Indeed. This only further cements how intelligent and politically shrewd she is. She's a kingmaker.
Look out Hillary!"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

The intelligence community's inspector general had to have his security clearance level increased just to read some of the emails gathered off of Hillary Clinton's server (really, what's the point now that the Chinese, Russians and every eastern European hacker now have them). Remember that Hillary Clinton was accessing this home server via a remote desktop connection.
It was revealed a week or two ago that Hillary told people to remove the classification markings off some of the documents so they could be transmitted. I wonder if this was done with the super top secret items.
Meanwhile, a CNN poll came out today that showed Bernie Sanders up by 27 points over Hillary in New Hampshire. So, Trump vs. Bernie might actually happen. The GOP has grossly underestimated Trump's abilities in dealing with the media. Think about it this way -- how many celebrities have consistently maintained such a high profile over the course of 30 years +? It's not that Donald Trump has ever been the most famous man on the planet -- he's not Michael Jordan in 1992. But he's been a pretty big celebrity over a very long period of time. Dealing with the media and looking for opportunities to keep himself in the limelight is second nature to him.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

There's also the question of whether the Justice Department will choose to indict Hillary. Right now, the FBI is run by James Comey who is not an Obama appointee. He's a fairly straight shooter and I don't think the FBI will let up on this. The FBI doesn't make the final decision on whether to indict, especially in a case like this.
Hillary appears to be imploding right now. That doesn't necessarily mean that she won't get the nomination. But if she's flailing badly and if she has a bad showing in Iowa and New Hampshire, Obama/Lynch might decide the Democratic party is better off without her this cycle. Imagine the impact of the decision to bring Hillary before a grand jury (or enter into plea negotiations) after a loss in New Hampshire.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

Trump v Bernie...whoever wins, we loseComment

I read an article that Trump's appeal is tied to those voters who believe in authoritarianism, as the single most determining factor. Apparently, the statistician determined it runs across partylines.Originally posted by YOhio View Post
In many respects, Trump seems to be a mirror image of Hillary. Each vacillates on positions. Each has questionable character. Hillary has two public positions and did not perform well in those two positions. Trump has never held public office yet campaigns for the highest public office. If we are faced with those two options, heaven help us. We have socialistic statist on one hand, who has no character and is willing to do anything to win. On the other hand, we have a pure capitalist who will say anything to get elected and has no history of honesty or studied public policy.
Do you we go with Richard Nixon's evil twin, who has no leadership abilities, or the rich buffoonlike capitalist?"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

How is that worse than Trump v. Hillary? In Bernie, we have a buffoon versus another buffoon, but in Hillary, we have a crook versus a buffoon.Originally posted by Maximus View Post"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

We are too pessimistic as people. George Bush was just about the worst I could imagine but for the most part it only affected my life tangentially. I am sure that some feel the same way about Obama. The nature of our system makes even incremental change difficult, and policy changes short term.Originally posted by Maximus View Post

I think life changed pretty dramatically for people paying a much more for healthcare, and long term effects of ignoring debt is worrisome, but I guess that is right.Originally posted by New Mexican Disaster View PostComment

The direct impact, fortunately, is often minimal, but we are not too pessimistic. Statists overestimate what government can do. And because they overestimate what it can do, they overpromise what it should do. Skepticism as to claims by or about politicians is good. We can rarely have too much of it. Naturally, if people deny science such a vaccines based on ignorance, that is unhealthy. But doubting claims by politicians is good.Originally posted by New Mexican Disaster View Post
However, I was affected by Obama. He promised the enactment of PPACA would allow me to keep my policy of insurance. I both lost my policy of health insurance and had to replace it with worse insurance at twice the rate. We have relatives in the military who are placed in harms way because of his adventurist policies and Hillary is also a "do-gooder" hawk. Tax rates increase and affect me as well. Yes, Obama's policies have directly affected me and not in a good way.
His other policies don't have an immediate direct impact.
A politician who wants more reasonable and lower tax rates would directly impact me. A less warlike president would also affect my relatives. Somebody committed to correcting the harm on the insurance industry would directly affect me.
A Hillary election will see more taxes, more restrictions on property rights, such as fracking, more outcomes based policies as opposed to opportunity based policies, more failed foreign policies and wars to correct social injustice instead of war for economic rights or to protect natural or long term allies. And given her lack of transparency on anything, we can anticipate privacy rights will take a significant hit as well.Last edited by Topper; 01-19-2016, 09:36 PM."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

I know from past experience that it will not do any good to argue with you. I'm sorry that your insurance went up. Several of my family members who are not well to do were able to purchase insurance at a price that was substantially reduced rate (due to pre-existing conditions). The insurance I purchase for my employees has had reduced price inflation, so I guess I am lucky. I guess that is the point, that there are winners and losers in any change and I happen to have more folks on the winning side.Originally posted by Topper View PostComment

Oh good hell...
Donald Trump says he's going to make Apple build computers in the US
If elected, presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to make Apple start "building their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries."
Trump's ultimatum to the most valuable company in the world was made toward the end of a 45-minute speech he gave Monday at Liberty University in Virginia.
The leading candidate in the Republican presidential race said he would impose a 35% business tax on American businesses manufacturing outside the United States, as noted by Gizmodo.
Apple has manufactured its Mac Pro at a factory in Texas since 2013, but the vast majority of its products (including the iPhone) are largely made and assembled in China.

Hold on to your butts, CNN reporting that Cruz will roll out a Glen Beck endorsement later this week.
This has got to be new low for these CNN talking heads to actually be analyzing the political moves of Trump, Cruz, and now Palin. What a freak show.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
