    Barns -- this will be ignored by media and Hollywood. Hillary being Hillary. No big deal.

    As an outside observer of all this, two things are clear to me.
    1. There's no "right" choice for You Guys.
    2. Hilary is pure evil. This women gives me chills.

    Emails: Donna Brazile gave town hall question to Clinton camp in advance


    37
    By Joe Concha - 10/11/16 02:27 PM EDT

    Former CNN contributor and current Democratic National Committee interim chairwoman Donna Brazile provided the Hillary Clinton campaign a question for a town hall event in advance, according to an email dump by WikiLeaks.

    In an email dated March 12, 2016, Brazile — a CNN political analyst and DNC vice chair at the time — wrote to Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri with a heads up on a question about the candidate’s stance on the death penalty with the subject header: "From time to time I get the questions in advance."

    The Democratic presidential primary event with Clinton and Bernie Sanders was held the following day, March 13, and an audience member asked her the question about the death penalty. The event was hosted by Roland Martin and Jake Tapper, also host of CNN's "State of the Union" and "The Lead."

    Brazile, who was a CNN contributor at the time of the email, asked Palmieri about Clinton’s stance on the death penalty.

    “Here’s one that worries me about HRC,” wrote Brazile in the email.

    Palmieri wrote back: "Yes, it is one she gets asked about. Not everyone likes her answer but can share it."

    Clinton has supported the death penalty, putting her at odds with the Democratic Party's platform, though acknowledges there are issues with how it's applied. Sanders is opposed to capital punishment.

    At the town hall, she said she would like to see states or the Supreme Court move toward abolishing it but said it "could still be held in reserve" for certain federal cases, such as terrorism.

    In a statement to The Hill, CNN said, "To be perfectly clear: We have never, ever given a town hall question to anyone beforehand."

    The conversation is part of WikiLeaks' trove of emails hacked from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

    CNN suspended Brazile after she was named chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee in the wake of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's resignation at the party convention in Philadelphia in July after fallout from other leaked emails.

    Wasserman Schultz and senior DNC officials were found attempting to undermine the Sanders campaign.

    It's disgusting, Barnes. It really is. It is so bad that there is literally only one person on the planet that can make people ignore it: Trump. Honestly, I think Ted Cruz could have beaten Hillary at this point. But the disdain for Trump is so high right now (and rightfully so), unless there is video of Hillary commuting multiple murders (I don't think one murder would be enough at this point), people will stick there head in the sand.

    I don't think there's anything short of Hillary's death that could stop her from winning this election.

    Bernie v Cruz would have been a hell of an interesting (and palatable) election.

    Trump was right about one thing: Crooked Hillary is rotten to her core.

    Not only did they give her the questions beforehand, but they even told her when to smile for the cameras. Might as well have Steven Spielberg direct the next debate and have angels singing in the background each time she speaks.

    A lot of Hillary's supporters don't care. They praise her corruption and media manipulation as political savvy and think it's okay because Trump is worse. They don't care that we're on a slippery slope to becoming as brainwashed as North Korea.

    Sooner or later, the Internet will be regulated and sold to the highest bidders. Hillary will start the process. We'll be given the choice to subscribe to certain websites just like cable channels. We'll have an illusion of choice and variety, but all the websites will be under the umbrella of a few corporations. Those corporations will in turn fund all of their puppet candidates. I mean it's not even that much of a far cry from what's going on now, but it will get worse.

    I don't think Trump is worse. He is an egomaniac and immature but I don't think he's devious like Hillary as these leaked emails are showing.

    That's called net neutrality and has been a topic of debate for years and have been fought for.

    Curious, what alludes you to think that Hillary would be the one to enforce that?

    Bernie would have crushed Cruz I think. Not that I agreed with anything Bernie stood for economically but he was riding a wave of new age focus on social reform that America eats up these days. Who cares about economics? That's boring, right?

    I think Bernie crushes any GOP he went against. In fact, I think he crushes Hillary, if they didn't rig the system against him.

    I don't think he crushes any GOP. In the end he is a self admitted socialist. Does he beat Cruz or Trump? Yes. But if the Republicans would have managed to run up Rand Paul or even Kasich (just someone who is somewhat competent, I think he loses simply because, like Real said, in a general election his insane economic policies would have collapsed.

    Not that I don't doubt that stuff happens, but that video also sounds like a bunch of conspiracy theories.

    The problem with conspiracy theories is that some are true.

    But it's not a conspiracy when people are saying what they do directly, as they do in that video. I'd like to know how that video can be faked
