Discussion: U.S. Election 2016: Primary Season - Page 2388

I am PRAYING we get a contested/brokered convention and Cruz becomes the Republican candidate, with Trump running independent. Dream scenario.

Either that, or I hope Trump gets it. It really is quite un-democratic that the one with the most votes could somehow be cheated out of his rightful spot..

What should be Hillary's priorities when she steps into office?

1. Immigration reform
2. Anti-discrimination reform (LGBT protections, equal pay for equal work)
3. Criminal Justice reform
4. Climate Change

Maybe these are better:

1. Explaining the private server and the 30k deleted emails before they were submitted.
2. Releasing the Goldman Sachs transcripts out in public.
3. Explaining why her donors include, anti-climate change companies such as the fuel industry.
4. Explaining the "Super predator" comment of her´s during her husbands wrongfully signed a law that changed the whole African American Community to this day.

But hey, Hillary do she wants to do. Kikiki

I´ll be watching everything from the distance.

Umm what?

She explained her email thing, multiple times. There's a difference of you not believing her but she already explained it. The FBI will release its own findings soon.

That's not a priority but she already said she'd release it if others do

Her donors don't include fossil fuel companies. That's against the law and she would have been in jail a while ago if true

She explained her comment, multiple times already (even in debates). Go look for them instead of trolling

Her homemade private email (which was also used by other secretary of states before her but not to such extent of 30k which was also hacked by a Romanian hacker so easily, god knows what happens if he just decided to sell those info to others.) has so much question to be answered yet her replies are muddle by either confusion or deceit.

It is a priority, if she was able to earn almost 25 million (more or less) from the Goldman Sachs employees after only some 30 (more or less) speeches then I´ll be darn at I´m curious what she told to them that earned her so much money. Remember the Goldman Sachs was able to scam and misled investors to bankruptcy yet was bailed for just half a billion during the collapse of the mortgage.

All told, the campaign to elect Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 has received more than $6.9 million from lobbyists, bundlers, and large donors connected to the fossil fuel industry.

Number of oil, gas and coal industry lobbyists that have made direct contributions to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign: 65

60 registered oil, coal and gas lobbyists have personally given $142,640 to the Clinton campaign.
Of those 60, 13 are bundlers.
13 lobbyists have bundled $2,502,740 in contributions to the Clinton campaign.
48 lobbyists have contributed the maximum allowed ($2,700).
This includes:

Lobbyists who have reported lobbying for the oil and gas industry – both in-house company lobbyists and hired lobbyists from “K-Street firms.”

Yes, it´s possible that the fuel industry can donate to her via Super Pacs, Bundlers and Lobbyist and perfectly legal.

Yeah, your right about the comment, but she needs to go something or else the destruction of the cornerstone of the Democratic Party will be destroyed. Like millions of young african-americans were jailed because of what her husband did yet no one thing she made an effort to overturn or influence that law.

Is that why until this week the Koch brothers have spent millions against Hillary Clinton?

Receipts?

Receipt #1

Quote:

Hedge fund managers and investors, together worth billions of dollars, are bankrolling a little-known super PAC that on Tuesday unleashed attack ads against Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

“Hundreds of thousands dead. Terrorists on the march,” the ad’s narrator says. “Where did it go wrong?”

The group, calling itself Future45, uses the television ad to paint Clinton as responsible for Islamic State’s rapid growth in Syria. It also slams her performance as secretary of state.

This is not its first time Future45 has launched an offensive against Clinton. In October, the super PAC ran ads blasting her for her foreign policy work in Libya.

Quote:

Those behind the group plan to “complement” work already done by Republican-backing billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, Future45 operatives told the Wall Street Journal.

Receipt #2

Quote:

Conservative superPACS have already poured more than $5 million into attacks on Clinton, according to the pro-transparency Sunlight Foundation. They include American Crossroads, guided by GOP consultant Karl Rove; Freedom Partners Action Fund, part of the Koch brothers network; and Keep the Promise I, a pro-Cruz superPAC. None of these groups supports Sanders.

The Koch Brothers have ALWAYS been against Hillary and spilled millions of dollars in attack ads against her. To say that they are secretly Hillary supporters would be so disingenuous and typical Hillary conspiracy fiction.

Only under those circumstances could I see Bernie running Independent and then consequently taking the whole thing

If Bernie can't beat Hillary now, he wouldn't be able to beat her in November on an independent run.

1) Economy (we need more jobs and better wages)
2) Education (debt relief for college students and more ways to get tuition aid)
3) Infrastructure (re invest in our roads and buildings, this would help with jobs)
4) Medical (expand access to affordable healthcare)

Bernie will continue to show that he has no idea what he's talking about and Hillary will go into plenty of detail about issue directly affecting voters of tomorrow's primaries (mostly Pennsylvanians). She'll probably even name drop a few local Democratic politicians that Bernie has never even heard of.
