Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
St. Louis Post poll puts Hillary up 1 in Missouri. That had been pretty safely on Trump's side, was not really considered a close battleground.
I have a feeling there's gonna be alot of turbulance on both sides during the remainder of the cycle. Ups & downs. In the end I feel Hillary will win handily.
It is ashame a competent 3rd party candidate isn't running. Why aren't any choosing to this cycle is perplexing?!

Like I said, I'm looking into Gary Johnson. He was a two-term gov; seems to have it together at first blush, but I have research to do.

New report shows RI gov’t opening only a fraction of polling locations: http://www.bustle.com/articles/156771-w ... -locations Bernie leads Hillary by 4 in the latest poll: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main ... -wins.html If she outperforms this polling, the Bernie camp will go nuts and allege misconduct. They’ll probably complain regardless, actually. We might want to get out in front of this one with an inquiry to the RI Gov, even though she’s one of ours.https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/4925

1. Like Donald's other fallen foes, Hillary Clinton represents the political establishment.
2. Hillary's millions of dollars worth of paid speeches to banks, lobbyists and billionaires cede a certain moral high ground to Donald Trump.
3. Independent and new voters are flocking to Bernie Sanders and even to Donald Trump, but not to Hillary Clinton.
4. Hillary's reliance on millions of dollars from SuperPACs is a real problem.
5. Young voters are crazy about Bernie Sanders and just don't care Hillary Clinton.
This race isn't new anymore. People know enough about Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to make an informed decision. I believe these polls are accurate. The team at FiveThirtyEight stated that they believe the polls between Trump and Clinton will continue to narrow.
We can all agree that Trump must be stopped, but this much is clear - Hillary Clinton is not the best opponent to stop him.

That's the DNC though, not Hillary. I'm sure republicans are shitting bricks that their emails are out there, too. I think if one was released they all should. I mean, I have a serious problem that conservatives are suddenly cozy with Russia and Asange.
Randall:
The March 4 ABC News article reported that "a final memorandum" issued by "[t]he State Department's internal investigation arm" found that former secretaries of state "handled classified material on unclassified email systems." The State Department found that emails handled on private email accounts associated with Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice contain "information classified at the Secret or Confidential levels.'" Former Secretary Powell responded that those identified emails were not marked "'Confidential at the time and they were sent as unclassified,'" seemingly underscoring Secretary Clinton's defense that "the State Department is classifying documents too aggressively" (emphasis added):

Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
see, I've read the actual articles and know that there were a few "confidential" emails sent to the aides of Rice and Secret to Powell's. They weren't asking for classified remarks to be removed and sent as Clinton did.
And I repeat, guidance and policy were different under their tenures. What is so hard to grasp that Clinton set up a private server that she used exclusively, and encouraged aides to scrub markings.
Clinton personally shared classified email. Her entire intent was to skirt FOIA requirements and we now know that she outright lied when she said she turned over all work related emails.
If you want to compare Clinton's coordinated and intentional violation of the law to a dozen emails sent to Powell or Rice's aides over the years, there's not much more to discuss. No amount of context or evidence is going to change your mind about Clinton.

Clinton Campaign Hacked Again
WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The computer network used by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign was hacked as part of a broad cyber attack on Democratic political organizations, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The latest attack, which was disclosed to Reuters on Friday, follows reports of two other hacks on the Democratic National Committee and the party’s fundraising committee for candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives.
The U.S. Department of Justice national security division is investigating whether cyber hacking attacks on Democratic political organizations threatened U.S. security, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The involvement of the Justice Department’s national security division is a sign that the Obama administration has concluded that the hacking was state sponsored, individuals with knowledge of the investigation said.
The Clinton campaign, based in Brooklyn, had no immediate comment.
The Department of Justice had no comment.
It was not immediately clear what information on the Clinton campaign’s computer system hackers would have been able to access.
RUSSIAN HACKERS
Hackers, whom U.S. intelligence officials have concluded were Russian, gained access to the entire network of the fundraising Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, said people familiar with the matter, detailing the extent of the breach to Reuters for the first time.
Access to the full DCCC network would have given the hackers access to everything from emails to strategy memos and opposition research prepared to support Democratic candidates in campaigns for the House.
The hack of the DCCC, which is based in Washington, was reported first by Reuters on Thursday, ahead of Clinton’s speech in Philadelphia accepting the Democratic party’s nomination.
Russian officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
Several U.S. officials said the Obama administration has avoided publicly attributing the attacks to Russia as that might undermine Secretary of State John Kerry’s effort to win Russian cooperation in the war on Islamic State in Syria.
The officials said the administration fears Russian President Vladimir Putin might respond to a public move by escalating cyber attacks on U.S. targets, increasing military harassment of U.S. and allied aircraft and warships in the Baltic and Black Seas, and making more aggressive moves in Eastern Europe.
Some officials have privately said responding more forcefully to Russia would be more effective than remaining silent over what one called “a continuing campaign of intrusions, attempted break-ins and bullying.”
The hacks under scrutiny did not involve the private email system Clinton used while she was secretary of state.
The FBI said on July 5 that no criminal charges should be filed over Clinton's use of private email servers while she was secretary, but it rebuked her for being "extremely careless" in the handling of classified information.
After emails were leaked from the DNC hack, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday invited Russia to dig up thousands of "missing" emails from Clinton's time at the State Department, prompting Democrats to accuse him of urging foreigners to spy on Americans.
On Thursday, Trump said his remarks were meant as sarcasm.
Earlier in the week, Clinton campaign senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan had criticized Trump and called the hacking "a national security issue."
In Washington, the DCCC said on Friday it has hired cyber security firm CrowdStrike to investigate. "We have taken and are continuing to take steps to enhance the security of our network," the DCCC said. "We are cooperating with federal law enforcement with respect to their ongoing investigation."
Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat and the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, said she had not heard about the hacking investigation involving the Clinton campaign.
But she told CNN: "It wouldn't surprise me. I think it should be pretty clear that both campaigns should be aware that there's a problem out there. Everybody should be cautious."
