"She's just a liar. I mean she's been a liar from day one, for many, many years, and people are just wise to her now I think." Donald J. Trump disagreed with Hillary Clinton's assertion she had no knowledge of the emails leaked in a hack of the DNC. 1 Like |

After reading what prospective Democrat VP candidates had to go through during the vetting process, let me know if you think it sounds normal. Correction: not just ‘VP candidates,’ but their families, also. They had to turn over every password for every social media account for every member of their families. They had to list every piece of property they’d ever owned, and copies of every résumé that they’d put out for the past 10 years. Every business partner. Every gift they’d ever received, according to those familiar with the details of the vetting process. For the finalists in the hunt to be Hillary Clinton’s running mate, it was five weeks of questions and follow-up, and follow-up to the follow-up questions, starting from when they were summoned one-by-one to meet with campaign chairman John Podesta and lawyer Jim Hamilton and told to bring along just one trusted person who’d serve as the point of contact. Last Friday was interview day at Clinton’s D.C. home, the final exam that some of the VP candidates had spent weeks with their staffs preparing their pitches for. Clinton, with Podesta seated nearby as the only other one in the room, would start the session by talking them up. Then she’d ask: “Why do you want the job?” It was a simple end to a complicated process, one that concluded with Clinton tapping Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her choice for the Democratic vice presidential nominee. She didn’t call all the finalists herself last night, once the decision was made and the meticulous plans were put into action. Some got word from Podesta, who’d only say that they’d decided “to go in a different direction.” He called the congressional leadership to tell them it was Tim Kaine. And he called Bernie Sanders. She didn’t. Kaine also made a call to Sanders. The Virginia senator was never on the Friday schedule for the meetings with the others. The night before, after the pair had campaigned together in Northern Virginia, she’d invited him back to her house for what her campaign calls an “informal” conversation, but that 90 minutes together served as the interview—and Saturday, he and his wife headed to the Clintons’ Chappaqua, New York, home for lunch with all the Clintons to see how they’d all get along. 1 Like |

The new interim head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has a colorful history, which includes demanding former President George H.W. Bush confess to an extramarital affair and a belief that “white boys” shouldn’t be allowed to win. In 1988, Brazile was working for Michael Dukakis’ presidential campaign when she made an ill-fated decision to believe an unsubstantiated rumor about George H.W. Bush having an extramarital affair. “George Bush owes it to the American people to fess up,” Brazile said. “The American people have every right to know if Barbara Bush will share that bed with him in the White House.” “[It’s not a] gender or race, it’s an attitude. A white-boy attitude is ‘I must exclude, denigrate and leave behind,” Brazile told the Post in 1999. “They don’t see it or think about it. It’s a culture.” Yikes… That’s what the Democrats have to look forward to? Nothing like a little racism to spice things up a little. This party is absolutely lost. Sinking fast… 2 Likes |

It is absolutely ridiculous how hard the Democrats are pandering during their convention right now. There really is no limit as to how far they will go in that regard. One of the highlights was a standing ovation for the daughter of illegal immigrants. 1 Like |

After WikiLeaks published 20,000 emails sent to and from the Democratic National Committee revealed nobody except Hillary Clinton had a chance to earn the nomination, former head Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned. The emails also showed the media colluded with the DNC to push Clinton and shun competitor Bernie Sanders. Now, Schultz is finding herself up a creek without a paddle. 3 Likes |

She knows her friends don't buy that, she was just throwing steak to the dogs. She didn't believe in this country, but she had no choice than to say that after so many have been questioning their patriotism for 8 years and now has to campaign for the most dishonest woman in American politics. You know it's not easy putting a thief to watch over money. stanech: |

And that Elizabeth Warren that looks like badly skewed fish on fire is now saying what Trump has been saying all along that the system is "rigged" but forgot to say they democrats are responsible. If not for republicans, this country would have just been a little better than Africa. Just take a look at cities where democrats are mayors, walking during the day in certain areas can earn you a bullet in the neck. stanech: |

Americans can see clearly now and won't say they didn't know. They know whose loyalty lies with the American people and who has left American secret out to protect her own and who has been receiving money from terrorist nations and probably sold favor. stanech: |

None! And even Bernie Sanders who was beaten alongside black people during civil rights movement is sidelined for Clinton who has never done anything for blacks but called black boys "young predators". You just wonder what's in these people's heads. It will forever be on record that blacks rejected the man who was almost killed because of them. Missy89: |
