My prediction before the next primary takes place.

When questioned as to why so many Democrats don't trust her, Hillary stated it was because she wasn't a "natural politician" like Bill or President Obama.

Personally I don't believe that's the reason, too many self-inflicted wounds via flip flopping, too much secrecy and frankly too many lies.

After the debate ended as the candidates greeted supporters, CNN made it obvious to show Hillary the "non natural politician" meeting with the woman separated from her husband, I believe someone was taking down information.

I predict one way or another Hillary "the non-politician" will get that woman's husband back in the U.S. definitely before Florida votes and the corporate media conglomerates will cover this to the point of it competing with actual Trump coverage.

I mean especially if it didn't benefit Bernie in some way.

ramifications.

It's one thing to manage microisms for political expediency and quite another to push macro policies in opposition.

of the action. Most people dislike insincerity, political expediency, falseness and fakery. Most people don't like to be used as political pawns.

I wonder if Hillary has ever done anything in her life without a selfish motive.

3. Bernie's campaign should take note and maybe make some inquiries....

to get ahead of this possibility.


And a nice catch by you Uncle Joe.......


It's definitely within the scope of norm to suspect that a Clinton will no doubt, milk a situation bone-dry if it best serves their needs. Like Flint, Hillary knows what added value such humanitarian free press coverage could provide for her image and campaign amongst latinos.

As a former SoS, I'm sure Hillary can breeze through red tape channels and deliver this husband to this woman. This scenario might actually be a pre-planned, campaign setup. The Florida press would be buzzing non-stop if such a story materialized.


Bernie, hope you're reading DU.......

4. I thought along those lines as well considering Hillary's Univision connections.

Inside the Univision-Clinton network
The ties between the Clintons and the Spanish language television network run deep.

that was definitely a set up situation. Don't get me wrong, that'd be a nice result, but done for the obvious photo-op ramifications, would not impress much.

Now if she could somehow get back Elian Gonzalez and overthrow those awful Castro brothers ... now we're talking!
