I keep looking at these 'scandalous' emails, but there's nothing there. No substance, just the inner workings of a political machine. It is starting sound like the boy who cried wolf.
But that isn't news to Clinton supporters... they tend to prefer an Orwellian society.

Lest we forget: two-year investigation, encompassing 33 hearings held in congressional investigations and four public hearings, at an estimated cost of $7 million and counting.
How long are you going to beat this drum before you realize you're just serving as a useful idiot for the RNC? They keep manufacturing this outrage, and you keep selling it. When you get down to it, there's nothing there but political theater.0 -

The excuses by the Clintonites are amazing. They apparently speak for Clinton. We haven't heard shit from that crook nor the White House, other then blaming Russia and bring up Trump's sorry ass. These sheep don't care that their queen is dodging and avoiding these hard facts. In fact when she went into hiding, avoiding the press for 9+months (and she's back at it again), they praised her and encouraged her for doing so.....WTF is wrong with these people!?!?! It's amazing the level of brainwash some of these folks have.
Instead they make excuses for her, excuse after excuse after excuse...rather then somehow someway trying to improve our country's. democracy. Why? Because they put a politician above our country. Dumb it down.
keep up the excellent work, JC..... You're doing the media's work.0 -
You're pretty predictable. You think you've got me figured out, I am not a part of the Republicans at all. The world is not black-and-white, not everyone is a part of the two-party system.CM189191 said:

Free, this thought just came to me and I'm curious to hear your response. Government members are still citizens of the United States, which means they have the right to partake in not just democracy, but also in capitalism. This is a blatant conflict of interest: just as Wall Street can not be relied upon to police itself and take moral and humanist stances over thoughts of its own bottom-line, Washington very clearly can not either. Speaking loudly about the corruption brings attention to this fact, but how do we mobilize citizens to have government return to speaking for the greatest collective quality of life, rather than the greatest collective dollars in their own pockets, without infringing on their constitutional rights to profiting personally? And without organized mobilization, what end do you see for spending such energy on drawing attention to corruption?Free said:

Haven't we been kind of talking about this Benjs? (You and me) how did money get into politics in the first place and allow elections to be bought? It Wasn't always like this.benjs said:

I can't speak for government, but from studying the media and media marketing for so long, I remember when it was a public service. The news was not owned, it was not a part of the capitalistic America that we have become. We got facts from our news, we saw caskets on the news from the wars. That's not allowed anymore.
To begin to answer where you're getting at, maybe start with how corporations became people. Have you seen the documentary "the corporation?" I saw it years ago but I should watch it again it's very informative. To add to that, from http://www.alternet.org/story/153201/the_fascinating_history_of_how_corporations_became_"people"_--_thanks_to_corrupt_courts_working_for_the_1At a 2010 conference, former Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida, put the potential impact of Citizens United in stark terms. “We’re now in a situation,” he told the crowd, “where a lobbyist can walk into my office…and say, ‘I’ve got five million dollars to spend, and I can spend it for you or against you. Which do you prefer?’”
To arrive at their ruling, the court’s conservative majority stretched the Orwellian legal concept known as “corporate personhood” to the limit, and gave faceless multinationals expansive rights to influence our elections under the auspices of the First Amendment.
I don't think we've spoken directly to whether the structure of America (being both democratic and capitalist) leads to inherent abuses of power, and that was my main point. Look at articles which speak to the current-day value of former Presidents' wealth: they are tremendous. I don't think the exploitation of this paradoxical idea (a capitalist democracy) is anything remotely novel.
As for news being a public service - who is actually inhibiting the news from being truthful? Without buying tickets from scalpers, the scalping industry ceases to exist. Without an audience of mentally lazy humans, the news for mentally lazy humans ceases to exist. Are we not at fault for this? Capitalism is at its core opportunist. We create free markets, we convince people they need our product or service, and they respond with their attention, and ultimately, their dollars. I don't blame opportunist entrepreneurs for adhering to core principles of capitalism: I blame the humans who choose to sit by idly and not question out of (insert human flaw here).

Hey Bernie, great to see you taking questions for the American people. Um, Free Dumb here, concerned American citizen, activist blogger, defender of truth, justice and the American way. I've got a couple of questions for you: Can you explain to the American people why you neglected to rally the majority of democratic governors, many of who are super delegates, to your side and why you chose to appeal to the average primary voter as opposed to running an inside campaign? You have since endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, is there any circumstance in which you would pull your endorsement of Hillary Clinton and make a public announcement to such effect? Do you believe there is a shadow government that resides on the 7th floor of the State Department building? Thank you.Free said:

(Yes, we haven't talked about that but we have talked about how to stop the corruption.)
But they pass citizens United without the people "allowing" it to happen, they didn't ask for anybody's approval when they did that. With the media, there are still people who believe that what we see in mainstream media is truthful. It hasn't been truthful and we haven't been getting the actual news since the 70s. These are behind closed door actions. subliminal advertising – advertising with flashes of another message incorporated at a fraction of a second, - is a tool to me to make the consumer feel a certain way or to buy a certain product without their knowing. It's manipulation. It's done without the consumer knowing. So to say all this privatization of a public service was done with us knowing about it isn't true. It's very deceptive. Many of the corporate loopholes are totally not done with our knowing. That's how we "allow it to happen".

You keep saying this like it means something. We're looking at one of the most vetted candidates in history. She's been under attack since essentially she helped impeach Nixon. I've seen the history, the accolades, the affairs, the emails, the investigations, the Town Halls, the Debates.

Lest we forget: two-year investigation, encompassing 33 hearings held in congressional investigations and four public hearings, at an estimated cost of $7 million and counting.
How long are you going to beat this drum before you realize you're just serving as a useful idiot for the RNC? They keep manufacturing this outrage, and you keep selling it. When you get down to it, there's nothing there but political theater.

Actually, you're the one who's being influenced judging from your post. You're clearly not on the side of the Republicans because you see them as the enemy so you're not going to question the Democratic nominee.CM189191 said:.

As an outsider of the two-party system, I have a more objective view and I question both parties, and both nominees. Something more Americans SHOULD do rather than blindly vote based on party lines and/or fear. Look at both candidates instead of automatically siding with one and not questioning both equally.
But it's your vote, so vote however you want to. Just don't tell me how I should vote.
Again, Do you not know how to question potential candidates for the presidency of your country? Do you not know how to look at ALL of them???Post edited by Free on0 -
Are you calling him Dumb?Halifax2TheMax said:
Hey Bernie, great to see you taking questions for the American people. Um, Free Dumb here, concerned American citizen, activist blogger, defender of truth, justice and the American way. I've got a couple of questions for you: Can you explain to the American people why you neglected to rally the majority of democratic governors, many of who are super delegates, to your side and why you chose to appeal to the average primary voter as opposed to running an inside campaign? You have since endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, is there any circumstance in which you would pull your endorsement of Hillary Clinton and make a public announcement to such effect? Do you believe there is a shadow government that resides on the 7th floor of the State Department building? Thank you.Free said:

You are an obsessionmy2hands said:Find a new hobby... you seem obsessed... I know we don't know each other, but I'm 100% serious
I cannot sleep
I am your possession
Unopened at your feet
There's no balance
No equality
Be still I will not accept defeat
I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest
You want to leave
Stay
Oh, there's no alternative
Your face appears again
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A circumstance
In your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems

A manufactured candidate built with polls and focus groups. She a widget!
I would like to loop Dan and Jake into drafting of likely policy initiatives for testing--they have already provided me some input, but I'd like to get them on calls with the team to drill down on this in more detail, since it's so important. I know that policy is still a nascent process and will be highly iterative, but I don't think it makes sense to do the polling in isolation from the policy work itself (since the research should be supporting and informing the policy development)
-Clinton team trying to determine what Hillary's policy positions should be based on polling.
My one thought from the conversation I participated in with Wendy is that her strength is in branding and marketing, using the evidence base in determining how to generate the behaviors sought in the target audience. So I think she has the capacity and creativity to drive the brand development and strategy from inception to execution. I imagine she would rely on the data that is being collected through the polling and focus groups you outline but equally as important, would likely have questions she might suggest specifically be included in the process.
It's like they're developing an advertisement campaign for a product, only the product is Hillary Clinton.
I would still assume our budget will be in the $2+ million range per my earlier memo
-They spent $2 Million on polling and focus groups to craft Hillary's public persona.
