    This is almost a tl;dr even for me, but a pretty decent line-by-line from Hillary's press conference transcript.

    That is, if you don't think the Federalist is a right-wing smear rag. But there are some things that made me go "hm" in there, and the author's distrust of Hillary aside, there are some huge lies and contradictions in there that are easy to spot if you have the transcript.

    I would never vote for Warren, for obvious reasons.

    It was pretty difficult, I had to take lots of yoga classes. At least they were free with my healthcare though.

    I don't blame you. Can't imagine what the woman was thinking of, it makes no sense. I would think, for each person that is attracted to her minority status plea,
    she would offend three.

    It's early 2015. No one has any fucking clue who or what will be in play in late 2016.

    We have a clue she's Nixon 2.0. That won't change in the next 18 months.

    I always have to check myself when I agree with you Denny. But Yes, I do agree.

    She'll survive this easily. To paraphrase Chris Berman, "Nobody circles the wagons like the Democratic Party".

    Hey Max! What is your opinion on the Dollar strengthening? What does all this mean?

    Yep, very true. This was a smart play on her part to get HER massage out to HER believers to cloud the issue in its entirety, and by the time the elections do come around, she can get away with another "What does it matter anyway" moment.

    Will Rogers said in the 1930s, "I don't belong to an organized party. I'm a Democrat." After the 1968 convention fracas, Republicans ridiculed Democrats for many years, claiming to have won in 1968 because of how much freedom Democrats practiced in deciding their nominee. Democrats got the message, and by the 1980s, Democratic conventions were as predictable as Republican ones. That's why TV ratings have gone way down for the conventions.

    Meanwhile, Republicans increasingly depended upon the Make a Mountain out of a Molehill technique for manufacturing fake scandals. After being suckered in 1980, Democratic voters learned to ignore the mouthy blowhards.

    There's a difference between circling the wagons, vs. just ignoring you, which is all we do. Notice how you keep losing elections, despite dominating the media? Everyone's onto you, except the mass media, because you guys own it.

    End of thread, end of "scandal." There was no scandal when Bush did it much, much bigger, breaking the 1978 law.

    Nah, Jeb is on his way out, too. Though his emails aren't hiding quid pro quo for donations to his "charity."

    You must have just read the first paragraph of my excerpt, the one about Jeb covering it up. Paragraphs 2 and 3 say that other Republicans used separate personal e-mail accounts, too. Paragraphs 4 to 9 describe how George (not Jeb) Bush and his administration did it in monumental illegal scale, disappearing millions of messages (Hillary's quantity is tiny in comparison).

    The Bush administration people used the government email servers.
