This will doubtless be a pearoast but as the FBI has announced it's re-opening the investigation into Hillary's email fiasco, maybe Donald won't need to go full-on 'Darth Trump' 
If only there was some way of determining if exactly the same thing had already been posted to a thread and so save the effort of posting it again.Fox is reporting that classified emails from the Clintbot have turned up on Anthony Weiner's (crazy name, crazy guy.) email devices and they aren't just ones discussing her support garments. They are FAR more serious.
I would suspect that as Mr Weiner is in under investigation for sextexting a 15 year old girl, that he's probably cashed in his Blackberry as some kind of plea bargain.

As I've said many times on this thread - She wasn't my first choice because of the baggage she brings. She is vastly experienced though and I believe she will be a good president.
I also disagree that she would have lost to any of the others. Cruz was second choice for the GOP and he was as unelectable as Trump. Kasich gives the impression of being a nice guy (albeit one with very strong views on abortion and a notoriously short temper) but he can't motivate his base.
Right. And every time that baggage is mentioned, you write it off. Aside from Ted Cruz, she is the worst candidate in the race. And that is saying something, given that Trump is on board.I also disagree that she would have lost to any of the others. Cruz was second choice for the GOP and he was as unelectable as Trump.

Maybe the people who run the show don't want the old girl in.
She never did much for world peace and not getting on with her adversary Mr Putin won't help.
Politics is a funny business.
Domestic policies in the States isn't the best is it? Healthcare, massive job losses in so many states and crooked Hillary is not going to sort it.

Calm down. Weiner was married to Huma Abiden. Of course there are emails between Huma and Weiner. The FBI have not said that the emails incriminate HRC or anyone else, they are reporting the facts as they have to. There will be nothing to this.I would suspect that as Mr Weiner is in under investigation for sextexting a 15 year old girl, that he's probably cashed in his Blackberry as some kind of plea bargain.

You're as embedded in the partisan nature of US politics as the worst zealots on either side. Maybe trying to overcompensate for being new there.I also disagree that she would have lost to any of the others. Cruz was second choice for the GOP and he was as unelectable as Trump.

The worst part is you don't even realise it.
Agreed with the others, like choosing between lung cancer and polio and being told you should be grateful for the choice.

Do you just type the first thing that comes into your head? Massive job losses? What planet do you live on? We've had 79 consecutive months of private sector job growth here in the US. 
"Massive job losses" happened under Bush, we were losing 600,000 a month when Obama came in. He's added 15 million jobs.
Oh we also have a record stock market, strong home and new car sales, highest consumer confidence levels for 10 years and Obama has an approval rating of 55% and growing (Bush was at 29% at this time).
Do a bit of research if you want to join in an adult conversation.

Well said! I think both are dangerous, but Clinton does seem more of a warmonger, so Trump may be the lesser of two evils. Although how both of these people got run in the first place is baffling!
Trump is in hock to China and is in awe of Putin, who he's also in hock to. He has no clue militarily and has talked of abandoning NATO, giving nukes to various countries and has not ruled out using our nukes in Europe. But you think Clinton's the dangerous one.
PH is so entertaining.

Wikileaks reporting that Hilary's campaign manager has deleted all his tweets at the same time the FBI announced reopening investigation.

Trump is a truly dangerous individual. He will be well beaten on Nov 8th but the fact that he got this far is a terrible indictment of the Republican Party. They will split in two after this with the true loonys like 5ohpreston going with Bannon and the Alt Right and the rump going with Ryan and Rubio & co. Either way they will probably never win the White House again and, as demographics continue to move against them, will lose more and more congressional influence until they are as relevant as the Whigs.
