In GOPLand, do territories not get to vote for President?


Here.... this should help you understand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_voting_rights_in_Puerto_Rico

Nice attempt at trying to justify Obama’s blunder.


Did you watch the roll call last night? There are exactly 57 jurisdictions with delegates to the convention; 50 states and 7 jurisdictions without electoral votes, including:

American Samoa
Democrats Abroad
Guam
Northern Marianas
Puerto Rico
Unassigned
Virgin Islands

I've heard this "joke" about Obama for years and wondered if the people who repeat were just ignorant of that or if there was some next-level humor I was missing.


At the risk of going off topic, here is what Obama said:

"it is just wonderful to be back in Oregon, and over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in fifty .... seven states? I think one left to go. One left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit but my staff would not justify it."

He didn’t say, “states and territories.” He said, “states.”

And, how did he respond when questioned about this blunder?

Talking with reporters at a later campaign stop, Senator Obama expressed concern that he'd recently misstated both the number of potential victims of a recent cyclone in Burma and the number of states he'd visited, saying:
"I hope I said 100 thousand people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It's a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh ..."


This is from Snopes, who rated the claim that he said “57 states” true: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/57states.asp

And, yes, he was campaigning and misspoke. Same as Trump today about NJ. When corrected by a reporter, he corrected himself.
It is a nonissue.


Not when he responds, "Whatever, same thing" when corrected. Idiot. (Trump, not you)


WTF? No he didn’t. He acknowledged it was VA.
Where are you people getting your information?

I am far from an Obama fan, and yes, he misspoke here. But, I am pretty tired of evaluating every.single.word that every politician utters.
I am the person that posted this blunder in response to the poster that was up in arms about Trump saying Kaine was from NJ, and not VA.
It was a mistake, pure and simple.
He is human - just like Obama is human.


NP. Yes, Obama misspoke. And Trump misspoke when he mixed up NJ and VA.

Inviting Russian hackers to publish private emails, whether they are of Joe Anybody or of the Secretary of State, is not supporting transparency. It's wrong.


He was not making an “invitation.”
He was being sarcastic, and making a point that HRC has deleted just as many emails as she turned over.
And, it was effective.

How do you "invite" someone to hack things that have been deleted?

It's wrong. Wikileaks publishing private emails of anybody is not transparency, it's wrong. We have a process in this country for publishing information that is supposed to be public -- we don't need Wikileaks to publish private information that is not supposed to be public. (I don't care whether the emails are about yoga or the nuclear codes, they are private and shouldn't be published by Wikileaks.)

He did not say this and you know it ..........


He absolutely said this. I just listened to him say. I hope Putin likes me. I hope America does the right thing in November. This is not a reality show, this is real life.


Yep Trump says that because Putin is a racist ("he used the n-word....I was shocked") he can't work with Obama, but he'll be able to work with the Donald because they have their skin color in common.

And, for anyone who doesn’t take the time to watch the linked clip - the pp is lying.
Trump never said ANYTHING about skin color.
You are despicable, pp.

Why even joke about that? It makes him and the USA look stupid and classless... And if showcases how he will behave in the foreign policy arena if elected - like a buffoon.

You do know that even "deleted" items are never truly gone off of a server and can be recovered, right?

I was going to say this. How can people not know that deleted emails can be recovered?

The assumption is that they hacked her server and he is saying that if they have it he hopes they would be released. What is wrong with the release of emails that one of these parties have gained possession?


According to Republicans, all of the emails will include Hillary personally saying "stand down in Benghazi, I want all the bloodshed!" and other dire secrets you're sure are there, so it's weird you'd want them out there. Hacked. By invitation of a presidential candidate. For the "law and order" party.


I am a Sanders supporter, FYI ......... Clinton deleted emails that she claimed were personal. If they are still available anywhere - and the odds are they are available by someone who hacked her server - what is wrong with them being released? I am sure most people will not give a damn about her yoga classes, etc.


Aside from such an act being a federal crime?

My question, why the uproar over “inviting” them to hack something they probably already have?

FOIA them if you want to read her personal email and see if the State Dept will release them to you. Hacking her server/s and lifting them for release to the public is a federal crime and not the way to go about getting that info.

What are you guys talking about? Hillary has unplugged his servers and wiped them clean two years ago. Do you even understand you at least need to be able to connect to a computer to hack it?

Why?
He is actually very good at getting the press to focus on him and taking the story away from Clinton.
Instead of people talking about Bill’s speech last night, or Hillary “shattering the glass ceiling,” they are all over things he said in his press conference.

You don’t think he planned this? Of course he did.

What next? Is Trump going to call on ISIS to attack America under Obama?
Can the Democrats ask hackers to produce Trump's tax returns?
