    First of all, the idea that the public picks the party's candidates is, and always was, a myth. Political parties are private institututions, not part of government. There was no such thing as a primary election before the 20th Century, and the Constitution does not guarantee rights for selecting candidates in parties.

    Second. Hillary is far more reliable from a foreign policy standpoint, that the ignorant, venal and thin skinned Mr. Trump is. Trump will bluster his way into a foreign policy crisis within his first six months, and he'll bungle it from sheer arrogance and total incompetence.

    Donald Trump will never be invited to Davos. Hillary has been going there for years.

    The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy was an alleged effort by the People's Republic of China to influence domestic American politics prior to and during the Clinton administration and also involved the fund-raising practices of the administration itself.

    While questions regarding the U.S. Democratic Party's fund-raising activities first arose over a Los Angeles Times article published on September 21, 1996,[1] China's alleged role in the affair first gained public attention when Bob Woodward and Brian Duffy of The Washington Post published a story stating that a United States Department of Justice investigation into the fund-raising activities had uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before the 1996 presidential campaign. The journalists wrote that intelligence information had shown the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNC[2] in violation of United States law forbidding non-American citizens or non-permanent residents from giving monetary donations to United States politicians and political parties. A Republican investigator of the controversy stated the Chinese plan targeted both presidential and congressional United States elections, while Democratic Senators said the evidence showed the Chinese targeted only congressional elections.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_United_States_campaign_finance_controversy

    WASHINGTON, May 11— A Democratic fund-raiser who has pleaded guilty to campaign-related bank and tax fraud told a House panel today that he met in 1996 with a high-ranking Chinese intelligence official who promised him $300,000 for use in the Presidential election and said, ''We really like your President.''

    Recounting a tale of intrigue with mysterious meetings at smoky restaurants, hotel lounges and karaoke bars in Hong Kong, the fund-raiser, Johnny Chung, provided his first public account of his experiences, from 1994 to 1996, as he traveled the Far East prospecting for business clients eager for access to the Clinton Administration.

    In testimony today to the Government Reform Committee, Mr. Chung said he had met several times with the chief of China's military intelligence agency, Gen. Ji Shengde, who directed that the $300,000 be wired to Mr. Chung's account in Hong Kong for use as contributions to President Clinton's campaign.

    Here's another with Hillary mentioned..

    The scandal was an apparent scheme by the Clinton administration to sell seats on taxpayer-funded trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign.

    Judicial Watch began an investigation and Clinton administration officials deliberately concealed and destroyed records regarding the trade mission and testimony was falsified.

    Nolanda Hill, a business partner and confidante of the Clinton then-Commerce Secretary Ron Brown testified in a court hearing during the litigation that the Clinton White House told Brown to “delay the [Judicial Watch] case by withholding the production of documents prior to the 1996 elections and to devise a way not to comply with the court’s orders.”

    She also testified that Brown, who died in a plane crash during a trade mission to Bosnia, told her that Hillary conceived of the scheme to sell trade mission seats. Brown complained of being “Hillary’s blankety-blank tour guide.”

    Your response falls flat on one key point.

    Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primaries even without super delegates, and did so convincingly.

    The fact that she was favored by the Party establishment is the only distinguishing feature that separates her victory from that of Trump.

    Trump was, and is, still widely hated in the GOP. He is a venal con man, and totally untrustworty. Wall Street won't lend on his construction projects much less invest in his campaign. They know exactly who he is. Speaker after speaker last week could barely bring themselves to mention Trump's name.

    The will of an energized minority can wreak havoc on an out of control primary process. That's how Trump emerged. He was not, and never will be, the "will of the people" At least not the will of any normal person residing outside of Limbaughlooneyland.

    Unless and until they are revealed, it's speculation and a cheap deflection on your part.

    If they do in fact exist and it becomes known, you can rest assured knowing that the democrats posing as reporters will beat that drum for at least the next 20 years.

    It's good to be a democrat.

    I remember. This amounted to nothing.

    Judicial Watch was founded and financed by shadowy right wing billionare Richard Mellon Scaife, who bankrolled the "vast right wing conspiracy". Ken Starr was on his payroll. So was conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, whose attack screeds were marketed through Scaife controlled Regnary Press, often bulk sold to right wing websites like NewsMax (Scaife) and others as giveaways in order to artificially push sales figures to get them a place in the New York Times bestseller list (that is until the Times started tracking and noting bulk sales).

    Would she have won so convincingly if the DNC was not manipulating the system in her favor, from the very outset? I doubt she would have. In fact, everything the DNC was doing was to inflate Clinton's numbers and deflate Sanders. That was the very REASON they did it; to ensure a Clinton victory, no matter what.

    Your opinion that the DNC cheating Sanders is OK because Hillary probably would have won anyway, is not very convincing for me. If I were a Sanders supporter, your message above would be infuriating. So.... good luck with that.

    I knew the Repubs were getting a little on the crazy side, but I didn't realize how far off the rails they've gone. Great buds with Russia and Putin now. Sticking up for rapists. Thought they had hit rock bottom but I guess there is no bottom they can hit. They just keep going lower and getting more vile. They selected the perfect candidate to represent them.

    The DOC changed its trade mission policy which abandoned all political contributions affecting mission seats.

    Finally, in 2006, without any fanfare, an appellate court upheld an award of 900,000 to Judicial Watch.

    I'm not obsessed with Alinsky like you conservatives are. I have no clue what rule 5 is. But sometimes you just got to accept who you are. If you like a rapist just accept it and say, as long as he's posting bad things about the political party I don't like, I don't care who he rapes. That would make you guys seem at least a little credible.

    Obviously the RNC isn't so "reckless" and stupid as Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

    What do you suppose the PURPOSE of the DNC manipulating the system, was? Do you think they went to all that trouble for nothing? lol They poisoned Sanders campaign from the outset for purposes of ensuring Clinton would be the nominee no matter what.... and it worked. <-- THIS is the PERCEPTION you will have to defeat.

    Hillary Clinton OPENLY wants NATO to literally go to war against Russia. Putin has obvious reasons to oppose the insane old woman out to prove her power by killing billions of people. Hillary's war would Russia would cause so much death and destruction that the remaining Americans still alive would be under total dictatorial law by Clinton - giving her what she wants: absolute total power. And she would kill a billion people to get it.

    Well I'd say that the American people are tired of that convention of crony capitalism, as evidenced by the popularity of both Trump AND Sanders. The Constitution DOES say government is by the people and for the people, and these private organizations have lost track of that in lining their own pockets.

    Clinton has no reliability, other than reliably using her office to her own benefit. She has earned nothing, first as Bill's wife and then being given the post of SoS by Obama as a consolation prize....one for which she had no qualifications for, at all.

    What did she accomplish? Nothing except making herself rich, toppling a few countries, ignoring the law, and pushing an agenda. She is not, and has never been, a public servant.

    Trump isn't even president yet and we already have better relations with Russia. He's done more outside the government than those in it have done their entire lives.

    Yeah I'm sure the Swiss will simply not invite the President. You and I both know they will.

    They didn't manipulate anything, lol. Only the crazies think those emails had any role in the public voting. Even Bernie Sanders is over it.

    "Hillary Clinton must be the next President."

    You guys should listen to him since you care so much about him now, lol.

    When you have no other argument, resort to ridicule. Congratulations, you've graduated from Alinsky U.

    Bill ain't hiding from anyone. If people have a charge, bring it. Otherwise he's innocent. That wimpy freak Assange is stuck in an Ecuadorian Embassy hiding because he knows he's going to jail for raping underage girls. Gross, I can't believe how much you guys look up to this guy.

    Sanders has a gun to his head vis the platform concessions he's been gifted.

    The Sandernistas are and will remain POed. They were cheated, defrauded.
