shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Three years each; thirty thousand illegally handled emails.

Yeah, I say let her run after her 90,000-year prison term is completed.

Arkansas was expected to go to Cruz thanks to the graphic put up by Byron it may explain why Trump carried was crossovers.

Trupmbots do not want to hear this but the problem with all of this is that Trump has court cases pending from law suits brought against him by students of that phoney Trump University he set up and some other stuff resulting from those bankruptsies.

While it is not nearly as bad as the very bad baggage as what traitorous Hillary has and if the Senate was doing its job at least impeach her. Yet here we are in that situation we were in 2012. Having Romney never arguing against Obamacare when he set up its prototype in MA..

Who has the standing to file court action to enforce this?
What would happen if we file in every County or other jurisdiction that has an election board or election authority?

Then we go through a discovery process before the court hearing.

Trump will win BECAUSE of their attacks not despite their attacks. Will Senator Cruz vote to block money for Trump’s wall?

The rhetoric thrown at each other is really turning people off. Then we have the eGOP piling on. And now possibly Romney joining the ‘dump Trump’ movement.
IMO destroying any chance of winning, no matter who is the nominee.

Why would any sane person vote for one of the liars, inexperienced, bankrupt prone, ‘foreign born’, poor money managers, skirt chasing people in the race?

This in a nutshell: My sources tell me the “Free Trade Republican Elites” are on the payroll of China and Mexico and other transnational groups.

Should someone expose their dirty laundry, almost every single one of them could be sent to prison for breaking corruption laws that are already in effect in this great country.

Apparently the so-called republican establishment is willing to lose the Presidency just to make sure nobody they decide is “the chosen one” can win.

It just came to me that the reason they don’t mind if
Hillary! is elected is that it means they think it
ensures their control of the house and senate in the
next election. If Trump or another republican is in
office the populace has a tendency to balance that out
by giving democrats a return to the other leg of government.

They are behaving like tyrants. Vote for who we say you should vote. I prefer Cruz or Trump, I will say I didn’t know which I would vote for, until I said a brief prayer and voted. Regarding Rubio, what I dislike about him is that so many of the Dems think Rubio should be the GOP candidate. Why would that be? Is it because so many Dems are going to vote for Rubio if he is the GOP candidate? Or does he make Hillary look better to her party? I wonder which it is?

I’m having trouble connecting discontented students at Trump U with the senate impeaching Hillary, bankruptcies, and Romney setting up a prototype obumacare in MA.

Can you briefly explain your theory a bit and kinda connect the dots? Thanks, buddy.

Republican elites wouldn't know the meaning of the word "Hard" if they were at a Foam Party...oh wait.

"It that an Amnesty Bill in your pocket, Señor Rubio, or are you just happy to see illegal aliens?"

Excerpts from PJ Media article by Rodger Kimball posted leap year day in FR

As a businessman, he is thoroughly disreputable: a liar and a cheat. Then there is the matter of Trump University, a “massive scam,” as Ian Tuttle put it in a masterly piece, a scam that has earned Trump three class-action law suits, two in California, one in New York. The New York suit alone represents more than 5000 people. “We started looking at Trump University,” former NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in 2013, “and discovered that it was a classic bait-and-switch scheme. It was a scam, starting with the fact that it was not a university.”

As Tuttle points out, although Trump is attempting to bully his way out of the charges — he has countersued some of the plaintiffs and has brought a $100 million counterclaim against the New York Attorney General’s office (good luck with that, Don), it’s not working. Trump himself, Tuttle reports:

(Trump)...will have to take the witness stand in San Diego federal court sometime during the election season — and because of the timeline of the cases, a “President Trump” would be embroiled in these suits long after November.

Problem seems to be denial ?
