Regarding bother her server issue and leaked emails issues -Brian Peacock wrote:What do you think is the main issue with Clinton's emails?
1. They reveal collusion between the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign against Bernie Sanders, when the DNC and the Clinton campaign were just lying to everyone's faces by claiming there was no collusion, and that the DNC was neutral.
2. They revealed pay-for-play between donors of the Clinton Foundation and access to government - Friends of Bill regarding Haiti -- the Moroccan and Saudi donations -- there is an obvious pattern where donating to the Clinton Foundation bought you access.
3. They revealed that she disclosed classified information when she had said she had not (when she said she never had any)
4. They revealed that her campaign officials mocked southern Americans, Catholics and "needy Latinos."
5. They revealed that she was careless with classified information, per the FBI, and lied about why she had a server, and lied about documents deleted and turned over.
6. They revealed that she holds "public" and "private" positions on issues.
7. They revealed that she was fed questions that were to be asked her during debates or town hall meetings in advance by Donna Brazile.
and more.

Re: Election 2016 Thread
We are in the home stretch, and this long, national nightmare of the 2016 election, which seems to have been going on for two years now....and seems longer ... will be over.
At this point, I'm drained with it.
So, final prediction going into the last 2 weeks before the election day?
Hillary Clinton will win handily -- electoral vote count of 342 to 196 (+/- about 10 for each).

Re: Election 2016 Thread
Biden and Trump have more or less claimed they'd like to fight each other, so there's that. Biden is listed as 6 feet tall (close to 183 cm) while Trump is listed as either 6' 2'' or 6' 3'' (188 or 190.5 cm). However, in a photo taken with somebody who is 6' 2'', he doesn't seem to measure up. Trump clearly has a weight advantage, but in this case I don't know that it can be considered an advantage. Even though Biden is older, it seems readily apparent to me that he's in better shape than Trump. If I were betting, my money would be on Biden.

"These conservatives seem to have forgotten that before Assange was revealing Clinton campaign emails, he was serially leaking stolen, classified national security information that has endangered the United States and its allies across the world.
In 2010, WikiLeaks dumped more than 76,000 unredacted, secret U.S. intelligence documents into the public domain, including the identities of at least 100 Afghans who were informing on the Taliban."
