Means nothing. She lives in the state of NY so that makes her an almost native. So who did they select in 2008? Hint, not Obama.

It's not 'YOOOOOGE'?

Oh well... I'm sure Mo' Dowd will be along shortly to grind Hillary into a greasy smudge on the sidewalk in front of the Times building.

Here's how I feel.

Hillary Clinton has been, either directly or obliquely, involved in a significant number of messy affairs. To be honest, that doesn't bother me as any leader whom I respect has been involved in a myriad of things that may have been ugly sausage making. In many ways that's what leadership is and a career spanning to the early 1970s is going to possess its share, especially when the light is shined on a couple and not merely an individual. It's only the enhanced scrutiny and media bombardment that, at times, makes Hillary seem unique in this fashion and nothing more. If folks don't want to vote for her, that's fine, but I'd not get off the bus due to pseudo scandal. Find something real, like a better Democratic candidate. (I do not believe there is one.)

Is that necessarily knocking Bernie? No. I like the guy. I like some of his ideas. I do not discredit his followers -- well, those who think -- nor am I immune to the true passion and fervor he exudes regarding a personal philosophy. The problem for this voter is that not enough of Senator Sanders's philosophy is MY philosophy. He should have caught me in 1992. Today, I anticipate voting for the more pragmatic wife of the guy who did.

This is from Al Jazeera and who cares if they are shutting down their US operations soon.

For Democratic pragmatists, Sanders is the better choice

Quote:
Clinton is telling Democratic voters that she knows they like Sanders more but that they should vote for her anyway. And they should do so because, though she lacks the aesthetic appeal she grants him, she is a no-nonsense pragmatist who would get things done. “If you can’t get excited, be pragmatic,” she said. Influential liberals such as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman are much taken by her “hardheaded realism.”

I just can't take any piece seriously that includes the words Clinton and "disqualifying."

That's screwed up Rubio-speak.

Well look at it this way at least Hillary's e-mails did not wind up in wikileaks.

I'm still waiting for proof that her server was hacked by anyone.

Looks like her server was better than the one OPM put all of my personal information on during my last
background check.
