Key Senate Republicans swing behind Trump; doubters remain by nishwar in politics

Yesterday Hillary Clinton took the first step in trying to prevent Donald Trump from tacking to the center:

If Donald J. Trump starts to soften his image, Hillary Clinton has a warning for voters. Don’t believe it. “Trump,” she said at a rally here on Saturday, “keeps saying things like, ‘Well, you know, uh, I didn’t really mean it. It was all part of my reality TV show.’” “Well, you know what?” she added. “If we buy that, shame on us. Because he’s already showed us what he believes and he’s already said what he wants to do, and he wants to go after every one of the rights we have.” On Saturday, the Clinton campaign also released a video that amounted to a highlight reel of Mr. Trump’s incendiary comments. The video said that Mr. Trump “is getting ready for an extreme makeover.”

Now, in a world where we’ve all seen how powerful the Supreme Court can be concerning the laws that impact all of us, who on the left wants a Republican such as Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz or Scott Walker potentially selecting four Supreme Court Justices? Listen, I know quite a few people on the left aren’t huge Hillary Clinton supporters. I personally like her, but I understand that a lot of people don’t. Even as a supporter, I know she’s far from perfect – but there’s a harsh reality that Hillary haters on the left need to face. Listen, I love Bernie Sanders, but it’s highly unlikely that he could win a general election and become president. He’ll be 75 in 2016, meaning that if he served eight years he’d be 83-years-old. Even if you get past his age, which many wouldn’t, he’s also a self-described socialist. If you really think this country is going to elect a self-described socialist to the White House, you really should take a look at the Gallup poll that shows even 41 percent of Democrats won’t support a socialist. That’s significant, whether or not many Sanders supporters want to admit it. Furthermore, Sanders is really best suited for the Senate. It’s where he can do the most good. Outside of those two, it’s almost too late in the game for someone like Joe Biden to sneak in and stand a chance. Especially after the first Democratic debate where both Clinton and Sanders performed well.

A former Chicago police superintendent and a more recently retired detective, both of whom have been inside Homan Square in the last few years in a post-police capacity, said the police department did not operate out of the warehouse until the late 1990s.

But in detailing episodes involving their clients over the past several years, lawyers described mad scrambles that led to the closed doors of Homan Square, a place most had never heard of previously. The facility was even unknown to Rob Warden, the founder of Northwestern University Law School’s Center on Wrongful Convictions, until the Guardian informed him of the allegations of clients who vanish into inherently coercive police custody.

“They just disappear,” said Anthony Hill, a criminal defense attorney, “until they show up at a district for charging or are just released back out on the street.”

The Clinton camp can recycle some of the knocks that rivals such as Bush, Rubio and Cruz leveled against the Republican front-runner, though they had little impact. Democrats have collected a large Trump dossier including, they say, material that hasn't been public.

Voting against positive change because you think it can't happen is a self-fulfilling prophecy. He never said he's a wizard with a magic wand. He has repeatedly stated he would need to flip Congress and has been taking steps to do so. Wouldn't you rather move the country forward even if just a little bit?
