Within the Democrat party, the super delegates have enough votes to overrule the party voters outside of a spectacular landslide. They have done so before.
Think back to Watergate. What was stolen?
Their candidate need only win a few states to be at the convention to receive the coronation.
LBJ announced his decision not to seek the ‘68 nomination in March of the same year, Iirc.
For real? That's sick. I do not understand how a voter can pull a lever for an un-named candidate. Something illegal here.
What I described is exactly how presidential elections work. That we have a mental image otherwise is only because the disruptive events have not been experienced.
Totally legal. In the general, the living breathing human being you vote for is a party elector, not the nominee. And in a primary or a caucus, your voice, while directed to a living breathing candidate, actually translates into delegates at the nominating convention.
The politicians and party hacks argue that it is legal to put unqualified candidates on the ballot.
I think George Pataki is voicing a GOPe wet dream. Who is going to indict Hillary? The Just-us Department? The last time I looked the Attorney General was still Loretta Lynch. Anyone out there have any doubt that any move to indict Hillary, by any career(ist) US Attorney would be not only squashed, but that the “Career US Attorney” could kiss that career goodbye?
Nope, the Republicans are going to have to beat her head to head and my thought is their party is too fractured for that to happen.
The same know-it-all talking heads that say Trump cant win, were telling us Hillary was inevitable, Michael Medved in particular.
I really fear an unknown candidate inserted at the last minute more than Hillary.
TDS in this is strong.
I understand that you were once in the same state as Hitlery Clinton.
Therefore, you should be under investigation by the FBI and regardless of their findings, drop out of FR.
I am with you. Hillary will never be indicted. Hell has a better chance of freezing over in the next 10 seconds than she does of being indicted. If you follow the bitch’s political career, you will discover that she goes from one felony crime to another. From time to time, they may get a scapegoat like Webster Hubbell to take her place. But she always skates. This time will be no different.
Whenever Pataki predicts something, isn’t he always wrong?
Picture would be perfect if Jebbie were standing next to his “brother”.
While the corrupt DOJ will never indict Hillary, some disgusted FBI agents could reveal the truth about the Hillary’s influence peddling and utter disregard for the classified information leaked from her server. Most of the left wing media will ignore this information but it will not go away and combined with Hillary’s lack of charm with many voters Democrat insiders will see her chances of being elected dropping. However, the announced alternative, aging socialist Bernie Sanders, would mean a GOP landslide in November. Joe Biden might well still emerge as the Democrat candidate. Al Gore is a possibility but is widely seen as a flake. Ditto for California governor Jerry Brown. Hillary will be all but toast by the time of the Democratic convention.
Trump being photographed at a charitable event at his own course indicates what exactly?
So that is Guliani, Trump, Bloomberg, Clinton, Joe Torre (Yankees), Billy Crystal and who is that guy on the right?
Who’s Pataki? Failed candidate for dog catcher?
HERES MY PREDICTION....
Hillary's crimes must be dealt with...they are too blatant to be completely overlooked ...but the dems know that..she can be pardoned...her job has been to stay in the race as a place holder for “Gaffs�¯Â¿Â½â‚¬Â Biden....He couldn't campaign the whole race because he'd make a fool of himself with his crazy off the cuff remarks and they know it!...If he rides in on the white horse at the very last minute they think they can pass him off as sane and the savior of the democratic party...the MSM will pee up their leg over him
(U heard it here 1st folks)
No Bidening!
Isn’t that the plan?
