Why do I get the feeling that a big drop about Trump's money coming from Russia is looming?!

Da basket keeps revealing themselves. Anyone else hear what Mark Kirk said about Tammy Duckworth? These idiots can't even hide their racism. Mark Kirk has said plenty of racist stuff over the years. He's only second to LePage with da white girlz and Smoothie.

sure guy...seen Ohio? seen Florida? seen North Carolina?..

clearly da polls are all outta whack because some are alot more bias than others...da closer we get thou, da more these institutions will wanna get it right for reputation purposes...

its Trump vs da world at this point..and he's looking good right now.

Trump has only led in 1 poll in North Carolina in 5 weeks, and that was a Remmington Poll, a Republican Consultant.

Clinton has opened a huge lead in New Mexico,Virginia & Pennsylvania. Has held steady in Michigan

With NM, VA, PA & Michigan... Hillary sits at 259 EV.

NH, OH, NC, FL, IA, CO, NV, AZ all on the board.

 

[whywesteppin]

I'm still trying to figure out where all these polls favorable to trump are. the giant lead is now slightly less giant lead.

Ohio he's not wrong about.. There's a good likelihood that goes to Trump..

BUT Hillary has many ways to win without OH. Trump does not.

 

[whywesteppin]

exactly. still hard to imagine a scenario where all these states flip. especially since we have pretty much all the information we care about and know what each candidate represents and what their flaws are.

i guess there's still the 5-10% of undecided people who spend 3 hours at the grocery store debating organic vs non-organic, frozen vs canned, etc. but trump would need 90% of them to vote for him to win this.

I thought the election is rigged though?

Well not until after that election day, right?

The 2000 Election was razor thin but it was not nearly as visceral. This election, in 2016, is a battle of who owns this Country. The Election of 2000 was defined by consensus politics and everyone knowing there place.

In 2000, Wall Street was beloved, white people were across the board optimistic, black folks had to settle for crumbs from the DNC, rich people were happy, poor people all figured that they would be rich soon enough, LGBTQ folk were in the closet, Latinos (outside of California) were politically asleep and there was no such thing as a "millennial" (young people in 2000 were able to just get decent jobs and buy houses and start families).

In 2016 everything is in flux and even though this election is not all that close, it is intense because marginalized groups are poised to make huge political strides and the hegemonic group, older white people, are fighting to preserve their long held dominance.

Always felt hillary's server was about the incentuous relationship between the foundation and the clintons gaining financially. Not this garbage about them all being about chelsea's wedding and yoga. I'm more surprised that people like mook and podesta had no ******* clue about the server amd realized how bad it was. Now do democrats really care? Doesn't seem like it, but maybe that's just because trump is around. Also i'm sure there are bernie supporters that care are ignored becauae their votes are assumed anyway.

The question is will there ever be evidence in black and white that she did something at the state dept as a quid quo pro. I assume most people are not naive enough to think that the clintons took tens of millions and didnt do anything for the donors. But unless there is a video with her stating what she will do im return for donations and speaker fees to Bill... nothing will happen.

meanwhile...

Band noted that his firm served as the “primary contact and point of management” for Clinton’s political activity, business activity, foundation activity, paid speeches, and family and personal needs, including “in-kind private airplane travel” and “in-kind vacation stays.”

Teneo’s overlapping responsibilities gave heartburn to some in the Clintons’ inner circle, including Chelsea Clinton, who in another email published by WikiLeaks raised “serious concerns” with Teneo’s liberal use of the Clinton name to court clients.

Band lashed out at Clinton as a meddlesome "spoiled brat" in an email to Podesta, while acknowledging the unique nature of his position.

“We appreciate the unorthodox nature of our roles, and the goal of seeking ways to ensure we are implementing best practices to protect the [tax exempt] status of the Foundation,” he says.

The document lists several Teneo clients that Band and Kelly “leveraged” into major donors for the Foundation and details the personal introductions the two principals made between the Clintons and the prospective donors.

In one example, Kelly “cultivated” Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent’s interest in the foundation, ensuring several seven-figure donations beginning in 2009.

According to the document, Kelly introduced Kent to Bill Clinton in January 2009 at a meeting he arranged at the couple’s D.C. home.

Yo ninja, can you stop spamming the thread with your soap opera BS?

I thought republicans wanted less government-funded social services and more charities. Now you want to complain about charities successfully raising private money and exchanging influence in return?

Shortsightedness and hypocrisy are not desirable traits.

“And just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump, right? What are we even having it for? What are we having it for?” he asked. “Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference.”

Because Trump is any different.

He just pockets the money given to him and spends it on himself. Remember the three girls dancing on stage at his rallies? Their father is suing Trump for non-payment of services. How about the people working his campaign who keep quitting because of financial reasons?

Voting for him instead of Clinton is not draining the swamp, it's avoiding the snake to jump in the mouth of the alligator.

^ Another Culer up there. The image of what you tried to post Black Lotus didn't translate...

Funny that the gop has been in control of the senate for sometime... The swamp does need to be drained & given the forecasting models, it's looks like the Dems may be able to gain control...
