Hillary Clinton has a huge lead in Iowa and is a heavy favorite.

If Bernie pulls out any kind of win it will be the most miraculous political upset in the history of the United States. If he loses by anything less than 20 points digits it will be a moral victory.

And the "moral victory" apologism begins.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for the billionaires.

Quote:
George Soros in December donated $6 million to the leading super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, marking the return of the billionaire financier as among the biggest givers in all of American politics.

The massive check brings to $8 million the Hungarian-born investor's total 2015 giving to pro-Clinton groups.

"And speaking of aliens …
"I assume most of you are not space aliens," said astronaut Mark Kelly, who'd come along to Ames with his wife, former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, to stump with Hillary Rodham Clinton. "As for the rest of you, I come in peace."

Something I learned in College.

Ray Graves was the head football coach at U of F when I went there.

Before every game he would piss and moan about the great advertises that the Gators were facing in the upcoming game. It got so bad that he got nicknamed "Coach Grieves".

This does it for me.

There is no way I am voting for this bitch if she gets the nomination. I'll go third party. And as for Chris Matthews, he can eat shit and die.

I think she is running scared already. This comment from the interview really gets me and this is not the first time she is talking about "her accomplishments". Where? What?

But I want folks to just stop and think, no matter what age you are, OK, we agree on getting the economy going. We agree on raising income. We agree on combatting climate change. We agree on universal health-care. Who has the track record? Who's got things done? Who can actually produce the results you want for you and your family, and for our country?
She carpetbagged into getting elected as a Senator from NY, lost the primary to Obama, got a consolation job as Secy. of State where she totally screwed up by using a personal non-secured email server. This alone was very dumb, she should have known better and had the resources, yet she played it like an ignorant amateur.

I just cannot respect this woman.
