Unless the CF is so dumb as to have a folder literally titled "Pay for Play" those are fake. Then again, it has been that kind of year where they could be real.

Deomocrats didn't call out Obama for "not telling them" about the problems he had with the bill, even though he publicly said what his problems with it were. That was your boy McConnell.

To be fair, there's plenty on the conservative side of this thread who are sick of McConnell's bullshit too.

I distinctly remember Danglars calling him out on this earlier in the thread.

He's one of the most reviled men amongst conservatives.

This is all rather funny. Someone wants to stick up for Obama's alleged bipartisanship and expects naming Republican leaders will provoke the same. He deserves to be gone, even at the cost of a GOP seat, but it's going to be a long time and I expect he'll retire into a cozy lobbying position if the race becomes tough.

So why exactly is this terrible man The single biggest spokesperson for the Republican party? Why has he not been driven out of atleast his leader position if his seat is so safe.
Is it perhabs because he indeed does speak for the majority of Republican politicians? And if so what does that tell you about where your party stands in relation to yourself?

Incumbency and the resources that come from it are a stiff challenge to surmount for a challenger with low name recognition. 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.

I think Kaine's focus of this debate is making Pence say things that are in direct conflict with Trump. Wins for Kaine will look like Pence saying "Of course Trump doesn't actually want that" and other similar such things

So Guccifer 2.0 just made a post claiming that he hacked the Clinton Foundation and linking to a metric shitton of documents. Get a load of some these folders that he claims were on the server:

"pay to play" "intern sandbox" It's just absurd.

They were legit last time, no?

Hard to keep track of which info came from which leak/FOIA/hack.

Allow me to save us all some time:
1. It's fake
2. 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?

Guccifer 2.0 missed the "Corrupt Dealings" folder. The most important one.

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.

This thing is organized like my backup hard drive. I just can't.

"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.

Apparently "pay to play" is an SEC term of art for certain regulated activities. That would mean that it wouldn't be unexpected for certain entities to have such a folder.

1). unsure if real
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?
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

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.

Regardless of what comes of this purported leak, this year has been a great reminder of the meaning of "paper trail."

These people need a lesson in off-the-books corruption.

The GOP campaign consists of Assange, Alex Jones and Guccifer. The desperation is real

I call cover-up. They started it at C so we couldn't see B for Benghazi and ended it at P so we didn't see the R for rape victims. Media is covering for Crooked Hillary.
