First Iceland, now Britain?

I wonder who else will topple from power due to the Panama Papers.

Glad we are backing a candidate who doesn't act like most candidates.

Hillary Clinton’s Support Among Nonwhite Voters Has Collapsed

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/seth-abramson/hillary-clintons-support-_b_9579544.html

Latest blog.

It’s all part of a dramatic national trend that has seen Clinton’s support among nonwhite voters dwindle to well under a third of what it was just a month ago — not nearly enough support to carry her, as it did throughout the Deep South, to future electoral victories in the Midwest and Northeast.

So no, it’s not a coincidence that, in the 18 state primary elections since March 1st, Bernie Sanders has won on Election Day in 12 of them.

(That’s right: Bernie won among live and provisional ballots in Arizona, Illinois, and Missouri.)

Of Clinton’s five post-March 1st Election Day wins, four (Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and North Carolina) were in the South, and were made possible by a level of support among nonwhite voters that Clinton no longer enjoys. Indeed, this coalition was already collapsing when Clinton won in Florida and North Carolina on March 15th. At the polls in North Carolina on Election Day, Clinton won just 52 percent to 48 percent, including the tens of thousands of provisional ballots cast (which, still being counted, have gone, as expected, 57 percent for Senator Sanders). In Florida, the 36-point edge Clinton held in the first three weeks of early voting (February 15th to March 7th) dwindled to a 13.4-point edge among those who made their decision regarding who to vote for from March 8th to March 15th.

In short, the Clinton campaign is in the midst of an historic collapse — much of it due to the unraveling of support for Clinton among nonwhite voters — and the national media has yet to take any notice.

Was on review but they let me back

I came to say that I caucused and am a delegate.

We turned one Hillary supporter which took our precinct from 2/2 to 3/1

It felt good.

I am going as far as Bernie will take us.

From the FB page of Seattle for Bernie

People in line at Key Arena!! Secret Service is going through EVERYTHING. Every pocket, every bag. The following items are NOT permitted: food, liquids, hard bottles, vape pens, selfie sticks, umbrellas, pepper spray, sharp items of any kind, guns, ecigs, marijuana... If you are in line and have ANY of these you can A) Get rid of them or B) Have them toss the items when you pass through security.
You will help the process run more smoothly and much faster if you do not have bags or purses. And backpacks measuring 14x14 or larger are not permitted.
There are no exceptions. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Zip.
** Update: Also, take off all metal before going through the metal detector. Let's help them do their job more efficiently to get us inside sooner.


I couldn't make it down today, but remember the good time I had back in August.

Received a piece of mail today from a William J Clinton

Whose address
1631 15th Ave W ste 302 Seattle WA 98119
It included a surrogate form to send in to caucus in case I couldn't make it...oh I am volunteering actually.


This guy loves me because I have " an impeccable record of voting" and he asked for my support of Hillary.

Fucking hell.

Tells me how to use the surrogate form or how to caucus in person.

Then says any registered voter can caucus for Hilary.

Here's what I know about Hillary: she's the single biggest change-maker I've ever met in my life. And we need a change-maker. I 've never met someone more level-headed, with more tenacity, and more determination to make America Better.
She can't do any of that without you, though. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and support are what make change possible. Thank you so much for everything you do for our party and our country. I hope that I can count on you to vote for Hillary.


Oh, this may well be the last time WA state can count on my impeccable voting record for their gain.

Anyone else in WA get this?

Ohh look what I got in my mail from a h supporter

bullshit comments like that? I grew up in a jewish clique in the 60's in NYC. i communicate with 13 jewish friends at least twice week. One of my friends has around 10 emmys for sesame street another is a famous children's author and a 3rd is aa professional musician who is on Springsteen's albums and toured with the Stones, Clapton and Graham Parker.

i'm a Hilary supporter and have way more Jewish friends than you and yet you make a blanket insult. It is one of the main reasons why I detest almost all the Bernie supporters.


I have no idea what this stilt person is on about. Since I haven't posted anything about Jews.

Alerted on and posting this so the person who posted this can look at my comments again and go ...oops

Petitition about Bill and MA

https://www.change.org/p/massachusetts-attorney-general-maura-healey-arrest-prosecute-bill-clinton-john-f-mitchell-violation-of-ma-election-laws
This is a call for the immediate arrest of President Bill Clinton for clear, knowing and egregious violation of the campaign laws to swing an election in a significant way.

It could not be any clearer in the Massachusetts General Laws. "Campaigning within 150 feet of a polling station, or in any way interfering with the right to vote". Choosing the critical battleground state of Massachusetts, Bill Clinton should immediately be subject to arrest and prosecution. Bill Clinton was not only electioneering within the boundary. Although the spokesperson for “I never had sexual relations with that woman” Bill Clinton denies that he was ever inside a polling place, photos and video show him clearly greeting and talking up election workers inside.

After being told to refrain from this activity, for Clinton indeed must have known the law and chose to violate it. Bill Clinton does not vote in Massachusetts, and would have no other business in a polling station on election day besides campaigning for his wife.


Yeah, why was he in a state that he cannot legally vote in and in a polling station?

Hey fellow PoC and those who love us

And those who love Steel Workers, too.

I have an OP about Bernie meeting with Native Americans and Steel Workers in Hibbing, MN. I would love for people to see how he is going to the source to ask what he needs to know.
