He didn't confirm Newt. Christie and Newt are both being vetted.

Oh, would you look at this! And just like that, we have a giant list of losers:

[IggyChooChoo]

Oh, would you look at this! And just like that, we have a giant list of losers:

If Trump really is dumb enough to pick Newt, then frankly we are all winners.

 

[sphagnum]

Gingrich is one of those names that just sounds revolting.

 

[Plinko]

Oh my.

I refuse to get excited until it happens.

 

[Muzy72]

Is it too late to get on the VP game?

Clinton: Warren

Trump: Gingrich

 

[Sibylus]

Will Newt be Trump's cringing manservant through the campaign and white house, though?

 

[Joey Fox]

Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton meeting is so unethical. I am so pissed off how most everyone is looking the other way.

An unsecured server with classified info on it was in his house! He is being investigated therefore, by the FBI. You can not be the Attorney General and then meet with that person for a friendly chat. And that is the best case scenario; a highly unethical meeting that should lead to a Special Prosecutor or there is no doubt of this government's corruption (in the minds of those who appreciate facts and put reason before politics).

Christie can still be his chief of staff.

 

[AntoneM]

shiiiit Have contributed $200 to local campaigns so far and we need to buy a new (used) car this weekend. Gotta help AZ turn blue though.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Didn't Sam Wang mispredict the 2014 midterm rout by a large margin though?

He ended up showing a 48-52 margin - it was mucked up by polling that showed Hagan and Orman leading in NC and KS.

His model was largely based on polling, which wasn't too terrible for Democrats until closer to the election. people following the fundamentals knew it would be a GOP route, but polling didn't back it up really until October, when his Senate model flipped to GOP control.

The last WaPo shitshow was straight from Ben Carson, which is why it wasn't worth anything. This was assembled from five insiders in the Trump campaign.

Christie can still be his chief of staff.

More like Chief of Ass

1) Bill Clinton is not being investigated by the FBI

2) Loretta Lynch is not meeting with the person she's "prosecuting" by meeting with that person's husband.

3) There is currently not a case being prosecuted.

4) Put down the Breitbart

 

[Sibylus]

Seems like a step down from a moonshot at the presidency if Trump slips on a bath duck and dies. For all that prostration and humiliation, anyway.

It goes deeper. I hear she's met with Obama on more than one occasion, too. This goes all the way to the top.

 

[watershed]

I feel like Clinton really does need to pick someone younger and possibly not white. Otherwise this election will just look awful with a bunch of old white people on both sides arguing about the future of an increasingly non-white nation with minority voters becoming a larger and larger voice. As a person of color I know I would personally like to see more than an old white woman and an old white man representing the country.

Booker probably wants to stay in the senate for a cycle to build his cred.

Well. I have always thought Christie was angling for Attorney General rather than VP.

 

[whyamihere]

So

Trump/Gingrich

vs.

Clinton/Warren

What's the total there?

I'd go with 51/41 because Gingrich is an unreasonably terrible pick.

 

[Sibylus]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall. What is worth so much, Chris?!

No, but I'm not surprised two of the first three responses I get attack the sources of news and not the facts.

All you have to do is look at how Bill's ads tied Dole to Gingrich to know how toxic a pick that would be.

 

[Ecotic]

If your name is not on the list tell me. You have till tomorrow night to be on it. Your choice is FINAL once I submit it.

Warren
Gingrich

 

[shem935]

No, but I'm not surprised two of the first three responses I get attack the sources of news and not the facts.

Well 1/3 didn't so do you have a response to that? Attacking the source of the news is also legitimate too though. Why do you think rush or breitbart is promoting the story?

Would.

I'm currently visiting the great state of Ohio and every issue I'm finding with it I'm personally blaming Kasich. Nobody I'm with knows who Kasich is

That's okay. Most people in Ohio don't know who he is either. Also, "great" and "Ohio" belong together only if there's a negative involved and/or the word "mess" is added.

If it ends up being Newt.....

I don't play poker, but I'm pretty sure two Queens beat two massive fuckheads. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Teggy]

Here's a fun Gravis poll of Florida for you.

http://www.oann.com/pollflorida/

Head to head Hillary is up 4 pts. But add in "other" and Trump gains a point and 6% go from Hillary to other.

 

[royalan]

No, but I'm not surprised two of the first three responses I get attack the sources of news and not the facts.

Correction, I attacked both your source and your facts.

 

[ampere]

No, but I'm not surprised two of the first three responses I get attack the sources of news and not the facts.

It's bad optics, but Bill always does stuff like this. He sees someone he knows, he talks to them

Obama has already endorsed Hillary. Do you think the sitting president would endorse if his AG told him there's going to be an indictment?

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I still think Trump will pick a woman. Which one I have no idea.

Pulled this off Facebook. It was written by an R. Eric Thomas about the shot of Obama and the 2 other world leaders walking through the doorway with the Mounties. Thought some of you (Adam) might enjoy it.

i think he will

 

[eBay Huckster]

But I thought he was a sensible centrist governor because Medicaid expansion

he's a stupid motherfucking asshole because columbus doesn't have passenger rail

Oh, would you look at this! And just like that, we have a giant list of losers

in my defense, I did say or Gingrich, so Neo's a big fat meanie for not counting that

 

[Joey Fox]

Well 1/3 didn't so do you have a response to that? Attacking the source of the news is also legitimate too though. Why do you think rush or breitbart is promoting the story?

I don't respond to everything because I get piled on. If no one comes to my defense on Royalan's responsr so be it.

Attacking the source of news is not legitimate when facts are being reported and the logic is sound. The news sources you like are biased, too.

2 plus 2 does not equal five; what happened on that plane was wrong, and AG Loretta Lynch is trusted by the public to know better.

You say old white woman as if there's been plenty.

And not zero.

Clinton/Warren would still be historic

A woman of colour in the mix would be ideal though.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I've still got faith Christie will pull it out. Man's running the selection process.

And the Loretta Lynch thing is such a nonissue I can't even. DOJ does a lot of stuff; the world is bigger than the email investigation, which, it must be said, is almost certainly also a giant pile of nothing. Plenty of reasons Bill Clinton might want to meet with Lynch.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton meeting is so unethical. I am so pissed off how most everyone is looking the other way.

i, too, am pissed off that the federal-government equivalent of a lawyer meeting with the opposing side of a case happened, if bill even met her about ~*the email investigation*~

e: actually this isn't even that. because there isn't an actively-prosecuted case happening.

I don't respond to everything because I get piled on.

and generally you get "piled on" because your immediate instinct is toward as much conspiracy garbage as possible

so, like, maybe stop sticking your dick in that and people will stop reacting with as much hostility

Did I not address the facts as you wrote them?

 

[metalslimer]

If there was any corruption going on Obama would have told Lynch to not do anything a long time ago. Bill was stupid to even be around her but why would the entire white house be behind Hilary if things were so dire they needed Bill to step in. Think about this logically.

Also if you can't trust Lynch not to be corrupted that easily you never trusted her at all.

Trump's VP pick:

 

[itschris]

Trump in 1993, testifying in front of the Native American affairs committee about Native American casinos:

If you look at some of the reservations that you've approved - you sir in your great wisdom have approved - I will tell you right now: they don't look like Indians to me. Now maybe we say politically correct or not politically correct, they don't look like Indians to me, and they don't look like Indians to Indians, and a lot of people are laughing at it. And you're telling how tough it is, how rough it is, to get approved. Well, you go up to Connecticut and you look - now, they don't look like Indians to me, sir.

And the response:

Thank God that's not the test of whether or not people have rights in this country: whether or not they pass your look test. Mr. Trump, do you know in the history of this country where we've heard this discussion before? They don't look Jewish to me, they don't look Indian to me, they don't look Italian to me. And that was the test for whether people could go into business or not go into business, whether they could get a bank loan. You're too black, you're not black enough.

Video here.

 

[HylianTom]

The drip-drip-drip of Trump's Greatest Hits isn't going to end anytime soon. Remember that veritable warehouse of material harvested from the past few decades? We're going to get something new on him every few days all the way to November.

Laws and facts are not conspiracy garbage.

28 CFR 45.2 - Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship.

(a) Unless authorized under paragraph (b) of this section, no employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with:
(1) Any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution; or
(2) Any person or organization which he knows has a specific and substantial interest that would be directly affected by the outcome of the investigation or prosecution.

Can we agree Loretta Lynch should recuse herself from the decision if the FBI recommends an indictment?

By this logic the entire justice department should recuse themselves because they have a relationship with Obama

This is who Trump is, a racist that has been racist for decades.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So, sorry, is this a confirmation you got your info from Rush and Breitbart? Wow.

 

[Joey Fox]

Did I not address the facts as you wrote them?

I admire your passion, and I don't want to argue minutiae. In this case, I think the facts show unethical behavior, in accordance with public law. If the top person isn't able to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, why would anyone else in the Justice Department? Sets a bad precedent!

 

[VendettaRed07]

I think he picks Newt because Christies bridge scandal corruption is an easy target and his whole campaign is about how Hillary is a corrupt politician.

Trump hasn't been afraid to bring up 90s scandal on the Clintons so might as well pick the guy who lead the charge.
