Rotten fruit.

(480 posts)They're all done and coming apart. Cheating may work if you're close and need a little boost. They are soooo far back now that a even stealing suppressing won't help them and they realize it now.
2016 will be a cake walk for HRC.

(61,627 posts)The party has had a setback on the national level, but they have more than made up for it on the state level. State level is where votes are counted.

(480 posts)Alaska went red on the state level to. But it that won't slow or hinder HRC. The gop needs gain much more than just NC. In 2016 what blue state could possibly go red (home state exemption). NONE.
Still stand my my prediction for a HRC landslide; both terms. Maybe in twelve years the gop will be competitive again on the national level. I think the Libertarians will be coming on strong by then.

(2,424 posts)38 million isn't a lot of money. Even at the County level, 38 million doesn't buy you a whole lot.
That is well worth the cost of doing business. A corporation can make 38 million in one day with the right politician in place.

Not promising how I'd use that money, though.

(23,973 posts)Rove might as well have taken the money and burned it, for all the good it did.
I wonder if a vindictive billionaire who thinks he's above the law will feel about Rove pissing his hundred million dollar contribution away like that.
