It's fine that she deleted her personal emails. Everyone does that. No one really cares about this issue except the House Republicans. They really are trying their hardest to figure out something here, but are obviously coming up empty. It just makes them look foolish.
I'm not a Republican and I care about this issue deeply.

You say that as if the media sycophants would not be trumpeting such a connection 24/7 if Trump had one. That is my point. It does not matter if he claimed to have repented (you know, after filibustering the Civil Rights act of 1964), they would have spun it against him anyway. The fact that they haven't even mentioned Byrd is proof of bias. edit for dang: Thank you for Correcting The Record. If you're going mark acc…
Please stop using HN for political rants—it's not the kind of discussion we want here. I know this is a particularly politicized thread, but your many comments still stand out as particularly ideologically driven. (In case it's a concern: we don't care what your specific ideology is. We just care about not pushing HN off a cliff.)
Get over yourself.

> Maybe try reading my original post again? Ok, sure > But you are ignoring that people who are proudly racist are openly admitting to using pepe specifically to broaden and popularize explicitly racist ideas Yes. I am ignoring such people, because such tactics don't merit anything more. I would also ignore them if they claimed to be using Mickey Mouse or any other broadly popular icon to promote their ideas. Because…
You tried. The mental gymnastics in that thread made my head spin.

Way to give the half 'truth' there, it's a supreme irony that DT supporters are ready to call anyone a shill but are just fine parading lies because they feel repeating it often enough makes it true. > Meanwhile there is a picture of Hillary embracing a KKK member actually > Meanwhile there is a picture of Hillary embracing a FORMER KKK member who said that joining the KKK was "the greatest mistake I ever made."
Well as long as the former racist said hes no longer racist then case closed. I couldn't fathom why a KKK member would want to pretend hes not racist.
"Senator Byrd came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda, doing well on the NAACP Annual Civil Rights Report Card. He stood with us on many issues of crucial importance to our members from the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, the historic health care legislation of 2010 and his support for the Hate Crimes Prevention legislation," stated Hilary O. Shelton, Director of the NAACP Washington Bureau

Other than the fact that dozens of prominent Republicans have rejected him? Including former Republican Presidents of the United States... who have come out and said they will vote for HRC, and that they do so because they can't bring themselves to vote for a tyrannical monster?
Lol. Downvoting me doesn't change the fact that GWB and other prominent Republicans are choosing to vote for HRC over Trump. You can hit that down arrow all you want, facts are facts and I'm sorry they bother you so.
What a pathetic time to be a Democrat.

What does that say about your supposedly progressive candidate. What a pathetic time to be a Democrat.
It takes some real mental gymnastics to take Republicans abandoning Trump as some sort of slight against Hillary. Lol, wow.
edit: nevermind, apparently you've just been on a trolling spree for the past hour.

This seems akin to feigned disbelief - you know the answers to these questions but are pretending not to. I'll bite anyway! > Who is this? How can I tell who of my neighbors is in this group? People who espouse beliefs far away from the median belief in the society. You can tell by taking to them about their beliefs, or often in my experience by having them talk at you about them or by looking at bumper stickers and…
Thanks for making the effort, but this definition is problematic in several respects. First of all, Trump is only a bit behind Clinton in the polls now, so either OP is wrong about Trump's supporters being those, as you put it, "far away from the median" (we typically call this "long tail") or the variance is much higher than any rational observer could believe. 538 gives Trump an 88.5% chance of winning the state wh…
Like I pointed out in my comment, "fringe" is definitely subjective, but there are also some objective measures, but they are also fraught for various reasons (which I went into a bit in my comment).
The claim (which, I'm not making, but others are) is that the Trump campaign has attracted more of "the fringe", not that all his supporters are of "the fringe". It's very possible to have both "mainstream" and "fringe" support.

... It says that she's a better choice than the Republican candidate, even to the Republicans? It takes some real mental gymnastics to take Republicans abandoning Trump as some sort of slight against Hillary. Lol, wow. edit: nevermind, apparently you've just been on a trolling spree for the past hour.
Hillary is so far right that establishment geriatrics like HWB find her palatable. People wonder why millenials can't be bothered to vote for her.
