quote [ Mitt Romney Trashes Trump: "He doesn't pay taxes. He doesn't have much income. He's receiving income from unsavory sources...There's something in those taxes that's even worse than shooting someone on Fifth Avenue" ]
What the hell is going on? This is unheard of in modern politics. The past nominee of the party trashing the presumptive nominee of his party...in the press.
There is something afoot here and I can't figure it out. I'm not sure if the elites are planing a back room maneuver at the convention or a third party run but something is going on. Maybe Mitt is planing on the VP slot on the Clinton ticket not at all sure, but there is some kind of scheme here and it is far from obvious what it is.
PARK CITY, Utah ? Mitt Romney warned that a Donald Trump presidency could normalize racism, misogyny and bigotry in the national conscience. Romney loyalists? divisions over Trump spill out into the open at Utah summit The Clinton campaign is following their Standard playbook and doing their best to define the opponent before the convention. They firmly believe this is where an election is won or lost. They have had the surrogates out and have started with supperpac ads Trump University Informercial | The Briefing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0ei2h-0QDU And they think they have found a soft spot with Trump U. And maybe they have... Donald Trump moves to block the release of his video testimony in university lawsuit It will be interesting to see how the unqualified Mexican judge rules. But the thing with Romney is really interesting...partly because the only kind of person who would stand a chance as a third party candidate would have to be wealthy and able to partly fund their own campaign and have 100% name Recognition... I wonder who that would be?

Well Hillary may be the right choice, but I can't recall any part of her platform besides carrying on Obama's legacy. Whiether or not one thinks that's good or bad, she isn't exactly motivating the political base, and Bernie did have quite a few libertarians under his belt.
I think Hillary will win, but I could see depressed voter turnout letting Hillary pull an Al
Gore.
But really, the real election time spending hasn't even started yet.
The Kochs don't start spending until the actual election and I'm not sure how many debates Hillary and Trump can keep avoiding. Hillary is an uncharismatic policy wonk and Trump is keeping it simple-stupid.
I think this election will kind of be a litmus test for the New Left. This is really Hillary's election to lose by any measure- but Al Gore jaded me way too much to let my guard down.
