But then you really have a cabal of insiders who set strange party rules that end up controlling who can come out in many ways when the overwhelming majority of citizens have no strong party affiliation.gut;1794162 wrote:It's pretty commonly accepted that the moderates/independents don't vote much in primaries. We let the extremes of both parties pick our choices for President - in a record year I think only about 20% of Nov'16 voters are voting in the primaries.
So maybe we'll get better candidates when moderates/independents stop sitting out the nomination process.
Personally, I think the left-wing voters in Democratic primaries are as bat-shit crazy as the right-wingers, just different reasons/issues. These people need to be relegated to the fringe of politics, where they belong, where they have an important contribution to the dialogue but do not dictate policy.

For the first time, the DOJ admits HRC's email investigation is a criminal investigation, not, as HRC has been claiming, just a security review.

Just another lie. And when you watch her say it, it is so, so obvious she is lying. It never ends with her.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was confronted Monday at a campaign stop in West Virginia by a laid-off coal worker over previous comments she made that “we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”
Clinton was attending a panel discussion with residents and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in Williamson, W. Va. when she was asked a question by Bo Copley, who told her he was a laid off worker in the coal industry.
“I just want to know how you can say you’re going to put a lot of coal miners out of, out of jobs, and then come in here and tell us how you’re going to be our friend, because those people out there don’t see you as a friend,” Copley said, sometimes breaking into tears, as the chants of the protesters were heard outside.
Clinton however said her comments in March were a “misstatement,” and that she has been talking about helping out coal country “for a very long time.”
“What I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs,” Clinton said Monday. “That’s what I meant to say, and I think that that seems to be supported by the facts. I didn’t mean that we were going to do it, what I said was, that is going to happen unless we take action to try to and help and prevent it.”

gosh a ruddies Our first female President of the United States, Hillary Clinton
1. minor step back loss in close vote in the Indiana Primary
2. major step forward, Donald Trump, the Presumptive Republican Presidential Candidate. thank you Republican voters. although nominating Cruz, the anti-
Christ would have been just about as good. He actually believed there were millions of hidden evangelical and tea party voters out there waiting with baited breath for a chance to vote for him.

Even if she lost Indiana she probably stole more delegates. That's just the way she is.ptown_trojans_1;1794700 wrote:Clinton may have lost tonight, but the math still is on her side as they will split delegates.

Trump will lose similar to how Obama stomped Romney. It won't be close.
Hillary is the next President barring prison(unlikely is an understatement).

Do you think her being called to testify will make a difference? It depends on what your definition of the word "is" is.

Another interesting development today in the HRC email situation. Romanian hacker, Guccifer, recently extradited to the USA for alleged cyber crimes, says he hacked the HRC server. He additionally said he saw evidence that many others, with obvious IP addresses from all over the world, had also gained access to The HRC server.
Flip side can't help but think a criminal could easily lie.

All the aides have the same lawyer. They have their bs story down. Nothing is going to come out of this, the clintons are untouchable. Bill could fuck a toddler on the street and nothing would come out of it.
