Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Hillary: Hey, This IG Is Just a Republican Stooge Rehashing Discredited AttacksHer spokesman attempts to not say "vast right wing conspiracy," perhaps expecting guffaws. (He'd be right to expect that.) He instead says that the IG's leaks are "highly coordinated with Republicans." Except the IG isn't a Republican; indeed, he's an Obama appointee. When someone is obviously guilty of a crime, I'm sure the world looks like a "conspiracy" out to "get them." This conspiracy is called "the criminal justice system," and it embraces thousands and thousands of co-conspirators.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Well let's hope that the criminal justice system embraces Hillary, chews her up (sorta like Huma, but with sharper teeth) and then spits her out in a stylish orange jump suit where she can go learn to bake cookies.

There were fears expressed in previous threads that the GOPe voters wouldn't do what Conservatives are expected to do; hold their noses and vote for the R candidate. I have never met a GOPe voter - I see GOPe shills on here - but seriously is there anyone who wants Heb! to be president? I also have to question what percentage of the R's are GOPe voters; if it is most of the party why pander to conservatives? I'm pretty sure the GOPe actual vote is about like Heb! poll numbers 2% or so.

I'm more cynical, Ace. Hillary is beyond the stage where she believes in her innocence.
But it does go to show how easy it is to subvert the Criminal Justice system if you have access to and compliance of Big Media. Remember all the lefties who want to impeach Michigan Governor Snyder over the Flint water plan? Of course the mayor and city council are all Democrats and agreed to the plan that led to it. The EPA flubbed and even under a Republican, that's a Democrat agency. It was all down to the fact that Snyder had appointed a city manager, who is apparently supposed to be responsible for testing water. Except that city manager is black. And an SEIU member. And a Democrat. It's part of the corruption, actually. Democrats are corrupt and incompetent and the only way to deal with them is to have another Democrat do it, else they squeal. It's a good racket. Posted by: AmishDude at January 20, 2016 12:37 PM (Xd2w5) 121

From last thread RE Trump's VP choices:
Goldwater finally had to take an obscure NY congressman named William Miller. All the leading GOP players he asked said "no thanks." Trump is going to be in an identical position if he's nominated. None of the rival candidates are going to want to be remembered as the new Rep. Wm. E. Miller. If Trump wants a nationally known GOP figure on his ticket, I think Palin & Ventura would accept, but likely no one else who is a national political figure. Put yourself in Cruz or Rubio's position. You have some pride, You've been savaged by the Donald just like all the other contenders. What in hell is in it for THEM? Other than being a bad joke like Rep. Miller was?

Hillary Clinton faces Twitter backlash after saying in debate that 'no individual' is 'too big to jail' A tweet sent out by Hillary Clinton's campaign during last night's Democratic debate got a lot of attention because of the email scandal 'I can't believe she just tweeted that with a straight face,' said one Twitter users A chorus of other Twitter users asked if Hillary was 'too big to jail' Posted by: Misfortune & Pestilence at January 20, 2016 12:54 PM (JayGb) 223
I still think the pressure on Zoobama to give Hillary a preemptive pardon must be pretty sizeable. The Democrats really need to get this threat out of the way, or she may have to close down her campaign. Obviously an indictment kills her chances, and I'd argue a continuing and increasingly serious investigation does it too.
They don't want to have Crazy Bern as the nominee, so Elizabeth Warren or Biden (or maybe some past loser like Kerry) will either have to get in or they will need to clean Hillary up. I predict a big dump of damaging info from the administration to see how she survives it. If she still floats, and still polls reasonably well, she will get a pardon. Otherwise, you'll see her drop out and Warren or Biden will jump in. Either way, the Democrats face open rebellion from the socialist Bernie supporters (maybe Warren can blunt that, so I bet she's the one who gets in). Total chaos on the Democrat side coming.

Worse. Much much worse. Goldwater had an ideological vision even though the campaign itself was doomed. Trump is a gasbag with juvenile soundbites.

Posted by: mnw at January 20, 2016 12:49 PM (/krQw) I actually agree, which is why I think he goes private sector, either someone like Mark Cuban or, to broaden his appeal, someone more lefty, like Elon Musk (unlikely, guy's a cipher and wouldn't fit in as second fiddle). Or a celebrity, which accomplishes the same thing, and let's be honest, after Joe Biden, why shouldn't Vince Vaughn or Kurt Russell be VP? Then we'll see what idiocracy looks like. He needs to balance grabbing hold of the GOP bloc, not just the "angry base," with actual triangulation if he wants to sway the 5-15 percent of dems he needs to jump ship. So if he doesn't stay bulletproof with Republican likely voters through SC, he'll probably nominate an R politician and then tack left for the general. If he shores up the R coalition he'll have more leeway with a VP pick. Posted by: Ghost of kari at January 20, 2016 12:55 PM (xuouz) 230

192 From last thread RE Trump's VP choices:
Goldwater finally had to take an obscure NY congressman named William Miller. All the leading GOP players he asked said "no thanks." Trump is going to be in an identical position if he's nominated. None of the rival candidates are going to want to be remembered as the new Rep. Wm. E. Miller. If Trump wants a nationally known GOP figure on his ticket, I think Palin & Ventura would accept, but likely no one else who is a national political figure. Put yourself in Cruz or Rubio's position. You have some pride, You've been savaged by the Donald just like all the other contenders. What in hell is in it for THEM? Other than being a bad joke like Rep. Miller was? Posted by: mnw at January 20, 2016 12:49 PM (/krQw) If I were Trump, just strictly looking at picking a VP to win, I'd try to pick a populist from the other side of the aisle.

my rambling thoughts:
Hillery makes a deal with the Obama admin to avoid any real trouble before the election. After the election, Obama pardons Hillery whether she wins or loses. Hillery in return agrees to an Obama (or ValJar) approved VP. Double plus: Hillery agrees to give Moochelle a position (if the Dems somehow take back the Senate, maybe Sec of Education.) Also... if Trump is the Repub nominee and it looks like he's going to win, the Obama admin suddenly announces all kinds of criminal and civil investigations against Trump and his company. Also, what the f is up with people saying they will support a third party conservative candidate for Pres if Trump is the nominee? Why don't they just start a C'onservatives for Hillery" org?

How many people here have actually gone to a Trump rally?
And before the answers come in, I'm going to speculate at "precious few." And yet, he's filling up auditoriums, pretty good sized venues, too. So, he is resonating with people for some reason. We (me included) see him at least partially as the hammer of hate to be used on the GOPe for past transgressions, but that doesn't account for his level of popularity.

Conservatism and conservative have been rendered politically meaningless.
The paradigm is big government or slightly less big government. When the so called "conservstives" held both houses and the Presidency, we did not get conservative policies. We got anything but that. The only lasting thing to come from that was a single SCOTUS pick and we had to kick and scream to get even that, see Harriet Myers. So this notion that Trump isn't conservative is pointless, the only question is will he advance want are now my narrow goals of altering the trajectory on immigration. I think he will, he says he will. The other candidates have, in their own way, told me to go fuck myself. So that's why I support Trump, but he is starting to make it hard to that.

The medical devices tax was repealed last month. Granted it was a 2 year temporary repeal. But this will be like the state sales tax deduction. It's been a "temporary" deduction for the past 15 years, as every year it gets extended for another year or two.
The medical devices tax is as good as permanently repealed too I think. A lot of medical devices are manufactured in deep blue states so it will be a slam dunk politically for congress to keep on extending the "temporary" repeal. Posted by: Monsieur Moo Moo at January 20, 2016 01:25 PM (0LHZx) 422

Reagan was great at many things, including his voice for "America First" and calling out the evil empire.
But his miracle genie of deficit spending (voodoo economics) indeed turned things, but set us on the course for continuous growing deficits. Of course this was maybe started by the commies starting the federal reserve, or the New Deal, or Nixon going off gold, or LTCM bailout for millionaires, or too big to fail or jail, or zero interest and QE ... All that, is a long line of degrading our currency and empowering the private bankers. Reagan was not happy about the deficit he left ...

IIRC, what got the gold-plated, luxurious ball of Trump rolling was his simple statement about closing the Mexican border to illegals. That's something that most Americans know has never even been tried during their lifetimes. It's the elephant in the room and he was the first candidate to actually say what everyone's been thinking for years.

This goes for his supporters, for the media coverage of him, for his speeches, etc. He just does what he does and every time he breaks "the rules" his appeal is that much greater.

"Haven't you heard? Cruz is a Canadian and his wife worked at Goldman Sachs and he missed a vote once."
Don't forget this: Here is what Cruz said in 2013 at the time of the Gang of 8 bill: "Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration" http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/13/us/cruz-tries-to-claim-the-middle-ground-on-immigration.html?_r=1 Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay. "The amendment that I introduce removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight," he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Romney famously advocated, self-deportation. Posted by: Misfortune & Pestilence at January 20, 2016 01:32 PM (JayGb) 468

There are conservative candidates running in the GOP primaries right now--as deep of a bench we've seen from the GOP in ages--and you're going for Trump because you're pissed at the Establishment and you think Trump is going to do...something somewhere that might somehow justify your support. This Trump phenomenon is strikingly similar to the Know Nothing movement of the pre-Civil War Era. TheKnow Nothings only claim to fame was that it was instrumental in giving the 1856 election to DemocratJames Buchanan, later rated as the worst president in our history and whose election made the Civil War a certainty. This time we get Hillary--or maybe even Bernie Sanders. With luck, unlike last time, maybe we won't end up shooting at each other before it's over.

"The problem is that, other than on immigration, Trump is a far better establishment fit than Cruz."
Yep. If Palin's endorsement does help Trump win Iowa, I have no doubt the GOPe will be very very happy. While the Establishment loathes both of them, they know they can cut deals with Trump (although I think Sanders has a better shot at being president than Trump does). They know Cruz will not give in on much, which is the real reason they hate him. So Palin is, in fact, playing exactly into the hated establishment's hands. That makes me think that maybe her critics were right after all and she's not too bright - or she's letting her bitterness color her judgement. Posted by: Donna and V.

I'm being serious. Not only would that give Trump even more blue collar cred, plus cross over appeal, but socially Manchin is more conservative than many Republicans.

If you're against that, then you're going to have to explain to me how allowing millions of unskilled, uneducated, illiterate(even in their own language) people into our country to instantly get on welfare and social security which they will never ever come close to paying back- is both conservative and good for our country.

Some of the same people who say "Rubio is dead to me" because of his Gang of 8 betrayal say, "Meh, so what?" when you point out the many liberal positions Trump has held and the liberal pols he has given money too. I fail to see how giving money to Harry Reid was the price of doing business in NYC. All this is moot, however, because the country is mainly leftwing now. The next pres will be Bernie Sanders.

"Cruz has always advocated enforcement of the law. That includes the laws mandating deportation for illegals."
---- Or as those ads from Fat Cat PAC said supporting the #Gangof8 plan: "Our current immigration policy is de facto amnesty. Let's change the law so everyone is legal." Posted by: RioBravo at January 20, 2016 01:49 PM (NUqwG) No, Cruz advocates enforcing the LAW... not current immigration policy which is unlawful.

"They certainly aren't threatening the ethanol subsidy trough feeders in Iowa."
Iowa is peanuts to what they want to do. Let Iowa have their cake right now. Trump's got bigger fish to fry. Posted by: Misfortune & Pestilence at January 20, 2016 01:52 PM (JayGb) 537

Posted by: redbanzai at January 20, 2016 01:49 PM (OrI3J) Ah, but that's OK. It's Trump playing 3 dimensional chess or something. If Cruz had done it, it would be another sign that he's really a GOPe sellout. Posted by: Donna and V.

Then why is Me-Too Ted trying to adopt all of
Trump's immigration policies. And no, Ted wasn't first, Ted's pandering and lying. Posted by: Misfortune Pestilence at January 20, 2016 01:50 PM (JayGb) If you actually believe this, you have not bothered to educate yourself on the history of the candidates. Cruz campaign for Senate on a conservative platform that included no amnesty and enforcement of the law and he still holds to that same platform.

"Misfortune & Pestilence ) --can I call you M & P, btw?
For anyone dumb enuf to question Cruz' bona fides on immigration, two words: Jeff Sessions." Sure, M&P is fine. I've been called worse. : ) I like Sessions, seems like a decent fellow, but he's not God. I've evaluated Ted on my own. Posted by: Misfortune & Pestilence at January 20, 2016 01:55 PM (JayGb) 543
Next move, appoint Eric Holder as special prosecutor.

"Iowa is peanuts to what they want to do." Oh, so ethanol subsidies are no big deal. Just like every single liberal/ Big Government/crony capitalism position Trump has endorsed is no big deal. When do all those little nothing thing that are "peanuts" start to mean something to you? Posted by: Donna and V. (sans ampersands) at January 20, 2016 01:56 PM (u0lmX) 545
"So you won't admit it. But you know.
Posted by: Max Rockatansky" no, I'm happy to have President Cruz, but the Clinton machine and the GOPe will be hard to contend with ... So IF GOPe really gets behind Cruz and he beats Trump ... fine. But there truly is contempt for Cruz in high GOPe places, so they may not really back him, unless he compromises with them. But with Trump having twice the national support, I hate all the vicious Trump bashing, AND the bashing of any that see the need to recognize he could win. Then what to do with all that cumulative HATE that has been spread by half of FOX analysts and others. The Cruz supporters are playing the GOPe game sorta ... trying to poison the other guy, like McConnell/Boner do to the tea party. Their way or they will vote Hillary. Same with much of the Trump hate ... they will vote third party. Posted by: Illiniwek at January 20, 2016 01:57 PM (5Gpe2) 546
"If you actually believe this, you have not bothered to educate yourself on the history of the candidates. Cruz campaign for Senate on a conservative platform that included no amnesty and enforcement of the law and he still holds to that same platform."
He also told everyone he liquidated his assets to run turns out he got loans from the very people he was railing against. I take his speeches and promises as i take any politicians promise (especially on immigration/border)...zero. Actions speak louder than words.

"When do all those little nothing thing that are "peanuts" start to mean something to you?"
You are nitpicking issue. Rearranging chairs on the Titanic. Pointless. Trump is looking at $21 Trillion in debt, lawlessness everywhere, overrun borders, graft and corruption everywhere, imported Muslims and Isis, etc. there is so much wrong right now. So yeah, Iowa and ethanol are lower priorities. Not even in my top 20. Posted by: Misfortune & Pestilence at January 20, 2016 02:03 PM (JayGb) 548

Posted by: Illiniwek at January 20, 2016 01:57 PM (5Gpe2) Cruz won his Senate seat with no help form the GOPe... he can do the same for the Presidency. As far as trying to poison other candidates, I have no issue with candidates pointing out legitimate policy differences between themselves and others. I have a BIG issue with the name calling and prevaricating Trump is engaging in. Posted by: redbanzai at January 20, 2016 02:10 PM (OrI3J) 550

"Cruz won his Senate seat with no help form the GOPe... he can do the same for the Presidency. "
Without Sarah Palin, he was nothing. He admits that. His staff and supporters were ridiculously, viciously and hysterically shitty to her yesterday. Posted by: Misfortune & Pestilence at January 20, 2016 02:15 PM (JayGb) 553
"Cruz taking out a standard loan is a non-issue."
It's not a non-issue he was required to report it...why? Here's why: Media Reports A Second Wall Street Banking Loan "Inadvertently Omitted" By Candidate Ted Cruz...

Obama appointee? That only proves Obama is part of the conspiracy (but Hildabeast needs to suck up to his supporters, so she can't say that, silly).
