May 25, 201610 yr comment_858182 excellent, now actually get a move on it or are you fellows taking lessons from the belgian justice department? It's the Obama Administration's State Department and Justice Department... we are all very used to them never doing anything to hurt their own... frankly, I'm a bit shocked to see this come out at all, so now I'm believing the Obama's hate the Clinton's even more than I knew they did. Maybe the State Department knows that the FBI will be doing something?... and didn't want to be seen as obstructionists? Like we already know they are? We have all been waiting a very long time. So wait, they are both ready-ing this massive "sink Hillary" bazooka to go off the minute she clinches the nomination in delegate numbers AND they are backpaddling this to the next decade to keep her going strong? Make up your mind will ya. Anyway, when will "grudge" be taken of the political menu? Society wants to actually move on once... Report
May 26, 201610 yr Author comment_858286 According to the Associated Press and Real Clear Politics... Donald Trump has clinched the Republican nomination for President. Their calculations have him at 1,238 delegates, and he is now the official nominee. Now it's on to the convention. The Democrats on the other hand... have their hands full... of something... I don't know, it's not my problem. Report

June 1, 201610 yr Author comment_859599 I'd suggest that y'all return back to the topic at hand which is Clinton vs Trump rather than debating about whether or not America is the greatest thing ever produced. This debate was getting to the point. Do continue...I agree... some don't like Dinesh D'Souza's description of the situation we find ourselves in, here in the USA, and use my OP to derail the conversation from the utter train wreck called Hillary Clinton. I still have a strong feeling she will never make it to the nomination... this email thing is just too awful to ignore any longer. The Democrats problem is not giving the nomination to Bernie Sanders... who has never been, or run for anything as a Democrat until now. Report
June 3, 201610 yr comment_859862 Sorry for getting OT, but the troll bait was irresistible. Back to the election; I think Trump is unstoppable now. A month ago I thought Hilary had it in the bag because of Trump's low appeal to women but he seems to have finessed that one away by drawing attention to the dysfunctional nature of Bill & Hilary & Monica & fill-in-the-blank. Also he is avoiding any crude offensive statements now and sounding much more presidential. There is a possibility Hilary won't even get the nomination. Especially if she is indicted (which she ought to be but probably won't) On a lighter note, I predict the first scandal of the Trump administration will be when he is caught using illegal Mexican labour to build the wall.

He's got a blog over there, where he is looking at the presidential race between Clinton and Trump. He's not taking sides, just analyzing their ads and slogans for persuasive speech. Based on his very small window of looking at it, Trump is blowing Clinton away. On a lighter note, I predict the first scandal of the Trump administration will be when he is caught using illegal Mexican labour to build the wall.Now that would be just hilarious. Report
June 3, 201610 yr Author comment_859887 I think Hillary blew her wad yesterday. She arranged a ground breaking speech on foreign policy, that ended up being a very polished, teleprompter delivered, Trump bashing event that played every blistering anti-Trump card in the deck, and had nothing to do with foreign policy. It was a desperate play to win California from Bernie Sanders, and try to make Donald Trump so distasteful that no one will ever think of supporting him ever again. This speech needed to be delivered in late October, and I expected it in late October... she did it in early June. Now anytime she repeats this stuff over the next 5 months, it will only sound like canned crap from her old bag of Trump hate. It will look very bad for her to lose California, and still get the nomination... so this was a desperate attempt to change the inevitable embarrassment of claiming the nomination through buying super-delegates... and it takes a lot to make Hillary Clinton look worse than she already does.

The list of 426 conservative organizations included 60 groups that contained the word "Tea" in their title... 33 that contained the word "Patriot"... 8 that used the word "Constitution"... and 26 that used the word "Liberty". I wonder what other words that were deemed too dangerous to our national security by the criminal Obama Administration? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/06/irs-releases-list-groups-targeted-in-scandal-3-years-later.html?intcmp=hpbt1 Report

Our District Judges are elected, our Federal Judges are appointed. Curiel is an Obama appointee and the case against Trump is represented by an attorney group that has paid about $650,000 for two speeches from Bill Clinton. The Judge in question, is a member of La Raza Lawyers Association. I believe Trump has enough reason to believe he is not receiving a fair trial on a civil case that the plaintiff was dismissed because she was lying. It's a straight up political hit job. Nice try.
