[ApatheticAustrian]

if true: podesta is worth every cent.

[ApatheticAustrian]

just another pundit? worthless then.

[ApatheticAustrian]

i think this one is going to fly with trumpbart et al.: (about netanyahu)

[ApatheticAustrian]

the most annoying thing about those releases aren't the bombshells (there aren't any) but all those little human things, like taunting or cursing.....this destroys privacy in more ways than possible and some people really seem to think, they are entitled to hear about this.

wonder what gems the other campaigns have been sharing between themselves.....not only the trump campaign, even while that one would be a real killer.

[ApatheticAustrian]

cruz would never have worked with blue-collar-midwesterners.

jeb's name is his fate.

but kasich and rubio would have killed her, i guess.

[ApatheticAustrian]

well...maybe i am biased and yeah, rubio is an abortion extremist but to tell the truth: he got the looks, he got the story, he is telegentic and he seems likeable....while not even his fans would want to drink a beer (i hate myself right now) with cruz.

[ApatheticAustrian]

they don't need to find anything.

all they need to know about hillary is either known or getting published by WL right now.

[ApatheticAustrian]

hm....interesting approach, uti.

they wouldn't win anything with helping russia hater cruz or rubio against hillary.....i agree.

[ApatheticAustrian]

smoking gun!!!!!!!!


Donna Brazile was Clinton mole who tipped off Clinton campaign about Sanders planned Twitter storm

[ApatheticAustrian]

just underlines how WL is misjudging the american electorate.

but mostly i guess they only want to disenfranchise bernie bros.

[ApatheticAustrian]

i can't endure how they could be so partisan...not even trying to publish stuff about trump.

without them, there wouldn't be anything to talk about clinton besides winning at all.

[ApatheticAustrian]

and even this nothingbuger wasn't even a secret.....


Brent Budowsky: Why Dems pray for a Trump or Cruz win <-- january, 26th. 2016.

[ApatheticAustrian]

nah, she is a good organizer/bureaucrat....and a moderate pragmatist, which today is often negatively described as a technocrat.

obama on the other hand is a great politican.....but a bad background dealer.

a really good politician is able to make you see him in your own way....and like that you are able to survive scandals which would kill others. bill clinton has done worse than anthony weiner without any question but wiener's career is over and clinton is still a hero for millions.

on the other side: after all the chaos the electorate will settle for boring over anarchy this time i guess and clinton is the boring candidate par excellence.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the republicans don't need a plant to reject libertarianism. the social conservatives and the national security types can handle that themselves.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Why were the Democrats worried then?

the republican base and the democratic base work quite differently

and if you think this memo is so important....guess what all good campaigns of this country (or every modern democracy) do all the time: judging the impact and skill of enemies. ^^

[ApatheticAustrian]

isn't it clear by now that the old obama and new clinton operation is a highly effective and hyper-micro-targeting monster which thinks about ANYTHING and includes all available data at all?

there is no risk too small that they wouldn't create a counter-strategy......

[ApatheticAustrian]

It sounds plausible until one realizes that it sounds strange Trump is willing to jeopardize his business brand just to help Hillary. He probably expected all his past scandals to be exposed at some point through media investigation. Why'd he embarrass himself in front of half of the electorate just to help a friend? His ego is too big for that.

if trump is a plant then only in the way that maybe the clintons...directly or indirectly....motivated him to go on with his own plan.

how important that has been for his decisionmaking can't be concluded and isn't important at all on the long run.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the whole reason hillary is so vulnerable is connected to the fact that the russians have their own horse in this race.

without the hack, the leaks and the constant hammering of distracting noise hillary would be the solid candidate against mister anarchy.

[ApatheticAustrian]

lawyers planning schedules - call me shocked.

[ApatheticAustrian]

chris hayes described it the right way:

we would be far more concerned about this illegal behaviour if people would have forced their way into podesta's office and stole that data.

[ApatheticAustrian]

those leaks have nearly nothing at all to do with clinton's server.

[ApatheticAustrian]

@dwarven.....bernie is old enough, to see the bigger picture and realize that all what he stands for is in danger if someone like trump wins.

and since in fact hillary got more votes - fair and square, no deal at all, thanks black voters - nominating him would be a coup.

[ApatheticAustrian]

not only that.....hillary moved on a number of issues and he was able to change the platform.

"sturm and drang" is something for young people.

[ApatheticAustrian]

two hours too late.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Really? Point out where it says the term in what Podesta said. Is it in quotes as a term?

hello, lucky candidate...glad you could make it.

our simple and not very complicated question of this day is....

how would "should use it" make any sense, if miss rodham would be referring to hate 90% of the US population...you got two minutes.
