Not this old white man. I would as soon vote for a child molester.

I'm an old white fart and proud of it. Sounds like we need our own pride day.

Entire general election will be one big damage control for Hillary. This move by the conservatives is going to help Hillary. Considering that Texas deadline has passed and other states are looming ahead, this very well could be to sabotage Trump and hand Hillary the Presidency. At least, that the way I see it, not a very serious attempt to win the Presidency but preserve the dignity () of the GOP.

Edit: Hillary a bit?, it's going to be a YOOJ help to Hillary ice and better keep your fingers crossed.

Trump has been leaning toward wingnuts, and they are not the swing votes.

Nonsense. Everything wrong in the world is your fault.

Thanks for the irony, I have some wrinkled sheets for white pride day to flatten.

Old White Farts United recommends permanent press, but doesn't believe in telling members how to dress their beds.

Now for the site Daily Kos, here is something interesting.

Dear readers,

Today I decided to quit Daily Kos.

I was very disappointed at Markos Moulitsas (Kos) who suggested that writers should not criticize Hillary Clinton or her policies because Bernie Sanders is not likely to be nominated. While I strongly believe that Hillary Clinton would always be a stronger candidate than Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, the idea that Markos Moulitsas would demand that writers should not be allowed to have a second opinion is not acceptable in my view.

Hillary does not have a Bernie problem, primaries are almost over. But...she will have a Hillary problem to deal with and no one can help her there except a third party/conservative candidate.

I suspect that Hillary will garner quite a few moderate republican votes, after all she is the perfect republican candidate.
