Clinton houdt zich op dit moment zeer in tegen Sanders, zij kon hem makkelijk harder aanvallen als ze wilde, omdat dat tot nu toe niet nodig is geweest. De campagne tussen Obama en Clinton in 2008 waren veel harder dan nu.

Waar zou ze mee kunnen komen? Ik vind dat leeftijdsgedoe en die beschuldiging van vrouwenhaat (beide door haar team in de media gegooid) toch best wel smerig. Oh ja, die "je gaat branden in de hel als je niet op Hillary stemt als je een vrouw bent" was ook weinig fraai.

De tweede keer, de eerste keer ging er het een en ander mis in Massachusetts waar Hillary met een zeer nipte meerderheid won.
Niet dat ik denk dat het veel verschil gaat maken (evenredigheid) maar fraai is het niet.

America's Italian Moment: What Comes After Trump?

(...)

The biographies of the two billionaires are parallel: Trump is a reality television star; Berlusconi is a media magnate who disrupted Italy’s highly regulated television industry. They share the same bombastic, insulting style, with their vitriol often targeting strong women ranging from Megyn Kelly to Angela Merkel. Each man presents himself as a political outsider despite decades of purchasing influence in the halls of power. Before America needed to be made “great again,” Berlusconi hawked a soccer chant, Forza Italia, to stress the anti-political nature of a new political movement. Trump expresses admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin; Berlusconi was an intimate political associate.

Donald Trump Hates Women
It’s the one position he’s never changed.

(...)

Each demonstration of his caveman views—about Megyn Kelly’s menstruation, about Carly Fiorina’s face, about the size of his member—produces a show of mock-horror before Trump resumes his march to the nomination.

(...)

In his view, treating women like meat is a necessary precondition for winning, and winning is all that matters in his world. By winning, Trump means asserting superiority. And since life is a zero-sum game, superiority can only be achieved at someone else’s expense.

(...)

This is one reason that evangelicals, both men and women, gravitate to Trump, despite his obvious lack of interest in religion and blatantly loose morals. He represents the possibility of a return to patriarchy, to a time when men were men, and didn’t have to apologize for it.

(...)

the same spirit informs his politics—the rampant cruelty, the violent impulses, the thirst for revenge, the absence of compassion. Misogyny isn’t an incidental part of Donald Trump. It’s who he is.

quote:

CNN’s Kate Bolduan brought pro-Trump Boston Herald columnist Amanda Cohen and former Cruz communications director Amanda Carpenter on her show to discuss this week’s heated fight between the Republican presidential candidates over their wives.

Asked if she thought Trump should move on after a week of name-calling, Cohen responded, “Oh absolutely. I think we should move on. Where we should move to is the National Enquirer story that says Ted Cruz has had affairs with five mistresses. You have been named, Amanda.”

(...)

Carpenter called the article “tabloid trash” that was “categorically false.”

“You should be ashamed for spreading this smut,” she said to Cohen.

(...)

“Let me be clear. This National Enquirer story is garbage," Cruz said in video captured by MSNBC. "It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen."

Trump denied any involvement with the National Enquirer story in a statement posted on Facebook Friday, saying "I had absolutely nothing to do with it, did not know about it, and have not, as yet, read it."

He couldn't resist taking a shot at his rival, however.

"Ted Cruz's problem with the National Enquirer is his and his alone, and while they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin' Ted Cruz," Trump said.

Liberals Brilliantly Troll The GOP With A Petition To Make Their Convention An ‘Open Carry Event’

Every time a school shooting happens, the idiots on the right yank out the memes and propaganda declaring that the school being a “gun free zone” is why it was chosen. They call the shooter a “lone wolf” or “mentally ill” and point out this his sister’s college roommate was a Democrat. The gun had nothing to do with it, and had there been more guns in the school it wouldn’t have gone down how it did.

On that one they are correct. Most experts agree that if you put more guns in a dangerous situation, especially where people are running and panicking, you’re going to end up with a deadly crossfire and more people will die senselessly. Still, the NRA-controlled Republican party stands by their platform of more guns for everyone, no matter who, in every situation, no matter what. Going out for breakfast? Bring your gun; a criminal (who has every right to a gun) might be there with a gun. Headed to the movies? Arm yourself. Some mentally ill guy with a gun (who has every right to carry it) may be there looking to calm the voices in his head.

Guns, guns, guns. With more than 300 million instruments of death in circulation, not including the homemade versions, the likelihood that we’ll ever see an end to the senseless violence is pretty slim. All we can do is point out the stupidity, abhor the violence and mock the hypocrisy when we see it happening around us. That’s exactly what one anonymous liberal did when he or she wrote and uploaded a petition to change.org.

The Republican National Convention, you see, is being held at the Quicken Loans Arena, which is a “gun free zone.” What better way to make them eat their own stupid words than at their official clown convention. The petition, a masterpiece of leftist trollery, takes aim at the Party, its leaders and base by calling for the following five points of action:

1. From the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland: A suspension of their policy preventing the open carry of firearms on the premises of the arena from July 18-21, 2016 to coincide with the Republican National Convention.

2. From the National Rifle Association: An immediate condemnation of the egregious affront to the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution constituted by the “gun-free zone” loophole to the state law.

3. From Ohio Governor John Kasich: A concerted effort to use his executive authority to override the “gun-free zone” loophole being exploited by the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

4. From Reince Priebus and the Republican National Committee: An explanation of how a venue so unfriendly to Second Amendment rights was chosen for the Republican Convention. Further, we demand a contingency plan to relocate the convention to another location should the Quicken Loans Arena refuse to honor the constitutional rights of the RNC guests to open carry firearms during the convention.

5. From all Republican candidates for President: You have been brave in raising awareness about the immense dangers posed by “gun-free zones.” In order to ensure the safety of your supporters, delegates and all attendees at the convention in July, you must call upon the RNC to rectify this affront to our Second Amendment freedoms and insist upon a suspension of the Quicken Loans Arena’s unconstitutional “gun-free zone” loophole. Every American is endowed with a God-given Constitutional right to carry a gun wherever and whenever they please.

The best part about this masterpiece is that some right-wing extremist social media pages have begun to catch on and post support for it, because yes, they are that stupid. You can read and sign the petition HERE. The comments are priceless, too. Enjoy!

Bij Cruz en met name Trunp gaan de belastingen flink af (in mijn geval bijna 4k), wat bijna ongeloofwaardig is.
Bij clinton betaal ik paar tientjes meer
Maar bij Sanders gaan de belastingen flink omhoog (in mijn geval 5k), terwijl ik zeker niet behoor de 1% of "millionairs or billionairs"

Ongeveer 7k omhoog bij Sanders, 5k omlaag bij Cruz en 4k omlaag bij Trump. Bij Clinton ongeveer gelijk.
