Hillary is already been bought so nothing for you to worry about till 2020 anyway. She will probably win the general election unless another damaging skeleton from her closet pops out, or as she should, believe that she is better qualified for being a grandmother.
What do you want?


I am not a big Hillary fanatic...I just know who the best choice is right now at this moment. Trust me, if you think Sanders will come in and run the money lenders from the temple you are going to be in for the biggest disappointment ever. Americans pick consensus Presidents (although that might be under challenge at this unique moment)...Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Reagan, Carter, Obama, Bush...all moderates more alike in results no matter what party they were from. This applies to both Clintons too.

I think Obama's color and the structural changes from the Great Recession have a lot to do with people not accepting him...but he is not too different from his predecesors.

Never watched the American version as the BBC one spoiled me for any other attempts.

Sorry, TJ, it won't work.
Election campaigns should come out of the public purse it might be the only way to kill the influence of the Koch bros. No outside money allowed.

Worked the opposite way for me. After watching Kevin Spacey & Robin Wright, the BBC characters struck me as ever so affected and prissy.

That is, after I'd seem this guy smirk through this line a few times, I was done:

That may be why I never did. Frank Underwood is no Francis Urquhart.

By the way, the original is on Netflix.

Shredded cheddar, as the slightest of concessions to moderation? But yes!
