I know you can't look past Bernie and March primaries -- but who is in charge of the Trump swift boat project? Needs to be ready, funded and unleashed when we decide -- but not a half assed scramble.

The term swiftboating (also swift-boating or swift boating) is a pejorative American neologism used to describe an unfair or untrue political attack. The term is derived from the name of the organization "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" (SBVT, later the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth) because of their widely publicized—and later discredited—campaign against 2004 U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry.

Holy crap! The Clinton campaign was preparing an opposition file against her opponent? The nerve of them. This whole thing just reeks of competence.

Keep 'em coming. All this is doing is reinforcing my decision to support Clinton.

matt, a few weeks back, maybe a month or so, I asked you to come on over to this thread and give your opinion/insight on what was being posted here. If I remember correctly you said something to the affect that you didn't want to come here because most of the stuff being said about her in the leaks was mostly accurate, and knew already, however even though it was negative she was still a better choice then trump. I'm paraphrasing, it's hard for me to remember everything everyone post, but it was to that affect. You knew it was bad practice and made her look bad, but it wasn't enough to drop your support of her.
Now you're over here picking and choosing post that aren't so bad, in your opinion, and attempting to discredit the tremendous work that JC is doing. I just hope others aren't turned away from this thread because of your comments. That wouldn't be fare because there's a whole lot of excellent content here.

Yeah I don't know how I ended up catching up on this thread. But of the things that I've been reading for the last week or two, there is zero nefarious in these documents. And when I challenge something, I use information to challenge it. I think of it as a counter-argument. JC never posts an opposing viewpoint or a possible counter. So I'm going to provide the other side if I think whatever he/she is posting is either misleading or completely benign. Your memory is accurate though. That sounds like something I would say.

Probably the worst thing I've seen is Brazille giving a debate question to the Clinton team. Now it was about the death penalty so it's not like you wouldn't prepare for that in a Democratic debate, but it was wrong to do either way. Brazille had access to information she either should not had, or if she had access to it, not passed it on. I don't think it changed the primary by one vote but still wrong. If there's something worse, I either didn't see it or it didn't stick with me.

On page 16, in the graph beginning Many Americans feel a deep emotional connection...the paragraph is about Israel, but evokes how people feel about how Israel is treating the Palastinians. I think I'd cut or rework.

Someone wake me when something of note is posted... or when JC advocates for something positive.

More of what some of us have been saying all along...

While expressing his lack of surprise for any of the content revealed by leaked Hillary Clinton campaign emails, Bernie Sanders admitted that if his own campaign staff’s emails were to be hacked, they’d contain substantially unflattering messages about his former Democratic primary rival. “Trust me, if they went into our emails—I suppose which may happen, who knows—I’m sure there would be statements that would be less than flattering about, you know, the Clinton staff,” Sanders said Wednesday, dismissing the current leaks as unsurprising. “That’s what happens in campaigns.” Additionally, Sanders confessed he found it “amusing” that the emails proved what his camp had long claimed: “We said that the Clinton campaign was heavily influencing what the DNC was doing regarding debates, and that’s exactly what had been happening. None of that is a shock to me.”

Out of all that...thats what you should have highlighted (what i put in italics)

the system has always been a little tilted, but i think this year the word rigged may actually fit the narrative and it started with HRC having Sanders as a serious threat to the nomination unexpectedly...she will do whatever it takes to become president



You are assuming Hillary pulled the strings? Seems like people pulled strings for her if anything.

"This is a complete distraction," he said about the DNC's pivot to blaming Russia for WikiLeaks. "I hate that it is the Democrats now. We now have two parties of war. And now the Democrats are saber-rattling and building up a boogie-man in Putin, instead of what they should be doing, saying we both have a common enemy: ISIS. Let's join hands and work to defeat them. That's not what they're doing because it makes more political sense for the Democrats to ratchet it up, to ratchet up the Cold War, which is what they're doing now."

There is also speculation that real war will start with Russia before or soon after the "shocking" and "outrageous" leak which is expected sometime next week.

Ooooh...I hope it's just as shocking and outrageous as the last leak!!

Ha.. I'm sure we are going to war over a leaked email from a campaign.

I must admit this is some "quacky" stuff

Another question about this duck theme of yours... why does it matter to you so much (apparently)?
