    The one talking the most in that video was fired yesterday after it hit the net.

    Supposed to be another video dropping today.

    And I don't doubt the type of tactics that she employs.

    But, if the work they were doing was so "secretive", why would they blatantly meet someone and discuss what they are doing?

    You would think someone as detailed as Clinton would put in a confidentiality agreement behind that type of stuff.

    If they didn't do it, why did he get fired?

    We don't know the details of who the person filming is. It's not the narrator. I think we can assume the person filming was not just a random guy coming off the street asking a bunch of questions, and the other guy just gives up all the shady info.

    The Clinton campaign absolutely had an NDA in place, but you would have to provide details if you thought you were speaking to someone that needed to know the info because they were on "on your side" or working for the same cause high up in the ranks. Obviously they talked to the wrong person. And remember, they said they've been setting this up for a year.

    As awful as it is what we just heard...

    I think that's American (and really global) politics at play. People expect that sort of thing now. Weren't most of us saying the DNC is probably planting some of these people in Trump rallies?

    What's equally sad is I'm sure the reverse is being attempted as well.

    The revolution must be coming soon. It must. We need to change the status quo.

    You talking about Bob Creamer? Wow.

    I was waiting for that shoe to drop honestly. Everyone in these videos is about to get fired. What's scary is that they're just going to be replaced by new guys doing the exact same thing.

    Tranceparency isn't the problem here. Hiring people to create fake controversy to slander the republicans is the problem. Of course they're not going to be transparent about that.

    Trump announced today he wants to have a Constitutional Amendment: term limits on Congress.

    I AM ALL FOR THIS!!!!

    What do you guys think is appropriate? I'd be cool with 2 or 3 terms. Nothing more than that.

    Here is my thinking on the two candidates. I have friends and acquaintances who say and do stupid things. Some might even call them idiots. However, none of my friends or people I associate with are criminals. Do I want an idiot for President? No. Not at all. But I'll never vote for a criminal to run our country. I just can't.

    2 terms max. That's it.

    I've been advocating that for years now. How can they be truly for the people? How can they show urgency? They have no incentive to do anything because they're basically a tenured position. They hand themselves more money, they sit on their a**es and control our lives, but nothing happens to them. They're not held accountable. If we need a new President ever 8 years why shouldn't we need a new Congress ever 8 years?

    Really tame. Overall I think it was a stalemate with a slight edge to Hillary. Trump had a few good substantive attacks on her, but she generally was able to deflect or change topics pretty well. On a few of those, Hillary was set up for a good attack but Trump just fumbled it.

    Trump brings up significant finding from WikiLeak. Hillary deflects and says Russia is behind the hacks and Trump is Putin's puppet. Trump proceeds to slobber Putin's nuts for the next few minutes. No more talk about the content of the leaks.

    Great debate overall in terms of good moderation and unbiased questions.

    Barring a major leak (Assange has been teasing election changing leaks for a while, but I think he's full of crap and just trying to build hype for himself), Hillary has the election in the bag.
