WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans appear to be suspicious of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s honesty, and even many Democrats are only lukewarm about her presidential candidacy, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

What a waste of prime grade A pussy.

LMFAO, Democrats worried Hillary will have no coattails:

This early in the campaign, however, forgoing a determined outreach effort to all 50 states, or even most of them, could mean missing out on the kind of spirited conversation that can be a unifying feature of a presidential election. And it could leave Mrs. Clinton, if she wins, with the same difficulties Mr. Obama has faced in governing with a Republican-controlled Congress.

=====

A good article on the reality of Hillary's campaign:


As the GOP race sorts out, and the front-runners achieve more public awareness, you're going to see our highly partisan electorate lock into much narrower margins.

Moreover, Clinton will have less room to improve her margins than whoever the Republican is. The Clintons have been around for a long time, which is a help in many ways -- great name recognition, a beloved politician who can campaign for her, the ability to promise that the boom times under her husband will come back if only we give her our vote. But it also means that the public's ideas about Clinton are pretty well fixed. A scandal can drive them down, but they are not going to suddenly soar as the public finds her surprisingly more likable than they expected.

When Democratic voters and pundits start to suspect that this race is not, in fact, going to be the easy walk they were expecting, they will probably start to look harder at alternatives. Realistically, so far what they've got is ... Martin O'Malley, whose signature achievement as governor was hashing his state's Obamacare exchange so thoroughly that it had to be scrapped and replaced -- along with his his hand-chosen successor, who lost to a Republican in a very blue state.

DETROIT — Hillary Clinton told a conference of fast food workers Sunday that she supported their push for a $15 minimum wage, saying “I want to be your champion.”
Appearing by phone at a meeting of 1,300 workers, Clinton voiced her most emphatic support yet for the nationwide Fight for $15 movement, which is also seeking to unionize fast food giants like McDonald’s.

Clinton also expressed broader, support for organized labor union and the right to bargain collectively.

“We need you out there fighting against those who would strip away Americans’ right to organize, to collectively bargain, to fair play,” Clinton told the crowd. “No man or woman who works hard to feed American families should have to be on food stamps to feed their own family.”

“All of you should not have to march in the streets to get a living wage, “ she added. “But thank you for marching….We need you out there.”

“I hope that every one of you will continue to raise your voice until we get all working Americans a better deal,” she said. “I want to be your champion. I want to fight with you every day.”

I’m surprised she didn’t say..

"And understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I'll will walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America. Because workers deserve to know that somebody is standing in their corner."

Nader: Hillary Tried to ‘Overcompensate’ for Gender with ‘Shocking’ Militarism “I think Hillary is not the Hillary of when she was 30 years old. She made peace with the power structure."

by Nicholas Ballasy June 7, 2015 - 1:52 pm

​

Former Green Party and independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader labeled 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a “deep corporatist and a deep militarist” who has made peace with the nation’s power structure.
“I think Hillary is not the Hillary of when she was 30 years old. She made peace with the power structure and she is a deep corporatist and a deep militarist. One can almost forgive the corporatism. She moved to New York with Bill because that’s where the power is and Wall Street but her militarism is absolutely shocking,” he said during a discussion about his new book, Return to Sender, which focuses on unanswered letters Nader wrote to U.S. presidents about an array of issues.



Nader cited the war in Libya during President Obama’s first term to support his position on Clinton.
“She almost singlehandedly did the Libyan war. The Defense Department was against it, [Secretary Robert] Gates, and she persuaded the White House that it was an easy topple without knowing that in a tribal society with nothing to replace it you would have a civil war, sectarian killings spilling into Africa, weapons everywhere, Mali, central Africa and she’s being accused of Benghazi – the big thing is the huge amount of geography that has been destabilized because of the Libyan overthrow,” he added.
Nader, who ran for president in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008, said Clinton “never met a weapons system she didn’t like” when she was a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“This is the problem of women trying to overcompensate in becoming more aggressive and macho so they are not accused of being soft on the need to kill and war, right? Instead of taking the tradition of women of peace, and turning into a muscular waging of peace of conflict and prevention, she [Clinton] did the reverse, and [Madeline] Albright did the reverse and Anne Marie Slaughter did the reverse and some of Obama’s advisers did the reverse,” he said. “We have to be transcendent on this. We have to really go right to the core of what people are standing for, fighting for and fighting against.”

[h=2]Clinton Donated $100K to New York Times Group the Same Year Paper Endorsed Her[/h]Publisher pushed hard for Clinton endorsement in 2008

A little-known private foundation controlled by Bill and Hillary Clinton donated $100,000 to the New York Times’ charitable fund in 2008, the same year the newspaper’s editorial page endorsed Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary, according to tax documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Clinton Family Foundation, a separate entity from the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, has been the family’s vehicle for personal charitable giving since 2001.
It is funded directly by the Clintons and distributes more than $1 million a year to civic and educational causes.
The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund is a charity affiliated with the newspaper that assists underprivileged New Yorkers. It is run by members of the New York Times Company’s board of directors and senior executives.
The Times’ editorial board endorsed Clinton against Democratic challengers John Edwards and Barack Obama on January 25, 2008, writing that she was “more qualified, right now, to be president.”
At the time, there were reports that the Times board had leaned toward endorsing Obama, but was overruled by then-chairman and publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr., whose family controlled the paper. Sulzberger’s cousins and Times Company directors, Lynn Dolnick and Michael Golden, chaired the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund in 2008.
The Clinton Family Foundation did not list the specific date the donation was made in its public tax disclosure forms. Neither the Times nor a representative of the Clintons responded by press time to a request for comment. Clinton ended her presidential campaign on June 7, 2008.
The CFF’s $100,000 contribution to the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund is larger than its typical donations.
Of the 47 organizations the CFF donated to in 2008, only six groups received more than $50,000. Most received between $2,000 and $25,000. The CFF has not donated to the Neediest Cases Fund since 2008.
The Times endorsement was controversial at the time because there was speculation about whether it was swayed by pressure from the Clintons.
In February 2008, the New Republic reported that the Times editorial board had had two contentious meetings that January before Sulzberger “tipped the scales in [Clinton’s] favor.”
Vanity Fair also reported that May that Sulzberger intervened in favor of Clinton after he was lobbied heavily by one of Clinton’s top financial backers.
“The Times editorial board was, apparently, planning to endorse Barack Obama in the New York primary; the Clinton campaign, getting wind of this, called upon one of its major financial supporters [Steven Rattner], the best friend and principal adviser of Arthur Sulzberger Jr.,” Michael Wolff wrote inVanity Fair.
“Rattner is thought to have petitioned Sulzberger, and Sulzberger thereupon overruled his editorial board, which then backed Clinton.”
Andrew Rosenthal, the New York Times editorial page editor, denied the Vanity Fair story at the time, calling it “completely false.”
The CFF’s largest contribution in 2008 was $1,000,000 to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation (then named the William J. Clinton Foundation). The donation made up nearly half of the $2.4 million the foundation dispersed that year.
The CFF’s donations to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation continued to dwarf its other distributions between 2009 and 2013. The Clintons gave their higher-profile foundation $352,000 in2011, $220,000 in 2012 and $300,000 in 2013.
Hillary Clinton served as the CFF’s treasurer during her tenure at the U.S. Department of State and listed it in her financial disclosures. The Washington Post reported in 2007 that Clinton had previously omitted her role at the foundation in her Senate disclosure forms.
The Clintons also contributed $35,000 to the Diane Blair archive at the University of Arkansas Special Collections between 2006 and 2011. The Free Beacon was briefly banned from the library last summer after reporting on documents from the Blair collection and others that shed light on Clinton’s legal defense of a child rapist.
The Blair papers were closed to the public during Clinton’s last presidential campaign. They were opened for the first time in 2010.
The CFF also contributed to the Dale Bumpers archive housed in the same library. The University of Arkansas Special Collections pulled Bumpers’ diary from the archive in March at the request of his family after Mother Jones reported on unflattering entries about the Clintons.
In addition, the CFF gave $207,000 between 2006 and 2013 to the Central Arkansas Library System, a public library which houses Bill Clinton’s papers from his time as Arkansas governor. Access to the collection is tightly restricted, and must be approved by the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

The Rubios have a need for speed / AP​

The New York Times Friday report that Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and his wife Jeanette have been cited 17 times for traffic violations was written after the citations were pulled by liberal opposition research firm American Bridge, according to Miami-Dade County court records.
Records show that each of the citations mentioned by the New York Times were pulled in person by American Bridge operatives on May 26, 2015.
Take for example the time Rubio was pulled over in 1997. “Mr. Rubio’s troubles behind the wheel predate his days in politics,” wrote the New York Times. “In 1997, when he was cited for careless driving by a Florida Highway Patrol officer, he was fined and took voluntary driving classes.”
A look at the docket for that infraction on Miami-Dade County’s website shows that American Bridge was in Miami to pull records on that case at 11:42 a.m. on May 26:

Neither of the reporters, Alan Rappeport and Steve Eder, appeared on the docket records for any of the traffic citations for Rubio and his wife. An additional researcher credited in the New York Times, Kitty Bennett, also does not appear on any of the court records.
The reporters, however, were praised by others in the newsroom for their “nice scoop.”

Lol. Amazing isn't it? 500,000 hit pieces on Clinton and Obama over the years....somehow these clowns have no problem with it....an article about these speed demons and they are outraged. Too funny.

You are shocked because it was uncovered while unconvering something that had nothing to do with politics. Yet you have no comeback for all the assertions on this thread alone concerning Hillary and Bill. Get real. Oh yes, Hillary has no tickets because she does not drive but her motorcades have been seen speeding. Why aren't you defending Hillary as more and more begin to connect? Forget it that would be a full time job.

Also note, Rubio is not denying any of this stuff and Hillary will not even address all the stuff around her. That is probably because anything she says can be used against her in a court of law.

[h=2]Citizens United Sues for Records Related to Hillary Clinton, Boko Haram[/h]Clinton declined to name Boko Haram as a terrorist group when she was secretary

The conservative group Citizens United has filed a lawsuit against the State Department to obtain records related to Hillary Clinton’s decision not to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group while she was secretary of state.
Clinton declined to name the Nigerian group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) during her tenure despite repeated calls by lawmakers and intelligence agencies. Sen. David Vitter (R., La.) has suggested that her decision might be linked to Gilbert Chagoury, a major Clinton Foundation donor and Nigerian construction magnate whose business interests in the country could have been affected by a FTO designation.
Vitter has requested email records from the State Department pertaining to Clinton, Boko Haram, and Chagoury, but has yet to receive a response. Now, Citizens United is suing the department for the same documents, the Washington Examiner reports:
More than 30 days have passed since Citizens United first filed the lawsuit without a response of any kind from the State Department.
David Bossie, president of Citizens United, said it was the first time he had seen the State Department completely ignore a case against it in federal court.
“These proceedings are important that both sides take them seriously,” Bossie said. “I have no idea what the judge will do, but I believe the judge will order a hearing to find out why the government did not respond.”
“Federal judges, I don’t think, look kindly on people who ignore the court’s workings,” he added.
Chagoury donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation and additionally pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative in 2009 through his company, the Chagoury Group. He is a longtime friend of the Clintons who also contributed nearly half a million dollars to a voter registration group that helped re-elect President Bill Clinton in 1996.

Chagoury was a close associate of the former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha and was accused of laundering money outside of the country into Swiss bank accounts. He repaid $66 million to the Nigerian government as part of a plea deal in 2000.

Boko Haram became a FTO in November 2013 after John Kerry became secretary of state.

[h=1]BERNIE’S NEAR-UPSET IN WI STRAW POLL MAY INDICATE BIG LABOR SOURING ON HILLARY BECAUSE OF OBAMATRADE WAFFLING[/h]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) nearly defeated Hillary Clinton in a straw poll at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention this weekend, and it could be a sign that Big Labor is still not ready for Hillary because of her waffling on Obamatrade.
Clinton failed to get a majority of the vote, reportedly garnering 49 percent of the vote while Sanders receiving 41 percent. According to Politico, Sanders received the support of 208 of 511 delegates; 252 delegates voted for Clinton.
Vice President Joe Biden and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who announced his candidacy last month, received three percent each. Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb reportedly received two percent of the vote while former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee got one percent.
Democrats have flocked to Sanders’s campaign events in Iowa and New Hampshire in recent weeks, and this weekend’s results may be a sign that Sanders is getting momentum with organized labor, which dominates such straw polls and has spent millions in recent years trying to defeat Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and his reforms.
Sanders, who has said the United States should be more like socialist European nations, is trying to win the support of left-wing Democrats who are yearning for
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

12%​

to run against Clinton. Warren, who finished second at last year’s straw poll, has repeatedly said she will not run. Sanders has railed against income inequality, billionaires, and the political establishment, which Clinton personifies, during his campaign. But he has specifically called out Clinton for not taking a stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, which Warren and Big Labor have fiercely opposed.“Hillary Clinton can be for the trade agreement — the president is. She can be against the trade agreement — I am,
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

is, many of us are. I just don’t know how you don’t have an opinion on this enormously important issue, which is her view,” Sanders said in New Hampshire after his campaign’s kickoff event late last month.Though Clinton campaign officials have said she is still deciding whether to support Obamatrade, Clinton, whose husband ushered in NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) once called the TPP the “gold standard in trade agreements.”
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who once said that Warren is the “prototype” of the type of candidate that Big Labor would want, recently said that Clinton will have to take a position on Obamatrade and predicted that “she won’t be able to go through a campaign without answering that and people will take it seriously and it will affect whether they vote for her or don’t vote for her.” Trumka also added last month that it was “conceivable” that Big Labor would not endorse a candidate and, in a reference to Clinton, blasted candidates who are too eager to hedge their bets.
“We call on all of America’s working men and women—Democrat and Republican, white collar, blue collar and no collar—to join us in supporting the candidate who can and will deliver on the American Promise. That is the standard. We will not settle for less,” Trumka recently said. “That also means no candidate can be all things to all people and still meet this standard. Standing with working people once in a while won’t work. Candidates can’t hedge bets any longer. “
Clinton, whom the left has never trusted because of her ties to Wall Street and cronyism, vote for the Iraq War, and husband’s politics of triangulation, has swerved to the left on a host of issues like income inequality, gay marriage, and amnesty to win the support of left-wing activists who shunned her in 2008 when then-Sen. Barack Obama defeated her for the party’s presidential nomination. This weekend, Clinton again courted Big Labor, calling for a $15 minimum wage, supporting the “Fight for 15 movement,” which is also seeking to unionize fast food companies like McDonald’s, and demanding more collective bargaining rights for workers.
But her trying to have it both ways on Obamatrade may be reminding Big Labor and left-wing activists why they never were enthusiastic about her candidacy in the first place and whether she actually stands for anything besides doing and saying whatever it takes to get elected.

Report: Hillary Motorcade Hit 95 mph on Way to Iowa Fundraiser


Wednesday, 20 May 2015 01:04 PM
By John Blosser




Hillary Clinton apparently is in one heck of a hurry to become president.

While fleeing from the press to an unannounced fundraiser in Waterloo, Iowa, Clinton's six-car motorcade, including her maroon minivan dubbed "Scooby," was clocked traveling at up to 95 mph by reporters giving chase, the Daily Mail reports.

The speed limit for that stretch of highway is 65 mph, The Daily Caller reported.

While Clinton's staff denies the motorcade was speeding, the Daily Mail posted a speedometer video taken by a reporter showing the speeds at which they were driving in an attempt to keep up with Clinton to find out where the candidate was going.

Rather than trolling and being an Alinskite can you refute any of the allegations in this thread. Hell no, why, because you are missing much more than a dot. Why would she be in such a hurry then and in no hurry at all to answer all of those same allegations. You don't get it and you never will. Keep on trolling loser (Alinsky back lol).

 

[vitterd]

Russ is so fucking stupid. Not answering anything is exactly what she should be doing right now. Once again a dem run campaign is miles ahead of you red state morons.....miles
