McAuliffe fuels new distrust of Clinton over her position on trade
Washington Post ^ | 27 July 2016 | Jenna Portnoy and David Weigel

PHILADELPHIA — Gov. Terry McAuliffe fueled new distrust of Hillary Clinton among liberal Democrats this week with a declaration that the presidential nominee was likely to reverse her position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership after the election.

The Clinton campaign swiftly rejected the idea that she would waver on TPP and called her longtime friend and chairman of her 2008 campaign “flat wrong.”

But Republican nominee Donald Trump seized the moment, saying that McAuliffe revealed Clinton’s true nature as a free trader — and a flip-flopper whom voters shouldn’t trust.

Hillary has maximized her public policy auction rates to so many entities on so many issues on so many sides, she can't string a sentence together without tripping up on the truth.

I don't think she can speak unscripted in public at this point? It must be exhausting?

Hillary is lying about not supporting TPP.

Clinton’s Bag Man let the cat out of the bag.

It will be hard for the Felon running for the White House to keep her lies straight the next 100 days. No press conferences in the last year either, so it will be hard to keep ducking them. But, it’s a willing press. It should be fun though.
New emails are on the way

Big Mac must not have been given the “nod” and is harboring sour grapes over the whole affair.

Has Gov McClown issued his mea culpa yet? Very hard to believe these two scumbag peas in a pod aren't on the same page. Maybe McClown has multipe Crony Capitalist owners and one is getting nervous with Clinton double talk. McClown may be getting real nervous anywhere not near a large crowd.

Astonishing timing. From wikipedia (for my own enlightenment):

“Terence Richard “Terry” McAuliffe is an American businessman and the 72nd Governor of Virginia.[1] He served as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, from 2001 to 2005, was co-chairman of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, and was chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.”

That’s a pretty tight history with the Clintons. And he throws this big fat cream pie right in the middle of the convention. Et tu, Terry?

“When it rains, it pours ...”

God acts in strange ways. He doesn’t just want us to win, he wants us to come as CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to losing along the way.

Had Cantor won his Primary on June 14, 2014, Amnesty would now be the LAW OF THE LAND and this election would not have mattered, for the next election, and all thereafter, would be Democrat ROUTS due to their new supermajority (an additional 30 million voters, most of whom could not even speak or read English).

Had Trump sat this election out, Jeb or Rubio would be the nominee, and even if they won, and that same Amnesty would be law in 2017. So delayed a few years, but same result - a new Democrat supermajority for generations.

Had Ryan not faced footsteps in his own Primary, coming up in just a week or so, he would have helped engineer the needed last-minute ‘rules change’ to deny Trump the nomination, and thereby hand over the presidency and HUGE MAJORITIES of Congress to Hillary.

Yes, God is watching over us, giving us a path to prevent annihilation of this country - but He demands that we do our part and make damn sure that Hillary is not the next president. He has not given us any room for error - as he already let us screw up twice, in 2008 and 2012. He is patient, but He has LIMITS.

Big Mac is positioning himself for when Hillary is forced to give up the nomination some time after the convention.

Big Mac won by a narrow margin. Had the RNC given just a small amount of dollars to Cuch, he would have won.

Part of me thinks this is some kind of set up. Are they really this tone deaf?

PS I am a native Virginian — born in the Medical College of VA a long time ago! I visit VA for social and deer hunting reasons several times a year.

It saddens me greatly that y’all have to live with your McAwful (or whatever you call him) 24/7. I am embarrassed for the state!

I am very proud of the fact that at CPAC a number of years ago, as McAwful was glad-handing his way through the exhibit area, I intentionally turned my back to him as he approached me! He wanted to shake my hand, and all he got was my back!

Trump is amazing. He just jumps right on this stuff within minutes. The man is a genius and Hillary and her flying monkeys fear that he’s just warming up.

Honestly, do you remember how inept the Romney campaign was and McCain? None of the other republican hacks would have come out of the gate as strong. It’s no wonder he smoked every last one of them. Now it’s Hillary’s turn.

Those morons Romney & McCain would have issued a formal statement in the MSM the next day that McAuliffe was misstating their esteemed opponent's position. "Gentlemen" don't you know. A.K.A. pathetic, stupid doormats, just like Bush II before them. It's SOOOOOOO refreshing to finally have a candidate that fights rather than constantly bending over & taking it.
