#1 Biden/Warren

#2 Never going to happen.

Five industries - IT, banking/finance, education, entertainment, and public employees - have already spent a billion dollars on Hillary Clinton's campaign through various channels. Foreign actors have channeled several hundred million more. All in exchange for protection of income stream and/or protection from the regulatory leviathan.

If you think they are going to walk away from that investment your are certifiable.

#3 I don't know no mo. The 'Bill Johnson' story may have legs.

#4 Besoeker, I'd love nothing more than to believe that something can take out the Clinton Crime Family and their funding base, the undeserving publicly funded, the Davoisie, and the rest of the putrid Blue State types.

But from where I sit, I just can't see it happening.

Lois Lerner not in jail and with a six-figure government pension has really had an impact on the way I view our electorate and those who populate the apparatus of state. As big an impact as the reaction of the left to 9/11 did. A commenter on Fernandez's site has named them TWANLOC (those who are no longer our countrymen), and I think that is accurate.

Bad actors like computer/software monopolists, lawyers and lobbyists who are affiliated with environmentalism and other regulatory rent seeking sectors, and banking/finance industry types - robber barons all - have figured out a way to use the system to bribe their way free from the regulatory beast the left imposes on everyone else. And to use the votes of the NPR-listening pseudointellectual crowd plus the welfare/public employee free sh!t army to insulate themselves from competition.

The Blue State model zombie corpse will not go into the night quietly and is now in maximum self-defense mode, like a cornered rat. Can Trump worry the rat to death? Maybe, but the rat has a whole lot of fight left in him.

The electoral college map doesn't look good. The Clinton Crime Family need only win three or four dozen counties in three or four too-close-to-call states to win the election at this point, no matter how badly they lose in committed red states.

We need a miracle.

#5 The 'Bill Johnson' story may have legs

Agreed, Mr. B. Was shocked to see that Newsweak had an article about that series of events yesterday (at least it was still there this AM and hadn't been scrubbed or 'modified').

Maybe the wheels are actually coming off....but I'm not holding my breath.

#6 Besoeker, what's the "Bill Johnson" story? I've been a little out of sorts lately with a knee replacement and haven't followed the news very closely?

1. It's a celebrity election. Normal data collection processes are not working. The only reliable data is confined to the already deep blue urban areas which are default anyway. However, there, NYC might not be as deep blue as once given it being a celebrity election.

2. There's a sense, this is the 'None of the Above' vote so many have been so desperate to cast for years and years.

3. Every day the O Administration is issuing more and more decrees that p*** off more and more people. And we're not talking Soros paid useful thug idiots who thrive on hate.

#8 The Department of State Inspector General's Report created a problem for Hillary. Should she get indicted or absent that because of political issues the FBI leaks the results of their investigation of Hillary's treatment of classified information, she could be toast for this election.

#9 'Bill Johnson story.'

#10 Yeah...I've said this for a couple of months. Biden/Warren will slide in. 2 weeks before the convention she will drop out for health reasons.
For her efforts, she will receive a full pardon.

#13 re: #10,

typical Dem tactic.The only question is how will Bernie react? Is Hillary going to gift all her delegates? That might cause some real agita amongst the BBros.

I remember Chicago in '68, think we'll be going there again.

#14 The McAuliffe story suggests maybe the CGI corruption was far deeper than suspected, and Bernie has been somehow made aware of the possible outcome. Add how Fauxcahontis has suddenly emerged and a lovely, nasty story might be forming?

#15 Great rant, no mo uro, and I agree with most of it. But if the folks of whom you rant see the Beest melting down they may decide to desert her like they would a sinking ship.

#16 Clintons have been on the take for decades. They get away with it by gaining control of the DoJ. Reno dropped the ball in the '90s and now it's Lynch. If Hillary doesn't win in November, look for a pardon in January.

#17 I don't think Bernie is smart enough to figure that out. He's still in because he gets to pontificate to crowds of thousands of people and the media is paying attention to him. He's never had anything g like it in his life. He loves the attention and probably believes he's making a huge difference.

#18 Ann Coulter takes it a step further..

#19 Nice piece, Ann - not to worry Hil.

What I want to know is where the Media Lemming Herd stands on this issue. They appear to be piling on poor ol' Hillary of late...

#20 Bernie could win in California. If that happens I think all bets are off.

#21 Her ditching the chance to debate him was a bad move. Of course she might know she'd lose a debate and felt it was the better option.

#22 What is the deadline on getting on ballots in every state? Can someone other than Hillary or Bernie run nationwide as a demorat?
