The Libertarian VP is friends with the Clintons

[Skwmom]

and unasked stood up for her about the email controversy. He was being interviewed on some show when he made the comment about being friends. Then later he comes to her defense.... you can't make this stuff up.

Notice how they are the one other party getting corporate media exposure.

1. There must be something to like about Hillary since so many in positions of influence and power

support her and not Bernie. Think about it. They know him better than his newly found supporters.

4. Many of her elected endorsers voted for DOMA and for the Iraq War, they were very wrong about

those things and thus are not seen as examples of wisdom by those who favor equality for all and who oppose stupid wars. In NC, 12 elected Democrats endorsed Hillary then voted for their bigoted 'bathroom bill'. Think about it. Is that some display of wisdom in your eyes?

5. I've known both for decades.

I trust Senator Sanders as an honest, ethical person and leader.

Clinton? Not even close.

8. Wow, just wow, the logic!

So in a system of highly concentrated power, a system where everyone's ass is legally for sale to the highest bidder, we should listen to what the oligarchs, potentates, power elite and career politicians have to say. They like a power elite establishment politician who is sort of an oligarch herself and known for unwavering support to neoliberalism and imperialism. And they dislike the one guy who's gotten the most exposure calling them on their bullshit.

They must know something! Amazing!

16. The Final Gear In The "Rigging Machine!"

The Corporatists and Clinton Inc. have left nothing to chance in their quest for world domination. The Clinton Global Initiative will finally bring to firm reality the New World Order in all of its "glory." We the people will have to "live or not" with it.

Only means to stop it... Well there are several, however the FBI still holds a fairly formidable KEY... Let's see if Comey et al have the cajones to use it.... To protect US from THIS!!!

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

18. There must be something to like about Hillary since so many actual Democrats vote for her

2. In Bill's autobiogrsphy, he spoke of how much he liked Weld

In the discussion about the 1996 Senate race. It was a rather strange couple of pages given that his opponent was the Democratic nominee when the book went through final edits and came out. CLinton did support Kerry, but in the book he spoke of how Kerry was good on technology policy and was the Senate sponsor for Youth build - and it was good even if it was not something that gives you votes.

Caveat: This is from memory. This was a book I got rid of in a move from NJ to Vt. I remember it because it seemed so odd for a book coming out in June 2004. It could easily have been read that he likedand respected Weld more, but couldn't afford to lose Democrats.

3. So? nt.

[seabeyond]

6. Now she gets in trouble because she has friends. Shame, Clinton.

[Dem2]

7. Bill Weld was a milquetoast Republican governor of Massachusetts

A very liberal State and he is a relatively liberal Republican.

9. I work in a large company and have many friends

And not all of them are pure as is a Sanders purity requirement it seems. But guess what cupcakes? I am able to differentiate that and deal with it. And they don't force a purity test on me. Check your history regarding societies that force purity tests, I am sure you'll be shocked at what you're becoming

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Gee, candidates who defended the purity of Sacred Marriage have scant room to criticize others

for having standards. Hillary has opposed my basic civil rights on the basis of the purity of her faith. Check your history regarding societies that force faith based moralities onto secular societies. Hell, check current events as there are currently ten countries that execute LGBT to defend their pure faith.

And what is with calling other people 'cupcake'? That's rude and uncalled for.

[MineralMan]

10. Hillary Clinton has lots of friends.

Everyone knows that.

[Zynx]

11. So, being social and having friends in political circles is bad?

You know, politics is a business of relationships ultimately.

I work in state government and pretty much everyone is friends with everyone else in the elected and appointed circles. It's just how it works.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. So your contention is that such associations are always and universally wonderful?

Those who are tight with Trump are just tight with him because that's how it works? No reason to object to horrible policies because we are all good friends?

[Zynx]

19. No, but I was attacking the notion that it's simply bad to have widespread friendships.

Or that such friendships are a sign of taint and corruption.

[hrmjustin]

12. Conspiracy!

[Octafish]

14. What a coincidence. So's the GOP Prezidental nominee.

Or else it's because she "had to."

[brooklynite]

17. Maybe they're the only other party that appears to have any political prospects

Jill Stein got 0.6% of the vote in 2012; why do you expect her to do substantially better?
