I agree with this.

The Clinton people don't seem to get that.

The Bernie Bros and Hillarybots will form an uneasy coalition to defeat Trump but after that all bets are off. The Democratic party is just as fractured now as the Republicans were after the Tea Party arrived on the scene. Both major parties are in for a period of massive restructuring and the corporate Neo-liberal Third Way Democrats are finished.

Poor old Bob is just like all the pundits who have been saying Trump can't do this and can't do that, and the UK won't leave the EU etc. Clueless.

Good, I've never been a big fan of the 3rd Way but it did get Bill in office back in '92 and to some extent Obama in '08.

I hope the millennials actually show up to vote in '16 and stay engaged through '18, '20 and further into the future so we Dems can ungerrymander the House.

I hope you older heads keep after the kids after this election. They need to understand that revolutions come from the bottom up. Get them on city councils, school boards, water district boards and state government. That's where real power is manifested.

It's their future and they have to grab it. You and me are just old fuckin' hippies with one foot in the grave.

Yeah, I'm still shy of 60, eunuch and I ain't goin' anywhere anytime soon.
Not while there are conservatives and libertarians like you left to piss off.

I prefer "Junkless" or "Smoothie".

Ironic, isn't it? When Bob Dole said that he wanted to be "the bridge to the past" during the 1996 election, Bill Clinton made hay with the response: "'We do not need to build a bridge to the past, we need to build a bridge to the future!''

20 years later, Hillary Clinton is absolutely the "bridge to the past."

You and Bob are preoccupied with peckers. Whatever blows your dress up.

Never think that you are going to piss me off about anything.

Anybody who makes 30,000 posts on a forum that a dozen people look at on it's best day is a statement in itself.
