Re: Trump to win?

High school never ends

Yup, winners can spot losers 100 miles away and it begins way before high school. Trump is beginning to understand that he's only a big fish in a small pond. He's made his living cheating average small business owners for years but now he's on the big stage and the sharks in this high school will have him for lunch.

Re: Trump to win?

What's up with the Trump campaign? Really...$1.3MM in campaign funds at the end of May? This is a reality show with no sponsors...and now dissed by another billionaire calling him out as a two comma loser.

Well, somebody has to pay the finance charges on that $100m+ in loans he's got from Deutshche Bank. It's easy to self-finance a campaign when you've got creditors to the tune of at minimum a third of a billion dollars.

ayuh, +1

here's just another example of 'coincidence' - like all the other examples of mere co-inci-dinks - where the AG 'just happens' to be in PHX - on the tarmac, no less - in 100+ deg heat - at the same moment??

Bill Clinton Holds 'Private' Meeting With Loretta Lynch As FBI Probes Hillary

which 'just so happened' to be just prior to the release of the latest WHITEWASH / COVERUP courtesy
of merely another one of wild bill's appointees?

and nobody in the LAMERSTREAM MEDIA has anything to say???

With the release of the official report on Benghazi by the House Select Committee earlier this week, one of two major concerns for the Clinton campaign has been able to be put to bed. However, one very large concern continues to loom over Clinton, and that is the FBI investigation into whether or not Hillary improperly handled classified material as Secretary of State.

Since it was revealed that Huma Abedin and other close aides were being interviewed by the FBI back in May, news from the investigation has been relatively quiet. FBI Director James Comey said last month regarding the investigation that "We want to do it well and we want to do it promptly. As between the two things, we will always choose well."
As The Hill notes, it's been nearly a year since inspectors general from the State Department and federal intelligence agencies referred the case of Clinton's server to the Justice Department last July, and while many expected the investigation to be drawing to a close this spring, it is still ongoing. In May, Clinton said "I hope this is close to being wrapped up", while saying that "I made it clear I'm more than ready to talk to anybody, anytime."
Douglas Cox, a professor at the City of New York School of Law said "I, like other people, am a bit surprised that it hasn't come to a resolution yet. I would think internally that there would have to be a little bit of concern."
If the delay wasn't much of a concern for the Clinton campaign, the fact that the Justice Department blocked the terms of IT aide Bryan Pagliano's immunity agreement from being released during a Judicial Watch civil suite because it "could prematurely reveal the scope and focus of the pending investigation" would elevate some concerns. Pagliano invoked his Fifth Amendment rights over 125 times during a deposition in that case.
Cox went on to say "I think that federal prosecutors would want to get all their ducks in a row. They would want to make sure that their decision was as insulated as it could be from any charges that a decision not to bring charges would be politically motivated or be driven by political considerations."
That's an interesting comment from Cox, because as it turns out, on Monday evening (coincidentally just before the Benghazi report was released), Bill Clinton and US Attorney General Loretta Lynch just happened to meet on the tarmac at a Phoenix airport - totally unplanned of course. Clinton saw the attorney general and wanted to say hello, so Clinton boarded Lynch's plane to talk for a bit. Sure, just a quick chat about the weather, his putting stroke, anything except oh, say, an update on what was about to be released on Benghazi, and especially not an update on the ongoing FBI investigation into Hillary of course.
"Our conversation was a great deal about his grandchildren. It was primarily social and about our travels. He mentioned the golf he played in Phoenix, and he mentioned travels he'd had in West Virginia. There was no discussion of any matter pending for the department or any matter pending for any other body. There was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of the State Department emails, by way of example" Lynch told reporters.



* * *
Well then, if Lynch says it was a completely random encounter with Hillary Clinton's husband on a tarmac (admit it, that happens often to most people), and nothing was discussed that pertains to official business, then that certainly must be the truth...

I take @LorettaLynch & @billclinton at their word that their convo in Phoenix didn't touch on probe. But foolish to create such optics.

Re: Trump to win?

Saw it. Just when I think the behavior of these Clinton people can't possibly surprise me, there they go again. And the AG. My god, John Mitchell for his many faults at least had the personal dignity send Liddy to deliver messages and do other bagman jobs, for crissakes. Here Miss Loretta, she carries the bag all herself.

What are the odds that Gary Johnson takes just enough votes that neither the Repub or Dem nominee gets enough electoral college votes to win? Under that scenario, the Senate would choose a VP to run things until the House chooses the President.

Fearing this, what are the odds that the Dems will draft Biden and he will choose Elizabeth Warren as his running mate? A Biden/Warren ticket would check off a lot of boxes...

The Democrats can't get anything but a policy wonk elected to the White House. I am not sure either Biden or Warren qualifies, although Warren probably comes closer.

The Republicans are a machine and can get a kewpie doll elected to the Oval Office, if they put their minds to it and the Dems don't have a sufficiently suitable wonk with public appeal (like Bill or Obama in their day) to make a real match of it.

nil. he can't just win a lot of votes, he'd have to carry states to capture their electoral votes. not going to happen.

Probably not, but in this crazy year with the two most detested candidates in history anything can happen.

here's an interesting article in the ny times about how labour voters are defecting to support ukip, and french socialist voters are defecting to the front national. these are both analogous to sanders voters moving to trump.

Speaking of French, I bet someone is using plenty of French right now. Following a meeting with President Bill Clinton Monday, Attorney General Lynch announced she will accept recommendations from the Director of the FBI on whether charges should be pressed over his wife's use of her private email server during her time as Secretary of State in the administration of President Barack Obama.

The FBI Just Gave Hillary The Worst News Of Her Campaign!

The FBI is now officially expanding their investigations into Hillary’s illegal use of a home email server to transmit classified intelligence. Expanding beyond breaking laws against “gross negligence” with national defense information, she is now being investigated for violating a federal law due to providing “materially false” information. The law is U.S. Code 18, Section 1001.

Lynch to Accept F.B.I. Recommendations in Clinton Email Inquiry, Official Says

By MATT APUZZOJULY 1, 2016

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch plans to announce on Friday that she will accept whatever recommendation career prosecutors and the F.B.I. director make about whether to bring charges related to Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, a Justice Department official said. Her decision removes the possibility that a political appointee will overrule investigators in the case.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/us...rver.html?_r=0

The election has taken a new turn, thanks entirely to the interference of a former US President with a sitting Attorney General on behalf of his wife, the former First Lady and Secretary of State.

How do you say "république bananière" in English? Try Googling it in both languages. Then try "Président Trump."

Asked of the event by ABC News, Donald Trump said it's "just something that you don’t do from an ethical standpoint. It’s something that is unheard of,” said the presumptive GOP nominee. He added, “Nobody can even think where there’s a precedent.”

Re: Trump to win?

i've seen the theory that bill doesn't really want hillary to become president, for reasons of personal psychology and intra-familial dynamics. this episode is another bit of evidence.
