Well, I guess Untrustworthy, Lazy, Lying, Crooked Hillary! and her impeached alleged rapist grifter husband already secured millions in bribes from rogue nations, actors and other degenerates.

So they can take a few years off from their bribery scheme, they are still head of the game and those rogue nations, actors and other degenerates can get their payoffs.

I thought Bill Clinton would be right up your alley: not really conservative on anything, but hey, he's from the SOUTH and has a history of dog whistle racism!  Heck, he's probably to the right of John Kasich (who attended a gay wedding) but not quite to the right of Joe Manchin (Joe Manchin owns a gun).

I don't get it.  Isn't this a good thing?

It's better, but she should really shut down the foundation during her tenure as president. No matter what she does, if it remains operational, it is going to be used against her. I don't think she realizes that, or is downplaying it in her mind, as she tends to do with things that end up hurting her significantly (eg private email server)

I don't think it's fair to use the foundation as a beating stick while ignoring the good work it does, but regardless, keeping it open will only hurt her and tarnish the foundation's reputation further as it used in attack after attack while she is president.

She should at least turn it over to an independent board and rename it. Otherwise she is again potentially setting herself up for major problems down the road.

If it is a potential conflict of interest for a president, why is not also a potential conflict of interest for a major party nominee who is very likely to become president? Doesn't this read like a bit like a call to get your money in while you still can?

Rememeber when, back in 2012, this seriously? guy was one of the biggest poll unskewers in the forum? After election day, he wrote some half assed "I was sort of wrong" post and then dissapeared until february of this year Grin

I'm enjoying the near perfect inverse correlation between Trump's polling numbers and the vitriol level of Seriously's nonsensical attacks on Hillary Clinton each day.

Yeah, you missed 2014, but that's OK. As a blue avatar on that cycle, it was a glorious, glorious day. All you red avatars were running away with your head in the sand.

I was here for a week or two before the election in 2012, so I don't know what you are talking about.

It's OK though, attack the messenger when your candidate is the one that is flawed.

Can you stop looking for fights posting anti-Hillary news?
There. Fixed it for you.

Ummm. No.

The news is not always pro-Clinton, anti-Trump you know. God knows if Trump passes gas in public, we'll see a post on Atlas about it.

I have news for you even if she shuts it down it will still be used against her.  There was this little thing called Whitewater that was "shut down" in the mid 80s and a Republican attorney hounded the Clinton's about it till almost the year 2000.

Interesting that Republican lawyer is in the paper today...

If any high profile politician passes gas on an open mike we will hear about it.  It's Atlas.

Haha sh**t, you're right!  I always assumed he was just a 2016 hack, but a quick glance through the ~150 posts of his single week in 2012 was like reading a poor(er) man's Dean Chambers (who was already a poor man's Karl Rove).  Sad!

That... is... hilarious.

So this has all happened before?!  And he is doing the same routine again?  Why?  Why would someone do this to themselves?

Oh, 2012 was a mess as far as poll-trolls were concerned. It was the origin point for the great unskewing. The most common attempt was to "unskew" party ID %s, despite the fact that they are fluid and self-identified, though I definitely remember some playing a similar game as the one they are now regarding certain groups not showing up/"coming out of the woodwork" (this year, blacks not showing up/"the silent white majority" shocking the system, e.g.).

Of course past issues will be used against her, but by keeping it operational during her presidency, every single thing it does will be scrutinized and will give conservatives potentially something new to make a huge deal about / launch 393012621 Congressional witch hunts in the form of "committee investigations."

The point of shutting it down would be to give conservatives absolutely nothing new to run wild with during her presidency. As it stands now, she doesn't seem to be leaning in this direction, which she will definitely regret down the road.

Watching Hillary make these boneheaded decisions is almost like watching a car crash in slow motion. She is either completely oblivious to the ramifications of these decisions, or she is indifferent, both of which are pretty ridiculous.

Are you responding to me? because my avatar is orange not red, and I'm not american, so I don't know how much the "my candidate" thing applies in this case.

Yes, those two weeks or so were enough to pollute the forum in a massive way. I see you upped the ante this time around.

Haha sh**t, you're right!  I always assumed he was just a 2016 hack, but a quick glance through the ~150 posts of his single week in 2012 was like reading a poor(er) man's Dean Chambers (who was already a poor man's Karl Rove).  Sad!

Yes, He even kept up with his sample weights/party ID thing mere hours before the election was over
