The majority was filibuster-proof for about 40 days, I think.
How serious is this? I mean... are we looking at President Trump as a consequence?
Not very serious.
This is the political equivalent of Gerrard slipping...
Really? You think this will be the reason why Dems lose the Presidency and Trump wins?
You are asking for balanced political analysis or do you want Americano to answer?
Interesting exchange if you have a bit of spare time
Steven Gerrard (before slippping): "this does not slip!"
Debbie Wasserman Schultz (before turning her convention into a dumpster fire): we will "be united going into Philadelphia, unlike here in Cleveland"
just wanted to see the reponseIs DWS going? The fact that Bernie Sanders has already endorsed Clinton suggests that the Dems are united. Well as much as you can get in a very diverse party.
Bernie Bros are already marching down Broad Street in Philadelphia in response to this. Just because their candidate sold them out to the Clinton machine does not mean unity.
Party in crisis, right? Everybody went crazy over a couple lines in Mrs. Trump's speech and when Ted Cruz got booed. This is a complete trainwreck by comparison, the entire DNC leadership just imploded the day before the convention. The leader of the DNC was fired for corruption.
And the Democrats are trying to blame this all on "the Russians". Because Putin loves Trump so he sent some of his boys to get dirt on Wasserman
Their creative thinking knows no limits.I wonder if she regrets gloating last week? She stopped tweeting yesterday. I wonder why.
Putin knows if Trump becomes President the USA is fecked.Bernie Bros are already marching down Broad Street in Philadelphia in response to this. Just because their candidate sold them out to the Clinton machine does not mean unity.

The bitch resigns after causing all the damage.

Protests were always going to happen as the major problem with the left is that it gets quite hysterical at times.
Wasn't DWS resigning pretty much always been on the cards? I really don't understand the big deal here, would be massively different if the figureheads were at each other's throat.
So lets say they find an email from Clinton to one of these feckers and they are all found conspiring against Sanders. Will that disqualify her?
She was supposed to stay?
They won't.
Do you actually need an email from Hillary to know that all of this was done on her behalf, at the instruction of Barry and The Clintons?
Even if they prove that she authorized it, she would never face consequences. Barry would just pardon her. Plus the FBI and the attorney general have already pledged their banners to House Clinton.
Cheers, I'll self flagellate now.
First of her name, Queen of Chappaqua...
Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya. Good riddance DWS
Pardon? My word. This is an internal party affair. I don't see a criminal angle to this.
And, good riddance to DWS. Almost exactly a year too late, but still.
Putin hates me! The Russians are helping Trump!

The report is spot on. Putin's disdain for Hillary is well known. He thinks she tried to undercut his "election" in 2012. The two hacking groups cited in the report are alleged to have links to the FSB. Very interesting that the emails were published this week. Its not rocket science really.

So it wasn't enough to falsely label Trump and his followers racist homophobic Islamophobes? Now they want to add "friends of Russia" to the list? It's comical.
Clinton can't prove any of these bizarre Russian allegations, and they know it. That's why they made them. It's a crazy Hail Mary to try to get people to ignore another flaming pile of Clinton Corruption. Hillary was guaranteed to be the nominee, but that wasn't enough, she had to deal from the bottom of the deck. That's the only way she knows. She ordered the code red.
Kind of funny how Bernie suddenly cares about Clinton's email.

I really couldn't understand the last few posts by Americano because the Trump-Putin (any dictator actually) love-in is well documented.
But then I remembered this:

Well, I know which candidate took more money from brutal dictators. It is not even a contest.

The problem is with the system, not the candidates.
Sure, but come on. The irony is strong with this one. It is just hilarious when Clinton supporters are pointing fingers at anyone when it comes to taking money from shady people. It just shows that in the current political system, most active voters are just tribal pricks, who lack any self-awareness.

Taking money from shady people is ok so long as there isn't quid pro quo.
Hey take that back.
"Clinton supporter"
I can criticise Trump for his public admiration of authoritarian dictators and purge-style campaigns, without having to repeat how dirty Clinton's money is in the same post.
yeah, but Clinton was quite cosy with all the Arabic governments. Records weapon deals and open door policy. Obviously you can never proof anything but the case is about 10000 stronger than this stuff against trump.

I have no problem with anyone who supports clinton because she is the lesser of two evil. I also think that you are a quite sensible poster and it is true that you can criticize Trump without talking about Clinton.
My point is that most people treat political elections like sports without really knowing it. They have picked one team, never question it and end up defending everything the own team does, while the other side is always evil. The double standards in politics are frightening and sadly that doesn´t just apply to one side of the political spectrum. There is enough literature that explores this.
If the majority of people would be remotely sensible we´d never end up with Trump or Clinton as the candidates. These candidates represent society a lot better than most people realize. What you deserve is what you get.

He had problems with some democrats as well.
DWS is now part of the Clinton campaign.
I'm calling it. This campaign has been shameless, and the Clinton people are furiously looking for more nails to hammer into their own coffin. Trump's getting this one. A much needed wake-up call.
