Bill Maher offered Liz Warren $1 mil to run tonight. She turned him down.

I really wish the Dems had somebody better than Hillary to run. She served on Walmarts board of directors from 1986 to 1992 and had something to do with that companies labor relations model......Which I don't much care for at all. Unfortunately, it looks like the Republicans are all tying to out asshole each other again. So, if it comes down to Hillary and Ted Cruz or any of his ilk................

I'll have to hold my nose.

The problem with Hillary is that too many people just do not like her. Bill on the other hand was a quite likeable character. And, Obama had great enthusiasm, hopefulness, wishful thinking

Whoever the Democrat is will carry the 45% who are going to vote for any Democrat. But, Hillary will not likely carry the middle unless the Republicans nominate one of the far right.

So probably "Die Zeit" (a left liberal German Weekly Newspaper) is right saying that the most serious opponent of Hillary is Hillary. There is a somehow coldhearted attitude a lot of voters do not like. But she is of course clever enough to sell herself better this time.

I hope you show up here on the night of Nov. 8th, 2016.

I want to rub your nose in it.

She remains the most popular political figure in the country. After Benghazi, after emails, after anything else the right-wingjobs try to throw at her 24/7 on FOX news. The women's vote alone will give her enough to beat any sacrificial lamb the GOP tosses at her.

Nothing wrong with that.

He's your home boy.

If Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders are in the primary, I'll throw a vote their way just to try to pull Hillary a little to the left.
