exactly

With Hill we get stability. Hopefully a left leaning court, finally! This is likley what will decide my vote.

I want more. Much more.

This is why I can't jump on the Hill band wagon. 4 years of Bill and Hill drama.

I will say this, if Trump does blow this she will not be a two term president.

You will interpret anything said as confirming your view.



This place is special.... have a good day.


Because your own words verify my point.

You constantly post condescendingly to others regarding their bias and you refuse to admit your own.

Then, when you are called on it you try to joke it off as if you couldn't possibly be wrong.


You have expressed a desire for honest dialog and debate and yet, you don't do your part to reach that end.

While I agree with you on the premise of your post, Hills and Drumpf is what we got and we have to work with what we got. I don't know why better qualified candidates do not run unless the two parties who completely control the nominating process have made it impossible. So whether we like it or not the dialog is Hillary vs. Trump. I think the DNC has been on a mission coronating Hillary and that reading Hillary's platform will put someone to sleep.

Here's a link to a 10-minute portion of Warren's speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1Mrfu4yE-w

Care to give an example, with time ref, of ANYTHING that is as 'ridiculous' as what Donald says? I call FALSE EQUIVALENCY.

Warren does a fine job roasting the Donald, but I like the redirect to the Mission that begins at 8:38.

If you can't see the absurdity you can't see the absurdity.

It made me laugh.

Better qualified than Hill? Few are.

Better qualified than Trump? Many are and ran. 17 others were more qualified that ran. They were rejected.

They aren't rational defenses--but they don't have to be.

I love that line.

I might use it for my signature.

Dude Hillary has won more states than Sanders, and more people have voted for her. Period. That is why she is in the lead.

Many of your posts imply that the system is corrupt. It really isn't. The damage that Trump and to some extent Sanders is doing to the integrity of our democratic system by trying to instill the notion that it is corrupt is a danger to our Republic.

This is the same system that gave us Theodore Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Carter, Clinton and Obama. It is not perfect. But in comparison to other nations both now and in recent history it has done a fairly good job.
Individuals in the voting booth are picking the candidates.
