Just lower the bar for Hillary for five minutes in a couple months. That is all we ask. Please.

This has become the stock in trade of the Clinton supporters here. Any time someone criticizes or speaks ill of Hillary, the default response is to mock the poster rather than to respond to the post's content. It makes me think that the Hillary fans here feel that they're on shaky ground when it comes to responding substantively to criticism of their candidate.

If he plays his cards right she might appoint him Ambassador to Libya.

Oh come on John lighten up. Hillary thanks to folks like Richard Mellon Scaife has been accused of a lot of things and even though they appointed known biased prosecutors to her case the never got a grand jury to indict. I was under the impression that here we consider a person innocent until proven guilty - guess that does not apply since she is a woman. consiidering the sort of crap that has been thrown her way I would have set up a private e-mail server myself. What substantive criticism?

In two years I'll bet ol' Bern will be playing Canasta with Al Gore in the Robert Mondale Home for the Politically Insignificant.

Congressman Ellison endorses Clinton. Will Nina Turner be next?

I'm not talking about Scaife's witch hunt. There are plenty of other reasons, real ones, for not liking Hillary.

Trump is ahead in Florida and Pennsylvania and tied in Ohio. The Hillary's popularity at work and feel free to slam me for Hillary bashing.

Trump pulls just ahead in two key U.S. states: poll
