I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

also your most trenchant selling point is "I'm not the other guy"

to be fair it's the only selling point she should need at this point

but yea this election is an indictment of both major parties

No it is not.

so does this reddit email deletion things have legs or nah? i can't tell if it's legit or not but if it is it...kinda is bad, right?

Hillary's righteousness stinks of such bullshit. She does not wear it well. She does wear wisdom and experience well, and works best when she is not over compensating (shouting) and trying to shove it down our throats. She's so defensive it's like she's constantly trying to be better than the other guy, when all she has to do is try to act like herself, because she *is* better than the other guy. Less of this topping Trump with policy, or numbers, or toughness. Trump is not about specifics. She just needs to stress repeatedly that he is a total shithead and disaster and hammer again and again at his failings as a businessman and as a human being.

ugh she's such a republican

so not gonna happen

Why not just say "I want to make sure Donald Trump's tax rate is at least x% ?" Because that puts him on defense, and brings up his taxes, and brings up his wealth, and brings up his gaming the system, *and* introduces her tax policy.

One of the more amusing bits of modernity is the chance that dumb rich folks use message boards like everybody else, so you might just encounter someone like Hijo de Trump on your gun fetishist board.

this election is an indictment of both major parties

For the past decade, Dems should have been cultivating younger leaders for the national spotlight, as it did with Obama. It would have benefited the future party to have some serious contenders for the nomination who weren't AARP members.

I assume they needed a few more years to ripen.

she's not as good at this as say Elizabeth Warren but yeah a little energy is nice

There's an egocentric hateful quality to HRC's rage that I sometimes feel like she is struggling to keep contained. I find it sort of beautiful in its rawness and intensity when it comes out.

also nobody who pays full price for a movie ticket, excepting martin o'malley, wanted to run this year just to lose to clinton xp

that video seems like.. totally par for the course! what are you guys reacting to here? it's obv that "why aren't i 50 points ahead" is self-deprecating and rhetorical and meant to lead on to the answer, which is that "we" haven't shined enough of a spotlight on trump's record. isn't it?

all she has to do is try to act like herself

Getting very 'after-school special' in this thread.

Well, if it's not raw rage and hatred bursting through, it's pretty awful as political rhetoric. I prefer to believe the former.

XP Well, her opponent is a few steps away from flying out a window high on PCP.

AP poll came out late tonight, 6 point lead for Hillary. I feel like, just like last week, state polls trailing national a little and that we'll see some of these battlegrounds break back her way.

btw there is a great horrible Harry Enten article you don't need to read on FiveThirtyBait

hmm.....granted The Hill published it and the Repub House is the one driving it but, does not sound good at all

Gary Johnson Wants to Ignore Climate Change Because the Sun Will Destroy the Earth One Day

we should leave climate change to the states.

states should have the right to decide whether they are over or underwater

congress is after that pagliani guy hard as fuck. they tried to have him come in and plead the fifth for the cameras and he refused.

I definitely think the electorate wants to hear more about emails

my Mississippi public school had to be "re-desegregated" in 1988.

yeah the durham, nc city schools were desegregated in the late 60s, causing the white folk to move to the county schools. when they merged in the mid 90s it had to be done all over again. haven't followed it since then, but given mccrory and the legislature it'll probably be necessary again soon.

i'm continually struck by how motherfuckers who 'hate political correctness' have internalized that the *word* 'racist' is bad and to be avoided or only used to accuse other ppl. if you're bold enough to go on about how these thugs are drug-crazed criminals with obama phones, why balk at the r-word?

also hey look, it's policy: http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/hillary-clinton-policy-agenda

the reddit story really just points to 'in the matter of email security Clinton was not receiving competent advice', it's not really adding anything

that was a 22 year old on the cover of that issue? figured that dude was 12

figured he was dead

I somehow missed that FB bought that stupid company for two fucking billion dollars.

Lmao

NBC/WSJ poll, candidate favorability among undecided in two-way race: Clinton 13% positive, 64% negative; Trump 5% positive, 81% negative

the debate really is going to go "lol i'm not u, i win" eh

I want to know what percent of people are positive about both candidates.

"I am 75% positive that HIllary is a candidate"

A negative times a negative is a positive, so I guess they both win?

why would you allow anyone to take that picture of you and then print it

Some ugly fallout for Facebook on /r/oculus. HTC Vive it is, I guess.

to me it seems less like she's doing something shady and more like the State dept's IT staff not knowing what the hell they are doing. i think those email headers are supposed to be deleted anyway for FOIA requests.

congress is after that pagliani guy hard as fuck. they tried to have him come in and plead the fifth for the cameras and he refused.

yeah I'm inclined to believe this guy is less a criminal and more someone who just wasn't very great at his job.

of course the House is going to go after this. they're desperate. don't forget how thoroughly Republicans embarrassed themselves during the hearing over Comey's investigation

yea I kinda agree which is why it's weird to see it. though on the other hand she really can't win at these things. she's not a naturally gifted speaker the way Obama, Trump, or her husband were. luckily she's always been good on the debate stage so hopefully that'll help peoples perceptions of her.

also lol @ Hillary's team giving a front row debate seat to Mark Cuban. say what you will but their troll game is strong.

do we really need to know the results of of every single new poll

"George W. Bush set a great example for Republican candidates, as do many Republicans in Texas who seem far more comfortable with Hispanic voters and Hispanic culture," Ayres said, adding, "George Bush spoke a version of Spanish, kind of like he spoke a version of English."

lol

I normally find John Judis excruciating but this seems pretty on the mark. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/--100769

indeed. I wish she'd stop talking about Trump for a while. I think we all kinda get it at this point.
