The next two steps (fodder for airtime) for the Republicans

I know we aren't supposed to post their talking points but this is more of a heads up.

From Fox News - talk of restricting Hillary's security clearance and the briefing she will get once nominated.

From Facebook - Breitbart article about Hillary commiting perjury during the BENGHAZI hearing. She said she turned over all work emails. The exchange with (insert asshat) was about a discrepancy of 15 emails between her and Blumenthal.

Honestly though, it makes no difference. The GOP, and FoxNews were going to use both the emails and Benghazi through November.Time to bring back the fairness doctrine - the one Reagan killed.

Who would I prefer to have these? Trump or Hillary?

Hmm, such a tough choice ... however will I choose ... Batshit Nutjob Don, or Potentially Not Perfect Hillary?

Such a tough choice ...

I mean come on, the soul of the Republican pitch to the voters is about distraction and dishonest generalities. If they could talk about policies they would be Libertarians or moderate Democrats.

There's really not a strong philosophical or economic argument to be made for the kind of crony capitalism the Republicans practice and believe in.so they have to traffic and emotional appeals and dishonest distractions.

The gist being that it still amazes me that seemingly normal adults can be lead around by the nose over and over and over with promises of scandals that always end up no where. They are so conditioned (and flooded with the B and C league on line websites) that they never stop to consider that they are being lied to AGAIN.
