Obama launched himself into the campaign shortly after with a passionate speech of support....he was probably just waiting for the clearance.
This was really Trump's last card.
His crap wont stick.
Fox news will keep it bubbling but....
She'll skip away now.
It's a disgrace Lods.
Comey gave every reason for Hilary to face indictment, then he made up a new legal standard of "extreme carelessness" and that such behavior is not "gross negligence".
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - cookie2 - 07-08-2016
Hilary will be judged now in the court of public opinion. She may have another problem to overcome though, in that she told the same lies to Congress, which is apparently a felony. We await developments with interest. As the US reporter said, it's fortunate for her that she is up against Trump, the only person in the US that is less trustworthy than her, otherwise she would already be history.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 07-09-2016
As often happens in election campaigns, events have a way of changing the debate. That means that smart candidates make hay while the sun shines. That means when the opponent is under fire you don't do anything to draw attention away from whatever that issue is. But Trump can't help himself. Right in the middle of the email story, he retweets the Star of David meme which originated on a white supremacist site. Own goal! Yes, it dogwhistles to white supremecist voters but he has them locked in anyway.
Now the focus has shifted away from emails to white cops killing black guys and black snipers killing white cops. Hmmm... what was that email issue again, I forget.
This turn of events can work to the advantage of both sides. For Trump and his white supremacist mates, a race war is manna from heaven and as an authoritarian he would love to be the Patron Saint of police officers. Already, some Republicans have blamed Obama and Clinton for the killings :
On the other hand, black people have further proof that racism needs to be addressed or it will continue to polarise whites and blacks to their disadvantage. Even wealthy and privileged black people understand that their wealth and celebrity won't necessarily protect their children. And the fact that the shooter had a cache of weapons raises the gun control issue. That he was a former military guy puts into question the theory that the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun. The military and police are both supposed to be good guys, no? I'm praying that the shooter wasn't Muslim ...
And there's just been an announcement that Zika has killed its first American, a guy in his 70s. This while the GOP is trying to defund birth control measures. Early doubts that Zika causes microcephaly have been erased. But Microcephaly isn't the only condition it causes. The consensus is that it also causes Guillain-Barré disease and it literally eats fetal brain tissue and attacks the eyes etc. And it can be spread by sex as well as by mosquito. It therefore raises questions of birth control, protected sex, abortion and healthcare, all of which help the Democrats. It wouldn't be hard to draw in global warming as well given that increasingly tropical conditions in the South will leave it vulnerable to tropical diseases. Now summer has arrived in the US, the Zika issue will draw more attention.
The campaign is a marathon and this week has shown that no one can control the agenda for very long. There'll no doubt be dozens of unforeseen twists before this thing is done.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - LP - 07-09-2016
I really think Trump doesn't want to win, he wants to profit and he has already achieved that.
Unfortunately for him the events are conspiring to deliver him the top job, that seems to encourage a new round of self-harm doing his very best to unravel those gains.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 07-09-2016
I doubt that. As if a narcissist such as Trump would turn down the presidency if it were handed to him on a plate. Taking the job doesn't mean he'll have to do heaps. He can essentially delegate his responsibilities. Let's face it, Ronnie Reagan still served despite being addled by Alzheimers. And Dick Cheney was perfectly willing to run the White House for Dubya who had to beat him off with a stick.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - DJC - 07-09-2016
I love how Hillary delivered a campaign speech in front of Trump's failed casino in Atlantic City.

She could have picked nearly any of his business ventures if she wanted a failure as a backdrop.....
successful businessman ...No....lucky heir to plenty of money..yes...
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - cookie2 - 07-09-2016
Hilary? Be very careful what you wish for.
Re: US Presidential Election 2016 - Mav - 07-09-2016
I'd take her every day of the week and twice on Sundays given the alternative. It's not even close. Trump would be a disaster in every facet of government.

Just because Trump would be a disaster does not mean she would be any good. It's a choice between the Devil and the deep blue sea IMO. She is a proven liar.
