In 2008, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic presidential caucus in Iowa to then-Senator Barack Obama.
But many political observers believe it was the huge loss to Obama in New Hampshire when the wheels really flew off Clinton’s campaign.
And if a new poll is to be believed, Clinton isn’t just heading for another loss in New Hampshire — she could be facing the worst embarrassment of her political career.
According to a recent CNN/WMUR, Clinton’s campaign is again down big time in the Granite State, this time to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. The poll, released Tuesday, has likely Democratic voters leaning towards Sanders by a huge margin – 60% to 33%, or nearly 2-to-1.
In Iowa, during a four-stop swing through the state, Sanders also predicted a “very close” race with Clinton in the state’s lead-off caucus on Feb. 1, and a Sanders surprise win would be similar to Obama’s narrow victory in the Midwestern state in 2008.
“Today the inevitable candidate doesn’t look quite so inevitable as she did 8 1/2 months ago,” Sanders said during a town hall meeting on a frigid morning in Fort Dodge. He later told reporters that if he were in Clinton’s position, “I would be nervous.”
It was the latest volley in a Democratic race that has become increasingly heated in recent days as Sanders pushes to take over Clinton’s lead in Iowa.
Clinton’s overarching argument against Sanders is that nominating the Vermont senator would put the party at risk of losing to Republicans in November. But the recent poll of New Hampshire residents say that Democrat primary voters trust even the self-declared democratic socialist to handle the economy over Clinton, 57% to 33%.
These same voters also reportedly find Sanders much more trustworthy than Clinton, saying Clinton is clearly the most untrustworthy candidate in the Democratic field.

Bernie is no prize. However, he is many steps above Ms. Hillary. He talks about the working class. Hillary rarely does. I’m voting for Trump in November. However, as a Democrat I’m voting for Bernie in my state primary as a protest against Hillary’s hypocrite act.
Go for it. Trump is the man that can handle the economy and terrorism.
Noli, Trump is my man too. Let’s put him in our White House, I’m sure he’s very capable of making our country GREAT again. He will not cow tow to any other leader of another country especially Middle Eastern ones.
I cant believe anyone could trust Trump…He is only a showman and seems he hates everyone and knows more than anyone it seems to appear.. Think about it…You want to fight the next war here in American.??? If you do, think about how it will destroy what little we have left. I definitely think anyone would be better than this wanna be so called candidate
Sounds like you’re describing Hillary.
I agree!! If we don’t get some good leadership, out great country is gone!
AHHHH – so, NOW as an Obama supporter (which I assume you PROBABLY are) you have recognized that “as you say” WE HAVE VERY LITTLE LEFT NOW”! How do you suppose that happened? Maybe you should have also recognized that we are in this mess because of voters, like you, who decided years ago . . . to continue supporting all those career knucklehead politicians like Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and they like who believe it’s more important to be politically correct, more important to not insult any foreign dignitaries – even the ones who criticize and insult the USA which also includes the many others who really don’t give a damn about the USA but still have their hands out expecting those same nutty politicians you voted into office who will continue giving them aid with our hard earned tax dollars while neglecting the fact that they despise us! Its the misguided, ill informed nuts like you, Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, Jane Fonda and the rest who keep on voting these type knuckleheads into positions which allows them to continue with the destruction of this once great country! Sorry, but you need to wake up and understand we need a change . . . we need to jump off that same old band wagon and elect someone who is not a career politician! And most importantly, some one who does not have Socialist leanings after all this country is a Republic! Donald Trump is the one person that no one will be able to push around and when he stated that he will secure our borders, preserve and protect the US Constitution and the rights and safety of the American people – I believe he means it! Incidentally, all family members are life long Democrats BUT I am now a reformed nut case! I say – if you’re smart – you should join me and
restore your pride of being a true patriotic Yankee – Vote for Trump in 2016
You’re absolutely right!!
I’m with you on that.
THIS IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY BIG!
For those among the Democrats who continue to support Hillary, Sanders, or any other of their candidates, you are constantly validating my oft criticized comment that to do so is to affirm the statement: “Vote for the Democrats, it is easier than thinking.”
Wake up fool.. Get your head it of your ass
Sounds like you’re describing Hillary.
I pity you. I also am amazed at how ignorant of a person you truly are !!!!
Hillary would allow war here for sure..allowing anyone over our borders! Taking away from Americans more and more and of course stuffing her pockets..and how many more deaths due to her? how many more rapes? YEH we need to stay in the cess pool with THAT in the White House! TRUMP has class..believing the MSM only shows how brainwashed anyone is to believe Trump is a liar and echo everything the Democrats say of Trump! I prefer to use my brain and not echo anything anyone says..may be good to actualy FIND the hidden Democrat debates and actually hear what they say..the Republican Debates are out there for all to see..Trump is being attacked by all in the Republican Party..why? because he will not tolerate the corruption..Plain and Simple..they are afraid of him as well! BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEE A STRONG LEADER WHO STANDS FOR WE THE PEOPLE ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
To: F Steakley Jr
So, you’d rather adapt to a socialist (incompatible with the US Constitution) and hope he is better than a communist Obama (also incompatible with the US Constitution) than vote for a capitalist Trump?
You have not worked with high powered business CEOs have you? Their executive style may not be socially-comfortable to many Americans, but such leadership guarantees successful outcomes. Put aside personal and social comfort for a while so that a reversal of damages done by the past 10 presidents can be rectified by Trump.
You need to learn correct English! It should read America, NOT AMERICANS!
It sounds like you’ve only been listening to the establishment media’s sound-bites of him, which are clipped in a ways as to portray him as being absurd. I’d highly recommend that you listen to some of the un-edited interviews that are out there before making any final decisions. Plus, keep in mind that, if he were anything like the mainstream media tries to portray him, he NEVER would’ve gotten anywhere near where he has in business.
Where do you get your info about Trump? It is all wrong. You need to watch the videos of Trumps interviews on you tube and learn the truth. You will be pissed when you realize how much the media lies to us.
If a proven liar is what the dumbocrats want in a president, then by all means vote for her. They’ll get another four years of O’Bummer policies of unethical proportions. On the other hand, maybe they are afraid that Mr. Sanders
might make Mrs. Clinton look even more undesireable. Such is Pollyticken by the elite.
You people are so stupid. Bernie is an fool and is too old for the job and he is not a speaker, can you see him talking to a foreign minister waving his hands all over the place. He does a lot of hand gestures but do you really think he can deliver, There hasn’t been a president yet that could deliver on what they promise, they say there going to do this and that so voters will vote for them. But you are all stupid if you believe them. Maybe the only one that might be able to put this country back on track is Trump only he is not a speaker either.
RIGHT he’s a DOER !!
You know you have to register, as a Republican before you can vote that way. Its what ive heard anyways good luck voting. We need someone like Trump to get us out of the New World Order, crowd. Just hope Trump dose not do an Obama on us.
If Main Street says he will vote in the dem. primary he can. If he’s not already registered as a dem. he can do so now and vote in the dem. primary. To vote for Trump in the general election he doesn’t have to be registered with a party, just registered as a voter. In my state when you go to vote on primary election day the people at the polls ask if you want to vote in the Dem. or the Rep. primary. All that’s required to vote is a voter registration card and picture ID.
In Florida we have to in the primary vote for the party we are registered as so Republicans can only vote on the Republican Ticket and Dems on Dems ticket and Independent on their ticket. BUT for the General anyone can vote for anyone!
I remember when some southern states only had a democratic primary. So we all regestered that way. If you were Republican, you voted for the dem least likely to succeed and then when we got to the general, we voted Rep. All we could do was hope our real party gave us a viable canditate.
It depends on what state you live in. I live in Texas, you do not need to declare a party.
You sure the GOP has not changed that? they working on changing it in other states..even in Virginia they fixing it so if you change party over to Republican you have to sign a pledge you will vote Republican..To me that is forcing people not to be free to vote as they wish!
I wish Okla. was that way… I’m having to give up my votes in the county elections, in order to vote for Trump in the primary. (Around here, the Dem. primary is typically “the election” in county races…) I’m, actually, a hard-core Independent, with conservative leanings; but, to have any say in my county’s elections, I’m usually having to be registered as a Democrat. 🙁
Depends upon the state, but in Texas it is pretty much irrelevant which party you declare yourself as. In 2008 I voted in the democratic primary for Hillary over BHO and I was/am a registered republican.
THATS THE TICKET
I changed my party affiliation from Democrat to Republican last week. I can’t even think of the disastrous results of Hillary or Bernie as president.
GO TRUMP!!!!!!
You are right Dan. Trump is the only one that has come out and said what is wrong with this country! All the rest make all these promises that they know they can’t keep once they are elected. Then who suffers but the American people.
That’s because all the rest are professiional politicans !!
AND notice who all started to say to build a wall like Trump said right off? and others saying some things Trump says he will do? oh and Jeb trying to (following what the GOP told the candidates to do) be more assertive like Trump and argumentative? Sorry but it wears well on Trump..not Jeb!
WHY IS THE CLINTON BITCH NOT IN PRISON ????,BECAUSE THE USELESS ASSHOLE OBUMA IS PROTECTING HER ,SHE HAS A LOT OF DIRT ON HIM AND HE WANTS IT HUSHED UP ,IF SHE GOES TO PRISON THEN THE BITCH WOULD SQUEEL AND ALL OBUMA;S DIRT WOULD HIT THE FAN ,HE WANTS IT HUSHED UP ,BOTH OF THEM NEED TO BE IN PRISON ,HE IS AS CROOKED AS SHE IS ,THEY ARE PROTECTING ONE ANOTHER AND WANT TO KEEP IT ALL COVERED UP UNTIL HE LEAVES THE WHITEHOUSE ,THEN ALL THE SHIT HITS THE FAN !!!!
The problem here is she’s such a lying bitch who would believe her and more than that who would DO anything about it ????
Another fact I heard today is that obammy is buying a mansion in United Arab Emirates on the Persian Gulf where he can’t be deported from..why would he worry bout being deported back here.
I believe he’s really scared when Trump gets in the WH he’s gonna start an investigation into some of the really illegal crap obammy has pulled and he wants to make sure he’s safe and sound in Dubai where he’s buying this mansion. Another thing is, reportably, this place has a price tag in the upper HIGH millions…where did this little skinny fag get that kind of money ??
remember all that he kept asking for? his unlimited credit card? the HUGE debt we are going to be stuck with? Hillary is no better..the Foundation is their holding ground for all their money..(remember she said they were poor when they left the White House? BULL..they stashed it all! AND STILL STASHING!
My family is doing the same thing in the primary election! Only voting for Bernie as a vote against Hillary, but voting for Trump for President! Bernie isn’t evil like Hillary…but I don’t think he could handle a four year term health wise.
if TRUMP can make a PRIORITY to eliminate so called ISIS and TALIBAN or TERRORISM then I will support him, the only snag is that he creates friction in AMERICANS between CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS and SIKHS AND BLACK which is not a good sign of INTELLIGIENT LEADER
Neither of them are winners. People are finally starting to she how much of a phoney she is. With her poll number being down that far, watch she will abandon New Hampshire like a rock. I done with you people, bye. That is all she is about. Bernie talks, but you can’t cover up a socialist long, things start coming out of their mouths, that you know can’t be accomplished. Look at what we just went thru. I believe that a lot of Democrats will vote for trump, Polls are already showing that trend.
I’m gonna do exactly the same in Florida my man !!!!!!! Good job !!!!
HiTlery has repeatedly proven herself a succubus for the NWO, and would certainly be THEIR choice to have the presidency, as she wouldn’t hesitate to turn over as much American sovereignty to the UN as she could possibly manage w/o being tried for treason.
But she has other problems, i certainly hope; according to Title 18 of the US Code(that’s “Crimes and Criminal Procedure”), in section 2701, HiLIARly’s not only guilty of a felony, but upon conviction would forfeit any gov’t position she now holds, and be forever barred from taking any other position of public trust for the rest of her life – which, imo, would almost suit her right. i’d prefer she get a LOOOOOOONG jail sentence and fines roughly equivalent to every penny she got in both salary and benefits for the entirety of her career betraying Americans on TOP of being barred-for-life, which would be a way to ensure she lives in shame for the rest of her life – and is completely apropos to the shameful way she conducted herself while allegedly a public servant and Constitutionally-sworn employee.
But i encourage the gentle reader to not believe me; i DO encourage them to look at the statute she’s egregiously violated here:
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/USCODE-2011-title18/USCODE-2011-title18-partI-chap101-sec2071
BTW, i deliberately misspelled hillary twice.
Show me a president that isn’t guilty of something. The only difference is that they haven’t been caught yet by the media.
Media is controlled by them
@ Constitutionalist, well stated. I agree. i believe SHE & HUSBAND should go to jail for life. But SHE will not be punished in any fashion. Watch. PAYOLA – she got billions from foreign, enemy governments – enough to grease every dirty palm that reaches out to her dirty hand. Greedsters don’t care where the bribes are coming from – they are all crooks. Islam is built on bribes – historical record – check them out.
Thanks for understanding.
i think you may be right; it is an unfortunate reality that RealPolitik repeatedly demonstrates that there is no “Liberty and JUSTICE for All” in America, nor does “Equal Justice Under Law” apply for the well-connected or the toady/sycophant puppets for the extremely wealthy. Nevertheless, eventually justice will be done – though i’d prefer that justice be swiftly and surely administered in this world, it isn’t likely to happen. In the next, however, no one can deceive the Searcher of Mind and Heart.
i read a testimony of John Kotmair somewhat recently; he was jailed on trumped up misdemeanor charges when a well-connected politician came to visit the prison he was in; there was a Q&A session in which he asked this politician if he was aware of a particular law under Title 18, and he not only admitted that he knew, he freely confessed to his felonious guilt! The irony was(and is) that the innocent Kotmair stayed in jail while the guilty politician walked out, free to continue his depredations and betrayals of the public trust.
Why is a person being investigated for high Treason and a proven Incompetent many times allowed to be running for public office in the first place. Well OK the incompetence is prevalent in our politicians and the dishonesty but under investigation for Treason ? When is this country going to wake up to openly anti-Americans and people who vote to send aid to our enemies actually holding office in our government. The democrats party platform can be summarized by saying Vote for us we give away free benefits, bailouts aid and the middle class Americas tax money. I actually was in a democratic party meeting and was hearing how we need to find ways and push to get illegal aliens and non-citizens voting rights. They vote democratic. Yes they want to steal and con the idiots allowing it. The way to push it through is easy anyone that objects to being robbed call they racists. We can win the war against Conservatives just by labeling them racists and Christian fanatics.
AMEN!!! HILLARY for PRISON – 2016!!! (I’d settle for 2017…)
this bitch-witch should be in prison with her scumbag husband years ago. this country is so gullible in the leaders they elect.
You can’t fix stupidity.
Most folks are still so ignorant that they still believe that the NWO globalist agenda id just “conspiracy theory” bs, even with “Papa Bush” using NWO in speeches; and, PLENTY of information available to anyone who isn’t too lazy to research it…
I always KNEW there were a LOT of stupid people around; but, when I ran across Mark Dice’s youtube channel, I was still blown away by the sheer EXTENT of that stupidity!!!…
Oh I start my day at work saying this same thing indeed
my co workers are with my 100%
That is what happens when you vote the party instead of voting for the right person for the job.
The congressional or state leaders and powers that be are not gullible – payola has greased them in some form or another. That is why they tolerate O, Clintons, etc.
Are you that stupid that you think they are the only ones who should be in prison.
I’m no Sanders fan, but he is much preferable to that lying witch running for President…….in the end I would take Trump over a strong pronounced Socialist. Trump at least is definitely a Capitalist. And Capitalism is what this country’s roots is founded on. A strong Socialist movement would create such higher taxes that the middle class would definitely be strangled and small business’s would find it difficult to exist in the market place.
Sanders is an alternative to the dynasty of lies and deceit of Hillary. I’ll vote for Trump in November, but for Sanders in my state primary.
Can you really do that? I am a registered democrat but will be voting for Trump. In Ohio, I can vote Republican in the Primary, then I have to vote Republican in the General Election. They told me how I vote in the Primary will change my party. I will have to vote Republican later. Just curious, I know every state if probably different.
I will check on this. Don’t live in Ohio but would be really concerned about any policies that affect the way you HAVE to vote.
The “midle class” has been all but destroyed by all the “out-sourcing that’s gone on in recent decades. Pretty much what we have now is a “divide and conquer” agenda between the rich and the poor. Most of the latter having virtually no grasp of the fact that the well is pretty much running dry. We’re so close to the Cloward-Piven tipping point that I don’t know that we’re even going to have a (recognizable) country 4 years from now, if anyone other than Trump gets into the White House!.. That’s why the establishment “sheep-dogs” of BOTH parties are doing everything the can to try to smear him. I really do pray for protection for Trump and his loved ones (and, ask that others do likewise); since, unlike Perot, I don’t see Trump backing down in the face of threats. We’re dealing with some REALLY nasty scumbags, those are already tasting victory. His other defense is that there are enough folks now who are waking up that, IF they tried to JFK him, it could unmask them enough that they’d have a bigger mess on their hands than they could handle. Their knowing that wouldn’t keep them from making threats, though.
Good!
The sad thing about the Clinton situation is because of President Obama and his left wing appointees Hillary Clinton will never have to answer for what she did where others on both sides of the political isle have.Also if a chance came that she get convicted of anything President Obama as he did to others would pardon her in a heartbeat.
That would be his biggest mistake.
he needs to go out with the witch, they both are low rent pieces of shi*in a pair of shoes
Hillary took office and signed papers that have a clause in it that she cannot be pardoned if found guilty of not upholding her oath!
Nothing would please the GOP and its chances of succeeding more than having the old fool Sanders as the official nominee. In any case you have a choice between two stone cold Marxists. Surely we as a country are not that dumb.
You want to make a bet on that. They put Obama in there twice.
I still have MAJOR issues with electronic voting machines… I haven’t been able to verify it; but, I’ve heard numerous reports of some key precincts tallies coming in with results such as 110% of the number of registered voters for those precincts being cast for Obama. Also, a couple of interviews with some of the key software designers for the electronic voting machines, detailing how votes can be “flipped” at certain points. I’d like to see it required that there not only be paper back-ups; but, also, “receipts” that the voter can take home and keep, in case they’re needed. Even that wouldn’t make for a perfect system; but, I hear that some states have gone 100% electronic now. (At least there are still paper back-ups here in Okla.)
Hillary Clinton will never have to answer for any of her wrongdoings because of President Obama and his left wing appointees wont let that happen.That is justice in Obamas world free the crimminals and condem law enforcement.
Don’t make a bet on that. One way or another she will.
If she isn’t indited before Trump gets in, Obumfk can’t do anything about it… (Not sure what the statute of limitations is on some of the stuff; but, as far as I know, there’s no statute of limitations on treason – which is what she needs to be convicted of…)
Don’t put the evil witch in, she will turn out her flying monkey lose on us. Then she will run the country God and our forefathers made the greatest land in the world.
Is this the beginning of the end of this creature? After all these years of avoiding the consequences of her actions while sneering at us common folk, a humiliating loss to a communist would bring her down a few notches. And then if the FBI brings charges and she ends up in orange jumpsuits for the rest of her miserable life, OOH I’m getting all giggly inside.
Richard B – she is lower than a snake.
FBI already said they will not being charges against her…Someone paid them off I seems!
{BIG GRIN}
And, hopefully NOT in some “Camp Cupcake” type facility…
A DOG is a 1000 times better then the Lessie Hillary, who her and Obama were responsible for the killing of the people of Benghazi. Those other contractors were one mile away and they responded to the Seals and the United States did nothing and everyone was told to STAN DOWN, but those contractors put there life on the line being they were X Navy Seals that took a oath to fight and die for our Military.
What do think Obama did while persons were being beheaded and shown on national TV. Not a damn thing, and still today he is not wining the battle against them..
he isn’t even trying to win..throw a little pebble here and there to look like he is doing something? Oh Wait don’t forget he tells them ahead of time where we will bomb..so they have plenty of time to vacate the area! only one with balls right now is Putin! He looks at Obama as the biggest scrawny whimp!
Hillary and her husband should have jail cells side by side….They would make a great coupe in prison…
Hellery and Billy-boy are scumbnags and leftists and communists; a lot like obamma……..
Hillary Clinton is probably the best-know presidential candidate in U.S. history. How many major losses does it take for her to realize the Democrats don’t want her as their candidate?
If Bernie wins big in Iowa and New Hampshire, I look for Democrats to begin a draft Biden movement. I don’t think Joe Biden would be much of an improvement, but he would come without the baggage of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Republicans have a real opportunity to take the White House and a host of other races in a landslide this year thanks to the field of flawed Democrat candidates.
Every politician comes with baggage. You only hear about it when the media exposes them and then they say how sorry they are. Only thing is that the media hasn’t dug deep enough into Bernie Sanders baggage.
Justin W. Biden said he will not run. He has emotional upsets with the death of son due to cancer. It is devastating. He is not much better than anyone out there Republican or Democrat. What did he do during his tenure? Most Americans may not know his name as VP?
Put them in the same cell sammy and they
Would probably kill each other.
How can people be so ignorant to worship that POS and even think about her being President. God helps us.
The true definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. this is what would happen if a Democrat was to be elected again…. Please people, don’t stay home and bitch and moan, go out and vote, we have had enough of this country being destroyed.
Lets do away with both parties! Take all the money they have spent trying to get elected and spend it on education and feed and care for the people in need. We do not need the electoral college to elect the president either. We don’t have to be a Dem or Rep to know what is right for this country. LET THE PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY DECIDE who they want to lead. Enough of this finger pointing at the candidates on what they did or haven’t done in the past, the only thing that matters is how they intend to make this country great again!
Both Mr. and Mrs. Obama hate Hillary and she hates them too. However, just to get Obama’s support she was licking his shoes throughout the debate. Unlikeable book written by Edward Klein tells the whole story of their relationship. She is hoping he will go out and campaign for her if she becomes a candidate. In addition, she is also expecting him to provide Presidential pardon if she is indicted by FBI, which looks like certainty at this point.
Maybe just maybe people are waking up. Hell they’ve been asleep for the last 7years.The Queen is slowly being dethroned. With the latest super duper above Top Secret emails on her “private server” maybe she may get the appointment as court jester. Drunk Uncle Joe is already on deck with rumblings of running. I think behind closed doors they’ve been told there will be an indictment and Joe will be the DemonRats saving grace. Of course to save face Killary will drop out because of “Health Reasons”.
Alan – well said. But I hope there are no rigged elections to ensure OLD GRANNY PANTS a victory.
Constitutionalist, you’really smack dab right on the money, cause there’s no defense for ignorance.
Thanks, Ron.
i was beginning to think that no one was reading or understanding or picking up what i was putting down.
POOR BASTARD DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE. THE DEM. MACHINE IS
GOING TO DO TO BERNIE WHAT WAS DONE TO HILLARY IN ’08.
DO I SMELL A TRUMP..PALIN TICKET.
@ GEO – I hope it is Trump with someone else. Palin made John McCain lose. I like her but she is a risk factor. Cruz or Rubio may be stronger for a win.
TRUMP AND PALIN THE ONLY WINNERS IN 2016 FOR AMERICA
McCain made himself lose..had nothing to do with Palin..IF ANYTHING, She brought in most of the votes and crowds! I LOVED Palin but really hated McCain..he wasn’t any better than a talker and cow down no good doer! He still does!
Whoever he chooses as a running mate, it needs to be someone the globalists hate as badly as the hate him. That would take any of the other candidates off of the table, with the possible exception of Paul. Unfortunately, Rand lost a lot of my respect when he endorsed Romney over his dad; and, now, Ron is getting too old for the job.
“If the FBI is honest enough to indict her…they will of course be honest enough to hold her prosecution over until TRUMP is elected and sworn in to prevent obambam from setting her at our throats again.”
Hillary is not interested in the Country other than what the Country has to offer her. How could she even be considered when there are so many scandals out there about her. Hillary only wants to become president because of what she thinks it would afford her – one, being the first woman president, and two. her ability to influence companies nation-wide and overseas to donate more money to her not-for-profit agency. Watch this: If she becomes president, watch how much more money Bill gets for his speaking fees!!!! I am so tired of all the political scams and the fake politicians who espouse all the great things that they are “going” to do for the country… but when they get in… they establish an agenda for themselves! Why can’t we “FIRE” the president if after a year he or she is not performing well – after all, if you worked in the private sector and failed in your responsibilities your ass would be fired in a heart beat! Why, then, can’t we fire them – and, where is the president’s job description? Why can’t they have one like other employees? This would keep him or her from just flying around the country on the tax payer’s expense… if the president wanted to do something outside of his role, he or she would have to seek approval from Congress to do so! The president just runs wild with no true accountability – the system – the president’s role should be reviewed and changes made to keep him or her in line. I am just so sick and tired of a system that just does not work to serve the people – only to serve the politicians. No one ever questions how or why so many of the folk in Congress leave Congress as millionaires… I smell a rat!
@ Jimmy – I agree with you. But this is a reality check in the real world of business: corporations behave logically for their bottom line. If a CEO, sales rep, etc do not produce they get fired on the spot and the company find a better one from the thousand of resumes. Not so logical with this US government. Why? the government is playing with the citizen’s taxpayer dollars, not their own, so the leaders don’t care. I do not believe in gambling, therefore I will not waste my hard-earned money on the casinos. But, if a stranger gives me $100, I may go spend it in the casinos as it was not my hard-earned dollar – no skin off my back. Also, companies are smart enough to do all kinds of background checks: education/transcripts, drug activity records/criminal, birth certificates, citizenship status, income tax records, etc. Not required obviously for the US president role. This will bring the US downfall. I house divided against itself will not stand.
As a Canadian I am very nervous about the outcome of the US election. America is our primary trading partner and our economy relies heavily on the economic state of our southern partner. It is hard to understand that with so many grounded Americans that the Republican and Democrat Parties are left with only four choices ….. Trump (a danger to all that America believes in), Cruz (a radical Tea Party supporter), Clinton (a member of the old establishment that Americans need to change) and Sanders (a relative unknown). America (and the world) are sitting on the cusp ……… one false move could destroy the American way of life.
A Proud Canadian
It is really sad that we do not have any great leaders in the USA anymore!. You are absolutely right in worrying about destroying the America/Canadian relationship. Our political leaders only serve themselves and not people anymore.
a CC:
In RealPolitik, one understands that the extremely wealthy – aka the 1% – pick the president(and anyone else they want, really; ever notice the revolving door between corporate board members and the heads of various alphabet agencies?).
Tell me, Canadian Citizen, how many other political parties in America are you aware of other than democans or republicrats? i believe there are close to a dozen. Know why info about them is suppressed? At least 2 reasons come to mind: 1. the PTB don’t want Americans to have ANY opportunity to be influenced by anyone other than a democrat or a republican; after all, they don’t want the electorate to actually THINK much atall. 2. The Corporatocracy(a word i first became aware of via the author of “Confessions of an Economic Hitman) donates generously to both democrats and republicans, so much so that both parties should consider themselves wholly owned subsidiaries. Whichever of the two parties “wins,” nothing changes except that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Folks should apprise themselves of the info Bev Harris discovered @ blackboxvoting.org; short story? The electronic voting machines are easily hacked, and true results easily changed. Do yourselves a favor; visit her site, read up, get hip, demand accuracy in voting, watch the bastards like hawks. Few Americans, it seems, are aware of the following:
“Those who vote decide nothing; those who COUNT the votes decide everything.” ~Josef Stalin
Most voting Americans think their civic duty done when they pull the lever or use the touch-screen, and have no idea who counts the votes – nor, apparently, do they give a shit about either accuracy or accountability. This is why you see idiots like the Shrub(G. Bush junior) in office, and Constitutionally-unqualified ignoranumi like D’ohbama in office…the PTB wanted them there, fuck the Constitution or intelligent leadership. IOW, these 1%-ers wanted to show the world that they could first put a complete idiot and puppet-tool of Cheney in the highest political office in the land, then they could put someone in who is NOT QUALIFIED according to the Constitution, and dare anyone to do anything about it.
If you think that Trump is such a “danger,” my guess is that you have only been listening to media controlled sound-bite. Try listening to some of the really good, un-edited, full-length interviews he’s done, instead. I think you’ll come away with a different perspective of him.
Both Hillary and Debbie Wassermann Schulz could NOT give a single DIFFERENCE between Democrat and Socialist, the really funny thing about it was Chris (tingle down the leg) Matthews asked both of them the question!! I do not see how any adult raised in or around the 60’s could vote Demon Rat when they do not even bother to deny their real motives anymore!!
She needs to be knocked out of the race.
Hillary is done and should go to prison for compromising national security.
Are you really that stupid that you think she is really the only one that should be in jail.
you’re educated? it’s not the “Democratic” party, field, voters or any thing else .. please!!
Sanders is at best socialist, and worst communist – contrary to our constitution. He’s too old – no fresh or avante garde ideas to help the younger populations nor the older populations. Democrats/liberals in general tend to tell more lies than Republicans. Democrats/liberals in majority tend to be more hypocritical. He many not have as many skeletons in the closet as Hillary/Bill.
The media just hasn’t uncovered all the skeletons in his closet yet, but they will.
Comments are a dime a dozen and serious thought should be practiced before making one publicly! It takes more than a president, Senators,and Legislators to keep America brave and free it takes; also takes actions and behaviors from” we the people, of the people, and by the people” on a daily basis to protect the nature and business of the US of A to ensure it’s true viability. Our current politicians are bankrupt of integrity and service to make sure the Constitution is adhered to and defended, they need to come out of DC and remember what America stands for and lives by that makes it great and not use their position to self – serve themselves!
Emails: the elephant in the room is getting bigger by the second! How many “socialists” are that stupid! And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Wait for further climate changes!
Ok, here’s the thing. Betcha both Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Obama clubs did something really really bad that we don’t know about. They’re just going to covering all their lies, and for those people who are involved in the past. Every single one of them are evil and guilty as well.
The FBI and other states department are doing the same thing to protect Hillary’s lied. That is very wrong. They should all be in prison by now. They can not be trusted of any shape of forms. All are prove guilty.
I’m very disappointed of them and how they can walk away with it. It’s wrong.
I don’t want to see them or know them.
They hurt our American country. Why are they here? I’m so embarrassed by them.
Go Mr Donald Trump. He is our only hope for our American country and
American people. So, please vote for Mr Donald Trump. I’m here to vote for Mr Trump.
If you want to make our American country to turn around and change our American country to be great then it is time to get our act together and fight for our American country. We should not let George Washington down. He had fought for you, family and everyone who has been born here in U.S. of America. Let give Mr Donald Trump our support.
Let’s go for Mr Donald Trump.
I agree with what Pertty said everyone needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Donald Trump is the only president candidate that is his own man. He is not a politician puppet that can be pushed around. He has everybody running scared I don’t think Sarah Palin would be a good choice for running mate. I think that Mr. Trump should keep it in the family he has children that are cut from the same cloth that he is. I think he ought to work maybe toward even having one of his children run with him. Or when he becomes president to have some of his children on his staff. I have been a supporter for Mr. Trump for many years I wished that he wanted have run back in 2012. So I can say is keep up the good work Mr. Trump and keep giving them hell.
Well. Hillary sure looks good in orange. Just an observation.
Hi pretty,
I am with you 100%. Yes George Washington did fought for America country and American people who were born here in the US of America. We should never let him down.
This is very sad and it makes me so angry for what both Clinton and the Obama clubs to destroy our American country. They are evil and liars. Thev should be in prison now for breaking the U.S. of America.
Shame on them. We need to have Mr Donald Trump as our U.S. president of America. Go for Mr Donald Trump.
He is our only hope, please vote for Mr Donald Trump. He has listening our American people. Remember our great grandparents came here to US of America for better life. George Washington came here for us to be freedom.
I’ll vote for Mr Donald Trump. He will be better for our president of U.S. America. Go for Mr Donald Trump.
ABC-(Anybody but Clinton)
Hillary is a murderer, (Benghazi); crook. (Whitewater); lawbreaker(classified material on her own server. Additionally, she’s a liar. And the preceding are her good points. Let us no forget her humiliation of the victims of her rapist husband. Also, she masterminded a health care for her husband that was a total disaster. Next to her, Bernie, Donald and Al Capone look pretty good.
Are we being censored here just like on yahoo?
I suggest everyone to see the movie “13 Hour”, my view Obama, Clinton and the other cronies should be in prison for murder in the first degree, not saving or help these men who save our country daily are also being ignored, my next door neighbor child foot is dangling and they don;t want to pay her or schedule adequate surgery’s, WE NEED TRUMP NOW. …….
The word socialist is often used to demonize people that want to end big business control of our country. The wealthy pay a smaller percentage on their income than the middle class. Many large Corporations don’t pay any taxes. Trump wants to reduced taxes on the wealthy and large corporations. Is that a surprise that a wealthy man wants to reduce his taxes? If American people aren’t careful the wealthy class will turn America into a bankrupt 3rd world country. Also remember the Republicans want to end social security. Google why does the Republicans want to end social security. Vote for Bernie Sanders to take back our country from the wealthy.
Today, nearly all politicians are bought out/owned by the special interests and big money. The political establishment from both parties has betrayed their constituencies time and time again with broken promises and a continuation of the status quo.
However, for the first time since almost 3 decades ago this presidential election seems to be shaping up differently. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are not being bought out and they have vowed not to tow the status quo, of shredding the US Constitution, and the destruction of America as we are seeing.
Elect Bernie Sanders, an honest man. Perfect candidate? Not for me but as in most Presidential election I vote for the lesser oftwo evils. Sad you may say, but true. Bernie is a bit to socialist for me but I believe he’s sincere and honest. To me that say a lot. So I say, Feel the Berne (smile). Personally like the guy. Here’s another great poster. We could do worse (smile). I would actually, for a change, be proud of a President if Bernie is elected.
I really feel for you Americans. We have exactly the same problem here in Aus. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of people who are running this world and dictating the terms to who ever gets in power. For us here in Aus, America sneezes and we catch the cold. Our dollar $$ is still measured against your currency basically because we watch ‘Wall Street’. We ALL need a Saviour. Corruption is in ‘man’s’ realm, I’m looking forward to the next.
The difference between Bernie and Trump is that Trump wants to gain more money and power for the wealthy. Bernie wants to end the wealthy’s stranglehold on our country. It is very unlikely he can do all that he says but he will have the best interests of the average American in mind. And he will try to reduce the power of the rich elite so that every American can start getting the benefits of living in America. The rich don’t care if they turn our country into a 3rd world country. That would just give them more power to use the money they have. The wealthy steer our country into endless wars. Wars give them endless money making opportunities. Their children don’t usually have to fight in them. Vote for Bernie Sanders he is our best chance of taking control of our country away from the wealthy and large companies.
Look like Americans peoples are tired of the establishment this why almost %100 are ither for Thrump or Sander .I will never vote for a socialist
Many thank you to pretty. I agree with you. You are correct. We should not ever let down for George Washington.
Oh yeah, Hillary and Obama clubs will look great in their orange prison uniforms. That will be notice.
Anyway, I’m going to vote for Mr Donald Trump. I noticed that Mr Donald Trump is fighting for our American country and again. We need to give him our support. Let not let him down. We need to change our American country back to where is should be. Go for Mr Donald Trump.
He is our last chance to make our American country great and our children’s bright and future. Go Trump. I’m going to vote for Mr Donald Trump.
Let stand up for Mr Donald Trump and. American people and American country. Go Trump.
People need to listen to what pretty saying. I realized that how George Washington did came to U.S. of America country. He did fought for our American people and his American country. He still fought for our freedom. Remember, we forgot about our American Indians. The American country belongs to the American Indian. Its their land. We need to fights this American land and give them back to the indians. We should have share this with the American Indians. I’m half Cherokee Indian. They are still here and they are alway be here. Let not shut them off. I’m voting for Mr Donald Trump.
American people need to get their act together NOW. Go Trump.
Donald Trump has said that he’s going to lower taxes on the wealthy and the Corporations. The wealthy pay a smaller percentage of taxes than the middle class. Many Companies don’t pay any taxes. The happiest populations are Denmark and Switzerland. Both countries are considered Socialist countries (Google happiest populations). Socialism is not communism.
