In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
The Collapsing Hillary Clinton video has so many interesting aspects it’s like the Zapruder film. LOL Oh well, this detail stuff is what CTH is known for – so lets explore.

There are flashes of the old white house correspondent Jake Tapper in this interview; the dogged approach we used to respect. Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook is clearly lying (there’s another video below fold), and misleading, in this interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Tapper, along with just about everyone else who is intellectually honest, knows Mook is lying… But Tapper just can’t bring himself to fall back on those old journalistic teachings of how to expose a liar by getting into details.

Despite Tapper’s retreat, you can clearly see Robby Mook is lying during the interview. Earlier this morning the Mook-speak was also brutally obvious. See interview #2: (more…)
Hillary Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer. Fallon attempts to deploy his full Baghdad Bob routine to explain his candidate’s current health condition.
For anyone who has followed events, he fails miserably. However, for the low-information crowd there’s a large number of people who don’t know enough to see the lies. It appears the Clinton campaign is counting on the latter group.
Comments about Secretary Clinton’s health are at 04:26 of the video below (prompted):

[ TRANSCRIPT ] Thank you. I am honored to be here today. Let me extend my special gratitude to General Ashenhurst and General Hargett, and to each and every one of you.
The National Guard of the United States has defended this nation at war, kept our citizens safe at home, and rushed into danger wherever it has threatened our people.
Our debt to you is eternal.
Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The National Guard was sent to assist in the aid and recovery efforts at Ground Zero in New York City.
Since 9/11, there have been 780,000 members of the National Guard deployed overseas – including those with multiple deployments. Right now, 10,000 members of the National Guard are in Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other countries across the world. (more…)
