DVRacer's JournalWe had better start thinking of the long game
I keep quite and read here mostly but the discord has really got me worried as of late. I was all for Bernie still am holding out hope the powers that be in the party change their minds. I see it as a 1 in 3 chance Hillary is in big trouble with the FBI. I say this with experience and knowledge of some of what's going on. She screwed up big time but it may be too late to fix it so we are stuck riding it out. What I see happening is she will get the nomination and choose a reasonable running mate. We had better think long and hard then get behind that ticket 100% to win in November. If the shit hits the fan come Febuary or March then the VP can step in.
The other path is we don't GOTV and Trump wins period we all lose at that point. It will take 8-10 years to recover think how long it has taken to get to now since Shrub left. Is it perfect nope not even close is it better I think so.
Hillary my still yet surprise us and pull through it all ,history has shown once in office her approval ratings go up. She may not be perfect but unless something changes she is all that we have.
So think it through think about the long game.
Ok I have been reading up on the Email saga and still unsure what magnitude it really is.
I know a lot of folks here are broken down on this issue based on whose camp they belong to. I just want to know for myself how real or imagined the fallout will be. I have read everything that I can find on the web from every angle and with the filter of my Navy Intel experience have come to a few questions and very few solid answers.
1. Who had authority to approve the use for State Department officials to use a private email server system?
2. What were the systems administrators plans to comply with FOIA?
3. Why was a permanent IG not in place during Secretary Clinton's tenure, and why was one appointed immediately following her departure?
I believe the person that will ultimately take the biggest "hit" will be Patrick Kennedy and that is because he failed our President. In his handling of all of this, Secretary Clinton will also be hurt. My overall question is what will be the magnitude 2.0 - 9.9
This release today makes wonder how deep this will end up.

Mr. Kennedy would be the FBI interview I would of everyone involved like to be a fly on the wall for. I think his will be most telling.
If a response to this is left I would prefer it be based on which camp you are in and fact based.
I supported Bernie in our primary and now support Secretary Clinton as we move forward towards formal nomination. I just honestly don't want things to blowup later on and have it shoved in my face by family that would love to gloat.
Cruz drops out!
And another goes down.

Ok before we are at each other's proverbial throats tonight
Let's attempt to have some fun and be nice to the "other side"
To play you must state three things you like about both Hllary and Bernie.
Also see if you can find a quote from each that made you smile and proud they are on your side.
1. That climate change is real
2. Minimum wage is too low
3. All people should be treated equally and fairly
"…freedom is never granted. It is earned by each generation… in the face of tyranny, cruelty, oppression, extremism, sometimes there is only one choice. When the world looks to America, America looks to you, and you never let her down… I have never lost faith in America's essential goodness and greatness…" - Hillary Clinton
"What happens in Syria, for example, there's some thought about this. When you have drought, when people can't grow their crops, they're going to migrate into cities and when people migrate into cities and when they don't have jobs, there's going to be a lot more instability, a lot more unemployment and people will be subject to the types of propaganda that Al Qaeda and ISIS are using right now and so where you have discontent you have instability, that's where problems arise and certainly without a doubt, a climate change will lead to that." - Bernie Sanders
Please don't use disabled veterans in this war.
We have given enough.
I can't speak for all of us but I can speak for myself for sure.
I am/was behind Bernie but as I posted last week or so he is not going to be our nominee. Ok that's my thoughts on that.
What I am posting about is using veterans to go after Bernie as some defacto head of the VA. He is not and he and President Obama have been our greatest champions in D.C. Helping bring an old system into the 21st century and deal with an influx we haven't seen since WWII.
Please do not use me as a pawn to score political points myself and other veterans deserve better.
I won't call out the OP that causes me to write this I'd rather see it sink than draw attention to it. I just find it vulgar.
