The robocalls that kept talking about Barack Hussain Obama; any way to find out who was behind them?

5. Given how much the Repugs want to run against Hillary,
my bet is that it's their operatives. They have been waiting to "Get back at the Clintons" for years, stockpiling shit to start throwing once she's the nominee. Obmama, (in my opionion), makes them nervous- he's exciting groups they never really thought seriously about like kids and African Americans (duh- but we are talking about the GOP)-- their focus has always been on beating Hillary. So, making sure she's the candidate, against perhaps, someone like McCain, could easily be their game here.

Just a ponder....

6. My guess is AFSCME.
On TPM they said it sounded like someone reading a script, not a robocall. Only the union could pull that off.
