Yeah, word going around is that the Seattle BLM has come out and said they're not part of their group.

Very likely that they're plants.

Some old stuff has come out about the girl on the left being a former Palin supporter. Their BLM facebook activity was less than 48 hours old at the time of the event, and BLM Seattle has apparently pushed back on them.

Money in politics and expanded government/erosion of rights and privacy is what I'm looking for.

My wife is a RN and there isn't any unions for her to join in Texas. I also wonder with the large percentage of woman in this union if they will follow the union leaders or break to vote for Hillary.

I could be wrong but I think most unions don't direct their members vote. Get means the organization backed him.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Of course unions don't direct their members on how to vote. At most, they'll send some sort of newsletter explain the reasoning why they, as an organization, endorse whatever candidate.

Individuals are gonna vote for whoever they want.

Hillary Clinton Instructs Aides to Hand Over E-Mail Server to Justice Department

Hillary Clinton has directed her aides to hand over to the Justice Department a private e-mail server that she used during her tenure as secretary of state, her presidential campaign said Tuesday.

Spokesman Nick Merrill confirmed Clinton's request and said the Democratic front-runner has also asked that the department be given a thumb drive that contains copies of her e-mails.

Clinton has "pledged to cooperate with the government's security inquiry, and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them," Merrill said.

Clinton's promise to to hand over the server and thumb drive came after the Intelligence Community Inspector General sent a letter dated Tuesday to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, saying intelligence community classification officials had identified materials in two out of four suspect e-mails that had gone through her private server that "include information classified up to

So all the serious Democrat candidates are all losers...

(Hillary, Biden, Gore, and Kerry)

...and one socialist.


Amazing to think that in 8 years, the Democrat Party hasn't groomed anyone to come onto the political scene to generate excitement for a presidential campaign. They all figured it was going to be Hillary, and everyone that doesn't realize her campaign hasn't flopped dead will soon figure it out.

If I was a big Democrat with some pull in DC, I'd be begging for Elizabeth Warren to reconsider running.

O'Malley and Sanders are serious. I haven't heard about Gore or Kerry running, but they'd both be good. None of them compare to Obama, but they're all a fuck of a lot better than anyone running for the GOP nomination, no?

The only Republican candidate I wouldn't vote for over any of the Democrat candidates, is Lindsey Graham.

Sanders may have high poll numbers now, but trust me, the Republicans are salivating about the idea of an old crusty white male socialist being the nominee. The Democrat leaders know this, not to mention Sanders would harm their financial connections with corporations if he won. They're hoping Biden will enter the race, and expect him to read everything off a teleprompter like he can't say a word without it.

Damn, man. You'd honestly vote for Trump or Cruz or Carson or Paul, etc. That's hard to relate to.

Every candidate in every party reads off a teleprompter when they're giving speeches (and before teleprompters were invented, they read off other things). Public speaking is hard, and it's harder if you're just winging it. Weird comment. Remember that Biden absolutely took Ryan to school in the debate, though.
