Trump is more of a wild card. His positions are harder to pin down coming from the private sector. I often resist challenging a customer when I think it will do no good and could cause me to lose business. Bernie is a known commodity. I think he was there to make it look like Hillary had to fight for the nomination and help her hone her debate skills. The polls after New Hampshire will be interesting. Bernie seems like he will fade quickly.

"I can't imagine any Democrats expected Sanders to make a serious run for the nomination."
He's our Donald Trump.

I think the system is abused to classify everything to avoid public scrutiny. That does not excuse mishandling classified materials at all. I'm saying in addition to the risk of the information falling into the wrong hands, I think these officials use private e-mail to avoid public scrutiny.

I can't imagine any Democrats expected Sanders to make a serious run for the nomination. If Hillary is indicted I doubt the party elders would try to win a national campaign with Bernie. Lots going on but it means little cause they all suck.

Any way to remand this to the Military Justice Court system? It is national security.

I fear that much of this won't come about until their are no more handouts.

The old adage about the problem with Socialism.

That evil hag knows plenty of enablers has her back as she blathers hr BS away.
And the same goes for the army of zombie Dimofwit voters she has in the bag many bleating her own question, "Don't you want a first female president?"
Should she become president, I imagine sexist cards will be pulled against her policy critics.

I think this quote is accurate--Thoreau says to Emerson "Simplify Simplify Simplify". Emerson says "ONE Simplify would have been enough"
TERM LIMITS
Why can't this get grass roots traction? They will never do it to themselves.
I know-Kerry is not elected-but this culture is mind numbing. Hillary is accused of taking over $600K from Goldman Sachs. OK, free market. I think Ted Crews' wife works at Goldman.
We need out of the beltway, fiscally responsible, business experienced men and women-not looking for a government job to serve-and go home. Atlas just puked on Kerry's Gucci's.

My point exactly. If that is what they are working to do, I'd rather have them not working at all!

Ed Klein has documented how there is no love lost between the Obamas and the Clintons, but the power of both decreases with a Republican in the White House. Both are vying for control of the Democratic Party. But the Clinton Foundation isn't going to be worth much as political war chest if Hillary isn't the nominee this year. She's not getting any younger and her looks are going downhill as fast as the scandals keep piling up. Okay - maybe not as fast as the scandals. ;)

Biden just dithered about and then his son died. By the time Biden got back to thinking about politics, the decision was made. Warren didn't want to go toe-to-toe with Clinton, preferring to be able to play the woman card like Hillary has. (Of course she's going to get panned bigtime for playing the phony Native American card.) I'll bet that O'Malley was paid by the Clintons to get in the race and then bow out exactly as he's done in order to get his name recognition up for a run in eight years or so.

that is what they do!

I think Obama hates Hillary. He would have no trouble throwing her under the bus. My thinking was that Obama wanted Biden to run and he would get Hillary out of the way. Biden would serve one term then Elizabeth Warren would run. When Joe decided not to run he was faced with the Clinton wing taking over the party again or giving the Republicans the 2016 election. i still don't think he made up his mind.

I agree. Handouts are a bit attraction these days

The issue of course is that this places the Obama Administration in a very difficult position. They either have to cover for one of their own and take the political heat which comes from it, or they have to throw her to the wolves with the very real possibility that they lose the Presidential election.

If only the possibility of convictions were real! If Dems retain power then the Att'y General won't prosecute. If the Reps gain the presidency they might try to prosecute, but then one of these things will happen:

1) The Dems will find or invent some Republicans who did something as bad or worse

2) The Reps will realize that if they prosecute then the next time Dems are in power they'll start prosecuting Republicans.

Neither side will be inclined to break the unwritten rule that they don't enforce the rules on each other. They may make a tremendous amount of noise and have investigations and committee hearings, but in the end they'll pretend there was no intent (as if that matters) or that the laws that were broken aren't important enough to worry about.

Years ago CT sent its governor, John Rowland, to federal prison. He was corrupt to the core and had broken lots of laws and was charged with numerous counts of very serious crimes. In the end he was convicted of the least important charge, akin to parking on the street during a snow ban, and the rest were dropped. He took a federal vacation for a little over a year.

The reasons that she's given publicly for wanting her own mail server vs using Dept of State email are completely baffling to me, and my job for the last 30 years deals directly with that sort of stuff. In other words, she spouted a line of bullshit that was blatantly non-sensical instead of giving the real reason.

Although I think Hillary will be indicted, it is a major long shot. The FBI can only refer this to DOJ. Then, a Grand Jury, Then an indictment, all and the will of the Administration. Good luck. but, if this happens, mass resignation, and furor will cloud the FBI for years. And ruin all semblance of justice from the DOJ for decades.

I'd love to get rid of the unions and their influence in government as well. We'd need another Reagan, however (remember the Air Traffic Controller strike?)

The longer she can keep getting away with things, the more she will try to do. We only need a small percentage of the people to wake up and begin demanding accountability to sway her prosecution. My fear is that we will run out of time and that people will be more interested in handouts.

and they're always right -- just ask 'em! -- j

I would argue that if it were a working government, it wouldn't be trying to:

A) restrict the freedom and liberty of its citizens
B) ignore division of powers through the creation of laws by either the executive or judicial branches
C) tax and regulate the citizens to death
D) authorize spending with money we don't have

Of course, that's just little-old, naive, ideological me... ;)

The sobering reality is that the entire government is corrupt, including all of the unelected "civil servants." Even if we could immediately throw out all of the elected officials, the stench would only be mildly relieved. Nothing short of a complete cleansing of all those who receive taxpayer compensation for labor would begin to correct the problem. Banning labor unions from government would also be necessary. Unfortunately I'm skeptical that anything short of a revolution that turns out the entire government force will be effective. I would hope that such an overthrow of government could happen as a result of non-violent civil disobedience, but with the power that government is likely to apply to resist such an effort, violent resistance may be inevitable.

Hillary is a lying, manipulative, and evil woman. But she has powerful friends who protect her. Hopefully she will make a mistake they cant afford to protect her from.

Good +1 points. Instead of being email stupid, evil and lazy would forego security requirements imposed to save lives just to save her highness some PC time.
All in all, Benghazi Killary is a dangerous sociopath, who already has blood on her hands.
I'm also thinking of how she protected her future political career plus eight First Lady years by harassing women her hubby had raped or had affairs with.
