    Absolutely 100% correct.



    POTUS will always get clearance regardless. We all know this. But what it DOES do is set up a defense for future espionage cases. The standard for proving a case has become immeasurably harder to prove because of this entire debacle. The country is less safe because of it.


    I think Space Ghost was speaking about a potential 2020 re-election campaign for Hillary...i.e. the bat 1.00 comment. But that's so far off in the future, who knows?

    Why on earth would Bernie speak tonight on behalf of Hillary after she hired someone who conspired to ruin his campaign?

    Because he has a sense of doing what's best for the greater good. Regardless of what's happened, the party needs unity and needs to see that defeating Drumpf is more important than fighting over what happened.

    Don't get me wrong...what the DNC did was despicable and Bernie has the right to trash the party tonight should he choose. I don't think he will, though.

    WE DON"T HAVE TO VOTE FOR HILARY OR TRUMP

    and we shouldn't. No intelligent person should be able to rationalize voting for either of these horrible people.

    The greater good for him right here right now would be saying that he can't stand for the things Clinton is already doing to circumvent honest government not what he thinks Trump might be able to get away with.

    WTF is the party unifying around? It's a mess right now. It's gonna get worse, this isn't the end of the Clinton scandals. She thumbed her nose at the e-mail investigation sending Bill to talk to Lynch and with this latest scandal hiring Wasserman.

    For all the gloating from the Libs around here the past several months declaring the Republican party dead, I don't hear any of those folks talking about how screwed up the Dems are right now.

    Hillary leaves a trail of destruction everywhere she goes. As much as **** Trump gets, I fear the same with Hillary.

    All the education in the world and you still don't have a mind of your own... I guess intelligence isn't for sale.

    The Russia distraction angle being used here smells a lot like the video narrative shortly after the Benghazi attack. Same approach -- attempt to distract, create a parallel conversation that soaks up coverage, change the subject away from Democratic incompetence. Ben Rhodes likely at the center of both. Both are/were total lies. What disturbs me greatly is the Democrats' complete lack of integrity and ability to lie straight to the camera. Hillary does it daily -- a sign of a true sociopath -- and also why 70% of America believes her to be dishonest.

    GOOD DAY

    Well he's right. Minorities are terrified of Trump and have every right to be. Not sure why you say he doesn't have a mind of his own, saying minorities are scared of Trump doesn't take much thinking just maybe a minute or two of empathy and understanding of why that is.

    These people can't give a chance on "Well maybe it's just rhetoric..." or "He doesn't really mean it."

    Question to the Bernie supporters who see the system as "rigged" because of what the DNC did:

    Do you think it is easier to

    1) make the system less "rigged" by changing Democratic party rules to make it more fair for "non-establishment candidates" in future Democratic primaries

    or

    2) make the system less rigged by reversing laws made by GOP Congress, signed by Trump and approved by a Trump-appointed Supreme Court?

    It's one thing for DNC staffers to have biases, it's another to have the Voting Rights Act gutted. There is a substantial difference in the kinds of "rigged" systems out there.

    1) Bernie was an established candidate. Its the liberal arrogance that believes they know whats the best for everyone, even for liberal voters. This is obvious by forcing Hillary into the general election.

    If you want more fairness, do away with super delegates.

    2) Keeping Republicans out of office will not bring 'fairness' to the DNC. Just mentioning equality issues proves the DNC has some real issues.

    Here are the facts for you liberals. If you want to clean up your party, you dont start by electing them further. If Hillary wins, then Democrats know they can get away with anything. You're only entrenching the problem, not delaying. But good luck with that. Obama, who the rest of the world loves and adores, spent too much time kissing the rest of the worlds ass while his own country fell in disarray. Sounds a bit like what Bush did.

    To understand how deep this is, and how they are screwing both the RNC and DNC, go to 7:27. The whole conversation is interesting though.

    Oh look. Wikileaks doesn't like Trump either.

    But by all means, keep banging the Russia/Trump/Wikileaks conspiracy.

    Everyone knows that any time a Clinton gets caught doing something they shouldn't or their corruption is exposed it has to be a vast conspiracy of some kind.
