In reply to the discussion: Poll: 50% Say Clinton Should Keep Running Even If Indicted [View all]BillZBubb
(10,650 posts)87. 71% say someone under indictment for a felony should keep running? That is disgusting.
The Democratic party truly has left me it seems. I would expect something like that from republicans, but never Democrats. The Third Way has won.
If the situation were reversed and it was the republican front runner under indictment, how many Democrats would feel the same?

I would rather vote for Jill Stein than Hillary. At least Jill Stein opposes the FTAS.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I can't imagine any major political party running an unindicted felon

So 71% of Dems are so asinine they won't budge no matter what, and 31% of Repugs are laughing at us.

And there is the number that proves the party has left me. 71% of Dems are okay with indictment.

Sixty-five percent (65%) consider it likely that Clinton broke the law.

We know she broke the law, the OIG said it. The only question left is whether her and/or her inner

By anyone, of course you mean "FBI" and by meme, of course you mean "evidence."

The "knowingly" element goes to the destruction, which is already a proven fact.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying the OIG is begging the issue? That she broke the law?

Of course Republicans want her to run if she's indicted. Got to be kidding me.

I'll take it a step further. If the 71% prevail, I will drop them like a bad habit.
