It's the dog that didn't bark

It's the dog that didn't bark; the GOP/Wall Street insiders who didn't give up a top Democrat, unlike the famed raving of the broker who inspired the Tea Party (how come *he* wasnt called on his Dean Scream? Double standards, no?). Where are all the mobile phone videos? Coulda been the rich man's Ferguson.

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks for the compliment. Almost enough to persuade me to enter into your fantasy world in which I suppose Monica seduces Hillary while Bill is chair of Save the Children.

By the way there are bankers and there are bankers. Republicans and Democrats, good guys or bums. In 2089 many of the good guys helped Obama deal with the mess he inherited. Partly why I have never joined in with the denunciation of Hillary's addressing a room full of Goldman Sachs executives . BTW surely their names are obtainable but since none of them are being quoted I infer she said nothing that could be used against her.

PS - Bill's tarmac escapades.

Why should we trust voters?

Why should we trust voters? Why trust anyone? Peter - you're halfway there -lose the rest of your starry-eyed beliefs and you'll see the soulless universe for what it is.

What was Hillary's email

What was Hillary's email server doing on Lynch's plane anyhow? Enquiring minds want to know.

Nice try, Flav but you can't

Nice try, Flav but you can't separate this dynamic duo, they are a grifter team of two. Hillary has already designated Willie to handle domestic economic policy and HRC's minions are saying that he gets FP also so she can spend her time boozing with the other parasites who inhabit DC, This is straight from the minions mouths and reflects what a 'good job' the Red Queen intends to inflict on the country.

It seems that her promoters are worried that there is a 'trust deficit' among voters, read no one trusts her, except possibly her Bankster friends. Obama and others, who are just as untrustworthy, will now try to convince wary voters that she will become trustworthy somewhere in the future, just for them, HA!

No, Hal - I've been posting less because Hillary won - no need to "defend" - it's over, and has been for months. And Trump is his own joke. You, however, lost your cause. Must suck. But that doesn't buy you a do-over to re-arbitrate the primaries. Gotta go, life is calling.

Although I understand you´re following the almost universal practice I disagree with the way you join Bill and Hillary together in your broad criticisms. Obviously I know that Bill used the approach but that

doesn´t mean EDIT it is intellectually respectable to employ it now.

When you or anyone attack ¨the Clintons ¨ with behaving dishonorably it´s impossible of course for anyone to reply that they´re not dishonorable if only because of Monica.

Bill is Bill ,you can attack him if you want and I for one won´t reply because I just don´t care.When you attack Hillary I do care because I would like to see her become President ,not just to avoid the national tragedy of a Trump presidency but also because I believe she´ll do a good job.

Turning to one of your specific criticisms of her -I personally am not in the least bit critical of her for not ¨taking responsibility¨ a la Loretta Lynch. In some other country , or some other time ,that might have been considered praiseworthy. Evidence of high moral standards etc. etc. etc. An electoral plus.

Hillary ´s trying to get elected in this country, now. Anything she actually admits will be magnified and be the basis for a claim that if she admitted to A then surely B, C and D should also be true. I remember her misguided frankness about not staying home to bake cookies. As she must do too.

Hmn. Didn´t intend to end there but I´ll save it and continue in a follow on.

Clearly this was intended as

In reply to Hal

Clearly this was intended as implied criticism of Hillary whom , you believe, would have behaved otherwise.

1) She did not blame partisan politics for the issue being raised. 2) She did not insist that she's an honest and trustworthy person or that 3) nobody has shown a connection between her meeting with Bill Clinton and any favors she did for anybody. 4) She did not insist that she complied with all the rules in effect at the time. 5) Likewise, she did not claim other Attorneys General did exactly what she did and nobody raised a ruckus. 6) She did not send out surrogates to attack the media.

So what should Hillary have said/done?

1. ¨Damn straight it´s partisan politics.¨

2. Same answer

3. Doesn´t apply. There are special reasons why the AG should not do favors

4.¨I thought you´d never ask. What you really want to know is why I wanted to work at home on behalf of the country. Because the work load required it.¨

¨Oh, did I intend to flout the rules? Of course not. I intended to do my job. If the rules did not permit that

the rules were wrong. Next question.¨

5.¨ Yes I agree Colin Powell did the same. As he´s said. BTW, I´ve been somewhat amused that a certain number of people who praise Snowden have now become highly protective of security regulations.¨

6.¨ I´m running for office. Like every other office seeker I try to get along with the media since I would like to be elected.¨
