The reason he's still there is the same reason the Tea Party (and current waves of anti-establishment backlash) revolted against elected GOP politicians. The party's leadership is both ineffective and corrupt. You should ask yourself what kind of primary numbers a well-loved politician would get, then look up how well he did in 2014. Also ask yourself how the majority leader of the house fared from that epoch. Yes, McConnell is not well loved for the same reason as Boehner, he gave in on power of the pur...I mean obstruction. He didn't stand strong with the Tea Party. | ||

It's not a big deal 3. You know Russian hackers are trying to win the election for Trump! 4. Maybe it's true, maybe it's bad, but it's not as bad as what Trump said the other day. 5. Why are you bringing up that old conspiracy again, clearly it provides no context for what recently happened? | ||

There is no way they have a folder named "pay to play" which substantiates the kinda stuff that has been suggested previously. I just can't imagine that being the case. We'll know in the next couple days I guess. | ||

Okay the Clinton people fail at corruption and subsequent coverup, but this is too hard to believe. The first floor of these enterprises is conducting business off the books. | ||

"Finance 2013-2014" AND "Financials"?? "February event"????????????????????? Similar deal as the Assange "October surprise". If this doesn't turn out to be legit, Guccifer's integrity is down the tubes. | ||

2) 99.9% sure there is no smoking gun if real 3) How stupid do you think the Clintons are. People claim they are this massive shadow organisation that no one has been able to catch for decades but now they have all their dirt just lying around in conveniently labeled folders on a complete mess of a file server? | ||

One word. Stonetear. Also, with the leaks: There is a file showing TARP funds were given to big banks (which they were supposed to) and then given at a percentage to the Clinton Foundation. That is stealing taxpayer money. If this holds up, that's pretty corrupt. | ||
