Democratic Election 2016 - Hillary Clinton Megathread [OFFICIAL]

[Mormolyce]

its all rigged!

The Democrats rig the polls while the Republicans rig the ballots, so it all balances out.

Was this ever posted? Seems promising...

"According to a Florida poll: 28 percent of GOP early voters picked Clinton....The poll also showed Clinton ahead of Trump overall, 48 to 40 percent, with a larger lead, 55 to 37 percent, among those who said they already voted. "

It's already been posted. It will be all those Cuban-Americans Trump has pissed off with anti-Hispanic bigotry. They have long been in the republican camp but won't be this year and with them gone so does any chance of Trump being president.

Aren't they pissed that Obama is creating better relations with Cuba though?

Why would they be? Do they hate actual Cubans or something?

I'd be happy with a complete election do-over, barring both current candidates from running again.

It wouldn't change a whole lot. The GOP would still be incapable of producing a candidate the party can agree on, and the Democrats would still be able to produce someone unequivocally superior to whoever the GOP ends up selecting.

The only difference is that we'd get a weaker administration than a Clinton administration would be.

Some of the older Cubans still harbor a lot of resentment towards their home due to the conditions they lived in there and how the government treated people. They basically want nothing to do with them.

But we're decades later and times are changing. The "younger" generations though aren't taking the anti Hispanic rhetoric well and the older ones seem to be split.

They probably were a year ago. But Trump enabled hatred of anyone with brown skin is far more dangerous to them. They left one country led by an authoritarian strongman who crushed anyone he perceived as an enemy, seeing the potential for themselves to be targeted by another...... a heck of a lot of them will not vote for him.

They hate the Cuban government, which is why most of them are here in the first place.

They won't already be registered as republicans though which is what that poll is talking about. Currently registered republicans voting against Trump.

I don't know if this has been posted, but I just saw the interview with Bill Weld and it seems like he endorsed Hillary Clinton. I kinda feel bad for the Libertarian party, this was their big chance.

Not really. Their shit usually plunges near Election Day anyway + Johnson this year has shown he was just batshit crazy.

[Kallisto]

Maybe, but would be pissed more at Obama who is trying to better relations while knowing the Castros won't last another 5 years

or

The guy who essentially has evidence against him showing that he broke the embargo laws (which the older cuban americans like) and essentially meaning some of his money had to go into the pockets of the Castro regime.

It's also where most of this Trump upswing in recent weeks has come from. Hillary's support has been mostly stable while Johnson's support has plummeted (at a similar rate Trump's has gone up)

Sense folks say signs is what dictates candidate will win. I can announce that Garry Johnson has won WA with a landslide. Cannot go a block without seeing one... although, if that's the judge... I think my neighbor is either voting Obama or should have figured using glue to post a political poster with a short time span on you front house window, probebly was a bad idea.

Outside jokes, and if it was possible, I'd put money on Johnson going over 5% in Washington. Who else would do it, if not the serial killer capital of the world. We are nutty up here... I blame the rain... just makes me want to sta... I mean dance!

Transcript:

BRET BAIER: Breaking news tonight -- two separate sources with intimate knowledge of the FBI investigations into the Clinton emails and the Clinton Foundation tell Fox the following:

The investigation looking into possible pay-for-play interaction between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Foundation has been going on for more than a year. Led by the white collar crime division, public corruption branch of the criminal investigative division of the FBI.

The Clinton Foundation investigation is a, quote, "very high priority." Agents have interviewed and reinterviewed multiple people about the Foundation case, and even before the WikiLeaks dumps, agents say they have collected a great deal of evidence. Pressed on that, one sources said, quote, "a lot of it," and "there is an avalanche of new information coming every day."

Some of it from WikiLeaks, some of it from new emails. The agents are actively and aggressively pursuing this case. They will be going back to interview the same people again, some for the third time.

As a result of the limited immunity deals to top aides, including Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, the Justice Department had tentatively agreed that the FBI would destroy those laptops after a narrow review. We are told definitively that has not happened. Those devices are currently in the FBI field office here in Washington, D.C. and are being exploited.

The source points out that any immunity deal is null and void if any subject lied at any point in the investigation.

Meantime, the classified e-mail investigation is being run by the National Security division of the FBI. They are currently combing through former Democratic Congressman Anthony Wiener's laptop and have found e-mails that they believe came from Hillary Clinton's server that appear to be new, as in not duplicates.

Whether they contain classified material or not is not yet known. It will likely be known soon. All of this just as we move inside one week until election day.

[Wells]

We know there's been a Clinton Foundation investigation for a while now. Its largely based on the "Clinton Cash" book. No one is particularly worried.

[PACOX]

I don't know if this has been posted, but I just saw the interview with Bill Weld and it seems like he endorsed Hillary Clinton. I kinda feel bad for the Libertarian party, this was their big chance.

Nah. One of the problems with the current "3rd parties" is that they only seem to show up during presidential elections. They don't spend enough time trying to win local down ballot positions are actually educating about their party and its policies.

[Wells]

Anyway, discipline at the FBI has to be just fucked with all these leaks.

[Venant]

Well, Clinton is really popular among South Americans since they are so used to their presidents ending up in prison down there.

Alternatively, because Trump has made a campaign out of demonizing anyone with brown skin while pretending that he's totally not. Hence why white supremacist groups have coalesced around him in a way they haven't for any other candidate I can think of in recent history.

Also, one day you, "HILLARY FOR PRISON!" people will get over the fact that you're probably not getting your wish. One day. And even if it does happen, I'm alright with a Kaine presidency over Trump/Pence.

You sound terribly racist in assuming that 'brown people' have some sort of genetic propensity due to the color of their skin, to break laws.
