Romney on David French running?

"Mitt Romney embraced David French, the conservative lawyer and National Review staff writer
who some are pushing to mount an independent presidential run — but stopped short of an endorsement.
I know David French to be an honorable, intelligent and patriotic person. I look forward to following what he has to say,” the former Republican presidential nominee tweeted late Tuesday.
French, who has yet to comment on his potential candidacy, is being urged to run by Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, among others." Politico

Her Printer too....

"Findings this week suggest that if Hillary Clinton ever used a private network to print documents
from her home-based server, that printer could have been breached by hackers.
The information came from Internet address maps stored by Farsight Security, a San Mateo, Calif.-based tech company. The map indicated that one of the subdomains attached to the former secretary of state’s “clintonemail.com” address had been given the less-than-subtle name, printer.clintonemail.com.”
It isn’t clear whether Clinton ever used the address to actually attach an Internet-connected printer. If she did, it could have served as another attack vector for hackers to access the information that was transmitted." TammyBruce

Sanders Surrogate brings up Lewinsky

"Actress Rosario Dawson is hitting the road in support of her 2016 candidate of choice — Sen. Bernie Sanders — while standing by a talking point she rolled out previously on the campaign trail.
However, it may be Dawson’s decision to double down on her past references to former President Bill Clinton’s personal life that could capture the most headlines. In April, while addressing a Wilmington, Delaware rally of Sanders supporters, Dawson said, We are literally under attack for not just supporting the other candidate. Now, I’m with Monica Lewinsky with this. Bullying is bad. She has actually dedicated her life now to talking about that. And now, as a campaign strategy, we are being bullied, and, somehow that is OK and not being talked about with the richness that it needs. msnbc

Sanders Looses his cool in Radio Interview

"During an appearance on The John and Ken Show Thursday, Bernie Sanders lost his cool.

HOST: “You didn’t answer the main question about what jobs have you created. It’s pretty vague, your background. What have you done in your life?”
SANDERS: There’s nothing vague
 
HOST: I’m not really clear on what kind of jobs you’ve had, besides Senator.

 
SANDERS: I have been in the U.S. House of representatives and actually before that, I was a mayor of 8 years. You ever been to Burlington, VT?
 
HOST: Yeah, but have you ever not been paid by taxpayers?
 
SANDERS: All right, look, if you don’t like government my friend, that’s fine. I’m proud of the record I’ve established as a mayor, making Burlington, VT, one of the more beautiful small cities in America, proud of my record in the House, proud of my record in the United States Senate. You don’t like government? That’s your point of view. I am proud of what I have accomplished." ChicksOnTheRight

A Letter to a Bernie-or-Bust Voter

"I voted in New York state, which went blue in 2000, so my individual vote did not help swing the election. But I still feel complicit. I jumped on the Nader bandwagon and bought into a set of beliefs that seemed right to me at the time but were proven very wrong over the eight years that followed. 
Chief among them, I thought that Gore and Bush were essentially indistinguishable. Carbon copies of each other. Both corporate insider candidates, beholden to big-money interests and out of touch
with people struggling at the margins of the economy.
Nader voiced the discontent I was feeling. I was young and idealistic and wanted political revolution. It felt good to back a rabble-rouser, not the stiff, robotic Al Gore. I was annoyed with the Democrats for picking a predictable, incremental candidate who played not to the left, but to the mushy middle.
But here’s the thing: In the eight years that followed, I was reminded again and again that George Bush and Al Gore were not carbon copies of each other.
Gore might not have been a perfect president, but it’s likely he would have taken more reasonable action on the economy, climate change, and gun policy. It’s hard to say how he would have handled 9/11, but he might have been more cautious and more diplomatic in the Middle East than Bush was.
But if Bernie splinters the left and erodes Clinton’s support among voters, the consequences for our country could be even more dire than another Bush administration. If the Bush administration was catastrophic, a Trump administration could be cataclysmic." Slate.com

Theory about Hillary & Obama

"The Obama administration has covered for huge scandals over the years, yet appears to be leaving the former Secretary of State out to dry on her email situation. Glenn threw out a possible theory Wednesday on The Glenn Beck Program. “So does anybody else find it weird that this administration
has covered for everything? Everything. Name the scandals. The gun-running on the border with Fast and Furious
,” Glenn said. “How could this administration not protect her when they’ve protected everybody else and the consequences are much lower?” Co-host Pat Gray suggested it’s because Obama hates Clinton, but there’s more to it according to Glenn’s theory.
They hate each other,” Glenn said. “But I don’t think Hillary Clinton is the ideologue — much bigger ideologue than her husband Bill — but she’s not the ideologue of Barack Obama. I don’t believe she’s a Marxist. She may be a socialist, but she’s not a Marxist. And I think progressives think there’s a difference between the two.” The theory gets interesting when Glenn suggests a possibility behind Obama’s motivation. “I think you could make a case — a bad case — but I think you could make a case that he’s looking for an ideologue to replace him. He’s done all of his work. He’s done the work of bringing this country to the brink of Marxism… And he’s not going to have it flushed away by Hillary Clinton,” Glenn said.
Finish the job. Put Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on the ticket. You got it finished,” Glenn said." GlennBeck



 

POLLS: Why Hillary should be worried

"A closer look at two of the more well established polls used in the RealClearPolitics average reveals
that movement toward Trump does not appear to be an artifact of unrealistic estimates of the composition of the electorate—...It also shows the tightening of the race is not completely due to Republicans coming home to their presumptive nominee. Trump’s increased strength boils down to a shift in support among independents, and that should be of concern to Brooklyn.
Overall, comparing the two most recent ABC/Post polls on the likely matchup between Trump and Clinton, Trump moved from a 9-point deficit in March to a 2-point advantage in May. Similarly, he closed his gap with Clinton by 8 points in the most recent NBC/Journal poll.
In the ABC/Post poll, among Republicans, Clinton does 6 points worse in the new poll than the last poll and Trump does 10 points better. This yields a net 16-point improvement among Republicans for Trump on the difference between the two candidates. That improvement for Trump’s margin over Clinton is 22 percentage points among independents. (In the March ABC/Post poll, Clinton led Trump by 9 points and in the most recent study, she trails him by 13.)." Bloomberg

600,000 at Trump Rally?

"Trump's speech to the Rolling Thunder bikers DC Sunday.
"We have the biggest rallies by far, far bigger than Bernie Sanders,'" he told a crowd in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall. "Far bigger. I mean, look at today. They say you have 600,000 people here trying to get in." CBS

Trump at biker rally

Look at all these bikers,” Mr. Trump, standing before a crowd in front of the Lincoln Memorial,
said with admiration. “Do we love the bikers? Yes. We love the bikers.”
Bikers assembled at the Pentagon before riding en masse into the nation’s capital, with many dressed in leather vests covered in patches, their bikes rumbling throughout the afternoon.
For the blunt-spoken Mr. Trump, who likes to stress his desire to strengthen the military and improve how veterans are treated, the gathering provided a receptive audience, if one where he might otherwise seem out of place.

Sanders supporters holding hands in California

 "And Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley, a die-hard Bernie Sanders supporter, had access to a motor home.
So this week, Woodley decided to take the RV on the road to campaign for Sanders ahead of California’s June 7 Democratic primary. She invited a few celebrity friends and fellow Sanders fanatics, including actors Rosario Dawson and Kendrick Sampson. 

They didn’t hire a driver, instead taking turns at the wheel for a 12-city tour of the state.
They started Thursday, with stops at the U.S.-Mexico border and San Diego. On Friday, more than 500 miles later, the big tan motor home rolled into a quiet residential neighborhood in the Bay Area suburb of Hayward, where a couple dozen Sanders supporters were preparing to spend the afternoon knocking on doors.

Levin: Hillary didn’t break email rules, she broke federal law

"Radio talk show host Mark Levin blew apart the media narrative that Hillary Clinton “broke email
rules” at the State Department.
Wednesday’s release of the State Department’s Inspector General emphasized Clinton’s violation of internal email policies, but Levin went right to the core of the matter explaining that these “policies” are in place because of federal law:
You’ve heard by now, Hillary Clinton violated email rules. What? There’s email rules? Thats how Politico headlined their breaking story. ‘State Dept watchdog: Clinton violated email rules.’ No. She didn’t violate email rules, she violated federal law. ‘The State Department Inspector General concluded that she didn’t comply with the agency’s policy on records.’ Guilty. GUILTY!  She’s guilty of violating a federal law. It’s not just the State Department that comes up with these policies. These policies are put in place to undergird the federal records act.” HA

Telemundo Caught Staging Shot at Anti-Trump Protest in San Diego

"Apparently Telemundo believes it is perfectly alright to stage events and film them as authentic. In
fact, as you can see in the video below, the Telemundo cameraman admits to filmmaker Andrew Marcus of Rebel Pundit that he is indeed staging the event. In this case, two young anti-Trump protesters in San Diego yesterday were holding the Mexican flag upside down and the Telemundo cameraman gave them directions on the proper way to hold the flag. This is followed by a really nasty attitude by one of the protesters including spitting in the direction of Marcus. But, hey, that behavior is understandable because according to another protester, the poor lad is a "minor" and therefore not responsible for his actions." Newsbusters

The judge was appointed by Barack Obama," Trump told a campaign rally on the same day as a hearing was held in San Diego over his online real estate school, which closed in 2010. "I mean frankly, he should recuse himself because he's given us ruling after ruling after ruling, negative, negative, negative."
U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel "happens to be, we believe Mexican, which is great. I think that's fine," Trump added of the judge, who was born in East Chicago, Indiana." NBC

La Riva (PSL candidate) Joins Verizon Strikers

"As a worker, CWA member, life-long unionist and a presidential candidate, I salute
and stand 100% behind the Verizon strikers. They are not just fighting to defend their own hard-fought wages and benefits from being driven downward and eliminated. They are fighting for the dignity and living conditions of all workers and their families.
Verizon made $39 billion in profits the last three years! Now they want to outsource operations and move jobs to lower-wage regions to make even MORE profits.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are two candidates of the billionaire class.
Clinton claims to be on the side of the strikers. Why doesn't she put her money where her mouth is, and give the $225,000 she recently took from Verizon executives for "a speech" into the strike fund?
Trump, an anti-union hotel owner, opportunistically talks about the evils of outsourcing and says he'll "make America great again." But he has held his tongue when 39,000 workers do battle right in front of him with a company that is bent on outsourcing their jobs and eliminating their economic stability. Both these candidates have confirmed whether they really stand: with corporate America." PSL

Hillary Emails From Scathing Report

"Since her use of a private email server was made public last year, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has insisted she turned over all work-related emails to the State Department to be released to the public.
But after 14 months of public scrutiny and the release of tens of thousands of emails, an agency watchdog’s discovery of at least three previously undisclosed emails has renewed concerns that Clinton was not completely forthcoming when she turned over a trove of 55,000 pages of emails.
The three messages include Clinton’s own explanation of why she wanted her emails kept private: In a November 2010 email, Clinton worried that her personal messages could become accessible to outsiders. The messages appear to have been found among electronic files of four former top Clinton State Department aides.
Two other messages a year later divulged possible security weaknesses in the home email system she used while secretary of state. The Clinton campaign has previously denied that her home server was compromised.
The emails appear to contain work-related passages, raising questions about why they were not turned over to the State Department last year. The inspector general noted that Clinton’s production of work-related emails was “incomplete,” missing not only the three emails but numerous others covering Clinton’s first four months in office.
The inspector general also found Clinton’s email set up violated agency policies and could have left sensitive government information vulnerable. It also complicated federal archiving of her emails, in turn making it more difficult to obtain them under the Freedom of Information Act." TheBlaze

He doesn't have an enormous national profile, but inside the Beltway he's known as a stalwart of the liberal wing of the party's congressional caucus. Unlike Bernie Sanders, he's a loyal party man. But he has a similar disheveled populist anti-fashion to go along with an extensive track record of support for labor unions and skepticism of the forces of globalization." vox

CNBC on why Trump could Win

 "The Republican rank-and-file seems to be split between those enthusiastic about a Trump presidency and those terrified of a Clinton presidency. Neither of those groups is likely to sit at home—or switch their vote. 

 Clinton, on the other hand, must placate the most passionate, enthusiastic, ideological elements of the Democratic Party—many of whom have spent months directing their passion against her.
 
  In office, Obama has delivered on his progressive promise. He has been ideological and combative,
unafraid to abuse his executive authority and fully content to govern unilaterally. He has been a passionate voice for government regulation, redistributive economics, identity politics, and global warming—the pillars of modern progressivism.

How have Democrats responded? The Clinton/Sanders split shows that Obama has succeeded in moving his party so far to the left that he himself now defines its center. The animating belief of Bernie Sanders' campaign is that Barack Obama was a sellout. To Sanders and his followers, Obama has been insufficiently ideological, too accommodating to Republicans and capitalists, inexcusably timid in his exercise of executive authority, and lackadaisical in his pursuit of progressive goals.

Clinton is visibly comfortable with Wall Street—not to mention the billionaires who have positioned themselves to profit handsomely from regulations allegedly necessary to combat global warming.

In short, Clinton is running to be more pragmatic than Obama. Sanders is running to be purer than Obama. Were Sanders to seize the nomination, the passionless pragmatics in the Clinton camp would fall in line behind his enthusiastic supporters—much as they have throughout the Obama presidency, and much as the pragmatic Republican voters have fallen in line behind Trump.

Clinton, however, will have to convince her party's most passionate ideologues—people who have already demonstrated their willingness to resort to violence—to rally behind her vision of a pragmatic entrenchment of accomplishments they already consider insufficient.
 
All we can say is, good luck with that." CNBC

Hillary does Ellen

Sanders staying in the running, despite calculations that indicate she has nearly secured the nomination through pledged and superdelegates. The out host then asked Clinton if she believes the Senator from Vermont should drop out of the race. Clinton noted that in 2008, when she was running against then-senator Barack Obama, she supported his bid for president after she suspended hers in early June.

This became an issue during her campaign when reports emerged that Harvard had once touted her Native American heritage as proof of its faculty's diversity. Warren, however, couldn't produce definitive proof of her Cherokee ancestry, and neither could genealogists.
