Did you know that PA is Clinton's home? Of course!!

Grandma and Grandpa lived there! And she has fond memories.
snips...

“Secretary Clinton has northeastern Pennsylvania blood running through her veins,” the mayor of Scranton, William L. Courtright, told the crowd, proudly describing her as “a local woman that made it big.”


“I met people who said things to me like, ‘I knew your cousins, I knew your uncles,’ ” she said. “I had one man say, ‘Didn’t we sled down Court Street one winter?’ I said: ‘Could have been, could have been. I was there.’ ”

“It just brings back a flood of the best memories and the best people,” she said


But here comes the really interesting part...

“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.”


So let me get this straight - In CT she is running ads about being anti-gun, and in PA she is pro-gun. Ok, got it.

It's no wonder why we see this...
In a brand new Washington Post-ABC News national poll, just 37 percent of people believe Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy while 57 percent say they don't think she is.




Someone please tell me how she is beating Bernie?

journalism turned into pure propaganda.

When Donald said women should be punished for having an abortion, and Maddow asked Bernie about it and he answered it was insane and absurd, she asked him again. He answered her again but then followed up with Trump says something insane every day, how about we talk about the issues....
And Rachel turned that into meaning Bernie does not care about women's rights.... and ran with that story for days....
that was the moment I knew the 4th estate no longer exists.

My late BIL grew up a few houses away from her parent's home. Since he was a rabid Republican, I'm sure he would have told me that he threw snowballs at her .... but alas, he didn't.
