In the US, it costs money to run a political campaign because you have to travel the country to reach a wide audience, pay for staff, etc. People are still able to choose who they want, so it's still democratic.

This and states also charge to be on the ballot, I think Walker paid 40k to get on the ballot in SC. That money has to come directly from money raised directly by his campaign it can't be PAC money. So Walker had tons of PAC money; just not enough campaign money.

If you are not capable of organizing a campaign and a ground game then you are not capable of running this country. That is the very least you should be able to pull off. Walker screwed up and went big to early.

Trump at press conference just now: "If I become president I will send back all Syrian refugees!"

The crowd went wildT.

Slay, daddy

So back in 2011 Hillary was dead against changing "mother and father" in the State Department for "parent one and parent two" because she was afraid of Fox news and Palin.

Not only was she not defending the decision she disagreed with it. When exactly did Hillary evolve on gay marriage anyway?

Once again, Trump says something he totally didn't have to. I'm starting to wonder if he's going to be someone who is a slave to his constituency.

Never this blatant. I mean to meet with him the day before with a huge media event and I guess straight lie to his face? Really embarrassing. Not to be too hard on Obama since it's hard to predict a liar, but wow.

Right, I am trying to think of something, there are so many thing Putin has done to make this administration look like clowns. The red line debacle to me was more embarrassing because we were trapped in a corner and here comes Putin to save the day. Not to mention that event directly ties in to what Russia is doing now in Syria. Putin playing the long game.

Maybe the meeting was just a warning and Obama knew this would happen and realized he was powerless to stop it, and istrying to put up a united front? I just don't know. And honestly, I think US may just have to accept Russia is going to own Syria. I mean what is the US end goal in country? We can't depose Assad without war with Russia. Maybe once half the population leaves Assad will be nicer.

Hillary is currently at a fundraiser at Jay-Z's 40/40 club.

When the focus groups said it was a good way to become president.

Maybe she will collect the 100,000's of dollars he owes in back taxes?

Two people on the same set that should be in jail for breaking the law, should be a riveting interview.

It didn't have to be this way, that is the problem. One blunder after another. Now Putin is ordering us to remove or planes from the area, how is that in anyway going to make us look good if we do it?

I know you are right about our options now are practically nill, we are pretty much screwed. Putin is killing the people we were protecting and he is telling us to get out of Syria.

What a bunch of clowns. To think the House has spent millions of tax dollars on this. To think they've been investigating this longer than they did Pearl Harbor and Watergate (this has been the longest one Congressional investigation in HISTORY, btw). Everyone with a brain knew this was just for political interests.

That's right they fought to get the truth out, I know you don't see it that way but I don't expect it from you.

There were better ways to come after Hillary than to make up imaginary scenarios about her.

I love how McCarthy is just being dragged all over the place

I hope Hillary and Congress dems take this and wipe the floor with him/them.

BlueTimberwolf

I saw the interview of McCarthy he seems a bit too bumbling to be the speaker.
