Which is totally legal and I haven't seen Hillary talk about how motivational speakers are bad. I don't really care about the investments in a vacuum, but Stein's the pot calling the kettle black.

caulfield12 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Trump makes more per speech, and his speeches are all about branding anyway. Plus, Trump University is yet another con artistry extension of a Trump speech/infomercial/The Art of the Deal. Not unlike those current house flipping seminars with Tarek and Christina el Moussa. At least Hillary is not taking money out of the pockets of veterans and middle class Americans desperate to get a get a step up in life with phony programs that are based on high pressure sales techniques. Those are typically the ones who opt for Trump University and for profit educational institututions.

I don't really care about the investments in a vacuum, but Stein's the pot calling the kettle black. Johnson knows less about foreign policy by far than Bernie Sanders. It might be even scarier (as a country) to see him receive 8-10% of the vote without even being vetted by a single national debate. https://www.yahoo.com/news/comey-wrote-bomb...-220219586.html So the FBI doesn't even have a warrant yet for those emails. So this whole thing basically is whether Huma Abedin printed off potentially classified info (which she didnt even realize) from her yahoo account after forwarding there from other accounts, whether Anthony Weiner had access to the same documents, and whether he had potentially shared or given access to an underage girl. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/30/us/polit...top-news&hp.

That hasn't stopped her from taking their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 So the Democrats can't take money from financial institutions? 75-80% of that money used to go to the GOP, but banks currently want to hedge their bets and back the winning side and labor unions have been completed decimated, and that funding source has been slowly shrinking since the 70s. If you declare war on Wall Street like Sanders, how is that a potentially successful strategy for compromise and/or reform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) That's a pretty amazing overreaction to the FBI finding emails that it has no idea what they contain and how many of them they've already seen before anyway. Sad to see Comey's letter having this effect, that people seem to think that the mere existence of emails is some sort of scandal. edit: googling his name, he looks like he's cut from the same cloth as Dick Morris so him having any support for Clinton in the first place is highly questionable. This just looks like bad concern trolling. Edited October 31, 2016 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (Schoen) was always closer to Bill, but he did work with Hillary's 2008 campaign. Yeah, but more importantly read the first paragraph: "He is a political analyst for Fox News and a columnist for Newsmax. He partnered with political strategist Mark Penn and Michael Berland in the firm of Penn, Schoen & Berland. He believes that lower taxes would be a successful Democratic strategy, opposed President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, warned the Democratic Party to reject the Occupy Wall Street protest, and recommended that President Obama not run for reelection in 2012.[3][4]" Newsmax, for christ's sake. Either way, it still remains at best a silly overreaction to the FBI discovering the one of Clinton's close aides shared a laptop with her husband.

CanOfCorn Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 28, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) Thank goodness FBI reopens email probe. I wish we could have an emergency delay in the election process and start over. The two candidates are unfit to be president. I was talking to a good friend about the FBI last night and how disappointed we both were in their being corrupt in letting Hillary off the hook without formal charges. I thought Comey should go to jail. Thank goodness this is happening, though I know no details yet. How did this not get more play? No one noticed this line? Really Greg? Maybe you should be a politician because that was a fantastic CYA statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
