He will be exactly the same.

If the Koch Brothers like him, he'll get enough money. They alone have said they are going to get almost $900 million thrown at the campaign.

^ What a brain dead robot. It is clear that you are beyond stupid. You support the stripping of wealth from the bottom and the redistribution to the top.

Way to vote outside of your own best interest. Lemming

Something to start your weekend off right, teabaggers. You will be voting for Dim Mitt.

And this time, Romney will be trounced by Mrs. Clinton.

cruz @ 4% and sinking

Well, let's hope, eh?

It would be my dream to see that looney teabagger get the nomination.

He'll get ripped to shreds.

Cruz is like Sara Palin in that respect. I say like Sarah Palin in that their strength is not in power, but on the sidelines stoking fires. Yes, Cruz has the ability to put words into coherent sentences, even complete thoughts. But a campaign would wear thin his smug, sanctmonious veneer, and the nature of a campaign would reveal his rhetoric as hollow and his suit as empty. Maybe even to those who have drank the Ted Cruz kool aid.

Romney's pulled out.

And he was the favourite!

She's going down, boys & girl:



Hillary Clinton's favorable ratings over the past two years: #ReadyForHillary?
12:21 AM - 31 Jan 2015

The Washington Post's recent polling data gave Mrs. Clinton wide leads over several potential Republican opponents, but Democratic firm PPP (which has a spotty reputation) has published some rather different findings:

The automated poll of nearly 900 registered voters, conducted last week by Public Policy Polling, found that 48 percent of respondents had an unfavorable opinion of Clinton, compared to 43 percent who viewed the former secretary of State favorably...While Clinton — the prospective favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination should she enter the race — holds leads over every major GOP candidate tested in the poll, she doesn’t break 50 percent against any, and some are well within striking distance. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker comes closest, with Clinton leading him by a margin of 45 percent to 42 percent (with 14 percent not sure who they’d vote for) – within the survey’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.

Koch Industries is financed largely by Goldman Sachs, and indeed are in JVs with some aspect of their business. As the democrats are mostly funded by Gomans and JP morgan, who in turn finance, support, facilitate the funders of the rigth wing nutters wearing elephant pins, it doesn't matter if the kocks throw 900m at cruz, because it they want shillery, she will get 2b.

And then there's this large elephant in the room the democrats don't want to acknowledge. The shear fact that the Hildebeast is way past her sell-date.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—a former U.S. Senator from New York, the former First Lady of the United States, and the Democrats’ likely frontrunner and nominee in 2016—is “yesterday’s news."

Rand Paul Calls Hillary Clinton ?Yesterday?s News?

Known that for a while, haven't we. Seen her poll numbers continue to sink.

Are we supposed to listen to this slightly retarded daddy's boy?

Hillary Clinton's Libya war push armed Benghazi rebels with suspected al Qaeda ties - Washington Times

War hungry shillery caught out pushing weapons etc to the regime change agents in Libya. Not a surprise of course except to the coolaid drinkers.

Like Brian Williams, Hillary Clinton Lied About Bosnia

Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson reminds us the secretary of state who blamed Benghazi on a video once made up a story about courage under fire in Bosnia. Maybe Brian Williams can be her 2016 running mate.



"I remember landing under sniper fire," Clinton said. "There was supposed to be some kind of greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

Her harrowing tale never happened, and Mrs. Clinton's faulty memory also forgot that there was a reporter on the trip who was taking notes and had a video of the event."

This is presidential material?

You must be joking.

Hillary's poll numbers are collapsing



In just the past month, when no one with a real life was thinking about the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton's massive poll lead over every single potential Republican opponent has collapsed.

In a hypothetical match-up, her margin over Jeb Bush, the closest GOP president, was cut in half to eight points this month, 45%-37%, according to Zogby. That's down from a whopping 15-point lead in December. Similarly, the former first lady's 15-point margin over Mitt Romney slid to nine points, 46%-37%.

Zogby Analytics - Hillary?s Lead Over GOP Frontrunners Shrinks

^ Might have something to do with the frantic activity to shield her loving husband from the investigation into his visits to "Jeff Epsteins House of Pedophilia" that she would have known about.....

Has she actually said she's running yet?

Ahh she doesn't need the funders. She is part of the Goldman Sachs elite and will have as much money as she wants. Spend the most money, she gets the job. If Goldmans want Bush III to get the job, they will tell the people they finance to fund him more.

United States of Corruption.

Probably right...

Er..... she hasn't initiated any "super PACs" at all, that's not her job.

Hillary Rodham Clinton may not yet be ready to announce whether she'll launch a bid for the White House in 2016 just yet, but a growing crowd of political operatives are ready to to get in on the action of her expected candidacy right now.

Along with high-profile outside groups being run by Clinton allies such as Priorities USA Action and Ready for Hillary, there are more than a dozen other Clinton-specific super PACs registered with the Federal Election Commission – including three set up in the past six weeks.

Most have raised paltry sums or have not filed finance reports, but several are pulling in sizable donations and mobilizing supporters in support of -- or opposition to -- her potential presidential bid. Some have launched slick websites and started selling Clinton-themed merchandise, giving them the trappings of other well-established groups.

Their independent activities could contribute to a chaotic political environment for Clinton, who as a candidate would not be able to coordinate with super PACs working on her behalf.

Harry being that you are brighter than me, do you think that this could be read as "when she becomes a candidate she can not coordinate with the Super PAC's but as right now she is not a candidate, she can"?

Well I realized that there is no thread on good ole Bernie. He should have one so here it is. The man could possibly save America. He is one of the few independents in office here in America. So without further adieu..

While speaking at the Brookings Institution, Sen. Sanders announced that he would not be attending the speech, “The President Of The United States heads up our foreign policy.The idea that the president wasn’t consulted? That’s wrong….I am not going.”

Sen. Sanders joined a growing list of members of Congress who not be attending the speech. The list of Democrats who will not be attending include Reps. Jim Clyburn, John Lewis, Raúl Grijalva, G.K. Butterfield, and Earl Blumenauer. Bernie Sanders is the first senator to announce that he is boycotting the speech in protest of the way that Boehner and Netanyahu have disrespected the president.

Israeli officials are starting to crack under the backlash. Their first move was to try to blame Speaker of the House John Boehner. After throwing Boehner under the bus didn’t work, Israeli officials are considering changing the format of Netanyahu’s speech to make sure that it does not air on primetime television.

Reuters reported, “As a result, Israeli officials are considering whether Netanyahu should speak to a closed-door session of Congress, rather than in a prime-time TV address, so as to drain some of the intensity from the event, a source said. Another option is for the prime minister to make his speech at the annual meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington the same week, rather than in Congress.”

The outrage and boycott are causing Netanyahu to consider burying the speech. The Israeli Prime Minister still intends to give the speech, but public pressure may force him to abandon the publicity stunt of addressing a joint session of Congress on national television.

Ten House Democrats and Sen. Sanders have committed to skipping the speech. No one from the White House will be attending the speech, as the conspiracy to pressure and embarrass President Obama is turning into a humiliating defeat for Boehner and Netanyahu.
