FFS at her age she is doing well to be able to turn on a computer. She probably hadnât a clue how her IT was set up and cared less.
In fairness this shouldnât be held against her as Roosevelt had no track record in IT apparently and he was a fine president.

:rolleyes: nothing to do with a track record in IT. as secretary of state she had legal obligations in relation to her email. that she chose to instruct some IT nerd to circumvent that is indicative of someone who is not to be trusted.
If he was an IT nerd , probably Indian, couldnât understand her acccent over the phone. She canât be responsible for that.
I have heard that she got an unsolicited phone call from âWindows Securityâ advising her that they noticed that her computer had a virus. She just followed instructions.
[QUOTE=âFitzy, post: 1123309, member: 236â]Little Marco Rubio launched yesterday, running mate material at this stage, but heâll be a serious GOP contender from 2020 onwards.
Not sure that anyone noticed, but humble Hilary Clinton launched on Sunday with a really nothing video. I expect a nothing campaign from her, short on specifics, all about look at me, you can trust me. Iâm disappointed that Joe Biden doesnât seem to want to run and really the Democrast have nothing after Hilary. A very dangerous position. Jeb Bush will have done all that campaigning in a bruising primary contest, will have honed his message, be battle hardened and come up against a Democrat candidate that really nothing much has been asked of. Hilary will struggle. If some fatal story / scandal / thing comes out about Hilary (which I think is highly likely), whatâs the alternative? Well itâs another Bush in the white house. That went so well the last time.
The GOP has a conga line of intellectually questionable and clearly deranged candidates. The Democrats have one candidate who has a myriad of potential banana skins in front of her. The only hope is that Hilary has incredible fund raising ability, I read one article talking about potentially $2.5 billion. Which is quite stunning.
Anyway, itâs always entertaining at least.[/QUOTE]
Elizabeth Warren would make a fine president but said she wont be running,hillary is a cunt shes way to cosy with the wall st mob and will do and say anything to win.Martin O Malley is goin to run against her he has connections to pallaskenry but the limerick crew will already know this,i think hes even been to Eddie Burkes

Wtf??
Fucking jokeshop that election is. Democracy is some load of shite.
Jeb Bush to officially announce his intention to run tonight. Hopefully it means a few of the right wing looneys declaring their candidacy will fook off. Heâll destroy Clinton once its one on one.
Since 1928, the Republicans have not held the Oval office without a Nixon or a Bush involved.
This will be a filthy campaign based on what WIllie and Dubya did when they were in power.
Fuckin and fightin
Nixon is also the only man ever to be elected to two terms as both President and Vice President
Itâs all over bar the shouting. Jeb launched his campaign today as a centralist compassionate conservative, which is what most in the US identify as, even if its bullshit. He will destroy the other Republican contenders as they are all unelectable for various reasons. By 2016 the US will be in recession and the sitting presidentâs party always gets the blame (Bush 1, Bush 2). He is to be known simply as âJebâ thereby jettisoning the Bush name, and in the coup de grace spoke in Spanish for a few minutes, thus locking up a sizable portion of the Hispanic vote. Any Republican who can get a sizable portion of the Hispanic vote will win, plain and simple.
Iâd love to know how much was spent on the logo. A fuck load Iâd say. Subtle running as Jeb rather than Bush, clever branding. Itâs a fucked up World that subtleties like that make a difference, but they do
That line gets trotted out a lot but its incorrect. Gerald Ford took over when Nixon resigned in 1974. Nelson Rockefeller was Fordâs appointee as vice president.
Its absolute genius given the electorate. A plain man of the people (on the board of Lehman among other fuckups, earning $3 - 4M for attending a few meetings since his governor stint), a bit of a latter day Dev!
Heâs 7/2 with powers though?
Finally, a candidate we can believe in.
This is based on the widely held view in the media that heâs unelectable due to (1) being a moderate Republican and (2) being Wâs brother. The latter objection will evaporate when people hear him speak, he is charismatic like W but also articulate. The former is an outdated myth as only a moderate from either party can be elected with todayâs demographics. Anyone thinking a ârealâ conservative like Cruz, Perry or Huckerbee could win is delusional.
Jeb will walk this. Morning in America.
I believe the line is that the Republicans have never âwonâ the prez race without a Nixon or Ford involved.
Ford didnât win his way to the Oval office.

Correct. In fact, Ford served as both President and Vice-President despite never being elected to either office as he had previously replaced the disgraced Spiro Agnew as Veep.
