Thanks for the wiki... that just saved me reading through all those pages.

[hachover]

Wow... I am thrilled that I made the wiki (though I'm surprised that I came across that way)

[Freddie]

JJ's wiki should win a freaking Pulitzer.

It's TPP.

Also it doesn't make sense to give equal weighting to issues that are of less importance.
Add a column for importance.

feel free to edit,
my point was that people get lost/infected by the media news, on side issues and you forget what  you want and based on that you should vote (its in JS bcz our votes mostly dont matter anyhow so...)

A more articulate elaboration of what I have been saying here, but not sure if I agree with his characterization of 1998-99. I was out of the country during most of that episode. I would also consider Dem's blind defense of IRS and Clinto email more relevant to that.

See the article for context.

Coup Coup G'joo
James Taranto, WSJ

It’s curious that in his coup piece Kirchick never mentions the obvious political remedies for the hypothetical crisis—congressional oversight and, if worse comes to worst, impeachment (against which Trump purchased no insurance when he chose a solid, conventional politician as his running mate).
Mrs. Clinton, by contrast, would be unimpeachable, though not in the more common sense of that term. House and Senate Democrats made clear in 1998-99 that they will not remove a President Clinton from office for abuse of power. In addition to her party’s congressional caucuses, she could generally count on support from most of the media and the administrative state and very soon, given the current vacancy and the actuarial tables, from the Supreme Court. All of these institutions would tend to be adversarial toward Trump in the event that he abused presidential power.
That is why, even though (and also because) Trump is more unpredictable than Mrs. Clinton, we find her more worrisome. And while we can imagine a situation in which a military coup would be preferable to the alternative—as we could in September 2015—we rate the probability of such a scenario very low, the presidential nominees notwithstanding.

Very cute

Very cute

+1 but he sounding more and more like a 5 year old (and I'll probably still vote for him. That's how bad our options are)

[Moshe123]

Clinton+10 in Fox News poll. She's outperforming Obama '12 in every major cat, including whites without a degree https://t.co/hB0s4TSKYo

I don't get it. She pretty clearly says, we aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class. The poster seems to have mistaken that for 'are'.

Well I heard the opposite pretty clearly.

it's about what she says before that.

I heard "are" the first time, but you're right, it's clearly aren't.

[Baruch]

I heard "are" the first time, but you're right, it's clearly aren't.

I also heard "are" first. I think it's because we read the title of the video before hearing it.
