2. Jon speaks the truth, even if the Hillary supporters don't see it.

I wonder if he is now on their ever growing hate list--or banned from the Hillary Group.

3. That's exactly why it so difficult to believe their sincerity in supporting her.

WHAT is it that they're supporting? She changes depending on the state, country, & audience.

Jon would definitely be persona non grata in the HRC group. But you know, I'd like to think he's like me & would have to much class to even want to venture into that cesspool. lol

......The video that really woke me up about her was this one, where she is in India saying something that sounds very authentic to her core beliefs & that which she would NEVER EVER say in this country with cameras rolling~



I've never seen her in the US sounding so true. It always sounds scripted & coached when she speaks here. She's a living mask.

Everything she said is true but we need to stop the practice so we can bring the jobs back home. We can do this by making it just as costly to make a product or provide a service outside of this country through tariffs and tax incentives as it would be to just make or provide it here at home.. Clinton was merely stating what is.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"Shape shifting" is the OP's words. "Shape shifting" is usually attributed with whitchcraft. can we reign in the insults just a little bit?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 12, 2016, 09:25 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Term has been used before to describe many pols, not just HRC.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is what he said. I saw it.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh dear dog! What a stupid alert! 'Shape shifting' is typically viewed as the ability to physically transform into another being or form and has more of an association with mythology than witchcraft. And what's wrong with witchcraft anyway? I personally prefer any form of paganism to the dumb ass religion most Americans practice whereby all must bow down to an invisible, magic sky daddy. The thinly-veiled partisan alerts on DU are pathetic.

Esp Juror #7!!! Witchcraft always gets dissed as something bad. Wiccan is honoring nature & harnessing the energy for good.

could lose it for us due to all the Hillary hate that has mounted for years. A whole different attitude develops when one is a multimillionaire, hanging with other multimillionaires and accepting huge contributions from them. Is she more focused on their needs and issues than she is with the poor and middle class? How can any democrat oppose what Bernie supporting?

BTW... besides regulating donations made to candidates we need to pass legislation that makes it illegal to profiteer from our democratic elections. It's the media's gravy train and they would run it all year long if they could forcing politicians to raise the huge amounts of money they demand. No political ads until 3mos before an election. Equal free time for parties and candidates since we own the air waves and this is the fundamental process for a functioning democracy. It's the first mistake which leads to corruption when the process demands huge sums of money to run for office due to people profiteering from the process. Call it the "Free Elections bill" No more profiteering from our elections.
