I suspect millions of Americans are in this together with with Hillary and don’t even know it.
Just yesterday, I found out that I am.
On behalf of those allegedly in this together with Hillary, who really aren’t, I will gladly toast Hillary under two conditions.
Meanwhile, I am pleased to discover she is wasting money mailing people who would not vote for her under any circumstances.

Nice life you have there, pity if anything happened to it.
(lots of deaths seem to surround the Clintons).
…and you know…..that letter and its approach is exactly the tactic Adolph Hitler used.
It is called “shared guilt.”
“Hey you guys if I’m executed for crimes so will you be….” – Hillary
Where’s my cut of the Clinton Foundation extortion racket?
Does everybody have to be a rightwingnut like mish to hang out here?
It’s OK, you are simply in denial. Hillary broke the law…likely several of them. Just because the liberal press will cover for her does not change the facts.
IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A GOVERNMENT OFFICER TO USE AN UNSECURED EMAIL SERVER FOR GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. PERIOD. INTENT IS IRRELEVANT.
You are absolutely right and all of Washington knows this full well. This is why they should have indicted Hitlary’s staff as soon as this broke and made them all an offer they could not refuse and the Beech would be in prison was I type this.
I am hardly a right wing anything, more liberal (not libertarian) and I can’t stand Hillary. Been looking the facts ever since her husband was working in Arkansas and more corrupt couple is hard to find.
She offers no choice. She is not democratic. She is corrupt to the core.
baldski, are you a troll? Or, is this your first visit to Mish’s site? I am giving you the benefit of the doubt with those questions since anyone who knows Mish knows he is anything but a rightwingnut. It is truly amazing some people would go to the trouble to post such stupid things.
Baldski please use sarc tags
No.
As I have posted before, Clinton has hired a large number of trolls to post on line any place where they see anti-Clinton information. Just another example of what low lifes the Clinton are. To paraphrase Henry II can someone not rid us of this scum!
NOTE the source of this. Antiwar.com is definitely NOT a “rightwingnut” site:
The Deceptions of Hillary Clinton
by Andrew P. Napolitano
http://original.antiwar.com/andrew-p-napolitano/2015/08/19/the-deceptions-of-hillary-clinton/
Excerpt:
“Consider this. In the past month, the Department of Justice indicted a young sailor who took a selfie in front of a sonar screen on a nuclear submarine and emailed the selfie to his girlfriend. It also indicted a Marine who sent an urgent warning to his superiors on his Gmail account about a dangerous Afghani spy who eventually killed three fellow Marines inside an American encampment. The emailing Marine was indicted for failure to secure classified materials. Gen. David Petraeus stored top-secret materials in an unlocked desk drawer in the study of his secured and guarded Virginia home and was indicted for the same crimes. And a former CIA agent was just sentenced to three years in prison for destroying one top-secret email.”
But since anyone who would vote for HER isn’t interested in facts anyway…
Also NOTE that in none of the cases above did it take OVER A YEAR and 127 FBI agents investigating before the individuals were indicted for FAR less serious incidents of the mishandling of classified materials. THAT ALONE should tell you all you need to know about “justice” in this country. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
No sht man, like wow, she must be your number one fan or something. That is sooooo cool.
What did she say in the letter???
Sounds like she is in deep sht somewhere, and she is leaning on YOU dude!
Tell us the story Mike…Mish….hey man, she isn’t trying to pass you the blame for something is she?
No way, I heard she’s a real crazy when she gets going and all that… maybe she’s picking on you or somethin…. nooo this is real creepy now, its psycho stuff dude, stay away stay away, its a revenge on Bill man, you stay away from that woman, you hear.
I never opened the letter
Should I put it in a time capsule? or just burn it?
You could start a twitter #weareinthis2gether and see if it takes off…

Do what I’ve done once in the past when I received that kind of mail. If there is a postpaid envelope inside for a donation and a donation form, staple a check for $0.01 to the donation form leaving part of it hanging out when stapling the donation form shut a very large number of times and then mail it in the included envelope. I did that just to see if they’d cash it as I suspected they were honor bound to do. They did. Time wasted for them. A minor protest, but still better than just throwing it away burning/shredding it.
I am voting for Hilary and she will be the next president. I like Mish, but he’s wrong about who will be the next president.
Woah, voting for her and can’t spell her name? Now that’s commitment.
Ps. Sorry, couldn’t resist that one. 😉
Hilarious!
joelg5, don’t you mean Hillarious?
jean you obviously are totally clueless or otherwise you hate America.
Whittle on Trump

When I first saw an “I’m With Hillary” sign. I immediately made the connection with a t-shirt that says, “I’m with stupid =>”
The IRS auditor will see you now…
So this is the stupid sh*t they waste all the Wall St/corporate money on.
Incompetent, corrupt, sociopathic imbeciles.
Our “leaders”.
LOL.
Not to worry, her postage could be covered by either the taxpayer directly, or maybe her non profit foundation,,,,who knows? Put NOTHING past these sociopaths.
“Mike, we are this together …..”
If I got a letter like that from Hillary I’d be compelled to open it up. I’d be afraid that she might have something on me, particularly if I was a journalist. That’s the way the Clinton’s play ball.
Hey Mish, if your curiosity gets the best of you and you pop that letter open let us know what’s inside, ok?
In the meantime, I’m waiting with bated breath.
This should be a novel election, and will be the first time I’ve seen a Republican running to the left of the Democrat:
http://rightwingnews.com/trump/trump-already-running-left-hillary-clinton/
With the primary behind him, Trump will treat is primary rhetoric as “suggestions” of what he might do, not as campaign promises, and he’ll try to pick up support from Sanders voters.
At this point I expect to support Hillary as the more conservative of the two, but I also may vote for Austin Peterson, who is the Candidate I would LIKE to see win. Unfortunately he doesn’t have a chance. Therefore, if the race is expected to vote for Hillary. If not, I’ll vote for Peterson, if he gets the nomination of the Libertarian Party. If Johnson or McAfee get the nomination, they won’t get my vote.
At this juncture, voting for either mainstream party is a vote for evil. Maybe better to abstain, to avoid further encouragement?
If the Libertarians will nominate a legitimate candidate like Peterson, instead of a crazy person, I think they will surprise people with how much support they get. A lot of people have taken the quiz at isidewith.com, and are surprised to find Libertarians at the top of the list of people they agree with the most. Libertarians have done a lot of damage to themselves over the years by nominating crazy people, instead of solid, intelligent people with legitimate policy ideas, and realistic goals.
Johnson is the Libertarian candidate with the most reasonable Libertarian agenda AND the only one with real political experience, being a former state governor. Nothing “crazy” about that. So what don’t you like about Johnson, Carl? How about some facts instead of just unsupported opinion which is not worth posting?
Based on his recent visit to my state, in which he left everyone despising him who was involved in inviting him here to speak, Johnson is a jerk, a personally detestable person. In addition, he only seems to have one issue that he cares about, legalization of marijuana. I do support legalizing it, but that’s far from the most important issue facing American. In fact, I’d rank it as one of the least important issues. If he is the nominee, the Libertatian Party will remain a laughingstock.
Thank you Carl now I can understand your position. Trump seems somewhat like a jerk also but I like that he is upending the establishment politicians. I wish a Libertarian could be elected and do that but, sadly, no chance.
I saw Peterson in Stossel’s Libertarian debate and I did not care for him, he seemed the least libertarian of the 3. Just my opinion.
Peterson may well be the least Libertarian of the three, but he is the most pragmatic of the three. Pure libertarianism is never going to be acceptable in today’s world, and some degree of pragmatism is going to be required, both to get elected, and also to actually govern. That is why I favor Peterson.
Long time reader Mish and lately I must say I think you are making this blog too much about you…it’s like an author who writes himself into the story. Nobody cares about you personally. They care about your insights on economic topics. All I see lately are your personal election forecasts. You don’t know what will happen any more than the next person. Move on.
Of my last 30 posts one was about the US election.
There were others on Spain and Brexit.
None of this is about me except my mocking of Hillary.
If you think you can avoid the election anywhere – well – give it a try.
And these elections in the US and elsewhere do matter economically.
Well…then I stand corrected and must be drowning in election season like most others. Write on!
Last time I looked it said mishtalk.com so I have been under the impression the column IS about Mish and what he thinks about things. Quite often Mish says very intelligent and insightful things. I will also submit that I and others do indeed care very much about Mish and have shared good times and sad times with him. Your comments are unwarranted.
Bloggers are rated buy the number of comments they get, and I have been noticing that when Mish writes about Trump and/or the election, that easily gets the most comments. Apparently most readers are more interested in the election than you are, cc. Consider that the outcome of the next election will have a huge effect on the economy.
Agree. Mish is started to sound like Rush Limbough. i love his objective news analysis. But this blog is not appreciated.
Rush Limbaugh?
Well – No
Can’t even stand the guy
He is up there in the warmonger crowd possibly for Hillary but cannot say so
Rashmi, I see your comments, spelling, punctuation and conclusion as out of place and unappreciated. Perhaps you are one of the professional trolls the Hitlery campaign has supposedly hired?
“Worst POTUS ever” is a tough act to follow, but I think Hillary can pull it off! 🙂
Favorite campaign slogan: “Hillary for the Big House in 2016”. Hey, if the shoe fits (and it really does). P.S. No one I can think of currently – with the possible exception of BHO is more deserving of being mocked than the “Dowager Empress of Chappaqua”. Keep up the good work! “We mocked some folks.”
One of my favorite slogans in line with “Hillary for the Big House.” “Orange is the new pantsuit.”
I will vote for Peterson as well if he is the Libertariian candidate, otherwise I’ll be sitting out this election. Trump and Hillary are two sides of the same coin; both are progressives who will expand the tyranny of the federal government.
Rat you have not been paying attention. Hellary is not only going to WAY MORE expand the tyranny of the federal gov’t, she is the most corrupt candidate in at least a century.
I agree that Hillary and Bill are corrupt. In fact, I believe both have committed treason and should suffer the same fate as the Rosenbergs. I am not responsible for Congress refusing to uphold the rule of law and impeach both of them or the DOJ and the FBI not bringing indictments.
Trump has too many authoritarian tendencies. You may dismiss his bluster as just campaign rhetoric, but I must take him at his word. He has advocated telling private businesses they cannot leave the US, ordering the military to commit war crimes, amending the libel laws to prosecute journalists who write unfavorable articles about him. He has disavowed every policy he has advocated, stating they are only suggestions. Policies he has advocated and then walked back include raising taxes on the rich, imposing high tariffs, increasing the minimum wage, prosecuting women for having abortions, changing the party platform on abortion, funding Planned Parenthood, expanding ethanol subsidies, no reform of entitlement programs which means no meaningful debt reduction program. He is for a “touchback” amnesty program for illegal aliens and a single payer health care system.
Given all his flip flops and lies, I don’t see how anyone can seriously believe anything the mans says. One thing is for certain, under his presidency, the country would move even further away from free enterprise and constitutional principles of separation of powers, a limited federal government, and individual freedom.
“we are in this together”
that might just be meaningless enough to rival the “yes we can” slogan. we can what? what are we in? those phrases can mean anything to anyone without ever committing the candidate to a position.
the only thing negative about hillary’s slogain is that it has too many syllables for most of her likely followers
Mish,
Ignore the comments. This is an election season like no other. Comment on it.
By the way, I want one of those letters if there is money inside.
Don’t forget to open the Hillary letter and return empty the post paid envelope for campaign contributions. I have the same treatment for credit card offers in the mail. At least the postage bill to the organization will pay for some good jobs at the post office while at the same time as reducing profits for evil organizations..
I would wipe the letter of any fingerprints and take it to a post office and tell them it was delivered to you by mistake. God forbid if HC wins you don’t want to find yourself sitting in some Clinton Foundation black site explaining why you didn’t send in your contribution
Seriously, Mish? Have you not been listening to Rush Limbaugh? If you had you would know he is a big Trump supporter and would rather die than vote for Hillary. You claim to despise Rush yet you and he are supporting the same candidate. One of you is wrong.
Baldski—“Does everybody have to be a rightwingnut like mish to hang out here?”
No–although -i always thought i was a leftwingnut.
listening to Hilary Clinton is enough to make any one change their mind/religion etc
