The defections never made any sense. White nationalists seem to make up the majority of their base and the GOP needs them for their congressional elections.
That's kind of a poor account of what those Republicans did. They didn't "backtrack" or "defect," they simply said Trump should drop himself from the ticket. They never said they wouldn't vote for him if he stayed on.
It was basically, "Please remove yourself from the ticket so I don't have to vote for you." Gutless.
Clinton bashes Trump over Russia praise, but emails show she praised Putin
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016...sed-putin.html
I sat next to [Putin]. He’s an engaging and, you know, very interesting conversationalist,”
“In terms of interesting, Vladimir Putin is always interesting,” she said. “You’re never quite sure what he’s going to do or say next, and he’s always – he walks around with, you know, a redwood chip on his shoulder defending and promoting, you know, Mother Russia. So he and I have had our interesting moments.”
Oh my GOD THEY'RE PRACTICALLY MARRIED.
Where does Hillary say she supports Poutine as murderous, autocratic strongman and supports his policies?
Hillary's "interesting" isn't "supporting".
Clinton allies touted political boost from Wall Street taxes, fees
Hillary Clinton’s advisers tried to sell the idea of Wall Street transaction taxes and bank fees as useful to boosting the campaign amid the populist fervor among voters during the Democratic primaries, the latest batch of WikiLeaks e-mails shows.
In August 2015, well before Clinton rolled out her Wall Street regulation plan in October of that year, Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden sent Clinton an e-mail promoting a potential financial transaction tax.
"I'm wary of the growing economic populism on the center-left and I believe an FTT is the kind of bold proposal that both makes sense on policy grounds and achieves important political objectives,” Tanden said, according to an unverified message that WikiLeaks claims came from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s e-mail account.
Clinton and her rivals in the Democratic primary — Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley — ultimately backed variations of the idea. Clinton’s approach was relatively narrow -- a targeted tax aimed at combating “harmful” high-frequency trading. She also backed a separate “risk fee” on the biggest financial ins utions.
In February, the issue came up again in an e-mail exchange involving Tanden and former National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling.
Sperling said there might be “some real upside to going specific” on the risk fee. He said it would "lead to lots of estimates of how much it will cost the major banks that our fee focuses on."
"So with detail you could get discussion like will HRC's proposal mean [Goldman Sachs] and [JPMorgan Chase] owe $8 billion or $18 billion," Sperling added. "Worse things for us. Worth considering."
Revisiting a financial transaction tax proposal would also “clearly help” in the primary, he said, but “we may look like we are just copying Bernie."
In another window into the campaign's early moves around financial regulation, an e-mail from January 2015 describes former Rep. Barney Frank reaching out to ask if Clinton would engage on his namesake financial reform legislation, the 2010 Dodd-Frank law.
Frank's pitch followed an intense fight the month before over a Dodd-Frank rollback that was included in a year-end government funding bill.
"He made the obvious arguments, that it would be good for her and good for him as he is spending a lot of time making the case for why the GOP chipping away at it is such a travesty," Clinton aide Nick Merrill wrote.
Clinton responded with a tweet from her account: "Attacking financial reform is risky and wrong. Better for Congress to focus on jobs and wages for middle class families."

Clinton camp worried over carbon tax stance, hacked emails show
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager worried that supporting a carbon tax would be "lethal in the general" election, but proposed she avoid opposing one during her primary battle with Bernie Sanders, according to a batch of internal emails released Thursday by WikiLeaks.
Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon circulated a June 2015 POLITICO report that Sen. Charles Schumer said a deal on a bipartisan carbon tax would be achievable if Clinton wins the presidency. Fallon asked policy aides if the campaign would "go near such a proposal or can we nip this in the bud?"
Campaign manager Robby Mook replied that the best response was to avoid giving Sanders any opportunity for "contrast" with Clinton.
"I don't recall any polling to guide us, but I'd be a bit nervous about rushing to say we'd never support such a tax," Mook replied. "Bernie I assume DOES support such a tax and it could be fodder for him if we say unequivocally now that we don't support one.
"To be clear: it's lethal in the general, so I don't want to support one," he continued. "But don't want to give bernie contrast right now. So if there's a way to re-state principles and say she'll announce something in the next few weeks, that would be great."
While Clinton has promised to strengthen EPA's carbon regulations on power plants and vehicles, the question of whether she would specifically support a carbon tax proved tricky throughout the primary.
In April of this year, Clinton again declined to rule out pursuing a carbon tax during a debate with Sanders, but she was critical of his bill putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions. "I don’t take a back seat to your legislation that you’ve introduced that you haven’t been able to get passed," Clinton told Sanders. "I want to do what we can do to actually make progress in dealing with the crisis."
A carbon tax also was a point of contention this summer as Democrats assembled the party platform, which ultimately called for greenhouse gas emissions to be "priced." Clinton's campaign distanced her from that language, at the time, with a senior adviser calling it "not her language."

Clinton camp prepped email statement: ‘It’s all there and then some’
As the furor over Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server built last year, her top aides mulled a statement saying they were confident that she’d given “all” her work-related emails to the State Department, according to a hacked email published Thursday.
“We’ve turned over all of her work email, and taken the extraordinary step of asking the State Department to release them. When they do, which we hope to be soon, it will offer an unprecedented opportunity for the American people to see it for themselves, and we’re confident that it will be clear that it’s all there and then some,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill wrote in a March 20, 2015 email to Clinton lawyers David Kendall, communications adviser Philippe Reines and longtime aide and former State Department Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills.
Clinton’s public assurances that she’d turned over all her work-related messages have become one of the most contentious points in the email controversy. Republicans have challenged the process Clinton’s lawyers used to sift messages related to her work as secretary of state from those that were personal. The FBI wound up recovering thousands of messages from other sources and old computer equipment during their investigation. The State Department is still trying to determine how many of those are duplicates.
It appears some of Clinton’s messages were deleted from her BlackBerry when she was secretary. Others from a few months at the beginning of her service as secretary were apparently never archived. Still others may have been missorted during the review process. FBI Director James Comey has said Clinton’s lawyers did not read all the messages, but primarily relied on the addressees and subject lines.
It’s not clear whether the statement the aides were working on was ever released in that form. However, similar language appeared in a column Clinton backer Donna Brazile wrote about a week before the Merrill email, which apparently ended up in campaign chairman John Podesta’s email account. “According to sources, ‘Secretary Clinton is the only former secretary to turn hers over. People will be able to see for themselves that it's all there, and then some,” Brazile wrote.

Clinton camp wanted Obama admin. officials fired over HealthCare.gov failure
Hillary Clinton’s allies wanted high-profile Obama administration officials to be fired after the release of HealthCare.gov, according to new emails released by WikiLeaks on Thursday.
“I think it was a strategic error not to fire anyone in health care,” longtime Clinton advisor Neera Tanden wrote in an email to campaign chairman John Podesta on March 16, 2014.
“In real life people would have gotten fired.”
No high-level head rolled over the HealthCare.gov website mess, which was considered a huge embarrassment for President Barack Obama’s team of tech savants who revolutionized campaigning in the tech age.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius left the administration in April 2014, but that was months after the website was repaired and after the first Obamacare sign-up period hit its enrollment targets.
Tanden called out New Hampshire Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter for expressing particular discomfort with the decision.
“Carol Shea porter yelled at me about this for 10 min the other day,” she wrote. “…We are going to make public our call for a CEO.”
“I'm trying to be artful here bc of the WH Conference but I do think in real life people would have gotten fired a long time ago,” she wrote. “And not just people in the agency no one cares about.
Podesta, for his part, replied with a casual nod of approval. “Yup. Denis is going to call Howard.”
Two lower-level officials left the administration in late 2013, as the website was under repair. But neither were high profile names.
Tony Trenkle, the chief information officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, announced his retirement during the HealthCare.gov rollout. But administration officials said he was not forced out.
Mic e Snyder, who was the chief operating officer and No. 2 official at CMS, retired in late 2013.

Podesta to Clinton: Make peace with Richardson, even if he 'can be a '
John Podesta thought Hillary and Bill Clinton needed to make peace with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, even if he'd heard Hillary Clinton was upset that he'd tried to bury the hatchet, according to hacked emails released by WikiLeaks.
“I had heard that you were upset that I encouraged a call between [Bill Clinton] and Richardson to bury the hatchet,” Podesta wrote to Hillary Clinton in August, 2015.
In the email, Podesta encourages Clinton to call Richardson and ask for an endorsement. That would mean putting aside a beef from the 2008 Democratic primary when Richardson, despite having served as Energy Secretary and Ambassador to the United Nations for Bill Clinton, endorsed Barack Obama. (It was a senator he saw “something special in,” Richardson said.)
The Clintons were reportedly furious, and at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, Richardson told ABC News that their feud was “permanent.”
Podesta, however, said he'd pushed for a detente at the behest of Jose Villarreal, Bill Clinton’s 1992 deputy campaign manager. And he said there might be merit in bringing Richardson back into the fold.
“I did that at the request of Jose Villarreal who pushed me and made the point that Richardson is still on TV a lot, especially on Univision and Telemundo and not withstanding the fact that he can be a , it was worth getting him in a good place,” he wrote. "Probably worth a quick call to ask him to stay stout and publicly endorse, but if it's too galling, don't bother."
It's unclear whether Clinton called, but Richardson's support for her candidacy became public two days after Podesta allegedly sent the email.
And now, Richardson's camp is working hard to ensure that the hacked emails — and the revelation that Podesta said he can be "a " — doesn't bother him.
Before POLITICO reached out about writing an article on the email, Richardson's team emailed this statement:
"I strongly support Hillary Clinton for President. I do not care about any characterization of me made in an email. I have worked with John Podesta for many years and am neither concerned nor unhappy about this email repartee. I fully respect John and recognize the difficult job he has. I say this as someone who is neither seeking nor expecting any appointment or role in a Clinton White House, as evidenced by the emails."

Tanden saw Glass-Steagall fight as a loser for Clinton
As the Democratic primary campaign was just heating up, a longtime adviser to Hillary Clinton admitted she was at a loss to explain how the former Secretary of State would best Sen. Bernie Sanders in a debate over dismantling banks, according to the latest batch of WikiLeaks emails.
In an unverified July 18, 2015, email, Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden appears to flag for campaign chairman John Podesta comments the Vermont senator had made about the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking.
A day earlier, Sanders had made clear that he supported a proposal from Sen. Elizabeth Warren that would bring back the Depression-era law, which former President Bill Clinton helped repeal.
"I really don't know how she wins this point in the debate," Tanden said. "And he will clearly hit her and hit her hard. Has someone polled this issue. Is it actually unpopular?"
"People don't get it so it's not like sending people to jail, which people really love," Podesta said in response.
"They will get it once the two of them have fought over it in a debate. And Warren will be the water diviner on that dispute," Tanden then said.
Clinton navigated the Democratic primaries without endorsing a reinstatement of Glass-Steagall.
A separate email released Thursday further illustrates Warren's interactions with the Clinton campaign. A January 2015 email from Clinton aide Dan Schwerin describes outreach from Warren aide Dan Geldon, who was trying to clarify the intent of a speech his boss had made.
At issue was a Wall Street Journal story that described the speech as "loaded with not-terribly-veiled references to Hillary Clinton and attacks on Bill Clinton’s record as president." Clinton backer Lynn Forester de Rothschild had flagged the story for the campaign, saying, "We need to craft the economic message for Hillary so that Warren's common inaccurate conclusions are addressed."
But Schwerin said Geldon had already tried to clarify the meaning of the speech, saying the WSJ's write-up was "extraordinarily aggressive" and took liberties with the interpretation.
'Apologies are like her Achilles heel' top adviser said about Clinton
A longtime adviser to Hillary Clinton said “apologies are like her Achilles heel” in emails hacked from Clinton campaign chair John Podesta and released by WikiLeaks.
“Everyone wants her to apologize. And she should. Apologies are like her Achilles heel,” Neera Tanden said in a chain with Podesta originally unearthed by Vice News.
Earlier in the chain, Podesta complained about how the press was treating Clinton’s apology.
“No good deed goes unpunished. Press takeaway was the whine of but ‘she really didn't apologize to the American people,'" he said. “I am beginning to think Trump is on to something.”
Podesta and Tanden also discussed Clinton’s apparent struggle with a complete apology in a later email thread.
“This apology thing has become like a pathology,” Tanden wrote. “I can only imagine what's happening in the campaign.”
“Tell her to say it and move on, why get hung on this,” Podesta replied.
