    A new substitute for sexual assault, first it was "infidelity" now its "relationship".

    Bob Schieffer:
    “How have we come to this? This is supposed to be a campaign for the most powerful office of the land. Here we’re marching in women into the hall who supposed to have some relationship with one of the candidate’s spouses. What’s that supposed to prove?”

    Abe Lincoln
    Putin Russia


    Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton’s campaign responded to the disclosure of excerpts of her paid speech transcripts by vaguely suggesting that the emails could have been doctored or manipulated in some way.

    But responding to a question tonight about one of the remarks she was said to have made, Clinton effectively confirmed its authenticity. Martha Raddatz asked Clinton about one of the quotes released by Wikileaks on Friday, that Clinton told a housing trade group that she maintains a “public and private position on certain issues.”

    First, Clinton asserted that she was simply discussing Abraham Lincoln, and how the Steven Spielberg movie about Lincoln showed how the tactic of deceiving the public about a policy position is sometimes “strategic.” She continued: “I was making the point that it is hard sometimes to get the Congress to do what you want to do and you have to keep working at it,” Clinton said.

    If she wants to clear that up, there’s an easy way to do it: release the full transcripts of the paid speeches.

    Moments later, she pivoted and attacked the source of the emails, suggesting that the emails were from the Russian government and that “we don’t even know it’s accurate information.”

    Interesting. I read the WikiLeaks with that Abe Lincoln story. The Abe Lincoln story is in the WikiLeaks.

    So is part of a WikiLeaked speech where she says this to Wall Street about her fiscal policy, praising the Simpson Bowles plan that the radicalized flanks of each party rejected, at the peril of our economy:
    1. We'll cut spending
    2. We'll increase revenue
    3. We'll incentivize job growth.
    Makes sense as an economic policy to me. What right wing Republican is against that? That's a Wikileaks I can get behind.

    There was another WikiLeak where she tells those good-for-nothing bankers that before the housing bubble even burst, she was speaking out against their practices and nobody listened. She hopes in the future they will hold themselves to a higher standard, that our democracy depends on their transparency and trustworthiness, that it's taken a long time to recover and that politicians should have done a better job with the American people in the beginning to explain what was happening. It was hardly a pandering moment. To me, it read like she was taking them to task.

    The last one I remember reading was that she wished she didn't have to fundraise obnoxious amounts, but she's not fool enough to lose a race because she's been outspent by an opponent under the Wild West of Citens Umited campaigning. Sounds like practical strategy to me.

    So, I've read enough today of what was leaked to see that there really is a whole lot of nothing, that as usual people are pulling crap out of context. No crimes committed, Clinton saying things to Wall Street I've heard her say in open air.

    My question is . . . If Julian Assange is so awesome at hacking, why can't he produce full speeches that reveal something more than a story about Abe Lincoln??? I keep hearing these Wikileaks are going to take down Clinton. So far, not. I like Clinton even more after reading them in their entirety.

    This was a missed opportunity and her team should be ashamed of themselves for not providing her with a better response to this question she knew might come up.
    In the moment my wife and I came up with the same response, and I was able to articulate it in real time... What she should have said was:
    Yes, I have public and private position on many issues. My private position is that of my own beliefs and convictions and my public position is the one that I am best able to determine is the will of the electorate. It is not my job as an elected representative to enact my own will in government, it is my job to enact the will of those whom I represent.
    Bam.
    Lost opportunity.


    The other big lost opportunity is when Trump says things like, "30 years, why didn't you get all that done already" and "why haven't you defeated ISIS", "I will beat ISIS so fast" and yada yada
    She needs to say flat out to the people:
    "Do not let Trump convince you that these issues are as simple as he makes them out to be." "Trump isn't the only smart person, believe it or not, and if geopolitics were as simple as he thinks they are, we wouldn't have any problems to begin with" and "One person in the Senate does not have the power to enact all of the laws and fix all of the problems in the way they see fit, in fact, the Constitution is designed to prevent that very thing from happening, which would essentially be a dictatorship."

    Couple questions
    Who said Assange is the hacker?
    Where are you hearing that this leaks will take down Clinton?
    Assange and wiki, the horses mouth never said that.

    Let me restate: If *the hackers* are so awesome, why can't they give Assange something more substantial to post?

    I can't even believe you've asked the second question. But to answer, spend an hour or two each morning watching Washington Today on C-Span. There's not a morning that goes by without a caller screaming about Hillary being a crook and the WikiLeaks proving it. Last night post debate, it was every other caller.

    There's not in New York, where Trump raped a 13 year old. Too bad the hearing isn't scheduled until 12/16. Hopefully they are able to move the date up.
    It's a civil suit, which I belive doen't have a statute of limitations. Criminal charges have a limit in most states.

    If the "Russian" hackers had the transcripts and turned them over to wiki I'm sure they would be released.
    Advice- don't rely too much on callers and pundits, that's entertainment.

    This is real simple, Scott couldn't have taken the opportunity to extend the registration due to an emergency. He decided to take the opposite approach, which made it more difficult for people to register, and subsequently vote. If Scott were truly concerned about encouraging citizens to exercise their right to vote, Florida would allow Same Day Registration on Election Day.

    You do know that campaigns and PACS hire their own polling companies, right? Look at the rest of their client lists which includes the DNSCC, governors, congressmen, special interest groups, etc. And they are a heavily Democratic polling company, with a few Republican sprinkled in. Priorities is even listed as a client on the marketing page. They aren't hiding it. No one does their own actual polling and analysis. That's what these companies do professionally. Geez. I'm not speaking to the weighting of the population and whether that is biased or not. I have no idea. But this connection alone is not nefarious.

    Add idiot to the list of names I've been called but it's kind of telling how you guys who continually insult those of us with differing views get all up in arms when presented with facts. What of my statement is not factual? You infer that I think all Bernie bros are losers too? That's on you. Glad I made you laugh.

    You do know that campaigns and PACS hire their own polling companies, right? Look at the rest of their client lists which includes the DNSCC, governors, congressmen, special interest groups, etc. And they are a heavily Democratic polling company, with a few Republican sprinkled in. Priorities is even listed as a client on the marketing page. They aren't hiding it. No one does their own actual polling and analysis. That's what these companies do professionally. Geez. I'm not speaking to the weighting of the population and whether that is biased or not. I have no idea. But this connection alone is not nefarious.
    I'm not saying they are hiding it or why aren't they disclosing it I'm saying which is a different issue I'm saying...
    If it's common knowledge that the polls reported by major networks and news publications use polling companies that are on the payroll of pacs and super pacs, then yes I'm uncommon, ignorant and very naive.
    Someone should start a poll on here asking that very question, I'm curious to the responses.

    I'm sure no one has given it a thought. But think about it. You are in charge of media buys for a super pac and you want to know where to spend a million bucks on a tv buy for your specialty issue.... Obamacare. You need research to find out which swing state has the most undecided on this issue, or perhaps where this is a very important issue so you can drive turnout. You won't have your own internal poll team, that's too expensive and not your expertise. You would hire a company to do it. And you would hire a company that specializes in political research. This is exactly what Kellyanne Conway's company does too, except it specializes in GOP issues.
