Question is, how does a complete post - that contained no obvious CoC or TOS violations - completely disappear without a trace ...
The poster deleted their own post. Happens a lot, especially when they have second thoughts and decide they don't want a post to take a thread in a direction they don't want it to go.

It's not really without a trace, though, as the poster or any Mod can view and even undelete the post.

image.png I'll repost the gist of it. Congress historically is usually disliked or hated by the majority. People generally want everyone thrown out of office but their congressman.'Throw the bums out' is the mantra. And with two parties butting heads constantly it usually takes on a negative tone.
Regarding the current President,from what I gather, a couple things may be helping him with his favorabilty rating. One is the low gas prices and the other is the high stock market. The former, imo, is in spite of him. The latter is due to the FED artificially keeping interest rates low at the behest of administration for political reasons. Another reason is that even though the economy is limping along at a very slow rate, he has generally kept himself out of the news for the past year during the election season.(lame duck) so while he's basically on the golf course the other politicians are mostly slamming each other while he can appear above the fray.

News flash! Comey is reopening the FBI investigation into Clintons email use
And Pete William's "sources" report:

"... not a game changer ..."

One thing to keep in mind:

Unknown at this point whether any of the emails being looked at are even from Clinton.

Should be entertaining since some involve Anthony Weiner. lol. The email thing will go on for years. Wiki hasn't even dumped them all out yet. What a mess.

Have a look at RCP's "Generic Ballot" preference ... there hasn't been a single poll showing a Republican preference since mid-September.

Could change tho' ...

The newest GDP numbers probably won't hurt either ...

Crazy...The drip, drip of WikiLeaks hacked emails while Assange is holed up in an Equadorian Embassy backed up by a dead man's trigger,Trump, Hillary's investigation revisited due to Carlos Danger.
This is one wikiwacked election season.

That is probably the problem here. They already know they smashed 13 phones and it appears they found two more and a couple of other devices while investigating Weiner.
