the story. End of analysis.
Time to put down the kool-aid.
I hope this is parody or something. Maybe there's a website that just spits out random conspiracy theorist phrases and you're just cutting and pasting? Do you take requests? I'm a big fan of "wake up sheeple" and any material involving the Rand Corporation.
There is no conspiracy here. You should stop trying to see one behind every corner.
This isn't the first time she's said these things. She's used the "but others did it" (which no one else has ever gone and set up their own server) over and over. She continues with this and then goes beyond it to equate using an AOL account with setting up a server. I'd rather she used an AOL account or a google account. It would have been more secure. I haven't changed the definition for anyone. I hold anyone to that standard
just like I don't believe "I'm sorry, but....." is a real apology "I made a mistake but...." isn't really owning the mistake. That's the standard I was taught as a child and the standard I teach my kids. I haven't changed anything.....as I said before, it was my fault for not telling you what I meant by "owning the mistake".She didn't say "I'm sorry, but ...." She said "I'm sorry." End of sentence. She said she "That was a mistake." End of sentence. She said "I take responsibility." End of sentence.This isn't the first time she's said these things.

And just to add some clarity into your claims, let's take what I actually said about Vince Foster. I do not support the view that the Clintons murdered him. There isn't ample evidence. What I did say was:
As are all politicians who get to this point. The difference is Hillary has had her whole life exposed for 30 years as she's tried to become POTUS so we know a lot more about her than other candidates.
We're going to have to agree to disagree....I don't see how her collective set of comments and statements on this topic are anything but "I'm sorry, but...." without a significant amount of work to dismiss, parse or reinterpret. Very similar to those who are now forgiving Trump and all of a sudden believe his apology in the last days was sincere. I'm sure you're not giving him a pass now, right? "My bad. I made a mistake, but I'm in the middle of a political campaign and I don't always say things correctly" (paraphrasing of course) rings pretty hollow to me.She didn't say "I'm sorry, but ...."

Now, did she also try to explain why she made that mistake? Of course. But you know who else has done that? Literally every single person who has admitted to a mistake for which they were criticized by the public.
I think your anti-Clinton bias is affecting your judgment on this one. I'm sure you'll accuse me of the same thing, but remember I was maybe the first person on this message board to flag the private email server usage as a big deal and to condemn her for doing it. I'm no fanboy ... or at least I wasn't until she became our country's only alternative to Trump.
The comments of Patrick Knowlton, a grand jury witness who had been at the park where Foster's body was found, were included as part of Starr's Report over Starr's objection. Judge John D. Butzner wrote to Judges Peter Fay and David Sentelle after Knowlton submitted a motion that his comments be included as part of an appendix to the final report, "I suspect that if we deny this motion we will be charged as conspirators in the cover-up," and concluded "I suggest we let the motion and attachments speak for themselves."[14] Judge Peter Fay wrote that Knowlton contradicted "specific factual matters and takes issue with the very basics of the report" filed by Kenneth Starr.[15] Knowlton's comments were ordered[16] included as part of the official report on September 26, 1997. Two days later, Kenneth Starr filed a 9-page motion[17] to appeal that the comments by Knowlton not be included in the report. The next day, Starr's motion was denied[18] and Knowlton's comments were included as part of the final official Report on the Death of Vincent W. Foster.[19]
I take the sworn testimony of a Secret Serviceman who gives the very specific detail "two handfuls of folders" over a Clinton aide. As far as murders. The Seth Rich death is awfully strange, especially in light of Julian Assange strongly implying he was the DNC leaker. And some weeks before, the guy who was set to testify a week later in a bribery case tangentially linked to Clintons by weight lifting accident is also a bit convenient. Neither may have anything directly to do with the Clintons, but could still be premeditated murders.
It wasn't authorized, it was never authorized, it was improper then, it's improper now. The FBI guys must have been holding back smirks when she said this.
Lord. So no it never happened. The smart thing for Hillary is to not call Powell a liar when asked about this, and don't complain about interview notes being released, just move on.
I'm glad Obama's coming. With Trump and Hillary I'm of two minds. I think donations and assistance are still needed, or maybe a position on why our local skiffs are still called upon to help people when we have flooding 10 years after Katrina. I don't get that part; I'm more interested in reform - what are they going to do about it? Same goes for oil spills, I don't see where there's any improved federal response program for containing spilt oil.
In what bizarro world do we live where TRUMP does the right thing before Hillary and Obama?
He does have a point Saints. Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline! How many times we gotta go through this with you guys?
