BREAKING: WikiLeaks Announces âOctober Surpriseâ That Will âTake Downâ Hillary Clinton (DETAILS) WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, claims he will release more hacked emails from Hillary Clinton that will affect the U.S. election.

President Barack Obama's sound approval rating may not be an indicator of Democrat Hillary Clinton's chances in 2016, either. The last time voters elected a Democrat to the White House after a president from the same party had just served a full term was in 1856, before the Civil War.
