Spin? Sorry, I was giving statistics--facts if you will. Obama is much more popular than Bush at this point in their 2nd terms....as part of his administration, the "baggage" that would have been there for HRC is lessened as a result; the same way it was quite heavy for Senator McCain.
When you talk about the future, and claim to know what's going to happen, that's called SPIN. Get it ?
No...that is called a prediction. Feel free to look it up using a dictionary if you would like.
As for my track record, it's pretty good. I missed the 2012 election by one state (Colorado)
Electoral Vote Predictions Page 7 US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
In late 2013, I said this:
"The Republicans SHOULD do very well in 2014..."
But more importantly, here is what I said in 8/13....3 years before the 2016 election when asked to handicap the field:
Santorum; Won 11 states in both the north and the south. He has a good organization in Iowa and New Hampshire...
Chris Christie; Probably the best candidate but has huge problems with the calendar. He won't win in Iowa, New Hampshire will be too close to make any victory of his count for much. South Carolina comes next and he may as well not even campaign down there. Then comes Florida where he is likely to run into Rubio, Jeb Bush or both. He won't win vs a "favorite son" vote. So he lost (at least) 3 of the first 4 contests, will have no momentum, little money, and, more importantly, no media attention.
Jeb Bush;
Watch for Bush...
Good in All Time Zones-Check
Heavyweight Credentials-Check
Money-Check
Name Recognition-Check
Wants the job....wants the job....wants the job???? Dunno.
Scott Walker;
Dark Horse but will likely be angling for a VP nomination. Swing state will help the top of the ticket. He will likely get into it and he just may become a consensus candidate.
And it is shaping up exactly that way despite this announcement by Senator Cruz.
I expect 2016 to come down to Hillary vs whomever you guys limp back to the barn with and Hillary to win.
In your case, your "prediction" is SPIN.
You do not seem to know what spin means. Spin is when something happens and you try cast a certain light on it. You're really not very bright.
. And you ought to be ashamed of yourself for promoting a worthless, piece of trash like Hillary Clinton, for anything other than a federal prison cell where she belongs for violating federal concealment law, in addition to other laws which will probably all come out in the wash when when her Muslim Briotherhood aide, Huma Abedin starts getting interrogated, along with other aides. She ought to be in the trash bin of American history, just for even associating with a Muslim Brotherhod operative, let alone having one as her deputy Chief of Staff in the State dept.
I don't expect a liberal to even know about Abedin's background since liberals confine themselves to liberal media which is strictly censored from reporting information regarding Islamization, and you all don't know how much you don't know. What else is new ?
Ms Clinton served her nation with distinction as FLOTUS, as Senator from New York, and as Secretary of State. She'll make a good President.
As for Huma, I am constantly tickled by you guys who think all who have funny sounding names are Muslims and all belong to this secret organization.
You are amazingly ignorant, and you have no idea how ignorant your are. (which is common among liberals whose liberal media routinely shields you from tons of information) Here's a rundown on Huma and her longtime Muslim Brotherhood involvement (bad guys bolded in red) >>
No charge for the tutoring
A letter was sent to the State Department accusing Abedin's late father, mother and brother of being connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, is far from being "unsubstantiated", as some Islamapologist (if not Islamist) critics whined. Not only is it a solid fact that they are connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, it's also a fact that Huma Abedin herself, is also connected to the Muslim Brotherhood.
She was an executive board member of George Washington University's (GWU)
Muslim Students Association(MSA-the founding Muslim Brotherhood front group in America), heading the organization's “Social Committee.” A couple of the names that passed through that GWU-MSA were
Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda advisor who mentored
Major Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 US troops in Fort Hood, TX, and who himself was assassinated by US drones. Another was
Mohamed Omeish, who headed the International Islamic Relief Organization, which has been tied to the funding of al Qaeda.
From 1996-2008, Abedin was employed by the
Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as the assistant editor of its in-house publication, the
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA). It is vital to note that IMMA's "Muslim Minority Affairs" agenda was, and remains to this day, a calculated foreign policy of the Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs, designed, as journalist Andrew C. McCarthy (also the prosecutor of the1993 World Trade Center bombers/jihadists) explains, "to grow an unassimilated, aggressive population of Islamic supremacists who will gradually but dramatically alter the character of the West." The first seven of those years overlapped with the al Qaeda-affiliated
Abdullah Omar Naseef's active presence at IMMA. Abedin's last six years at the Institute (2002-2008) were spent as a JMMA editorial board member; for one of those years, 2003, Naseef and Abedin served together on that board. When Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State in 2009, Abedin became her deputy chief of staff. At approximately that same point in time, Abedin's name was removed from the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs' masthead.
Her family members' connections to the Muslim Brotherhood are just as factual. Her brother and sister still remain as editors of the JMMA. Her mother,
Dr. Saleha Abedin , is an influential member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s division for women,
the Muslim Sisterhood. She is also a zealous advocate of sharia law’s oppression of women, and a board member of the
International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief. The
IICDR has been long banned in Israel for supporting Hamas. It is also part of the
Union for Good, which is a formally designated international terrorist organization under federal law. The Union for Good is led by
Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the chief sharia jurist of the Muslim Brotherhood. He is the world’s most influential Islamic cleric, and has issued fatwas endorsing suicide bombings against Israel and terrorist attacks against American forces in Iraq.
And with Huma by her side, Hillary's record as S of S has been as damaging to America, and atrocious as any S of S in American history. Since Abedin has held her deputy Chief of Staff position, an awful lot of pro-Muslim Brotherhood things have been happening at the State Dept. A Fulbright scholarship was awarded to Siham al-Qaradawi, the daughter of Sheikh Qaradawi, an Islamist scholar, and spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, who's banned from the USA, UK, and France. While the sheikh’s daughter is said to be an exceptional chemist, the world is full of exceptional chemists. How is it that Qaradawi’s daughter gets the State Department prize?
And since Secretary Clinton’s tenure began, with Huma Abedin serving as a top adviser, the United States has aligned itself with the Muslim Brotherhood in myriad ways. To name just a few (the list is by no means exhaustive):
Our government
1- reversed the policy against formal contacts with the Brotherhood;
2- funded Hamas;
3- continued funding Egypt even after the Brotherhood won the elections;
4- dropped an investigation of Brotherhood organizations in the U.S. that were previously identified as co-conspirators in the case of the Holy Land Foundation financing Hamas;
5- hosted Brotherhood delegations in the United States;
6- issued a visa to a member of the Islamic Group (a designated terrorist organization) and hosted him in Washington because he is part of the Brotherhood’s parliamentary coalition in Egypt;
7- announced that Israel should go back to its indefensible 1967 borders;
8- excluded Israel, the world’s leading target of terrorism, from a counterterrorism forum in which the State Department sought to “partner” with Islamist governments that do not regard attacks on Israel as terrorism;
9- and pressured Egypt’s pro-American military government to surrender power to the anti-American Muslim Brotherhood parliament and president just elected by Egypt’s predominantly anti-American population.
Makes us wonder >>> Hypothetically, if Huma Abedin did have a bias in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and if she were actually acting on that bias to try to tilt American policy in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, what exactly would the State Department be doing differently?
And Hillary's got distinction all right. What S of S has ever gotten him/herself in this much trouble by snubbing her nose up at the American people, maintaining a private email account with a mysterious server at her home, and then deleting emails AFTER having them be requested by a govt dept. And what S of S has ever cancelled away our right to know what's going on, other than this treacherous, selfish, arrogant piece of crap ?
