The Brexit Files: 'Panicked' Remain Camp Plans To 'Take Out Boris' As Opinion Polls Swing In Brexit Campaign's Favour




In reading this article, ponder the curious parallels to what's going on in US politics right now.

For example where have we heard that phrase "Take out (Name of pol who's causing the Ruling Class problems)" before?

This story is from 1996.

People should be reminded, though.

Or maybe not, considering that this the electorate that gave us four more years of SCOAMF.

They might see the Beest's loopiness as a virtue.

'Never Trump' Oligarchy slowly coming out of the closet
[ABC] Republican donor Meg Whitman, the high-profile Hewlett Packard Enterprise president and CEO, indicated at Mitt Romney's closed-door summit on Friday that she would likely be supporting Hillary Clinton in November, according to multiple sources who were in the room.

"She posed the question, 'Is it not reasonable to support Hillary Clinton?' given all the awful things Trump has said," explained donor John Chachas.

Whitman served as Romney's finance co-chair in 2012.

But asked if she was switching over to the other side, Whitman told ABC News, "I haven't made that decision. We'll see, get to the conventions, see who the vice presidential picks are. And then I will make that decision." Her office declined to comment further when asked.

She backed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during the primary season and criticized him for his subsequent support of Donald Trump.

#1  More proof, as if it's needed, that there is one beltway party for all the corruptocrats.

Clinton is the Don of this crime family and they will do all in their power to maintain their turf and perqs.

#2  What the f*#k is wrong with the beltway Republicans is the correct question.

It does not necessarily follow that Trump is the correct answer.

#3  Meg Whitman, the highly successful candidate for CA governor and the finance co-chair of the highly successful Romney Presidential campaign.

I'm thinking she's doing a Trump a favor here.

#4  HP is yet another importer/outsourcer, and she lost her gubernatorial race. She is who Trump has been running against the last year.

#6  A man is measured by his enemies.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 06/12/2016 11:27 Comments || Top||

#7  I remember how pitiful her campaign was when she ran for governor against Moonbeam. Just like Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman is yet another loser who also happens to be CEO of Hewlett-Packard. What is it about that company?

But I liked it when Reince Priebus told her and Romney that Republicans will win in November with them or without them.

#8  Pushing all my chips in for Hillary. How can I lose? Meg "Double Down" Whitman.

#9  "She [Whitman] posed the question, 'Is it not reasonable to support Hillary Clinton?' given all the awful things Trump has said,"

I really find these squishy faint-hearted liberals (RINOS) disgusting. What has Trump said that compares to what Hillary has done? Hillary is one evil, conniving, manipulative, crooked bytch.

Dems tussle over adding ‘occupation’ to party platform
Sharpening differences as the parties evolve to new configurations.
[IsraelTimes] As Clinton secures victory, Democratic National Committee debates how to describe Israel’s presence in West Bank

The Democratic Party’s platform drafting committee tussled over whether to use the word "occupation" in addressing the Israeli-Paleostinian issue, reflecting divisions between the Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
and Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Jeremiah S. Black ...
camps that could play out at the convention.

The Democratic National Committee held two days of open hearings this week in Washington, D.C., on the platform, inviting experts to testify. The hearings, which will also take place in other cities, got underway the same week that it became clear that Clinton had secured her position as the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

Much of the back and forth Thursday afternoon, when the committee considered foreign policy, was about whether the committee should describe Israel’s presence in the West Bank as an "occupation."

The drafting committee’s platform will be presented to the full committee during the convention in late July in Philadelphia. Party officials are eager not to repeat the scene in 2012, when the full platform committee, under fire by pro-Israel groups for not including Jerusalem in the original draft, voted to add recognition of the city as Israel’s capital. The motion passed, but there was loud booing during the session.

Robert Wexler, a former Florida congressman who appeared before the committee as an expert witness representing Clinton’s views, in his interview after testifying said that while the platform could be tweaked, Clinton’s views ‐ which he said included not prejudging the outcome by referencing an "occupation" ‐ would prevail because she is the nominee.

"There was a winner of the Democratic primaries and her name is Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton has a decades-long policy regarding Israel," he said.

Wexler in his testimony also said that the platform should reject bids to delegitimate Israel, including through the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

White House borrows Clinton's 'Stronger Together' slogan
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Not only has President Obama gone all in to help Hillary Rodham Clinton win the presidency, but now the first lady and his White House are echoing the Democrat's campaign themes.

This week, the White House unveiled its slogan for the upcoming "United State of Women Summit" in a release. "Together, We are Stronger" is the motto.

For some, it sounded familiar, and very close to Clinton's slogan.

Just last month, she revealed it on NBC's Meet the Press. Hers is "stronger together."

She said it five times.

"Look, we are stronger together. We are stronger together in facing our internal challenges and our external ones. We are stronger together if we work to improve the economy," Clinton said.
