Jan 2016

this Woman needs to be called on this comment. We should all call,send email or whatever to have this in front of the ethics committee. This is over top. If the Hillary supporters,especially those here directly from her campaign you need to let this woman know that this comment is over the top.
If the Clinton campaign is this desperate than Hillary is going to lose.
This is something Karl Rove would have orchestrated or Dick Cheney or Liz Cheney.
This is a Republican style strategy and for any Clinton supporter that agrees with this than you should be ashamed. should be ashamed

Jonathan Martin from the NYT is nothing but a Republican hack. He is formally from the National Review,and the New Republic and has written other flattering articles for Hillary praising her.

so another Republican that loves Hillary
