Hillary Clinton was a little distracted, she admitted Wednesday during a rally in Buena Park, California, when two men — one with a big “H” on his chest — took off their shirts.
“Hillary, they’re kicking us out because we don’t have our shirts on,” one guy said. “They’re making us leave,” another said, as the first added, “because we don’t have shirts on.”
“Well, um, you know what, as long as they don’t take anything else off,” Clinton said in jest.
“You know, you gotta make split decisions. That’s what leadership is about,” said the former secretary of state, who had to switch mics moments after the men in the crowd shouted about being ejected.
“OK, where was I? I gotta admit, it is a little distracting standing up here looking at them. So I’m gonna look over this way, and I’m gonna look over that way,” Clinton continued, laughing and pointing to different sections of the crowd. “I’m gonna look back there.”

While with Rose Law Firm, Hillary created legal language which stole people's homes and property from under them just for being a month behind on payments in the whitewater swindles. Perfectly legal. Perfectly reprehensible.you have rarely ever seen me personally attack sanders. i only attack his stansi only shyt on the stans and enjoy watching you get humbled every week
i dont know that nikka what i need to hate him for, unlike some other people who have a different vulgar name for hillary depending on which day of the week it isand thats when they arent going on racist tirades
The banks love her. She showed them the way. They have been bankrolling her for decades.
Word on the street is much of her speaking arrangements are to half empty and empty rooms. It's really money laundering and bribery, not speeches. So says word on the street.
Then again, word on the street said Trump is in on this Hillary bullshyt, something Jeb recently got called out for repeating. Who knows.
Either way, her husband is the smile in the face. She is the knife that follows in the back. She is not our friend. Enjoy getting run over by Mexicans.

Buzz grows over Tim Kaine as Hillary Clinton VP - CNNPolitics.com
Buzz grows in Dem circles over Kaine as Clinton VP
By Manu Raju and Deirdre Walsh, CNN

Hillary Clinton'srunning mate among major Democratic donors, operatives and congressional Democrats, who argue the Spanish-speaking former governor could be a steady hand in a difficult election environment.
[paste:font size="5"]
As the party establishment begins to shift its attention to a likely general election matchup against Donald Trump, many Democrats are now arguing that Kaine could help balance out the ticket by helping Clinton with independents in swing states and even expand the political map in the fall with his moderate profile, executive experience and foreign policy background.
Road to 270: The electoral college map
And as a politician from a southern state who has endured tough elections, proponents believe he can handle the grind of a high-profile presidential campaign.
"I would be 100% enthusiastic about Tim Kaine being our vice presidential candidate," said Peter Buttenwieser, a major Democratic donor and Clinton backer. "Nobody could be better."
Sources: John Kasich to drop out
How seriously Clinton is considering Kaine is far from certain. But Kaine has been atop Democratic running mate lists before, including in 2008 when Barack Obama's team was vetting the Virginia Democrat for the post before ultimately choosing Joe Biden. Senate Democratic leaders have not taken a position on Kaine as a running mate but would be supportive of his selection, sources said.
In a brief interview last week in the Capitol, Kaine was coy when asked about his interest in the job.
"I'm not on any list that I know of," he told CNN.
Yet two Clinton confidants, who asked not to be named, said Kaine's name has been mentioned frequently as a possible running mate, but said it was too early to know how serious it was.
Kaine, of course, has his drawbacks, too. He voted for fast-track trade authority last year -- something bound to anger the populist, progressive wing of the party led by Sen. Bernie Sanders. He has a more nuanced position on abortion than many liberals. And as a white male, he hardly would be a historic pick the way other prospective vice presidential candidates are.
At the starting gate: Clinton leads Trump by double-digits
Moreover, as Clinton has struggled to excite the Democratic base, it's far from clear that Kaine -- a mild-mannered and affable 58-year-old -- would be able to do just that.
Yet as a former chief executive of a swing state, along with his expertise serving on both the Foreign Relations and Armed Services panels, many believe his experience could make him the ideal running mate.
All that Its My Turn and Female History talk yet she picks a white man as VP after saying her husband was going to run the economy.
If its so in the bag for her why take steps to appear the status quo continues and she's just figurehead?
I think Hillary gets assassinated by a Bill goon as soon as she wins. Its what she always wanted? Then they'll make sure the legacy of First is not sullied by her actually doing anything.

Progressive blogger fired for calling Hillary Clinton ally a 'scumbag'

A progressive blogger was fired Friday for referring to a Hillary Clinton ally as a “scumbag,” igniting a fiery social-media exchange between the two and other high-profile writers who are at odds over the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The comment from Matt Bruenig, who wrote about philosophy and political economy at liberal think tank, Demos, came after a Twitter back-and-forth between Bruenig and Joan Walsh, a writer for The Nation, on a piece Walsh wrote, which is entitled, “Bernie Sanders is hurting himself by playing the victim.”
Walsh tweeted that she rejects “the moral superiority of a coalition led by white men vs. the will of black, brown and female voters” while linking to the article. Bruenig responded directly, arguing that the divide between the two Democratic candidates is “really about old people versus young people.” He accused Walsh of having a “level of animus towards young people. It’s kind of disgusting.”
Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, eventually jumped in to the conversation, which by that point had shifted to welfare reform.
Bruenig said Tanden “tried to starve me and my mother because she wanted to be in Democratic politics,” and advanced the position that Tanden supported welfare reform in the 1990s, when Bill Clinton was president. Bruenig has been critical of Clinton in his writings, calling her "an enemy of the poor" and "a garbage rich person."
Tanden tweeted at Bruenig that “having been on welfare myself, don’t need lectures on this topic from you.”
Bruenig replied with this tweet: “Scumbag Neera uses welfare when she needs it then takes away from others when they need it. Disgusting.”
Tanden responded that she “never worked on welfare reform,” and that the suggestion that she supported cutting from the program is a lie.
Demos then responded to the ongoing Twitter thread, calling Bruenig’s tweets “unacceptable,” and apologized for his words.
The organization released a lengthy statement Friday night detailing its differences with Bruenig, who has more than 270,000 Twitter followers, and his departure from the group.
The statement also highlighted the ongoing feud between factions of the Democratic Party, saying “it has been a particularly challenging place for progressives on opposite sides during the Democratic primary, and we know that there is a Sanders versus Clinton overlay to the Twitter exchange on Thursday night.”
Later, Bruenig apparently set up a GoFundMe page for one cause, "The Bruenig Bailout." According to the page, 654 people raised nearly $25,000 in 13 hours. The listed goal was $10,000, and Bruenig has since closed off donations.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald also jumped into the conversation to suggest that Tanden had influenced Demos' decision to part ways with Bruenig.
Tanden and Walsh both tweeted as recently as Saturday morning to say they hadn't learned of Bruenig's firing until after it had happened.

Hillary Has a New Plan to Make College Tuition Free. Thanks, Bernie.
By Jordan Weissmann
Are you happy now?

During the heat of the presidential primary, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton had a fairly substantial debate over whether Democrats should seek to eliminate tuition at public four-year colleges or merely make them inexpensive enough for students to attend without borrowing. Sanders argued that school should be free, while Clinton argued it should be affordable, quipping that she didn't want to pay for Donald Trump's children to get an education.
Now, with the party’s nomination more or less in hand, Clinton seems to be moving closer to Sanders' position. On Wednesday she offered a revamped higher-education plan that would eventually make public colleges tuition-free for all in-state students from families earning up to $125,000. This, according to Politico, comes after Clinton and Sanders discussed their college agendas in a meeting last month. Meanwhile, the senator from Vermont seems pleased with the new edition. “I want to take this opportunity to applaud Secretary Clinton for the very bold initiative she has brought forth for the finance of public education,” Sanders said outside of his campaign office near Capitol Hill, Politico reported. “This proposal combines some of the boldest proposals she fought for over the course of her campaign with some of the ideas I fought for.”
So what should we take from this? Mostly, I think it's a sign that Clinton realizes that she isn't going to win any points with Sanders or his young fans by preaching fiscal prudence and that trying to do so in the face of Donald Trump's post-factual campaign is a little pointless. Clinton's and Sanders' college plans were fundamentally similar in design: Both would give money to states in order to cut tuition for public college students on the condition that states also maintain a certain level of education funding. Philosophically, however, they were quite different. Sanders wanted to make free college a universal benefit; Clinton wanted to target those who needed help the most, while also asking students to work 10 hours a week. Both had virtues and drawbacks. Sanders' idea was both easier to understand andoffered something to influential upper-middle-class voters. Hillary's was less expensive but also kind of murky ("free" is easier to wrap your head around than "debt-free, if you're willing to take a job"). Her new version is clearer—if you make less than $125,000, Uncle Sam has you covered—but still aims its spending away from the very wealthiest. The one downside is that it might cost a bit more. But again, this move mostly seems designed to appease to Sanders' followers, who aren't exactlysticklers for arithmetic.
Nor, frankly, are most other voters. I doubt many people are going to spend hours lying awake wondering what “additional high-income tax loopholes” Clinton plans to close in order to make up the added expense of her new college agenda, as she's promised. And so one could argue that Sanders has pushed his opponent to take a more politically potent stand on this issue. Maybe waiting to endorse wasn't the worst idea, after all.

125K is a low ceiling. That's a middle class household income nowadays. Why not make it universal to avoid the inevitable class war?

I'm assuming that people above that would not be paying full tuition. It will probably be like reduced lunch in school.
