She very well may, but you won't see here denying evolution, Obama's birth certificate, 97% of the scientists who support research that says global warming is man made and real, etc.

I may have already said I won't vote for her ... but that could change depending on who her VP is.

Heard Oliver North was on her short list...

Did you know James Webb whooped Oliver North's ass in the Brigade Boxing Championship at the Naval Academy?

Never had any interest in meeting actors, athletes or politicians but I'd go out of my way to listen to Webb talk if I had the chance.

First became aware of him when I stumbled across his books in the base library at Naval Air Facility, Atsugi, Japan back in the mid 80s. Or his being SECNAV could have led me to them.

Probably so, but I'd like to hear more of what he as to say. Now if he took a really progressive stand on economic policies it might change everything.

HILLARY CLINTON’S TITANIC CAMPAIGN STEAMS INTO CALIFORNIA, LEAKING BADLY



Six weeks ago, the Huffington Post’s lead article was “Why Hillary Can’t Lose.” But the S.S. Clinton campaign that steams into southern California on Friday increasingly looks like the arrogant crew of the Titanic that continued to run full-throttle after hitting an iceberg, because their ship was “Practically Unsinkable.”

Hillary Clinton will arrive in Los Angeles following President Obama’s arrival the day before for high-visibility speeches at a pair of Democratic National Committee fundraisers:a roundtable discussion hosted by producer Chuck Lorre in Pacific Palisades, and a dinner at the Beverly Hills home of filmmaker Tyler Perry.

Two months ago, with 70 percent of the public already following the election closely, Clinton’s poll numbers were over 50 percent and up at least 10 points against every Republican challenger, according to a survey by Rasmussen Reports. Hillary also commanded a 52-point lead over every conceivable Democrat contender.

But as Clinton launched her campaign on June 13, the media were already questioning her inevitability. Lead stories included the Washington Post‘s “Clinton the Inauthentic,” and the Washington Times’ “Unhappy with Hillary.” New York Times columnist Frank Bruni attacked Clinton on Twitter for being “chronically unethical” like Richard Nixon, and described her as “psychological torture” for the Democrat Party–“Hillary the Tormentor.”

This turmoil is burning brightest in the Democrats’ first primary state of New Hampshire. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an avowed Socialist, has quadrupled his support in state polls from just single digits two months ago to 31 percent, while Hillary Clinton plummeted by 20 points to only 41 percent. Clinton is still up in the Quinnipiac national poll by 57-15. But that is only because Sanders’s name ID is a fraction of Clinton’s. As this “bad news” goes viral, Sanders persona will explode onto the national scene.

The New York Observer just published, “Berniemania! Why Is Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders So Popular?“. The cover page illustration has Sanders in rolled-up sleeves with a bullhorn shouting down a thunderstruck Hillary Clinton in her signature pants suit. Wall Street’s bull, and little bankers in pin-striped-suits, are groaning desperately, trying to hold Hillary up. But an army of supporters are marching to Sanders, carrying signs saying, “Run Bernie Run!”; “Robin Hood was Right”; “Out with the Oligarchs”; and “Beat Wall Street.”

The Observer reports that Senator Sanders packed a recreation hall on Saturday in Keene, New Hampshire with 700 supporters, a big number in such a small state. His fans, wearing “homemade T-shirts Magic Markered” with “Bernie 2016,” listened attentively as Sanders lamented the plight of a young local teacher, whose “only crime” was to want a master’s degree: “She is now $200,000 in debt and paying interest rates between 6 and 9 percent….All of this stuff is crazy stuff.”

Sanders thundered about the need to reform environmental policies or suffer: “more drought, more famine, more rising sea levels, more floods, more ocean acidification, more extreme weather disturbances, more disease and more human suffering.”

When Clinton gets into trouble she seems to clam up and hope the misfortune will go away. David Martosko, US Political Editor for the Daily Mail–with the largest online audience of any English-language newspaper in the world–was dumped Tuesday as the Clinton camp’s “traveling pool” reporter, who serves as all the print reporters’ “eyes and ears at events where a room is too small to fit a crush of questions from a larger group.” The Internet exploded with viral rage that Martosko was being punished by Clinton goons for actually reporting about the competitive race in New Hampshire, rather than just regurgitating the Clintons’ talking points.

Hillary Clinton will try to stay below the radar in Los Angeles as she mines Hollywood cash on Friday. She will attend a $2,700-per-person event at the home of Spider-Man actor Toby Maguire and his wife, Jennifer Meyer. She then will head over to another $2,700-per-person event at the home of HBO programming president Michael Lombardo and his husband, Sonny Ward.

The S.S. Hillary Clinton campaign is not commenting about the underwater damage they have suffered. The Huffington Post claimed: “People who like Hillary will vote for her no matter what, and people who strongly dislike her will vote against her no matter what. And because more people now tend to like her than hate her, that small slice of people still wavering in the middle won’t decide this thing.”

Six weeks later and Clinton’s support wavering, the 2016 Presidential election is beginning to look wide open.

How 'bout them apples!

You could always put this on a quarter..."In God We Trust," would not be inscribed in this instance.

What happened to the rest of the right wing loonysphere? Breitrbart seems to have it mostly sewn up these days. And he's dead.

Doddering Old Souse Has Senior Moment



Hillary Clinton Calls Legendary Nevada Political Reporter Jon Ralston "Joe" Twice

"It’s not as if this was just some cub reporter/stringer out of a 5,000-watt radio station in Fresno. Nor can this be chalked up to confusion from an overwhelming number of interviews Hillary Clinton has allowed on the campaign trail. Jon Ralston of Ralston Reports is one of the best-known political reporters and analysts in Nevada, an important swing state in the 2016 election, and Hillary hasn’t sat for many interviews with reporters of this stature in the past three months. Yet the nation’s former top diplomat managed to get Jon’s name wrong, not once but twice."

You gotta LOVE the one she's asked about:

Benghazi

When the House committee investigating the Benghazi terror attacks asked: “Can we see all your emails related to Democratic messaging in the wake of the attacks?” Clinton responded: “Thanks, but no.”

Have we mentioned HRC is a greedy, grasping grifter, thieving dollars from the charities she supposedly "supports"? No?

Your right she should switch parties. Be right at home with all the gormless repubtards.

Bernie Sanders, who’s emerged as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, drew an estimated 4,500 people to the University of Denver on Saturday night for what appeared to be one of the largest political rallies of the 2016 cycle.
Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist senator from Vermont, delivered a fiery speech in a packed university gymnasium, where he decried the greed of the billionaire class, saying it is “destroying this nation.” Besides the more than 3,000 people in the gym, others listened in an adjacent atrium, where speakers were set up, and on a nearby lacrosse field, where the speech was streamed on the scoreboard, according to those on the scene.

The extraordinary turnout was the latest evidence that Sanders, 73, has tapped into the economic anxiety of the Democratic electorate. In recent weeks, his crowds have swelled, and his poll numbers have been on the rise, particularly in New Hampshire, the nation’s first primary state.

Sanders touched on familiar themes during his speech, which was streamed live on social media sites Saturday night. He called the nation’s current minimum wage of $7.25 “a starvation wage.” He lamented that the United States does not guarantee medical leave and vacation time. He derided a trade deal being pushed by President Obama, and he urged that more be done to combat climate change.

Sanders's audience -- in a state not among those with traditional early nominating contests -- rivaled the largest drawn by Clinton and other candidates in recent weeks.
[Meet the people coming to see Bernie Sanders in Iowa]
Clinton’s team put the crowd at about 5,500 a week ago when she held a rally at New York City’s Roosevelt Island that was billed as the formal launch of her campaign. An estimated 5,000 supporters streamed to Sanders’s hometown kickoff in Burlington, Vt., in late May. And a few days later, Sanders drew a reported crowd of close to 3,000 in Minneapolis.
Before he took the stage, Sanders’s audience in Denver was treated to a selection of recorded songs by classic rocker Neil Young. Earlier this week, Republican contender Donald Trump used a Young song, “Rockin’ in the Free World,” as he came on stage for his announcement. That drew a rebuke from Young, a Canadian citizen who said he is supporting Sanders.
The crowd count of 4,500 for Saturday's event was provided by University of Denver officials and also cited in a Sanders news release. The Denver Post later reported a somewhat higher figure of close to 5,000.

There isn't much entertainment value in watching you and ltnt beat each other off.

That's about all this thread is useful for now.

And in forthcoming posts:

Fake Clinton Scandal Number 1,203
Fake Clinton Scandal Number 1,204

etc.
etc.

Still, at least you got the thread title right.

No mate, too much boredom. Same old drivel, over and over. And no doubt, just as Hillary is on the eve of being elected the first female potus of the USA, you'll swear blind that the Republicans will win. Again. Heard that before, haven't we?

Rinse and repeat, ad infinitum. Yawwwn.

Heh...the TDMA boys have thrown in the towel!

Nope, I wouldn't. If you'd know anything about Communism/Socialism you'd not comment like that . . .

Oh don't worry, I'll keep an eye out in the miniscule chance that Booners posts something meaningful.

But don't keep your hopes up.

Thanks once again, for the....poll.
