8. I doubt the mistake will be made

I think it's just frustration. The primary voting is not over until the convention.

And frankly, as for me, anyone supporting a republican needs to say so long. That's the way it has been, and should be, on DU.

Tho there used to be a lot of posters who got away with protecting bushco for years.

2. Not sure what that means.

If I conclude that a Trump presidency might have certain good features, am I allowed to mention those features? I think we will receive further instructions as the primaries wrap up.

15. That would be unfortunate.

Let's say, for example, that Trump comes out against the death penalty. That would make his position on that particular issue better than Clinton's position. Would we be allowed to say so? Would we be banned for telling the truth? I can't see it going quite that far, although one never knows.

16. That's my question. The FBI and IC IG may issue their reports "after the voting ends"

Does that mean we can't discuss those findings if they're negative @ Hillary?

Because it will be big news that will affect the campaign. Will the findings be able to even be reported? In LBN or the Sanders group? 

Sticking one's head in the sand @ this is a monumental mistake. There's been some Hillary supporters who have begun to understand the unease and why this matters. Will they be forbidden from discussing this? 

Trump and the Republicans are going to hammer this. Having accurate facts to counter this will be critical but in the current interpretation of "supporting" Hillary during the campaign, this issue appears to be officially treated as a giant CT because Hillary says so.

13. In other words even if the FBI report recommends indictment, we're not allowed to

say anything negative about Hillary because even a corrupt Democrat is better than Trump. What are they going to do if there is an indictment? What happens if the party decides to drop Hillary and instate someone else like Biden? Will that mean that Hillary supporters will not be allowed to advocate for Hillary over Biden? I am so glad we have JPR.

14. Well if we are worried about Trump, we know which candidate does better running against him.

how that FACT is ignored. Who's pretending?

I'm not too worried. The FBI WILL recommend indictment BEFORE July and when that happens, reality will hit some people upside the head. Clinton will be out. Bernie will be the nominee and CRUSH Trump in the GE.

PEACE
LOVE
