As long as we're dreaming of war crime tribunals, a case you have some personal experience with - do a little reading on Henry Cabot Lodge and the coup in Vietnam that made it our war until the end.

If she gets the nomination, a Democratic Presidency will be in serious jeopardy.

Biden has a much better chance of beating what is so far an unimpressive list of opponents.

And - Lodge was a Republican - I thought you would like that.

Although to be fair, he was an acknowledged dummy with no experience in Indochina - appointed by Kennedy as a favor and turned loose - the White House had no idea what was happening until it was over and too late.

I don't want her to get the nomination either.

I want Bernie.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to let you misogynist dickheads get away with your shit.

So, anybody who thinks Hillary isn't the best the Dem's can offer as a candidate is a hater? If the GOP wins the election, it will be such knee-jerk defense of a flawed candidate that will largely be responsible.

I wish you would argue on the facts - I know you like riding the ragged edge of disaster, but throwing hate bombs like "misogynistic" around is a bit out there.

In case you haven't noticed, I want Bernie Sanders to get the nomination.

And if Uncle Joe jumps in, he'll be my second choice.

So, you're a misogynistic hater too. Congrats.
