First of all, a self-proclaimed Democrat trying to use 'gerrymandering' in a negative context is really amusing.
Secondly, yes; every dog has his day, that's the point -- and your dog had its day from 2008 through 2013 and has been choking it up like a drunken prom queen ever since.
What's it called? Denial?
Actually, I voted for Bill Clinton during that time. I was a big time lib back then. In case you haven't noticed most white collar criminals get away with their activities. It's not just Hillary. Plus, that whole E-Mail situation is bad. Very bad. If you can't see it for what it is you really need to quit drinking the Kool Aid.

I think a centrist candidate most definitely can (and will) win. I never said they couldn't. Because the sprint for the middle is a basic tenet of American electoral politics in the 21st century. It's all about the swing and how much of your base you can hold onto without hemorrhaging votes somewhere.

More of Bush's comments following his 'walk back' of the Iraq comment:
"That's not to say that there was a courageous effort to bring about a surge that created stability in Iraq. All of that is true. And that is not to say that the men and women that have served in uniform and many others that went to Iraq to serve, they did so, they did so honorably. But, we've answered the question now, so now going forward, what's the role of America going forward. Are we going to pull back now and be defeatists and pessimistic or are we going to engage in a way that creates a more peaceful and secure world. That is what 2016's about.
"Not about 2000, not about 1992, not about 1980, but about the future. And I hope that you want leaders that are going to be forthright in their views that will express those views with compassion and conviction and do so so that there's a clear understanding for America's role in the world."

That kind of language makes it pretty clear how he's going to attack Hillary/Obama.
“If you knew in 2003 what we know now, would you have launched the war in Iraq?”
What is there to mis understand ?
On Monday, “If you knew in 2003 what we know now, would you have launched the war in Iraq?” Bush said he would have launched the war anyway.
On Tuesday: “If you knew in 2003 what we know now, would you have launched the war in Iraq?” Bush said he doesn’t know what he would have done.
On Wednesday: “If you knew in 2003 what we know now, would you have launched the war in Iraq?” Bush said he doesn’t even want to answer the question at all, because a response would be a “disservice” to U.S. troops.
And on Thursday: “If you knew in 2003 what we know now, would you have launched the war in Iraq?” Bush said he wouldn’t have launched the war.

We're not talking about ideological 'high-ground' -- frankly, that's irrelevant here -- we're talking about the results of elections dating back to 2010. It's a clear signal of change in basic ideological identification.

The amount of denial and wrongheadedness that you've exhibited in this thread is staggering.

Kim Dotcom is saying Julian Assange is going to come after Hillary hard next year. Has a lot of stuff on Hillary. Yu
Although, I imagine all the liberals who swore by Assange when leaked stuff about Bush will 'question' anything he releases in regards to Hillary
I think neoconservatives are going to come hard after Hillary on Benghazi. I would hammer on her to release the private email server data to a forensics team at every possible opportunity. I'm sure the worry on the Democrats side isn't so much a smoking gun, but a character assassination a la the Nixon tapes.
Gowdy claims he lacks the authority to force the server turnover, but the more likely explanation is that the party believes it can use its eventual nominee to force her hand vis a vis a public mandate.
If there's nothing to hide, why so shy? Jeb turned over all his emails months ago.
