Well, that guy was doing opposition research on the Clintons for decades. A bit late for them to get rid of him now... On the other hand, he gave an interview about his role in the Trump campaign 10 days before his death. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those Clinton Deathlists remind me of the guy who wrote that book on the Kennedy assassination. Apparently it was the CIA, and they bumped off a 100 people, including Mafia dons and politicians, to keep the secret. This book came out in the 70s, and the guy is still alive. Spot the logical fail! I've forgotten his name, Maryport might remember it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to concur with gcreptile on this – Clinton lost the election, she is probably too old and too unpopular (even with the Democrats) to be renominated, so she could not win much by getting him out of the way. Trump, on the other hand, would certainly have had incentives to prevent his "RussiaGate" from escalating further and his stupid aides from (mostly involuntarily) testifying against him. I think, there's already enough "material" on Trump and his staff so that Paul Ryan and the Republican establishment could successfully impeach him if they had the political will. But what they need to carefully consider is whether such a move would damage the GOP itself and question their legitimacy as well and whether they'd rather have Pence as president. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally hope Trump stays. Pence will silently destroy the country, contrary to the day by day scandals and disorganization of the Trump administration. As for Clinton, She could very well run again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 749 Posted July 16, 2017 Senator and 2008 Republican Nominee, John McCain, is recovering following a surgery to remove a blood clot from above his eye. He turns 82 next year, has battled cancer, and has definitely had his fair share of health scares recently. Wouldn't be a bad pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These vultures never give up. Personally, I'm liberal minded but McCain is one of the lesser evils in the GOP. I think he is still a man of honor unlike turtleface (McConnell), babyface Ryan) and punchable face (Cruz) and everyone who is only there to line their pockets. McCain personally does not believe Trump's wealthcare bill will go trough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 749 Posted July 18, 2017 Reports have it that Senators Susan Collins, Rand Paul, Jerry Moran, and Mike Lee are opposing it. Regardless of McCain's vote, it has already failed. The last 3 of those 4 names I mentioned want the bill to be more extreme than it already is They never learn do they??? They will try again in September, after the August recess.
