Where did you go Hillary?  Why? Forget running for office, any office.  She should be in a federal prison for treason.





 

Bee- I think it has come to a head because Merkel holds a lot more influence than others who have complained.

She'll be back, already working behind the scenes,
no one's accountable it seems.

Benghazi,
ever really wonder why?

What will 2016 bring, besides more of the same.
 

Here's an indication as to the ignorance and stupidity of the American public.  According to this poll for instance, Hillary leads the way in terms of public support by a mile at 64%, with Biden her at a distant 11%.  It is normal for polls to have a margin of error, but these results in no way can be misconstrued as such.  I am almost at a loss for words.  Do people simply not care, or are they simply that stupid?

I think it is more likely they are stupid. If they didn't care they wouldn't bother taking the poll. The other thing is, Hillary has this incredible fan base. For some reason the people who like Hillary, pretty much feel she can do no wrong. There have been years more of her exposure to increase her fan base. Biden—who really knew him until he was choosen as Obama's running mate? Not me for sure, and I pretty much am in the "don't care for politics much" camp most of the time. 

What can anyone even think of as a "Biden" accomplishment. I know he has a GSD, and not much else! 

TBH, if you look at the poll, things aren't markedly better on the GOP side, except to say that they may not have the blood on their hands that Hillary does.  BTW - how was your art exhibit?

Polls are lies, manipulation.
Now I'll finish reading .

Oh well,
too hard to concentrate...too much on PBS grabbing my attention, first about Kennedy, now the Universe.
I'll have to get back  to this later.

I did look at the poll. I have never been a Hillary fan but she always manages to pop back up on top, just when I think she's done for. 

This art opening was very special! Believe it or not— it is somewhat topical for this thread, lol, as it is directly tied into Pres. Obama's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. The museum event honored the artist, Chuck Close and the work he has done with "his Turnaraound Kids". This is where an inner city middle school is mentored at and by the man himself. Truly inspiring. I don't think the kids even know what a super opportunity they have been given. He brought them to his studio in Manhattan! What really made it special was seeing the joy of the parents too, the kids, heck the Mayor was there! Some actress too, but I wasn't too familiar with her so I don't remember her name. Their art was displayed right along with his own. What an amazing thing. For me, any way! LOL

Moons, yes, polling can easily be used to manipulate, but it's been an invaluable tool for science as well as politics, and as such, there has arisen the science of interpreting those results, and accounting for error.  In this case, we're not looking at a single sample, or homogenous sources necessarily.  I also have no reason to doubt that this reflects the sentiment of many Americans.
