Headline November 10th, OBAMA PARDONS HILLARY

As long as Trump is president-elect on Nov 9th, fine. I can see Obama justifying a pardon of Hillary in order to secure the classified information on the unclassified network. A loss in the election would eat away at Hillary for the rest of her life.

Now, I can't see any justification of a pardon for the Clinton Foundation issues. I think Bill and Hillary are on their own regarding that if Hillary loses.

So, using public transportation for all this, they 1) go to work in the morning, 2) go home to vote at their local voting location during the day, 3) go back to work, and then 4) go home again at the end of the shift?

I think the only criteria is that a pardon is granted for a specifically named past action, regardless of the status of any pending current or future proceeding.

So in other words, if no one knew about the server until Obama revealed it on Nov 10, 2016, he could pardon her for any charges related to her having that server while serving as SOS, even before an investigation had occurred.

He just cannot pardon people for any acts not yet committed, or provide any blanket pardon for any or all unknown crimes they may have committed in the past.

Last week they were criticizing Trump for undermining the people’s faith in our institutions, now they are saying the FBI is crooked and part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.

“In the interview, Rendell also expressed concern about public transport workers striking in Philadelphia, saying that if the strike was not resolved by Election Day, it could hold down turnout and be “a real plus for Donald Trump”.”

Does the writer even know of the saccharine nature of the irony dripping from his writing?

Yes Fast Eddie is basically owned by the mob, but he’s not a dummy... You have to be beyond stupid if you think PA is a sure thing for Hillary this cycle.

Sage will underperform O everywhere and Trump has more enthusiasm than any R here in at least a generation.

Trump should Easily put 3M votes in the box.. For Hillary to do that she will need to perform as well as Obama in 12 and she doesn’t have the support.

Remmington poll last week showed what is obvious she has no support outside of Philly. She won’t perform anywhere near Barry’s 12 numbers..

She’s losing Erie, Harrisburg and barely winning Pittsburgh. In 2012 these regions accounted for 130k+ of Obama’s 300k victory.. She’ll be lucky likely to only see a net gain of 20k of that from those regions this year and Trump should easily hit 3M votes. Meaning Hillary must get 100,000+ more votes out of Philly than Barry did in 12 to hav any shot, and would have to perform on par with home everywhere else other than those 3 counties I just mentioned. And she won’t do it.

Assuming Trump puts 3M in the box, which I think he will.. 04,08 and 12 R all got roughly 2.7M. Trump should easily get 300k more votes than any of them.

Time will tell but I think Hillary will be looking at 2.5-2.6M votes in the box at the end of the night.

No, they just get the afternoon off to go vote. The union ponies up for busses to take them to the polls. On the way to the polling places, they’re given a nice lunch and maybe an adult beverage or two. It’s a party.

I’m being facetious as I don’t know that this happens at all union shops, but I have definitely heard of it happening at some.

I think Hillary is so corrupt that there are many other things she would go to jail for even if she were pardoned by Obama for the email scandal.

Polls are within walking distance in the city

Sure, your own polling place is, but how about the polling places for the 37 other people you committed to voting for on election day?

I also think that Trump wins PA. If he is running even with Hillary in the Pittsburgh area, I don’t see how Hillary wins the state. Trump will win the T by huge margins. She won’t get as many votes from Philly as Obama did.

Really interested to see how PA turns out.

Remmington poll showed her only up 2 in Pitt which equates to about 20k votes.. Obama took it by 90k. He’s up in Erie and Harrisburg 2 other areas O won outside of Philly... Those 3 areas added 130k votes to O in 12. With numbers out of Remington poll, if they are right Hillary might net 10-20k at best meaning to hit the 3M votes that O got in 12 she’ll need 100k+ more votes and that assumes that Trump doesn’t put more than 3M votes in the box.

I just don’t see any way Hillary can win here. Trump is certainly the most popular and motivating R candidate in nearly 30 years.. And as I said with dog candidates the Rs have consistently put 2.7M ish on the box.. Trump should easily get 3M. Meaning Hillary must perform at least at Obama 12 levels and that just isn’t going to happen. She has Zero enthusiasm and support... She’ll underperform O everywhere, I really think she puts 2.5/6M in the box.. That’s it.

This morning he was on “Fox & Friends” saying Hillary was sure to carry Pennsylvania because she had a great ground game there and Trump had none at all.

Both McVain and Rumknee were globalists stooges. Getting 300K votes more than that sorry duo us not a big hill to climb in PA.

Sorry but if you believe that you are showing your ignorance about PA. Fraud happens in pa every election cycle.. But I am telling you with all the fraud they can muster they will get 2.5/6M in the box for Hillary.

Look at the last 3 cycles... 3.0 3.3 and 3.0. Do you think D’s weren’t frauding like crazy on all of them? Yep.. and that’s what they could get. Hillary won’t pull anywhere near O 12 or Kerry in 04... She’s losing and underperforming in every demographic and every region. She can’t put 3M in the box with all the fraud they can muster.. She’s looking at 2.5/6M votes fraud included.

What I was saying is that Trump getting 300K more votes than the globalist stooge duo ought to be doable.

My bad misread your comment. Trump should easily get 3M votes meaning Hillary has to perform at O 12 levels to win.. And she’s grossly under performing that across the board. PA is Trumps and Trumps by a good margin IMHO

Worth remembering that Rendell was Philly AG and mayor during the Giuliani era and he did several of the same sorts of things and did help the city claw out of the depths it had sunk to in the 70s and 80s under guys like Wilson Goode. He went on to be the chairman of the DNC when the Lewinsky scandal broke and he couldn't bring himself to defend Bill so he was jettisoned at first opportunity.

He's a backroom dealing, pay-to-play election stealing democrat hack but he has some redeeming qualities and one is he will speak his mind honestly.
