That makes the *best case scenario* a continued Democratic Party shedding itself of commitment to progressive principles and seeing how far right it can shift.

And that's a depressing as fuck "best case".

We will beat the orange haired, hidden extensions, comb-over hate-monger together. We will fill as many seats as we can in Congress, make great SCOTUS and other court appointments, and continue to make progress together.
It's all good. Looking forward to working together! My hat's off to you for a great campaign.

And also hold him responsible for his disgraceful and wasteful business practices once he is returned to the private sector. Trump is no good guy by any stretch of the imagination.

There's a lot of right-wing crap being repeated about her 24/7. Give her a second look. She's kind of amazing.

She's lame, and politics and usual.

At least she's not a pathologically lying racist, megalomaniac with a fragile ego who will do and say anything.

Madame President will work hard to promote a progressive agenda and keep us safe--not "politics as usual."

True, but replace "racist" with"corporatist," and "megalomaniac" with "weathervane," and you're good to go.

things for me. If she's the nominee I will vote against the Republican and then spend four years making Hillary's life difficult as possible until she examines herself and makes some very serious amends. To the Party that holds me hostage for her advantage I have no more love left, they are Reagan Democrats in charge and they are not what I'm about.
