Hillary 2016

oops.... so Hillary was in Columbus today, speaking on Women's Rights. News that I see quotes 8000 attendees with overflow on CC TV. But twitter is showing an empty room. No more than maybe 30-50 people... whoyagonnabelieve...

 

edit: ok, Columbus Dispatch says 500. Most news sources are avoiding the subject of attendance. The video of the speech shows maybe 100. Unfortunately, it appears that many of those were press and staff. Sorry, but somebody is lying about the attendance. Probably everyone.

 

edit: and I missed this one from 10TV: "On Thursday, the modest-sized ballroom in downtown Columbus was half empty, with Clinton supporters herded into a cordoned-off area to give the impression of a packed crowd."

 

 

She claims to have enough votes for the nomination already.

I read today in the BBC, an opinion that Americans have given up on politicians, and are leaning toward those candidates with no political experience. The polls tend to go along with that. I think there's only three running that weren't previously politicians, and their poll numbers are currently rising.

 

How many US presidents had no prior political experience?

...How many US presidents had no prior political experience?

 

Presidents who had no prior political experience (state governor or US senate or house)

 

George Washington - Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army

Ulysses S. Grant - Commanding General of Union Army

William Howard Taft - Secretary of War under Theodore Roosevelt (no military experience)

Herbert Hoover - Secretary of Commerce under Warren G Harding and Calvin Coolidge (no military experience)

Dwight Eisenhower - Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe

 

Odds of a presidential candidate without prior military or US political experience or cabinet = very low (0 of 44) = 0%

Odds of a presidential candidate as cabinet member with no prior military experience = also low (2 of 44) = 4.5%

Odds of a presidential candidate without prior US political experience = also low (3 of 44) = 6.8%

Odds of a presidential candidate without prior US military experience = low (11 of 44) = 25.0%

Odds of a presidential candidate who was vice-president = medium (14 of 44) = 31.8%

Odds of a presidential candidate who was a state governor = medium (17 of 44) = 38.6%

Odds of a presidential candidate who was US house or senate = high (34 of 44) = 72.7%

 

Presidents with no prior military experience:

John Adams

John Quincy Adams

Martin Van Buren

Grover Cleveland

Woodrow Wilson

Warren G. Harding

Calvin Coolidge

Hurbert Hoover

Franklin D Roosevelt

Bill Clinton

Barack Obama

Of course she wants them delayed. They're all do damning and by November people will have forgotten all about it. And if it's true what everyone one on Patriot radio on SiriusXM is saying, the high level people investigating can't even read some of the email because the classification is so high, that something like only 12 people in the world can read it.

Anyone that votes for her is just a complete idiot. Democrats should elect Bernie Sanders by such a high margin that the DNC would never again put someone like her on a podium. If I were a Democrat, I would absolutely vote for Sanders over every single candidate from any party. Shit, I'm a Republican and I might vote for the fucking guy.

 

He's about as authentic as they get, I'll give him credit there.  Except for several recent walk-backs now that he's actually competitive...  But that's chump change compared to Calculus Clinton.

Forget about his stance on gun rights and other issues for a minute.  I just can't get past the whole self proclaimed "Socialist" thing.

He is being honest about who he is and what he believes in.

I'll be voting for Gary Johnson or writing in Ron Paul/Andrew Napolitano no matter who is on the ballot come November, but...

I really hope it's Cruz vs Sanders. 2 candidates on the complete opposite spectrum both who are honest about who they are and do not waiver in their beliefs. If it's Cruz and Sanders we will know what direction the country will go in.

I think Obama is going to suggest the Justice a Department file charges against Hillary because he wants to be the political ruling family.

Not continue in the direction of the likes of Clintons and Bushs doing "favors" for special interest. And the lies, and people getting killed over bad intelligence.
