Bill Clinton sure did some dumb things during his wifeâs campaign, but the emails were always a phony issue. The non-voters/third party voters were responsible for Trump.
Lynch should have never relinguished her constitutional and statutory responsibility to make the decision on the Clinton email issue. Just like Obama, who failed his constitutional responsibility to inform the Anerican people of the criminal Russian interference in our presidential election. It is impossible to imagine Republicans doing the same thing if they had been in office.
I assume that Lynch is telling the truth that she did not discuss the email case with Bill Clinton. And I assume that the intelligence agencies know - and can prove - that Putin stole private information for the purpose of giving the election to Trump. By abdicating their responsibilities, Obama and Lynch evidenced weakness and a failure of nerve. As someone who voted for Obama and respects Lynch, these are hard truths to swallow. But it is the truth nevertheless.
or maybe a whole bunch of people didnât vote or voted for trump because Hillary is the second most hated politician in America? Keep believing that the DNCâs torpedoing of Sanders didnât make Trump president. The ugliness
Clinton received something like 2.9 million more votes. Our electoral college is responsible for Trump.
âIâve always said, if you are A DEMOCRAT, in public life, or even in private life, when you make a mistake, you own it.â
There, fixed it for you.
Typical behavior by Democrats, wringing their hands over anything appearing the least bit vulnerable to possible criticism and backing off, while Republicans cackle, do whatever they want, and then double-talk it all away.
Lynch said that because of the conversation with Clinton and the âcontroversyâ that it caused (meaning Republicans criticized it) she backed off playing a stronger role regarding Comey, which explains partly why Comey felt free to engage in behavior that even Republican ex-Justice Dept officials slammed as outrageous and improper meddling in an election.
Iâd say âone day, Democratic politicians and officials will learn to stop expecting good faith from Republicansâ but Iâve basically lost any hope that that will happen.
Imma blow your mind here. The same polls that showed Bernie doing better than Hillary against the mangled apricot hellbeast way back when showed Hillary in a landslide over The Donald Drumpf shortly before the election. My point is that no one knows whether in the heat of a real campaign Bernie would have maintained that or not. The RNC and Drumpf never focused their big guns on him, so weâll never know.
In any event, there were, I believe, three main factors in Hillaryâs surprise defeat: the Russians, Comey, and RNC-driven voter suppression. There were other minor factors like fake news and gullibility/naĂŻvetè of young progressives (foundation! crooked Hillary!), but without those three, she would have won the EC in a landslide.
The most âhatedâ won the popular vote, DUMBO. Change your diaper.
âIt did make people wonder, âis it going to affect the investigation thatâs going on?â
Our AG playing the stupid card. Sheâs an embarrassment ⌠but it all comes back to the Clintonâs playing by their own set of rules.
Weâve known since June that the Russians hacked the DNC, RNC, and John Podesta. Itâs insane to me to think that somehow despite the fact that Obama was all but jumping up and down, tearing his hair out screaming that Pepe is unfit, people wouldâve somehow believed, taken to heart, and voted differently if Obama told them the Russians were trying to tip the election. No, all that wouldâve happened is that people wouldâve dismissed it as nothing more than partisan BS. And the media wouldâve absolutely cosigned that notion.
We got a sucker here who actually believes those Russian forgeries!
And you just keep believing the DNC torpedoed Sanders despite all evidence to the contrary. Stupid liberal canards like that one brought us President elect Pepe.
Sorry, no. Bernieâs got too much baggage and too prickly a temper for the Republicansânot the Trump campaign, mind you, but the RNC and PACsâto have not hit him on issues that werenât even raised in the primary, like being a socialist. That, and the soundbite of him clarifying âA Democratic Socialistâ wouldâve anchored every single campaign ad against him.
âBernie wants to raise your taxes. Do you know why? Do you know heâs not even a real Democrat? What were you again, Bernie?â
âA Democratic Socialist.â
cue âthe contents of this advertisement have been approved by HeâsACommiePAC.â
And holy crap, if the Russian hacking had happened then.
âRussia is conducting illegal attacks on America, trying to throw our election. What kind of candidate do you think they support? A dyed-in-the-wool capitalist businessman?â
âA Democratic Socialistâ
âThanks for clearing that up, Bernie.â
Absolutely my first reaction. She should have attacked, not apologized. I am getting really tired of Democrats taking the âHigh roadâ and being seen as weak. You can get on the offensive without being offensive. Strength and Truth, people!
Weâve known since June that the Russians hacked the DNC, RNC, and John Podesta.
Whoâs the âweâveâ youâre talking about? It certainly wasnât the American people.
Obama was all but jumping up and down, tearing his hair out screaming that Pepe is unfit,
A press conference back in June announcing Russiaâs complicity in subverting our election process would have been sufficient.
No, all that wouldâve happened is that people wouldâve dismissed it
What âpeopleâ?
Try and do better next time.
The big difference between Republicans and Democrats: The Republicans do shit and regardless of how immoral or unethical their acts, they stand up and defend them and carry onâŚturning America into a war zoen with all these guns on our streets is one perfect example. Republicans donât give a shit.
Democrats on the other handâŚif they get caught in the act, they tuck their tail and run and look like complete chumps.
Lynch meeting with Clinton was nothing compared to what Republicans and their corrupt billionaires are always doingâŚrigging everything for the rich and screwing the bottom 90%!
Keep believing that the DNC âtorpedoedâ Bernie. Because clearly, one party that invents its own facts and sticks stubbornly to them no matter how conclusively theyâre shown to be ridiculous isnât enough. Putin went to considerable trouble and expense to reinforce that mindset and thanks you for your continued captivity.
Oh PLEASE. Sanders was NEVER GOING TO BE PRESIDENT. You live in a dream world. The MINUTE he would have become the candidate they would have slammed his âsocialismâ and he wouldnât have been âone of usâ. STOP IT. I love BernieâŚit wasnât going to happen.
Thatâs horse shit. The intelligent community announced that they believed with every confidence that Russia was hacking the DNC, and that it came from the highest levels in Russian government. They announced this publicly in October, weeks before the election. It was a freaking debate questions FFS!
So Obama informed the American people. Just some refused to listen because Black man in White House = very bad, emails andâŚI want my unicorn, where is it??
Quite frankly, the only ânew developmentâ since that original announcement has been that Comey finally decided to get in line with every other intelligence agency, and that they concluded the obviousâŚthat the hacking was done to support Trump. (Duh!! Just look at what happened and what didnt happen and who it benefited)
