The email scandal must be a pain in the ass to deal with who would want to sift through all that information except for people like jay My tiny little Republican head would explode

also I'm sensing a strong support for Biden/Warren card that could make this race a bit more interesting but either way I'm looking forward to the democratic debates to see what main issues they'll be tackling

Warren will have her shot in a few more cycles, for now she will be most effective leading in the senate.

...and just today the State Department revealed that 150 more of Hillary's e-mails contained classified information...stick a fork in her , she's all done !

so Sanders vs Trump ? would be nice

One interesting thing to watch in that hypothetical matchup would be to see the preference and turnout of non-white voters. Sanders has shown limited ability to appeal to them so far but any Democratic opponent of Trump's would necessarily do well among them. He's a turnout driver all on his own.



She's only 2 years younger than Clinton. She could conceivably run in 2020 if the Democrats happened to lose this cycle or choose not to run again but she doesn't have much of a window. Fortunately for her a lot of Senate Democrats are happy to focus on other committees and let her climb Banking and H.E.L.P. very quickly. She'll be given an opportunity that most Senators don't get -- a chance to be the Chair or R.M. of one or the other at some point in her second term instead of having to serve for ~15 years.



Stop peddling this idiocy. Absolutely nothing changed -- the State Department and other agencies are still in disagreement over material that wasn't classified at the time, but that they think should have been.

Big news day.

Rick Perry dropping out was able to momentarily vault him into the #2 spot on Google search interest (behind all things Donald Trump), which also momentarily bumped the Clinton email saga/controversy/nothingburger down. But then something meaningful happened, and, because it wasn't terrible news for Clinton it was predictably ignored. One story, three headlines:
