If Saudi Arabia were the guiding force behind Clinton you would have some point, but you can't show that they are so your point is not made. |

Exposing racists isn't disgusting. Being a racist is disgusting. Most of the time they will expose themselves as this site has proven. |

I'm talking about the political tendency to make monsters of opponents, not expose them. It's slanderous and disgusting. I know you understand the difference between casting someone a racist and exposing someone a racist. Edited by ringotuna, May 18 2016, 08:12 AM.

Is that why the administration will veto a bill that gives license for 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia? |

Fighting racism is a bogeyman used by the powerful to grab more power. The tactic of calling everything racist doesn't work anymore. If it did, Trump wouldn't be where he is. Racism didn't crash the stock market in 2008, racism hasn't given this country a national debt of $20 trillion, and racism didn't lie this country into two middle eastern ear where thousands of Americans have died. For all this, there wasn't a racist bone in Washington or Wall Street. Keep railing against if you want, but that's a dead charge. |

Ok... What do you think of the endless investigations of Hillary Clinton that have yielded no charges worth prosecuting her on? Those attacks and the monster making have been going on for twenty five years ...and counting... What has Congress run? Nine formal inquiries into the Benghazi mess? Is that slanderous and disgusting to you? I think not. You are as guilty as any you condemn if you support that. |

You think that way because you are an avowed and admitted racist. You like to think you are persecuted for that horrible position. You cry about it constantly. How could you think otherwise? |

That's a valid point. There are cases where someone is cast as a racist when that's not clearly the truth. And yes, falling back on racism as the "catch all" for all the difficulties some people face is a "thing". Still, there is a hell of a lot of racism left. We're most certainly not in a post racists world, despite the claims of some. |

Like you said.....It's just politics...right? I've made it very clear throughout the whole Benghazi debacle, that my only Benghazi issue is with the false narrative this administration fomented after the fact. The whole 'video' excuse was a politically motivated lie. I never bought into the 'stand down' security negligence etc. So basically your "THEN" conclusion is not supported by your "IF" qualifier. And I never said Republicans didn't engage in disgusting behavior. They do...I do think however that Democrats are much better at it. |

I wouldn't begin to deny that racism does not still exist. |

Why? They are smaller states that total up to one major state. Votes are votes and we don't do it by state. |

She can make it because it is true. She didn't invent the caucus system, frankly, given the dedication of Bernie's supporters and the cynicism of her own, she'd be doing better if the caucus system didn't exist and everything were primaries. This would probably narrow her popular vote margin a bit (not enough to put Sanders ahead) but would likely widen her delegate margin since Sanders' share of the vote would drop. The fact is that there is no such thing as a true "popular vote" during the nomination process. It simply doesn't exist. The best measure we have is the popular votes which are cast and Hillary leads in those. Period. Could we sit down and work out a method of estimating popular vote in states that don't conduct one? Yes. It wouldn't be very accurate and it also wouldn't be very fair to Hillary since an extrapolation could not take into account the almost inevitable narrowing of Sanders' ludicrously lopsided margins in those states. Moreover, such a model still wouldn't give Sanders the lead anyway. Again, the math in the post has absolutely zero connection to reality. Even if you didn't bother to take into account Hillary's better margins in primary states, the caucus states wouldn't provide enough votes to knock out her lead. That's precisely why she is leading in pledged delegates. The math involved is simply bogus. Edited by Two a.m., May 18 2016, 11:19 AM.
