Sure, I'm jaded, but it blew my mind when people buy into political rhetoric ala "hope and change" and think it's real.

"Hope and Change" isn't materially different from "Make America Great Again." People have felt like the system is broken for generations, and have voted for change for generations. Obama had his hippy trippy poster and Trump has his hat.

I'm afraid a Trump presidency will bring far more than incremental change. He could take us downward on the corkscrew real fast - esp foreign relation wise. His mouth could get us into big trouble. Domestically, if he gets his way with tariffs we could be stepping into the elevator shaft wtout the elevator.

Frankly, I think she should resign the nomination and quit public life. I'd be a lot happier if she did and I never had to hear the name Hillary Clinton again.

Maybe they're from the recipient?

That's the thing that always got me about this investigation. Emails have a delivery point & an end point. Those deleted emails are somewhere else, not just on Hillary's private server.

Maybe they found who the emails were sent TO, and subpoenaed them? But then, why does that come out now after the investigation is closed?

Oh...so true.

BUUUT....then we end up with the village idiot.

This election is giving me bi-polar disorder.

I am so with you on that one brother. (Trump can show himself to be a good sport, and step aside also. Kind of like in HS basketball. One teams goal breaks during pregame and the other team doesn't do their pre-game drills to keep it even - actually saw this in S.Dak BB) Is it possible for her to step down and any one voting for her - their vote is for Tim Kaine. I'm not sure what would happen if lets say someone died right before the election (not wishing that on anyone) but I wonder what happens in that case.

The first sentence here goes back to what I was saying about Pence in another thread - Kaine was not vetted by the people in the Primaries and should not be president in that situation.

I'm not sure what happens in the event of your second sentence. Four more years of Obama?

True again on the vetting. Maybe Obama & congress say, lets punt for 6 months - each party come up wt new candidates and we'll go at it again. There probably something in the constitution or some obscure regulation that addresses it.

Here is what I found when I googled it

I still remember Repubs arguing that somehow Clinton's attachment to Weiner vis a vis Abedin were somehow a disqualifier since he was somehow a liability to national security.

Well, I guess we'll wait and see if that's the case. I still think that's a pretty scummy argument to try and make. Kind of like how Hillary is an abuser of women because Bill.

Boy, if you're a Democrat Party apparatchik, how much do you hate Anthony Weiner right now?

Supposedly Hillary had been trying to convince Huma to leave him years ago for personal as well as professional reasons.

For all the people who believe the Clintons kill people who get in their way ... don't you think they would have taken care of him a long time ago?
