The Clinton Thread II

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Man, if you read the politics section on Reddit it is nothing but absolute hatred for this woman. Almost every post is about her and the emails and why she is going to be indicted blah blah. They are almost always from sketchy sources too.

Reddit is made up of loner white male types. It doesn't represent the United States or the world population well at all.

That's why the animosity and conspiracy sources. For some young people, most of what they've heard about Hillary Clinton for the past 25 years has been crazy conspiracies.

This makes me curious, what ethnicity is the Hype made up of? I'll go first. I'm Chinese-American, with 1/8 Spaniard blood (my great-grandmother was Spanish).

They got swindled out of their college tuition. I'd be salty too.

Is it true that Hillary now supports a wall? I saw a Morning Joe from a couple of days ago where an Esquire reporter sent to the border towns came back reporting that people down there across the political spectrum were in favor of a wall. I believe the Hispanics there (that came through legally) were put out with having to compete with illegals for jobs.

You should check out /pol/ on 4chan. They make those guys look like Wasserman-Schultz.

I know people are against it for various reasons but Warren was really talking like a running mate on Maddow tonight. She more or less implied she would take the job if it's offered.

Yeah, the winds definitely blowing that way. Even Reid thinks she should be the VP.

Reid had initially been skeptical of the chatter around Warren, publicly warning that Democrats couldn’t afford to lose the seat the Massachusetts senator currently occupies. But The Boston Globe reported last week that he tasked attorney Marc Elias with studying how manageable the loss would be. Elias is, not coincidentally, the general counsel for Clinton’s campaign.

Democrats will lose a Senate seat if she takes the job and Clinton wins. They really want to do that?

Governor only fills the spot temporarily. Then it goes to a special election. I think there is a Kennedy that Reid wants to run to fill Warren's seat.

 

[souvlaki]

Given that its MA I'm not overly concerned. Reid found a loophole to cut off a good 3 months from the special election timeline so it will probably only be a Republican seat for a short period before the special election.

Democrats being sneaky and using loopholes?

What? I thought they were squeaky clean, by-the-book types.

Clinton will lose my vote if she chooses Warren....and she will lose a lot of Independent votes as well. I'll go with Gary Johnson if Warren is chosen....

 

[chaseter]

Warren has the Native American vote locked down.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Trump has the racist anti-Native American vote locked down.

Don't underestimate the power of low turnout elections even in Massachusetts

Or a poor candidate like Martha Coakley.

Chances are that Republicans will be more motivated to vote in a run off Senate race(assuming Hillary/Warren win), this would be there Scott Brown moment

 

[Thundercrack85]

Hillary / Warren seems like a bad idea to me. I just can't see America voting for two women.

 

[Victarion]

1. Warren has the Native American vote locked down.

Warren's Native American? She looks Caucasian to me. Anyway, that would push me more toward Johnson as well - Warren strikes me as too authoritarian.

 

[chaseter]

Warren claimed she was Native American and got called out. Google it for a fun read.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Granted this would never happen but what if Trump Named Hillary his VP pick and she did the same for him? It would confuse the entire country and be hilarious. And a 3rd party candidate still wouldn't win.

What's the point in appointing a rich fat cat to a position like this if he's got no experience? I don't see why he would want bragging rights since he's already doing pretty well, financially.

 

[Kelly]

What would be funny is if Trump wins, and he ends up the liberal that he had been for decades up until about 10 months ago....

She overrode the Pentagon’s reluctance to overthrow sovereign Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, and that 'they predicted the post-war outcome would be what it is, which is ISIS taking over the country.

WikiLeaks is preparing to publish more e-mails Hillary Clinton sent and received while US Secretary of State.

More of Clinton's dirty laundry is about to be aired. t:
