I wonder if Republicans will demand the full release of Chris Christie's emails with the same indignation directed towards Hillary?

I would expect them to show the same level if indignation as Dems have.

Has Trey Gowdy extended his invitation to sit in front of his committee for the day yet?

If Christie manages to crawl his way up in the primaries then one of the Republican wannabes will bring up Bridgegate.

Flavius will probably freak out when he learns that I'm also an independent.

That being said, I oppose the concept of open primaries. It's their party (thank Zeus), not mine, so I don't believe that I should have he option to choose their candidates.

Hillary seems to be saying she is suffering from lead poisoning?

I've declared as independent for years. Now, to be completely honest, until the Republicans disown the homophobes and racists, I don't feel very independent.

As an anti-Republican, I vote for the candidate who has the best chance of beating the Republicans.

Holds up hand. Another independent here. I believe I still have 4 days to decide if I want to change my registration.

And release all of Condie Rice's and Colin Powell's too? Oops those are retroactively secret too.

It's hardly my fault that the Republican Party has veered so sharply to the right since I became a citizen.

I've no interest in registering as a Republican (or as a Democrat).
