    wonder how much affect this kind of insider news will have.. not that this wasn't obvious to many voters. https://theintercept.com/2016/07/22/dnc-staffers-mocked-the-bernie-sanders-campaign-leaked-emails-show/ "A NEW TROVE of internal Democratic National Committee emails, stretching back to April 2016, released by Wikileaks show that the organization’s senior staff chafed at Bernie Sanders’s continued presence in the presidential primary. Staffers were also irritated by criticism that they were biased towards Hillary Clinton."

    all the polls they're running still have bernie easily beating trump. bummer he couldn't overtake hillary. oh well. i think this election will be a crap shoot. there's some calculation that has hillary easily beating trump and another that has things neck and neck with one or two states making all the difference. if the voter outreach/mobilization for the dems is effective then hillary may steam roll trump but i just think there's more to this equation

    fingers crossed he doesn't win. but ya know.. anything is possible. GWbush "winning" twice.. the first time via the supreme court. if enough people vote for the green party and the libertarians it could skew the results somewhat. i've spoken to some conservatives who've basically said "i'm a person w/o a country" and they plan to stay home and not vote. if there's lot's of voter obstruction in a few states that could upend some things too. cheaters gonna cheat. it's all a shit show.

    old wine, new bottles. i guess nowadays you can even reboot speeches for the american public. besides, can we at least say it's clinton's fault? a lot of trump's slogans came from Reagan. "Make america great again" has been used 3 or 4 times i think over various elections/campaigns.

    bush getting put in office by the supreme court seemed pretty undemocratic to me.

    That's pretty much the way I see it. Some claim that Bernie hasn't conceded tho, despite his endorsement announcement yesterday. I'm sticking with Jill too, unless Bernie can prove he has a real chance of nomination. Trump talks tough but shits his diapers whenever he's forced to play defense. i think they said the same about ralph nader but that only brought us GW Bush and invasion of iraq etc etc. trump playing defense is pretty funny. he just tweets horseshit.. i guess it's all horseshit though when it comes to him. the clinton/trump debates.. should they even happen.. will be absurd.

    anyone but trump, yeah? bargaining. before endorsing her he insisted/negotiated to have some of his goals/ideas become part of the democratic platform. it's "stop trump" time really. but i think bernie would've been less cooperative with his support if hillary didn't play ball a little. it's lesser of two evils really and she's the "safer" gamble. trump would be a human brexit for the whole planet. I have serious doubts that Bernie's platform will be meaningfully incorporated into Hillary's. She might promise to do it, but she won't follow through. She gets too much corporate money for her to make corporations pay their fair share in taxes, for instance. And it's almost a certainty that she will support the TPP, despite her recent claims to the contrary. oh i agree. at most a bone and some scraps will be thrown from the table. i think this is a tipping point for come things. hard to imagine all the young voters who came out for bernie to forget whatever goes down this time around. the hillary machine scorns them then next go around she'll be in the cold just a wee bit more when the election comes around (should she pull off the win this time) and should she not win this time it's a big signal to get with the progressive mandates and get real about reform. hillary is status quo 90s big business politics. she might as well be pro-choice reagan but trump is napalm covered shit for the world. he's more corrupt than anyone since day one in his business life. really. everything he's done has been a swindle.. a scam. a manipulation of bankruptcy laws and contracts. he's a Berlusconi.. a Putin. there's no ideology there. no agenda other than personal gain and to me that's some how more dangerous than hillary's hawkish corporate fascism or whatever we're calling it.. neoliberalism or whatever. so, it comes down to a protest vote for jill stein or writing in bernie sanders at risk of just pushing it over the edge enough got trump to win. how many brexit voters voted 'leave' thinking it'd be just a protest vote?
