I,as a republican, would be excited, because that would be an easy victory.
This is why Hillary’s losing: The issue Jeb Bush and Donald Trump understand, which may keep Clinton from the White House
Her negatives are almost as bad as Trump's. She's not trusted, and losing swing states. Start talking about reform!
Government corruption is perhaps the central issue of the 2016 campaign because it’s the biggest problem facing our country. It’s the reason other problems never get solved. Corruption, not the chimera we call partisan gridlock, is what makes our government so inefficient and ineffectual and our politics so empty and vicious. It’s why an ever more cynical public has fled the civic life of the nation. It’s also why Democrats lose elections, though you wouldn’t know it to talk to one.
In his stupefyingly clueless opinion in Citizens United, Justice Anthony Kennedy distinguished between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ corruption. The former is mostly bribery and happens when any public official accepts any sort of personal payment for any official act. The latter occurs when the same guy deposits the money in a campaign account rather than his wallet and never admits the transaction’s true nature even to himself, or simply acts in the unspoken hope of future, unspecified reward. While citing no proof—there’s none to be found in the pleadings or anywhere else–Kennedy said soft corruption does no harm — and anyway no one cares about it. In real life it does the most harm of any form of corruption, and almost everyone cares deeply about it.
As I’ve written here before, the country agrees with Democrats on nearly every issue now under debate — and by margins often exceeding 60/40. The list includes not just progressive economic policies like a minimum wage and paid family leave, but climate change, gun safety, gay marriage, the lifting of the Cuban embargo, all of the president’s immigration reforms, every tax proposal and nearly every budget priority. We say we’re polarized, but on these big issues we’re as near to consensus as we ever get. Voters who agree with Democrats vote Republican because of their fury at the condition of their government. Democrats are the party of government. If the Democrats won’t fix the government, voters won’t let them near it.

normally, or when she tries to do a southern accent when she is speaking in the south? or all the time no matter what accent?
It would be less easy than Shillary. Joe Biden at least shows, albeit at a very superficial level, a likeable personality. That kind of pointless bull is what Americans care about. Biden is a classic example of that dumb-as-a-brick politician who wins because plumbers and construction workers look at him as someone they, "Wanna have a beer with!". Hilary Clinton gives the vibe of an elitist cunt.
Hilary's problem is that she doesn't have an authentic bone in her body. It's all passionless, cool, calculated scripted.
Hilarious that JEB, who has lived, grubbed, very well off his name, esp after leaving office, rails against corruption, soft or hard.
and Trump, born on 3rd base and congratulating himself that he has hit homer, is an honorable, honest man, championing the 99%?
all of these ty candidates.
Bill is the same way, the difference is Bill was a pro at appearing like he was an honest, passionate advocate for the working man. Hillary isn't nearly charismatic enough to hide the fact she's not athentic or passionless.Hilary's problem is that she doesn't have an authentic bone in her body.

Trump is anything but honorable or honest, but Americans equate stupidity and poor speaking skills with honor and honestly. Same reason people thought W was a blue collar rancher who cared about the middle class.
Bernie doesn't deserve ing, but all the rest do. iow, America is ed and un able, due to the 100% corruption of the politicians by BigCorp, 1%, capitalists.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Ohio Governor Kasich get the nomination if the GOP gets their act together. He can beat Hillary as he knows how to reach across the aisle.
HRC acknowledges white privilege and the existence of racism; the statement you highlighted underscores that. Not sure how you could be confused -- context matters.
wasn't (pre-rape) Bill Cosby, or Jesse Jackson, or some black leader, who made exactly the same comment, about be terrified that young black(s) was walking behind him?
Jesse Jackson, as I recall.
1994:
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/199...lack-communityPerhaps inadvertently, Jesse Jackson gave credence to the view in November when he observed at Operation PUSH in Chicago that "there is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps, and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see someone white, and feel relieved."
Two questions: 1. Can the fear she's referring to really be attributed to inherent racism, or is it maybe the real fact that the percentage of crimes committed by young black men far exceeds that of young white men?
2. If a white conservative had said the same thing as Hillary, wouldn't he or she be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail?
Just wondering.
1. You need some sources to back that up
2. If the context is the same then no
1. I don't suppose we could just accept that as a given, could we? I'm watching golf and not feeling like doing a whole lot of work on this topic.
2. I think they would at least be horsewhipped.
OK, I'm accused of a lot of things, but I don't want to be accused of being a lazy ass.
Population figures by race:
White alone, percent, 2013 .....................................77.7%
Black or African American alone, percent, 2013 ..........13.2%

Arrests by race 2012
...................Total................White..... .......Black..............Total %...........White..............Black
TOTAL...........9,390,473........6,502,919......2, 640,067........100.0...............69.3 %............28.1%

But if the total is higher for white men, shouldn't one be just as afraid of those?
No white conservative would ever admit to being afraid of a black person. They just want other conservatives to be afraid of them. And they wouldn't admit it either.2. If a white conservative had said the same thing as Hillary, wouldn't he or she be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail?
Just wondering.
What I gather from the data I provided, a black person is twice as likely to commit a crime as a white person. Am I right?
What kind of crime?
Should I be afraid of a black person holding a joint? I'm sure they are arrested for that.
Being afraid is up to the individual, but the FBI link I provided breaks the arrests down into their respective crimes.
Ultimately what is the breakdown here.
Out of 100 black people I see, how many should I fear and which ones?
Out of 100 white people I see, how many should I fear and which ones?
So I shouldn't fear anyone?
Help me out here. You're obviously telling me to fear blacks more, just tell me how much to fear each. Give me your formula.
I'm just telling you what the data shows. It's up to you to decide if there's a chance of you becoming a crime victim. If you think the chances are good, I suggest you apply for a Concealed Carry Permit from your local Sheriff's Dept. Research what type of firearm you would like to carry and purchase said firearm. Take a firearm safety course and a Concealed Carry course in your area.
Tell me which people fill you with the most fear. Then go in descending order from there.
