HARTFORD COURANT ENDORSES @HillaryClinton Most Qualified & Effective #CTPrimary #ImWithHer http://cour.at/1qQ9eRa

1. You can't swing a burning cross in my town without hitting a Vote Trump yard sign

Unemployment rate of 7.3%, median household income of $30,070.00 and they're positive that Trump will solve all of their problems.

[forest444]

2. It's the same crowd that thought it might be nice to have a beer with Dubya in 2000.

[Democat]

11. Until their sons and daughters were killed fighting in Iraq

Then they voted for him again in 2004.

[forest444]

12. A sad commentary on our times.

And on the power of media brainwashing, of course. Veritable weapons of mass distraction.

[Democat]

14. Wait until Trump wins the Republican nomination

The media will be telling us how great he is from that day until the election, while bashing Sanders or Clinton.

[forest444]

15. Exactly.

They're letting Democrats lull themselves into thinking Ms. Inevitable would be a great (and, of course, historic) candidate.

Once she's nominated, the cannons will start blasting away - and they have plenty of ammunition.

[beastie boy]

22. The proveerbial canons have been bashing at Hillary for the better part of two decades.

She can take it.

Bernie, on the other hand, has been treated with kid gloves so far. Should the canons turn on him (and the right wing has ammo to spare for Bernie), he will be totally destroyed.

[Iliyah]

3. Eff T-rump ; YAY HRC!

[Plucketeer]

4. The stupid is STRONG

in Pennsylvania, Luke!

[riversedge]

5. So, now voters are stupid. Shame on you.

Hillary Clinton ended Bernie Sanders winning streak with a big victory in New York. The New York defeat puts the pressure on Sanders to win next week’s Pennsylvania primary.

Clinton’s win in New York not only stopped Sanders momentum, but makes his path to the nomination even harder. Clinton received more good news as two recent polls show her lead in Pennsylvania growing.

Pennsylvania has become a must-win state for Sanders as it represents the largest delegate prize in next week’s primaries. There are 189 delegates at stake in Pennsylvania. The challenge for the Sanders campaign is the delegates are divided proportionally based on the results. This makes it difficult for Sanders to gain considerable ground on Clinton.

Here’s a look at the latest Pennsylvania Democratic polls..

[Plucketeer]

9. What WILL the DNC

do IF there's an indictment against Ms. Inevitable. Yeah - yeah, I know it ain't gonna happen. But let's just pretend this is some other dimension and she were to be so labored (or maybe "labored" isn't the best word since it's not one she's comfortable with)? Biden? Schultz? (LOL! I made myself laugh with that one!) But there's gotta be plenty with the corporate seal of approval that could be recruited, no?

[Chicago1980]

17. Why would there be an indictment, and why are you lauding conservative speak?

If you 'know' it's not going to happen, why bring it up?

You're as bad as the RNC.

[beastie boy]

23. The right wing and the Bernie followers... still having wet dreams about "the indictment"...

Bernie becomes President in that pretend dimension you are talking about, so why sweat it out?

[Turbineguy]

8. And from the Strange Bed Fellows file:

Billionaire political donor Charles Koch said Democrat Hillary Clinton may make a better president than any of the Republicans vying for the job and derided the rhetoric of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-04-23/koch-says-it-s-possible-clinton-would-be-better-than-republican

[Plucketeer]

10. LOL!!!

I don't think this should surprize us AT ALL! Certainly, the Kochs have got this horse covered.

[Turbineguy]

13. I've been thinking a lot about that social liberal

Richard Nixon lately.

[beastie boy]

21. Koch baited you real quick, didn't he?

This is what's called "the kiss of death" in the business of politics.

He seems to know it and you don't.

[Geronimoe]

27. Malarkey

As Sec of State she had lobbyist writing the environmental impact study for XL Keystone Pipeline. This was a gift to the Koch family.

[beastie boy]

30. Is the Secretary of State in charge of EPA? Wow, you learn something new every day!

And what exactly was the Koch gift? Endorsing hillary? That is a winner aming Democrats, right?

With friends like this, who needs enemies! If anything, it's a gift to Bernie.

Which begs a question: what did Bernie promise the Koch Brothers? Hmmm....

[Plucketeer]

31. LOL!

When it's legalized, I'll have somma what yer havin'!

[azurnoir]

16. Interesting because according to NYT in PA she's gone pro-gun

[Chicago1980]

18. Debatable...

"Mrs. Clinton brought up personal experience when talking about her support for new gun control measures, an area where she has tried to gain an upper hand against Senator Bernie Sanders.

“I want to be really clear about this, because I learned how to shoot a gun behind our cottage in Lake Winola,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And I know how important gun ownership and particularly hunting is here in northeastern Pennsylvania.”

“I want you to know that we can’t ignore the Second Amendment, and we can’t ignore that 33,000 people a year die from gun violence,” she said. “I think we are smart enough to figure out how to do that.”"


That doesn't really sound "pro-gun", but more like sensible ownership.


I'm not anti Second Amendment, but that doesn't make me pro-gun. It's about balance.

[azurnoir]

19. she wan't sayin' stuff like that in NYC last week now was she

[Chicago1980]

25. Is NYC someplace where they hunt or have a gun culture? No

She mentioned guns back in 08 when President Obama called her Annie Oakley.

[Mary Mac]

26. i dont think Tom Jefferson anticipated machine guns.

Nt.

[beastie boy]

20. ???

“I want you to know that we can’t ignore the Second Amendment, and we can’t ignore that 33,000 people a year die from gun violence,” she said. “I think we are smart enough to figure out how to do that.”

That's Hillary going pro-gun?

Shame on you! You fooled me into reading the whole article!

Just to get even, here's Bernie bashing poor people:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sanders-lost-primaries-poor-people

[Major Hogwash]

29. Little Annie Oakley wants their vote, unless they have heard of Sandy Hook!!!!

Two states, two different positions on guns.

What a lying candidate she is.

#WhichHillary??

[BumRushDaShow]

24. Yet another airing of a Trump ad came on the radio

as I was reading this post. He really didn't need to spend the $$ but I suppose he did it because he hasn't had to spend any $$$ (thanks to all the free media). It was bad enough to hear Cruz ads. It boggles the mind considering the city is like 80+% Democratic (although I know the news station I heard it on is local #1 arbitron and covers a large area of SE PA).

[silvershadow]

28. The Kochs have a lock on PA! nt
