Romney wins in a landslide -- Las Vegas oddsmaker doubles down on prediction - 0 views

  •  
    Yes, you read that headline correctly. I am a Las Vegas oddsmaker (and former Libertarian vice presidential candidate) and here's why I am so boldly predicting a Romney landslide.
  •  
    Regardless of your political ideology, this editorial has some pretty obvious bias that the author isn't really trying to hide. My favorite is where he implies that criminals and illegal immigrants decided the last election. "Voter rolls have been purged in 2012 of felons and illegals in many states -- particularly Florida and Ohio. Turnout of Democrats will be nothing like 2008.Which brings up another important question. What kind of political party relies on felons and people illegally in the country to win elections?"

Michelle Obama: The Clinton surrogate that could finish off Trump - 6 views

  •  
    "When they go low," Clinton says on the campaign trail, "We go high," her supporters shout back. In 2008 and 2012, President Barack Obama's campaign aides anointed Michelle Obama "The Closer." This year, Hillary Clinton may well designate her most popular surrogate the starter, the reliever and the pinch-hitter, too.
  •  
    The first lady, Michelle Obama has been known for her ability to persuade and has since been called "the closer" for her husbands previous campaigns. Just recently Mrs. Obama opened up with sexual assault cases against Trump, (not to her of course but past charges or claims). Thus being the second time this year alone that Michelle has connected with her audience and left her point clear with support.
  •  
    In her speeches you can tell she is very passionate about what she is saying. She is a democrat so many will say she's only taking Hillary's side because of that, but it goes deeper than that. She believes that Hillary winning will have people standing up against Trump and his bad comments towards women. She doesn't think that what he says is an okay thing for anyone to say, especially someone who might become our president.

Is Donald Trump A Threat To Democracy? - 2 views

  •  
    Even before he's sworn in, Donald Trump is putting his own stamp on the role of chief executive. That has some people rejoicing - and others worried about where he's going to take the country. Here's why some of Trump's critics say the president-elect could be a threat to democratic institutions and why others say those fears are overblown.

Senate Republicans rule out Garland confirmation in lame duck session - CNNPolitics.com - 3 views

  •  
    "Top Senate Republicans closed the door Tuesday to the possibility of confirming Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland in a post-election lame duck session -- even if Hillary Clinton wins the White House -- reiterating their long-held position that a new president should pick someone to fill the vacancy on the high court."
  •  
    On Wednesday, the liberal group MoveOn.Org is holding a Washington press conference with a group of Iowans who will say they are disappointed with Grassley's handling of the Garland nomination. Also, the Center for American Politics, a Democratic group, will release a report critical of Grassley's stewardship of the Judiciary Committee.

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump win big in New York - 3 views

  •  
    Their decisive wins usher in a new phase in the 2016 campaign. Both Trump and Clinton have fought bitterly for months to keep their rivals at bay, each slogging through primary contests that exposed vulnerabilities in their candidacies and campaigns.
  •  
    I don't know why but I don't think trump winning the race is a good idea
  •  
    I think Trump is doing a good job of getting his name out there and winning votes. I think it is very likely that he will win the nomination. I have no idea who will win the democratic

A new war over the 'woman card' - 0 views

shared by egessert on 27 Apr 16 - No Cached
  •  
    The Democratic and Republican presidential front-runners laid out a potential fault line in what would surely to be a heated general election clash after they both swept much closer to closing out their party nominations. Clinton relished a chance to lay into Trump in her victory speech in Philadelphia after winning four out of the five Northeastern primary contests.

Beneath Hillary Clinton's Super Tuesday Wins, Signs of Turnout Trouble - 1 views

  •  
    Hillary Clinton set out 10 months ago to inspire and energize the Democratic Party, hoping to bring together the rising American electorate of black, brown, young and female voters into a durable presidential coalition. But buried beneath Mrs. Clinton's wide-ranging and commanding victories on Tuesday night were troubling signs of a party that has not yet rallied to her call.

Here comes the opposition book: Clinton and her allies prepare for Trump - 5 views

  •  
    Hillary Clinton and her allies have begun preparing a playbook to defeat Donald Trump that will attempt to do what his Republican opponents couldn't: show that he's unfit to be commander in chief.
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    Clinton and her supporters are already finding a way to beat trump and attempt to do what most can't do
  •  
    However I find it interesting that Hillary, along with the mass multi media outlets, are already dismissing Bernie and pretending that his campaign is lifeless, when it's arguable that he's getting more people to attend his rallies, his poll scores are higher, and Hillary is also facing many accusations (coming from multiple different voices) that she's committed voter fraud, or that members of campaign are. Regardless, Sanders is just as relevant and still is capable of becoming the Democratic Nominee, and I think its fair to say that a debate between Sanders and Trump would be less of a circus than Trump next to almost any candidate.
  •  
    I find it interesting they are essentially coming up with a play by play book on how to defeat Donald Trump, this makes me wonder what Donald Trump is going to attempt to do to beat Hillary/counter her play book.
  •  
    I find it comical that Hillary and her campaign refuse to debate Sanders due to him being 'too harsh' or whatever they said, yet still think they could handle Trump's no-limit attacks. In comparison, Bernie has kept it completely PG and Trump will pull every card he knows possible to tear her down.

$182 million: Bernie Sanders equals Clinton - 3 views

shared by egessert on 22 Apr 16 - No Cached
  •  
    The Vermont senator began his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination last year with a sizable financial disadvantage compared to front-runner Hillary Clinton. By the end of last June, Sanders had raised just shy of $14 million for his campaign, less than a third of the $47.5 million Clinton had raised for hers.
  •  
    It's crazy how much he has raised. Considering most of his money just comes from average citizens like you and me, and not big corporations.
  •  
    she would have never got caught if she wasnt being stupid and tailgating. I bet if she wasnt tailgating she would have never got introuble in the first place!!!

Why Clinton isn't pushing Sanders to exit race - 0 views

  •  
    Clinton won't pressure the Vermont senator to leave. That reluctance is based on fear inside the Democratic establishment that such a move would make it more difficult to unite the party later this year.

Neil Gorsuch nomination: Senate faces nuclear showdown - CNNPolitics.com - 5 views

  •  
    "Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court faces a dramatic week as senators prepare to cast key votes that could splinter the chamber and lead to a divisive rule change imposed by Republicans to ensure they can confirm the judge by Friday."
  •  
    I don't believe filibustering will really do any good. They can't just filibuster until another justice dies or for years. It's really childish in a manner to just be doing it in order to have revenge over the Republicans.
  •  
    What is so bad about having a filibuster? Just let Democrats speak their mind and see what happens, they already waited a year and a half they can wait a little longer for a decision.

For Boston bombing victims, death penalty decision a 'step forward' - 0 views

  •  
    Federal prosecutors say they'll seek the death penalty against Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, arguing that he acted in "an especially heinous, cruel and depraved manner" and lacks remorse.
  •  
    Going along with the Republican/Democratic Ideologies, Left-winged folks will probably be less for a death penalty, while Right-winged folks will probably more support it. At least that's what our notes say. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Obamacare website developers: Time to point fingers? - 1 views

  •  
    Washington (CNN) -- Finger pointing over the technical blunders that gummed up the Obamacare website launch will ensue on Thursday, it appears. Contractors who helped develop the embattled HealthCare.gov website blame each other and the government, but not themselves, in testimony prepared for the first congressional hearing on the problems engulfing the online enrollment system.
  •  
    Obama care seems to be failing and no one is really in favor of this bill. Many democrats are not even supporting Obama care. And the website is a complete failure.
