101. There is a total of ONE email regarding the embassy

which was useless due to structural damage. Yup, a total of ONE email. I see you did pay inordinate attention to the hearings though. And you keep admitting you care shit for policy while saying you do. This is actually funny.

And you will not find that document in the NYT... you literally have to overhear heads of local republican parties, or hopefully Rience Priebus will say it with a hot mike. But if you missed the 1990s cottage hate industry, you must be too young.

Every person I know who is somewhat connected (or well connected) to BOTH parties, knows this. It is like the worst kept secret in DC.

You know it is bad when you can hear this away from the beltway. Which we have.

And I am not talking about the polls, which at this point, for all sides are meaningless. I am talking about facts once again. I am sorry, but we are not partisan, and we work with facts. The fact is... Republicans are salivating, becuase it gets the base really activated. It is not just red meat, it is filet mignon al tartar to the base.

On the bright side, if she gets the nom, unlike you, they are aware of this. And I am writing IF, because we still have a primary to go through.

Well, that's an interesting disclosure. Odd that you previously referred to that one email as DanTex Jun 2015 #112

These responses to you are full of facts nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #115

If you say so! I guess your definition of "facts" is different too. DanTex Jun 2015 #123

Actually those who I know who are interested in facts nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #124

Yes, the "loop": that's where Republicans would rather run against Hillary than Bernie DanTex Jun 2015 #132

Oh it is adorable nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #138

To be fair, it's kind of hard discussing the "facts" since you're not allowed to share them with DanTex Jun 2015 #156

I would agree with you if there were a viable non-Hillary candidate like we had in 08. DanTex Jun 2015 #142

Let's be honest. Chan790 Jun 2015 #146

Yes it is. Still, we have to make sure we beat them. DanTex Jun 2015 #155

Maybe it's because now there are a couple of other candidates running for the Democratic Autumn Jun 2015 #163

Or maybe she's not the strongest candidate after all, and needs to come up with actual policy Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #190
