Hillary Scandal(s)
- Thread starter FatPhilM
- Start date
Someone close to her or HRC will be charged. However, its death by a thousand cuts. You've already seen it with email. It's just more of the same. The FBI doesn't commit the kind of resources and expand an investigation to the Foundation and come away with nothing. They have something and it will be bad for her campaign. This happens at a time the electorate is sick of the politics as usual and politicians enriching themselves off the political class. And then you'll have more of Bill's "bimbo eruptions". HRC won't go to jail but she won't be elected President either. Heck, she can't be an old hack like Bernie Sanders "handily" among Democrats. You think Republicans or independents will vote for her. No chance.
Being serious, I cannot imagine a world Trump wins. I think he gets derailed via the primary, a brokered convention or Bloomberg. However, I've been wrong every step of the way on Trump. He might just be rewriting how to win. He has an amazing talent to understand the pulse of the electorate and give them what they want. The real loser is Biden. He's kicking himself daily. He would have run away with the Dem Nomination. HRC just sucks as a candidate.

Erin Mercer, 35, stopped on the way to her car to tell friends how she really felt about Trump: “He’s a misogynist, a bigot, and let’s just say in my middle-aged mom set, a lot of my Republican friends even — I think a lot of them would consider voting for Hillary

A lot of my republican friends....Is that same thing as saying, "hispanics love me, I employ tons of them". But I have no clue what to do with Trump. What I do know is Republicans aren't voting for HRC. This is where Bloombery would get in. Should help you see his path to victory.

Can't wait till Bernie crumbles and Hillary shifts to her general election strategy: "Remember the 90s?"
Each Secretary of State since 2004 has done what HRC has done with the emails, interesting none of them are under investigation. I'm starting to lean Trump. I wish he didn't lie so much, he doesn't have to.

I disagree. As Veep he'd only be able to cancel the Senate, and how hard is that?
Why couldn't that guy from Baltimore gain any traction in the Democratic primaries? He seemed rather vanilla, which would seem like a decent trait given the other candidates. Of course Kasich hasn't built much either, so maybe middle of the road boring just doesn't cut.
Staid white guy is so over. Especially in a dem primary. At a minimum he'd nwed to be gay. If not, you need to be crazy, a minority or running against some injustice.

What makes you a minority? Do you need to be bilingual? First generation american? Different looking? Sporting a large FUPA?
O'Malley was basically a younger version of Mondale. Not even the Democrats want that again. They prefer a guy like Bernie who can put a new spin on tax and spend. also his reign was so terrible in Md. that voters in one of the most liberal states in the country elected a Republican over his No. 2.
Erin Mercer is a Lindsey Graham fan, which btw, nice pleats Lindsey...so not shocked she said this. I guess 35 is middle-aged now.
I defer to those who decide this stuff. Take a look at a standard test or financial aid form where you get to check those boxes. Add in any Ivy League educated woman. They are also subject to the struggle. Do I need to #"struggle"? These rules are so confusing.

What % of these people would you ever be able to convince to take personal responsibility and care for their lives?
I don't think Trump's appeal is all that mysterious. He is appealing to a wide swath of Reps, Dems & Inds who are completely disaffected with both political parties. People are sick of candidates from both parties who will promise anything to get elected and then be business as usual after they take office. A side note on HRC. I think she's physically sick. She looks awful.
Trump is going to win EASILY in South Carolina and Nevada....the whole thing is just fascinating.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Just out Nevada poll shows Jeb Bush at 1%, he should take his dumb mouthpiece, @LindseyGrahamSC, and just go home.

You would look that way too, if adp98 called you every morning at dawn and whispered "the Feds are coming today".
My prediction: The FBI will recommend charges for HRC, but the most politically motivated justice department in recent memory will refuse to indict.
If I had to pick a Susan McDougal in this case, it would be Huma Weiner.

Kmill, Trump hasn't been elected to any office so how can you make that statement?Right, Trump isn't doing that.
There's some new polls out in SC today, too. One has Bush tied with Carson for last place with 4%. I think dragging out Mama Bush & W backfired. If you're vying for what once was the most powerful job in the world, you need to do it on your own. Your family members are not running.

Its laughable how scared the Republican National Committee is of Trump. They even resorted too planting Trump haters in the audience of the last debate. Yet, he will win South Carolina easily. He literally scares them to death.
Another thing: Many politicians over the last several years have threatened to run as a third party candidate but always chickened out from party pressure. Trump will in fact run as a third candidate if he feels the party continues to try and sabotage him. Brokered convention anyone?
