How is Carson even getting support as a candidate? Is the GOP strategy to always lose the presidential elections so they can always blame the democrats while maintaining status quo in perpetuity in face of a dwindling support of their actual views?

quote:Asked whether being gay is a choice, Carson responded: "Absolutely…because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight -- and when they come out, they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question." This guy has got the pedal to the metal.

Looping back to the "how will they go after Hillary" question, there's an interesting article on The Atlantic (http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2015/02/among-the-hillary-haters/384976/) that goes into how various scandals/attacks have affected Hillary's popularity over the years before turning to examine the attack strategy from the right (it's actually kind of crazy). It's a long read, but it's also a good sign of how hosed up politics are.

Is the GOP strategy to always lose the presidential elections so they can always blame the democrats while maintaining status quo in perpetuity in face of a dwindling support of their actual views? Ben Carson isn't getting support from the establishment GOP who have "strategy", his candidacy is entirely grassroots driven - people who like him and his message, but aren't very concerned (at this stage of the process, at least) with electability or governance. The GOP grassroots doesn't place a very high premium on choosing the electable candidate: Romney only barely broke 50% of the popular vote in the 2012 primary, despite his opponents being Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul, and despite being the only candidate left in the race for big popular vote states like Texas and California.

I like this line:quote:“I don’t even think he could win if he was running for mayor out here,” said one of his neighbors, who lives along the winding gravel road that leads to his palatial estate. “No one out here knows him. He tends to insulate himself.” from this article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/joelanderson/ben-carson-politics-legacy

Geeez. HRC's private email was run out of a server in her home.quote:The computer server that transmitted and received Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails — on a private account she used exclusively for official business when she was secretary of state — traced back to an Internet service registered to her family's home in Chappaqua, New York, according to Internet records reviewed by The Associated Press. They went through a lot of effort and expense to keep her email off government servers. This isn't a confused tech-illiterate old woman registering for a Gmail account.

I don't necessarily think that there's any deep dark secret hidden in the files. But barring some exculpatory circumstance, it's pretty clearly a cynical move with an eye on this election. She didn't want to leave a record that anyone could use against her, no matter what it was.

One thing just doesn't make sense to me - HRC's activities as SoS have already been gone over with a fine-toothed comb. How many thousands of man-hours were put into the multitude of Benghazi hearings, which included a ton of her email communications? And NOBODY (on any side) noticed that she wasn't using an official email? That just seems like a downright odd thing to have missed, especally since the GOP was desperately hunting for something to pin her with.

Unless they're only allowed to criticize her based on theatrical reasons but would get horribly slapped down if they actually tried to make her look bad for legit reasons. Given how many people were obviously aware she was using it, my guess is that this is a smoke but no fire situation. Either that or it's similar to how everyone didn't want to criticize Brian Williams for his puffery and now it's turning out that a lot of them were probably doing the same poo poo and didn't want to get called out for it.
