Still think this is Hillary's to lose - both the nomination and general election. Below are interesting takes. The first is from a former Clinton pollster. The second is a guy I don't know but seems to be a Bernie supporter and is not very clear about his sources, so I take it with a huge grain of s...

JScott

Will be interesting to see how Hillary spins the OIG report, which pretty much confirms everything we've been saying here in contradiction to her ongoing narratives. So far she seems to be sticking to the same lines, "everyone else did it, " "I followed the rules" etc. despite th...

For some reason that middle link is glitchy and won't take. Cut and paste:

There are many like these below. There are some that go past a dozen, dating back to Arkansas. I'm not commenting on their validity, just that they exist. http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/more-women-about-to-drop-bombshell-accusing-bill-clinton-of/ http://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/celebrity/...

JScott

Jim, agree. Polls out this week show it even (some even have The Donald with a lead!) and this is still the honeymoon phase compared to what's coming. Jal, also agree. I don't think even Trump believes what he says. As far as I know though, no one has accused Trump of rape. Boorish behavior and word...

JScott

Another interesting take:

JScott

I think we're assuming that Bernie is responsible for creating this foment and backlash. He provides a platform for it, but even if he drops out it is a mistake to think the agitators will suddenly fall in line and fall in love with Hillary. There is an simmering, angry and very motivated undercurre...

Conundrum: is she more unelectable than Trump? Where is Aristotle when you need him.......

As I saw in a headline recently, "the evil of two lessers."

JScott

Meanwhile, in other news, all of the emails for the Director of IT at State during Hillary's entire four year term are missing. I'm sure it's coincidence and there was nothing of note in them. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/emails-found-hillary-clintons-senior-staffer-state-department/story?id=38989...

JScott

God I miss that guy.......

JScott

David, I linked and outlined some of this above. In short, as do all State Dept employees, she completed a two hour course on management of state secrets, etc. and signed off on a directive that states it is her responsibility to know what is classified, regardless of whether it is marked, because i...

JScott

Stefan, LMAO. David, don't disagree with your Bernie criticisms at all. Funny, though, insert Trump instead of Bernie and re-read what you wrote. Regarding the email, I hear you, I've unfortunately grown to have very little faith in almost everyone up there. But I don't buy the "everyone else i...

JScott

David, I understand your frustration with Bernie, but I don't think I'd call him a phony either. I think he sincerely believes what he says. He's just detached from reality. Which isn't better. Blanquito, Hillary's camp has been trying to press the "everybody else did it too" narrative, bu...

JScott

Ha! I think I said on the first page of this thread the more you get to known Kasich the less you'll like him.

JScott

Christie would be risky geographically and stylistically. They are the same. Supposedly Kasich is high on the list. Ohio is critical.

JScott

Have to admit, this is interesting to watch, and like Jacques says, hilarious at times. Except I keep realizing this is real.

JScott

Trump has said he'd consider Rubio. Doubt it will happen. Watch him pick someone like Mark Cuban.

JScott

Warren for Hillary?

JScott

Lindsay Graham says he's not voting for either Trump or Clinton. I may join him. What a pathetic choice. Dick Cheney is down for Trump. Most surprising Trump endorsement for me is Rand Paul. Meanwhile Ben Carson is apparently helping The Donald with his Veep selection and says he may tap a Dem. The...

JScott

I think we're seeing the reality TV Trump. I don't think he really means half of what he says. What he would do in office is anyone's guess. I can't even decide whether on balance his administration would end up being more liked by the Left or the Right.

JScott

Haha. I can only imagine the dynamic between Hillary and Michelle. Barry will be holding his nose campaigning for her and hearing from Michelle the whole time. I'm guessing he would love to stick it to Trump though. The interesting thing here is that the Beltway crowd still doesn't get why Trump has...

JScott

The National Enquirer/Entertainment Tonight spin is that the Obamas and the Clintons don't play canasta Thursday nights. Do you buy the "bad blood" tabloids?

JScott

Bold predictions from the BD.

Also looks like you were first, but not alone, in calling out Nate.

Here we go.

Consider the source, yada yada. Didn't take long for the campaign to get going. This is going to be ugly.

JScott

Okay so maybe the only other person who brings as much enthusiasm to Bordeaux as Jeff Leve is Alex. Cheers and well done.

JScott

David and Blanquito's points about consistency are really the heart of the matter. I don't have to agree with a critic lockstep - or can disagree completely - what's critical is consistency of opinion. That is useful and actionable, regardless of style preference. I can use any yardstick as long as ...

JScott

The nature of this whole wine thing, what makes it fun and interesting, is that everyone brings their own opinion and no one is provably right. Only opinion and possible consensus. That and the stuff is just so damned interesting. I think it's fair to say that whether or not you agree with his opini...

JScott

I can't begin to handicap the race from here. As with the whole primary season so far, there are still so many unknown variables I can see it going almost any direction, including third party (the longest shot, admittedly). I keep waiting for Trump to go a bridge too far and implode, but in my opini...

JScott

Stefan, honestly, for the first time in my life, I'm debating whether I will vote. My sister in law is telling me I'm a coward and I have to choose. I don't know if I can. Who are you backing at his point?

JScott

Wow! Is Trump going to be challenged in Cleveland or is it over? And did I see The Donald say this week he'd consider Cruz for the high court??

JScott

Aloha, maybe I did misread you. I thought you were saying that you thought the investigation was a conspiracy. Apologies. Yes, there are those in her camp, including Bill of course, who are painting this all as a witch hunt. She has clearly violated existing statutes (see above). The question is whe...

JScott

If you don't see the conspiracy you're not looking hard enough. Does that about sum it up? Right. The FBI has a year long conspiracy against the Clintons. Is the FBI part of the vast right wing that is responsible for every pile she steps in? I gag when she does her "what do you mean wipe, lik...

JScott

I'm with Jim on this one. Bernie hasn't been as rough on the establishment or Hillary as Trump has been on his counterparts. Is he supposed to seriously run for the office by praising his opponent's every move? I think the criticism is not out of bounds for modern politics, and if the establishments...

JScott

Usually in a presidential campaign if you take the union of the good points of the leading candidates you have an outstanding presidential prospect. This year if you union all the good points you still end up with a lousy person for president. +1 We have finally reached a point where no decent pers...

JScott

Tim, I suspect you'll be popping that one before the holidays.

Jim, I did see that. You mean you didn't get the same thrill up your leg when Hillary laid on hands??

JScott

Ha! Not a Huma fan either. Regarding Hillary, your naive country lawyer from Maine trumps my simple country, midwest faith healer. My understanding is that the investigation is still ongoing and then will be referred to Justice, where it will die. It isn't up to the FBI to arrest and charge, so I he...

JScott

I still look back on that and can't believe it actually happened the way it did. I remember meeting Nic outside the restaurant that first night some of us got in. He got there first and for about ten minutes had the sudden realization that maybe this was all an internet hoax, that he had been punked...

JScott

Jim, I think the thing that makes it a problem is that she was repeatedly and expressly told not to do what she did, by the NSA and other agencies. She inquired about it, supposedly so she could get all of her and her staffs emails on her Blackberry (this is part of what is in the emails in question...

JScott

Now THAT would be entertaining!
