Hillary Clinton Reacts to San Bernardino Shooting
(Willie J. Allen, Jr. / Associated Press) Clinton responded quickly to the breaking news of the shooting on Twitter, urging "we must take action to stop gun violence" and stating she "refuses to accept this as normal". Hillary remains a firm stand on pushing the need for stricter gun control in light of the latest in a long string of mass shootings. Clinton was speaking about the need for gun control at a campaign stop in Florida when the attack on Inland Regional Services in San Bernardino, California started to unfold on Wednesday afternoon, according to ABC News' Liz Kreutz. Clinton told her supporters it is time to stand up to the gun lobby and spoke of common sense solutions to gun violence. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/12/hillary-clinton-san-bernardino-shooting-gun-control. |

According to The Wall Street Journal they mentioned that, "Hillary Clinton is calling for a round of tax cuts for the middle class that would be paid for with higher taxes on wealthier households". In brief, Hillary's plan would insert hundreds of billions dollars into middle-class households, which will enable them to better cope with rising expenses. Hillary would also offer a tax credit to help people pay out-of-pocket health-care costs, and individuals would receive as much as $2,500 from the credit; families, $5,000.

Hillary Has a Plan for ISIS
On Thursday Hillary Clinton said that the U.S. should crush
the Islamic State group with a broader international coalition that employs
intensified airstrikes on a greater number of targets, but insisted the ground
fight should be led by Sunni Muslims and Kurdish forces, with American troops
playing only a limited advisory role. “Turning away orphans, applying a
religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every
single Syrian refugee – that is just not who we are. We are better than
that," she said. "Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful
and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism."
Clinton seemed poised and delivered her speech calmly. Many think this is a
good thing to have in a president; however, there are still many who disagree
with her ideas because letting in refugees could very well let in terrorists.

Clinton is high in Polls because of the incident in Paris
In the wake of last
week’s attacks in Paris, Americans say Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
are the White House hopefuls best able to handle the threat of terrorism,
according to a new Reuters. The poll of 1,106 respondents taken after
Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris found that Clinton and Trump were preferred
by approximately 20% of respondents each as the 2016 candidate “best suited to
deal with terrorism. “Trump and Clinton also took the top spots among
members of their own parties when it came to who could handle terrorism best,
as Trump topped Marco Rubio, who’s made foreign policy a centerpiece of his
campaign, among Republicans. Both candidates have also long held overall
polling leads in their bids for their parties’ presidential nominations, though
Trump and Ben Carson have alternated in the top spot among Republicans in
recent surveys. While they may share a spot atop the Reuters poll when it comes
to dealing with terrorism, they’ve staked out very different policy terrain in
the days since the Paris attacks. Trump has argued that less restrictive gun
laws in France would’ve helped foil the attackers. He’s also opposed moves to
allow Syrian refugees into the United States, suggesting instead the creation
of a safe zone in Syria. Clinton, meanwhile, denounced on Twitter Tuesday what
she called the “hateful rhetoric from the GOP” on the refugee question, saying
“the idea that we’d turn away refugees because of religion is a new low.”

According to the News Week article, it mentioned that months prior to the presidential primary Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has received public support from more than half of her party's insiders, according to Associated Press. In brief, The AP contacted each of the 712 superdelegates to ask which candidate they would vote for at the Democratic National Convention next summer. More than 80% of the superdelegates responded. In the last two weeks Clinton was able to solidify support from 359 superdelegates. This number gives Hillary an advantage over her two rivals. As of now, Bernie sanders stands with support from eight superdelegates and a Martin O'Malley with only two. The rest of the 210 delegates said they are not committed to a particular democratic candidate. It is also stated that these 712 superdelegates make up 30% of the 2,382 delegates needed to with the Democratic nomination.

Dick Cheney (former vice President) syas Hilarys in big trouble!!
Former Vice President Dick Cheney doesn’t not think Hilary has a chance of winning the election this year. He accused Obama and Clinton of rushing to cover up details of the September 2012 attack on a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, because “it was election time and it was shortly before the 2012 election and they had a narrative going that once they got Osama bin Laden the problem was solved, there was no terrorism problem anymore -- they didn’t want to admit that there was a problem out there. The data suggested there was." “It’s pretty clear to me ... that in fact she did not handle the matter appropriately, that she consciously misled the American people and that I think it does raise serious, serious doubts about her capacity to be president of the United States, he added later. Cheney is especially concerned with Clinton's decision to use a private e-mail address while serving as secretary of state. “I’ve got to believe that she knew that she had to protect and safeguard the classified information that she was party to as secretary of state, one of the most important jobs in our government," he said. Clinton has said that she did not receive information on her private account that was deemed classified -- a statement that has since been disputed by congressional Republicans.
As Hillary Clinton's lead grows, does Bernie Sanders have a chance?
As Hillary Clinton's lead grows, does Bernie Sanders have a chance?
There's more good news for Clinton: Her net favorable rating among Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters is 63 percent, up from 49 percent just before the first Democratic debate, according to a Nov. 9 Gallup poll. Senator Sanders is trailing here, too, with a net favorable rating of 38 percent, down 1 percentage point since the last debate.

The Brady Campaign to end violence is giving an award to
Hillary for her efforts on controlling violence. "Throughout her
career as a public servant, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly put the safety of
the American people above the influence and interests of the corporate gun
lobby," Brady president Dan Gross said in a statement to CBS News.
"She serves as an example for all policymakers who truly want to serve the
constituencies they are elected to represent." Since launching her second
presidential campaign, Clinton has made new proposals about gun
control. The inaugural Governor Mario Cuomo Leadership Award will be
presented to Clinton next Thursday, November 19 during the center's annual gala
in New York City.

On Friday November 6th, Hillary Clinton announced a new criminal justice reform in which she's advocating a break with "mass incarceration". According to the article it stated that her new plan includes cutting prison time for non- violent offenses and reducing the application of mandatory minimum sentences. Hillary says she would also reform the excessive use of "strikes" to lengthen prison sentences and that she would also cut non-violent drug offenses from that list of crimes.

Poll: Clinton Ties Carson in '16 Matchup, but Tops Other GOP Candidates
One year out before the 2016 general election, Hillary Clinton and Ben Carson
are tied in a hypothetical matchup, but Clinton leads three other major
Republican candidates, according to brand-new numbers from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Clinton is ahead of Republican Donald Trump by
eight points among registered voters, 50 percent to 42 percent. She leads
former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by four points, 47 percent to 43 percent. And
Clinton holds a three-point advantage over Sen. Marco Rubio, 47 percent to 44
percent, though that's well within the poll's margin of error of plus-minus 3.4
percentage points. But against Ben Carson, who is now leading the GOP horserace in the NBC/WSJ poll,
Clinton finds herself in a tied contest, 47 percent to 47 percent. The reason
why Carson performs better versus Clinton than the rest of the GOP field is due
to Carson's standing among independent voters. Carson leads Clinton by 13
points among independents (47 percent to 34 percent). That's compared with
Rubio's seven-point lead here (42 percent to 35 percent), Bush's four-point
lead (41 percent-37 percent) and Trump's four-point lead (43 percent to 39
percent).

In recent poll numbers Hillary Clinton still dominates the now smaller Democratic side of candidates with 50%. With Webb, Biden, and Chafee out of the race only three remain. Although Sanders is losing by 20% he's still a force to consider because he has a solid segment of younger voters. With the other two candidates (O'Malley, Lessig) they haven't been able to make a big dent in their campaigns, which might lead them to withdraw from the race.

Hilary and her views on death penalties
In an article Amy Chozick
wrote, it seems as if Clinton wants to have some adjustments on death penalties.
“We
have a lot of evidence now that the death penalty has been too frequently
applied, and too often in a discriminatory way,” she said. “So I think we have
to take a hard look at it.” Mrs. Clinton added, “I do not favor abolishing it,
however, because I do think there are certain egregious cases that still
deserve the consideration of the death penalty, but I’d like to see those be very
limited and rare, as opposed to what we’ve seen in most states.” Mrs. Clinton
expressed support for the death penalty when she ran for the Senate in 2000.
Her husband, Bill, expanded the use of capital punishment as president by
signing the 1994 federal crime bill, parts of which Mrs. Clinton denounced this
spring in the first major policy speech of her 2016 campaign. In
that speech, she called for an end to the era of mass incarceration and for
improved relations between African-Americans and mostly white police forces,
but she did not wade deeply into the death penalty.

Sanders fit that description.

Hillary Clinton's Phone Call with Donald Trump
Recently Hillary Clinton went on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Although humorous, the video touched on serious subjects like women's' reproductive rights, immigration, and campaigning. Many think these shows are a good way to reach a younger audience. The humor makes it fun to watch and people get to see Hillary's stand on political views. These down to Earth interviews may be a factor to her considerable success in the polls.

Hillary Clinton dismisses Benghazi ‘conspiracy theories’ ahead of her testimony
As the race for the Presidency continues, Hillary Clinton is still haunted by incidents from her past and her position as Secretary of State. Will the continued assault on her actions during that tragedy effect her position in the poll's? Only time and the outcome of the House Committee on Benghazi will tell.

Recently, Hillary Clinton stated that she was in support of the "Australian Model" concept of gun control, which basically hinges on banning most common firearms, and confiscation through forced buy backs. She was then asked by New Hampshire man, "if we can do that? If we can't, why can't we? Hillary in response stated that,"I think it's worth considering, I do not know enough detail to tell you how we would do it, or how it would work". Many individuals are arguing that Hillary is encouraging radical gun control, and she hasn't thought things through.

Obama Irritates the FBI - Hillary Clinton Emails
On Sunday, Barack Obama made an appearance on "60 Minutes". During the show, he attempted to downplay the significance of Clinton's Email fraud, stating "I don’t think it posed a national security problem". While he did say it was a mistake for Clinton to do what she did, he emphasized that it wasn't a situation in which America's national security was threatened. This miffed the FBI because they spent months researching if the security was somehow threatened, and for Obama to quickly dismiss any possibility of danger when they are not finished with the investigation made it seem like he was deciding the case for them, and clearing anyone of doing something wrong. "It was inappropriate for the president to suggest what side of the investigation he is on when the F.B.I. is still investigating" said Ron Hosko. Hosko is the president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, and a former senior F.B.I.
Next week, Clinton is scheduled to testify before the Republican controlled House committee. They will be investigating the attack in Benghazi, Libya that happened in 2012. The committee is expected to question Clinton about her unorthodox email arrangement.

Hilary Clinton is downplaying her gender card again
Author
Sally Kohn writes an article about how Hilary Clinton is playing her gender
card again and why women should be elected to be president. At the first
democratic debate she repeatedly tells voters she would be the first women to
be president and she would be a good and an effective president. Clinton thinks
she is the most experienced and knows how to get things done better and faster.
That’s what she says rhetorically at almost every debate she has, which is kind
of getting old already. She states, “As a woman, you're
really held to a totally different standard, and you're expected to be both
strong and vulnerable at the same time”. In a way people do agree with Hilary,
yes women are not supposed to not be able to have job, they can have a good
profession, but there’s a limit to how much you can let women take control. Where
are the moms who stay home and take care of their children? Where are the moms
who cook dinner and have quality time with their families? It is understandable that a women should have
a part time job but she should have time to spend with her family.

Hillary Clinton heckled by protester during annual awards event!
Hillary Clinton had presented the 2015 Medallion of Excellence award to Spanish- American chef Jose Andres at the annual congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala, when she was interrupted by Juan Carlos Ramos. Mr. Ramos is associated with the advocacy group United We Dream Action. He basically held a sign that read "Hillary for immigrants in prison", and began chanting "Hillary were watching". Mr. Ramos was basically proposing that the Clinton campaign is undermining her pro-immigrant policy promises, and that she should stand with the community. Hillary did not address the protester.

FBI has access to all Clintons backed-up emails !!!
An article
written by Rachel Bade this week on POLITICO, was talking about how all the
data firm could be given to the FBI, which means that all of Hilary Clintons
emails can be read by the FBI. This situation is not looking so good for
Clinton because it’s just going to cause people not to vote for her because
there is evidence that Clinton was trying to hack into other accounts. Rachel states that, “The
news, first reported by McClatchy Tuesday, heightened the possibility that
copies of Clinton’s messages — including roughly 30,000 “personal” messages she
said she deleted — exist somewhere and could be recovered by the FBI”. Voters might
have a problem with this because they want a president who will lead the nation
with integrity not with treachery.

Hillary's Ironic Gun Statements
A recent shooting in Oregon allowed Hillary Clinton to bring up the issue of gun laws. On October 5, 2015 she spoke at Manchester Community college, stating "We have got to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them." Clinton aspires to have more thorough background checks done to prevent the mentally ill, domestic abusers, and felons from obtaining weapons.
Ironically, the weapons used in the Oregon shooting were bought legally from a licensed dealer by the killer and another relative. This means that the killer passed background checks. He did not have any criminal or psychiatric record, which usually is the case with mass shooters. Background checks many times cannot prevent shootings due to the fact that they cannot predict whether or not the person wants to accomplish a mass shooting. In addition, there are many ways a killer can get their hands on a gun without it being legal. After all, criminals often times do not worry about everything being legal.

Is Hilary going to have more trouble running for president ?
This week Hilary Clinton might have just lost some fans. A reporter from the Star Washington Bureau says that Hilary called Washington as an"Indianoplace". Reporter Maureen Groppe wrote what Clinton stated, "Are you still in the basketball crazed Indianoplace" ? Clinton wrote in an email an aide in 2010,one of the many missives or maybe we should call them diss-ives - recently released by the U.S. Department in response to a freedom of information act lawsuit. This is what Groppe states. So all will do is wait and see what may happen to Clintons fans.
Hillary Clinton's weekly campaign
Hillary Clinton still leads Sanders and Biden, but not by much. Clinton no longer commands the support of a majority. With Clinton being backed up by 41% of likely Democratic voters, Biden and Sanders are backed up by 20% and 23%.
