The typical Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent is white, male, and middle-aged, often with a military background — in short, drawn from the segment of the U.S. population most likely to support GOP nominee Donald Trump.
That demographic reality explains much of the heat FBI Director James Comey is taking from his own work force at the moment for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and inquiries into the Clinton Foundation.
Quote:
Largely overlooked in the imbroglio is how the fact that the FBI doesn’t look much like America is complicating Comey’s effort to extricate himself and his agency from the political firestorm.
Quote:
According to numbers from August, 67 percent of FBI agents are white men. Fewer than 20 percent are women. The number of African-American agents hovers around 4.5%, with Asian Americans about the same and Latinos at about 6.5%.
If Trump were running in an electorate that looked like that, he’d win in a landslide.
“The bureau does tend to be more conservative than people you see in the general populace. It’s a natural outgrowth of the demographics….That’s just math, ” said retired agent Emmanuel Johnson, one of several African-American agents who sued the FBI for racial discrimination in the 1990s. “What’s troubling is you look at the same population groups they were having trouble [recruiting] 20, 30, 40 years ago and they’re having the same trouble today.”
Independents might help us with the Presidency (please), but like Auris said they like McCain more than your average Republican so he's going to be sitting pretty on his throne for another few years
McCain wins us over on the personal level, not just the policy level which makes him so powerful with independents and third party voters like me.
The Libertarian party VP candidate probably isn't voting for your ticket and just endorsed HRC. How are liberals running the worst campaign?
Sis he's had to refute this misinterpretation of his words so much since the liberals put up that headline I mean live in your own fantasy world. Liberals just had a candidate with so much controversy and failed to defend well against silly controversies yet because the Republicans had an even worse campaign and Gary Johnson doesn't know how to speak in public the liberals still won.

But he basically endorsed her again a few days ago.
I'll defend McCain's military history to my grave but his voting record in the Senate post 2008 is despicable. Even moreso him saying he'd refuse entry to a Supreme Court justice. He's become a partisan hack.

Wins you over on a personal level? You're electing the President of the United States and you care about a candidate winning you over on a personal level?
