If all else fails, a brokered convention as such is a near impossibility because none of the first tier candidates would jump on the nomination sword. For it to work out they would have to have a savior candidate who could outpoll Hillary without many of the Trump voters. That person doesn't exist.

That he will not win the nomination.

As I've said before, I won't be convinced otherwise unless he has a majority of delegates after Super Tuesday (March 1).

Just so we're clear -

Petraeus writes down information that's classified in a physical notebook, locks it in his drawer, never shows anyone = federal conviction, six figure fine, 2 years probation

Hillary runs hundreds if not thousands of emails with classified data on a server sitting on the internet in a bathroom closet, no one can say for sure it wasn't compromised = nbd, no crime

Reminder that Petraeus gave information his girlfriend who then published it.

Also, none of the information on her server was classified at the time -- it was classified after the fact -- in intra-departmental squabbling. But hey, if you want to keep bringing up Benghazi and emails and whatever, sure -- it's been such a winner for y'all.

The article states

quote:

Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. is opposed by a solid majority of Americans, but there is more support for the idea and greater anti-Muslim sentiment within the Republican Party, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

Those views within the party have helped Mr. Trump weather yet another political storm, as the poll found his favorability rating undiminished among GOP primary voters over the last six weeks.

Some 57% of survey respondents objected to the proposed Muslim ban—most of them saying they objected strongly—while 25% favored it.
Among Republican primary voters, 39% opposed and 38% supported the idea, which has been the subject of heated debate since Monday, when Mr. Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown” of Muslims’ entry into the country.

Although the poll found that nearly two thirds of Americans have a favorable view of Muslims, anti-Muslim sentiment among Republicans is strong: Half of GOP primary voters have an unfavorable view of Muslims.


Stop freaking out guys. He can't bash muslims and win a general election.

Clearing would imply she ever faced a charge or criminal investigation.

The FBI was and is culling for classified data to ensure all the classified info, which the state dept had stupidly and ineptly and against regulation left stored on unsecured networks, could be identified, ramifications identified, and information stored or destroyed properly.

Think accident investigator versus criminal investigation.

I wouldn't trade that because it would probably have horrible climate and environmental effects, and again it still wouldn't actually supply the US because the sun ain't shining at night.

There has been a lot of progress in this regard—I know at least one thermal-solar plant has been able to maintain power output for ~15 hours with no sun, so it's able to provide uninterrupted power overnight. Obviously doesn't solve getting electricity from Nevada to Maine, but there are some much more flexible options out there than straight up photovoltaics.
