Maybe don't push your political agenda for a day or two $%^#face.

Starting a war of WMDs that were never found based on intel that was sketchy was pretty bad. Nixon had a lot of people around him who took the fall. He could have ridden it out given today's apathy. You just persevere to the next news cycle and all is well. Benghazi lasted what...2 weeks of drama and then forgotten.

Lazy argument. It won't stick because blame doesn't stick today unless it's something titillating. John Edwards's love child. Weiner (never doesn't make me laugh like Butthead) dick pics.

Got this text today from the WSJ. Turmoil is the best time to invest, assuming you make the right bets. Soros can afford to make a few wrong ones. I wonder if he has access to any insider info.

In today's world, Nixon rides out the impeachment process with ease. Accountability for actions and words died somewhere after Nixon and the surgeons called it after the Saddam war/WMD zero accountability debacle. Since then, no one takes the blame and no one takes a fall unless it's for texting dick pics. Unless Hillary was selling nuclear secrets to Bin Laden by email, she's not going to get in trouble.

Do you believe any of this will stick? Mind you the question is not whether the investigation will turn up evidence of bad acts...but just whether it will stick. I don't think the public cares about people's records or what they say in this cycle. This election is just about riding one or the other jackass over the finish line no matter what they say. I don't agree with Bernie on the economy even a little but I'm pulling for him to complete the hail mary.

Not as bad as the Sanders interview where he showed zero grasp of the economy. Hillary isn't proposing to do anything different than Obama--which is why that's not an easy question for her. I don't know why she evaded except that's just in her nature.

The possible leader of the free world.

He is, according to the Fox and ABC polls, and all the momentum.

The leading presidential candidate makes a racist comment about a judge. You post an article about how bias leaks into the judiciary. The two are not related and it's this mental gymnastics that is an embarassment to the Republicans as they attempt to accept their nominee. Don't worry: The Bernie supporters feel your pain this morning. Their #HillYes hashtags will be hard to tweet but they're coming. Johnson looked better before I started looking harder and listening to him speak (the guy is a long ways from confidence inspiring). But if he's got a shot at 10%, I'm in. Pulling the lever for Trump is a 0% possibility for me. Only Trump's mouth in the next 5 months can convince me to vote for Hillary. I just worry about Trump so much that occasionally I get pulled to the possibility of a Clinton vote. At least with her I'd know the pain to come. I'm 0-fer in presidential votes since 1992. Hate to break a streak.

I don't struggle to "get it" in the same way I don't struggle to understand why my wife needs a new dress for every event. I observe it. It doesn't harm me.* I move on. *I pay my credit card bill.

Watching people, including Republican leadership, defend/dodge Trump's comments is high theater. Keep up the good work.

Clinton already has a video up of all the Republicans denouncing Trump's comments on the judge. Trump is the kind of racist who isn't even smart enough to fake not being racist. You don't think Trump's remarks about the judge are racist?

I hope you're right, but he's got all the momentum and media, plus he puts a few states in play that weren't in previous cycles. In an election where a lot of people will stay home, don't underestimate Trump's ability to court blue collar Dems to his cause.

There are a lot of issues for both candidates. Trump's open racism play is also one. Clinton's Benghazi performance is one. For you, everything harkens back to Hillary and Benghazi. We get it.

Agree with everything but the underlined. The media hammering has no affect. He's not a candidate where people care what he stands for, or that his only skill is media manipulation. He's not a candidate running on issues and his crap reputation means nothing. His supporters don't care what he is and the people going into backbends to defend him here (with the exception of the few knuckledraggers who actually like him) are mostly just in anti-Hillary mode. You better get used to President Trump. I'm starting to steel myself for the nightmare to come, and the future elections it portends.

On both points, you have no idea and neither do I. I'm a parent. There are times when I'm not watching my child. I have no idea if the child got into the moat in 15 seconds of inattention or 3 minutes. Harambe could have killed the boy in 2 seconds at any point. The child was in mortal danger from the moment he fell in. Sure maybe the gorilla was not going to do harm but no one knows. The zoo made the better of two crappy choices. Mom, zoo, child should all go their separate ways. That said, lawsuit probably happening.

Moronic parenting videos are spreading. I could have jumped into any one of a million cages in the Buffalo zoo in the 1970s when my parents were letting me roam pretty free. I just didn't.

Only for my family's life. Other lives I wouldn't care about. I wonder if the mom could have jumped in.

Hard core Libertarians don't live in reality but Johnson is still an appealing candidate. My in-laws who are a hard core Republican and a hard core Democrat both refuse to vote for Trump or Clinton and have decided to throw down with Johnson. It's a shocking moment from a pair of 70 year old party lifers.

I know loads of Bernie supporters in their 40s and 50s. Hillary has a huge problem. She's got the nomination sewed up but not with anything like the authority she hopes.

We'll soon see if Ryan has balls or a vagina, but I agree: He's already sold his soul.

And when he's on ignore, you don't see his posts. It didn't need a sentence break. At best, we now have two responses requesting a comma after the word bingo. A stylistic choice. The comma slows down the thought.

You never heard "We have a bingo?" Part of a WNY Catholic upbringing. That makes zero sense. You put him on ignore and don't respond. It's not that hard. The problem comes when you, Tom, Jim, and the gang respond to his every post, which then pollutes the threads. I have no interest in ignoring you...until you engage with Gator and then I am reading more blather.

We have a bingo though in fairness to GG, he's just one of the many people feeding him.
