Hillary never had crowds and the draw of so many people like Trump.
OMG! The self aggrandizing, the blatantly false statements. Klimmer IS Trump!
Just like when Trump pretended to be his own publicist. Now he's created this alter ego to promote himself on the taco.... Klimmer!!!11

Klimmer, you do understand that Hillary beat Bernie? It is votes that count, not big crowds.

Klimmer posted The Judicial Watch is requesting an investigation from the IG of the DOJ, and cited why. Yes they broke the law. AG Loretta Lynch needs to recuse herself.
They only broke the imaginary law that they always break. The one that keeps conspiracy theorists minds churning. It was a stupid thing for them to do both politically and to maintain the appearance of prosecutorial independence. The fact that Lynch immediately recused herself of any discretion in bringing forth charges puts the matter to rest from the standpoint of the case itself.

The Washington Post just did a long article on Doonesbury cartoons that predicted & mocked his presidential bid, starting 29 years ago.
The cartoons are remarkable for how well Trudeu foresaw what is now happening.
A mockery.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/06/23/how-doonesbury-predicted-donald-trumps-presidential-run-29-years-ago/?tid=hybrid_experimentrandom_1_na
IT’S EASY to forget that many of the headlines surrounding Donald Trump’s current campaign were strikingly foreshadowed. But a stroll down the past three decades of “Doonesbury” can read like a road map to the billionaire’s 2016 candidacy.
A Trump run for president? Check. “Doonesbury” first had that covered nearly 30 years ago.
Campaign references to Trump as sexual being? Double-check. The comic strip was dishing that satire back in the last millennium.
Trump University shenanigans? You betcha. Cartoonist Garry Trudeau was on the case more than a decade ago.
And Trudeau’s new book, “Yuge! 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump” (Andrews McMeel), which arrives in early July, shows the degree to which The Donald himself has been telling us for decades what was on his long horizon.
In some cases, the Pulitzer-winning “Doonesbury” was responding through humor to the headlines of that time. In other cases, the left-leaning Trudeau was plying sardonic hyperbole that doesn’t feel quite so exaggerated now, as reality outpaces cartoon fiction. And in all cases, the main takeaway seems to be: Love it or hate it, embrace it or berate it, we all should have seen this coming.

Trump, the establishment candidate
Everyone of his early proposals have been reversed into pure right wing Republican establishment, even Torture!
The hypocrisy at the heart of Trump’s campaign
Paul Manafort
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-hypocrisy-at-the-heart-of-trumps-campaign/2016/07/01/b8939d10-3f7f-11e6-80bc-d06711fd2125_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-f%3Ahomepage%2Fstory
Manafort’s inspiration, which Trump has embraced, is to portray Clinton as the embodiment of the establishment. But Manafort (not unlike Trump) has been the voice of the wealthy and the well-connected for four decades, building a fortune by making common cause with the world’s most avaricious.
Among Manafort’s boasts: representing kleptocrats Ferdinand Marcos, Mobutu Sese Seko and Kenya’s Daniel arap Moi, defending Saudi Arabia’s interests against Israel’s and Pakistan’s against India’s, and making the case for a Nigerian dictator, a Lebanese arms dealer and various and sundry Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs. He successfully lobbied to arm a Maoist rebel in Angola, needlessly extending fighting that killed thousands.
It’s Manafort’s right to represent dictators and thugs and regimes that torture. He has, for decades, helped autocrats who battle human rights and democracy. But now this man, who made his fortune helping the rich and powerful get more so, is setting up a general-election campaign that portrays Trump as a man of the people and Clinton as the captive of special interests.

Donini posted
People of faith believe all sorts of nonsensical garbage....reason and evidence have nothing to do with it. Rest assured, faith is next to impossible to rock with reasonable arguments. Faith is believing something for no good reason.
That is true in many ways, however I would add some nuance:
Most of humanity believes all sorts of nonsensical garbage, on the one hand,
while having religious faith does not exclude reason and evidence in one's daily life, on the other hand.
Most political campaigns spew nonsensical garbage and the hyper partisans of those campaigns exhibit religious like faith.

One dollar. I bet you one dollar I can get Hillary elected in a landslide AND gut the GOP.
Sucker bet, huh?
Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win in November at odds of 4-11, according to the online bookmaker Ladbrokes — meaning you’d have to wager $11 to win $4 5-5-2016

Fox News wants Hillary to win
They will make millions on Hate
The calls for impeachment will be non-stop!!!
poor souls, I already feel sorry for their displays of stupidity.
Street polls have found people that don't know why Hillary isn't in jail already!
These people will be in perpetual state of hate for their president, which will just create more extreme division between the parties.
Is there any way these people will come around and stop the Hillary hate?
and learn to respect her?
I hope so, but I really doubt it will happen.

Apparently it does (exclude reason) for elective processes.
To play Devil's advocate:
What if I was visualizing Hillary when I posted that religious faith does not exclude reason in one's daily life?
By admitting that, maybe I exhibited a belief in nonsensical garbage? ;-)

Why is it that the Republican presidential candidates are always portrayed as god - fearing , patriotic underdogs...? The mainstream media is having a tough time dressing Trump up for this role what with his potty mouth attacks on women and ridicule of handicapped Americans...Pure comedic genious...

Loop holes will be done away with I would imagine
And once the wily fox has outsmarted the House and Senate and passed comprehensive tax reform (something not done in decades) he will turn his negotiating smarts to the Middle East and craft a deal that will bring Peace on Earth.
And magical ponies for all the kids (and all the kids at heart).
