NEWS FLASH: Hillary is not nominated [View all]

God willing she never will be.

The fucking arrogance of the Clintonites is incredible. We went through this bullshit in the runup to 2008. Anyone remember how that went?

We must do better. Let's not pick a republican-light, just because she's a female candidate.

It's not her "turn". It's America's turn. What's best for America and what's best for HRC are not one and the same.

Here are two LawDeeDah Jan 2015 #13

Why is it that almost every time I ask that question MannyGoldstein Jan 2015 #14

Because DUers know you, Manny, and we know that you're not interested in any accomplishments BlueCaliDem Jan 2015 #24
