Thanks.

fixed.

Soros drops $6m into the team clinton coffers. Good on him.

That's all?

That is serious cash. He is up to 8 for Hillary this cycle.

Don't they have to register to vote with their college address? My daughter registered when she moved, but not sure what the deal is in Iowa.

should have kept reading. Thanks

what are the odds hill runs 3rd party once sanders gets the nom?

You don't have to, you can vote at your parents', or whatever 'home' is if you want.

On Petraeus, the Sec Def just yesterday concurred with the Army investigators that he should not be demoted from 4 star General to 3 Star general. Practically, this means that his pension will stay the same, it would have been cut with the demotion. Him intentionally giving away secrets didn't even warrant that mild punishment.

To explain how not a big deal Clinton's alleged misconduct was:

The Dems ITT are arguing that she was negligent, that she made a mistake but it's not a big deal.
The R's are arguing that what she did was reckless: that's she's an idiot that casts grave doubts on her judgment and should go to prison.
What Petraeus did was intentional. The normal continuum in the law is that reckless is worse than negligent and intentional is worse than reckless. But despite Petraeus doing something worse than even the R's ITT are arguing, he got off with a wrist slap. Bottom line, this is no big deal, R's pushing this for political gain, lol R's.

Pertraeus lost his job. Not sure if you want to talk about that as punishment wrt hrc. What HRC did was obviously intentional as well

who did she intentionally share classified info with?

A lot of the Dems ITT are arguing that she didn't do anything wrong at all.

No she should be charged with careless handling of classified info and should be prosecuted for that crime.

She shouldn't have used private email for official business. Because the actual complaints are so thoroughly mixed in with conspiratorial smoke it's hard to think there's any fire there.

I'll repeat my question from a few pages ago: how much of the "classified" material is incoming email from non-government sources? Does anyone know?

I hope he landed on his feet.

FBI should by now. Isn't that were the leaks are coming from as to the extent of the material and what it contains?

I know State Dept. came out with some further clarification on Friday.

Bernie gets a dose of the reality of a presidential campaign

WA Post

meh.... this is more about how the establashment is in the tank for Hillary. Take Hillary out of the picture and most of the problems that Bernie is facing would disappear.

here, i'll beat pfunk to the punch.

fox news exclusive, hrc totes done now

the wishcasting will never end.

it's somewhat amusing to see foxnews shadow campaigning for the socialist.

yup, they are in the tank for her, and they should be. she offers the best opportunity to win the election and not get killed downballot.

none of bernie's "problems" disappear without hrc around. hrc isn't blocking bernie's path to the presidency. bernie himself is blocking his path to the presidency. he's hard-left economically in a country that where the majority of citizens are center-right economically. the country is far from ready for a potus from the far left wing of the democratic party. bernie supporters LOVE bernie's ideas. the rest of the country, uhhhh, not so much.

it also isn't hrc's fault that bernie has no FP experience.

it's not a great commentary on america, but i believe that even the odious ted cruz beats bernie in the GE, and that bernie would be an absolute anchor downballot.

The definitions of "center-right" and "hard-left" are fluid enough that I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I'm not convinced this is an entirely fair assessment. Consider Pew polling...

on taxation:



on the influence of money in politics:



Now, I'd agree that other data from Pew suggests that Bernie is further to the left than the consensus (cf. role of wall street, benefit of regulation, support for social safety nets), but not by as much as you seem to be suggesting when you call the average voter "center-right".

ccotenj relentlessly fear mongers that Bernie can't when the general. You have repeated yourself so many times about how you like Bernie but are pragmatic or something so your voting Hillary. Your opinion has been noted. Interesting you refuse to accept polling that contests your beliefs tho

The average voter doesn't support cutting off trade and raising taxes by >40%, nor do they support his version of uhc

Hahaha love the pull the number out of a hat game
