I’d still not bet against Joe Biden ending up being the nominee.
For some reason I can’t get those to load - I will try a dif computer in a bit, thanks!
Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop yesterday in Beaumont, Texas. Only six people were there to greet her.Her security detail outnumbered her supporters by quite a bit. She wouldn ’t talk, wave to or even acknowledge those there to greet her. As bad as tha t is, it’s not the real story here. The real story is who she took a private meeting with. After landing, Clinton headed off to a fundraiser in WestBeaumont, where she was greeted by around 150-200 Muslims, most of whom were of Pakistani origin. The event was held by Pakistani businessman TahirJaved and Hillary raised approximately $500,000 by pandering to Muslims,making it “one of the top five private fundraiser’s Clinton has had in this country.” She’s bought and paid for by them. Spread this far and wide. You will not see it on national news but this is what is going on. SheilaJackson Lee was there as well.
I couldn’t watch the videos either, just saw the story and the screen captures of the twitter feed.
I have frequently had poor results in trying to view content at IJReview. They seem to get good stories, but their technical performance in delivering their content often seems to have a negative wind coefficient.

My favorite for today: Fox News is unethical for asking Trump tough questions and “coordinating” with Romney.
So now Fox is mean and unfair and CPAC is not conservative.... smh

Here’s the news video to that story. It was in mid February.
And I apologize, I should have asked your permission before sharing. I hope it isn’t against your wishes.
My computer isn’t showing videos today apparently - this isn’t the first one I couldn’t get to load. Hopefully others can watch it. Thanks for posting
I am an issue oriented person. I want to know what platform they are running on. Let’s take abortion. After donating to Democratic proabortion candidates for decades Trump’s now firmly antiabortion. Hmm. Wanted to shut down Planned Parenthood after the selling baby parts fiasco, yet he’s walked back from that now and praises Planned Parenthood. Will “negotiate” a deal with them to continue federal funding? What is it? Can’t have it all ways.
On Obamacare, he said ...oh, I am against that. Then, at a rally when asked a question, he states that he is for FREE healthcare for all. Which is it?
On immigration, he’d build a wall and end illegal immigration....yet he will “negotiate” federal visa programs...what exactly is his position there? He slams Disney for firing folks and hiring from the visa immigrants....so where exactly is he really on this issue?
I could go on with Trump. I sat here last night trying to follow Trump’s answers and determine what he is saying.....yet all I heard was “Lyin’ Ted” and “Little Marco”...until I was ready to scream.
Trump is a petty tyrannical man....works great if you are in business and THE boss of that business. Does not work so great when running for public office. Then he is MY employee and I simply can’t trust him on the issues. He is “flexible” on all the issues from what I can see.
For me, Cruz is firm in his beliefs and acts with conviction in public office to uphold those beliefs. That counts for a lot with me.
Vid shows Cruz leaving the stage to pick up his younger daughter and hug her. Very sweet.
Rick Lazio
I recall Hillary’s meeting with the Jewish community in NY state and collecting campaign donations when she ran for Senate.........wonder if she is dipping into both pools for her run this time?
When asked about his healthcare for all, even the liberal media hack asked who was going to pay for it and Trumps response, "the government".
That’s the guy. You know what I mean though. Trump’s normal actions in these debates will be way too aggressive against a girl like Hilary. His condescending and threatening demeanor will be the story.
I’m not at all surprised-Hillary will do anything for money-it is what she cares the most about and she does not care if she gets it from the devil himself-and Silly Jackson Lee is as dumb as a box of rocks...
the antipathy by trumpbots for Fox is puzzling, bc Fox is all trump all the fricking time it seems to me. He got double the talking time last night of anyone, and he is on EVERY dang show. Greta let Eric Trump sit there and say his dad doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, without saying BOO about his abusive nasty rhetoric. Sean Hannity is so far up Trump’s butt it’s ridiculous. i see nothing but trump butt kissing going on on FOX.
today he walked back the waterboarding. his views shift daily.
It is 72 and sunny-very pleasant-rain is supposed to be on the way in a couple of days-
Hillary just might be zaftig
To someone but it isn’t Bill-
If he ever thought so before
He has hidden that with skill
Now he just goes off and rants
When someone tries to vet her-
Does he hope if she’s elected
He’ll look for someone better?
So many interns so little time
He’s not so in the public eye-
He won’t be noticed as quickly
For giving one or several a try...
Lazio wouldn’t have won no matter what happened, but the used that against him.
Remember Gore and Bush....Gore’s behavior v Bush’s behavior was a turning point in the election. I can’t recall quite what happened...didn’t Bush roll his eyes or wink at the audience while Gore was aggressive?
