behind Bernie.

That little tiny crowd was trying to help Bill, trying to tell him to quit but he just kept right on going. Telling BLM that they were supporting the killing of black children might be his worst gaffe yet. This:

“You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth.”


Just wow.

Sen. Clinton's qualifications have always been...shaky. She claims she was there on all the important issues everywhere, but then ducks out on the stuff that might hurt her(Superpredators, IWR, etc.) and says she had nothing to do with it.

It puts huge holes in what is supposed to be her strongest attribute. I give her an A+ for situationally exploiting issues for political gain, but that makes you a Newt Gingrich, not a leader. Worse, she gets an F for empathy. How are we supposed to believe that she is going to make things better for normal people when she doesn't even like them?

...and we are entitled to our opinions, and in my opinion, getting in bed with the Third Way and taking millions from Wall Street means you are not qualified. And her foreign policy judgement and linkage with Clinton Foundation donations makes her unqualified.

however both Bernie and Hillary are sane human beings as opposed to the nutjob brigade the Republicans have.

I'm not sure who is more frightening and dumb - Cruz supporters or Trump supporters. A decade ago both of those nincompoops would not be qualifying for office, they would be evaluated for which wing of the psyche ward to place them in.

Incredible -- two videos today posted where HRC cackles, her new anger management technique in campaigning. She can avoid answering questions to those pesky young people asking her about fracking by laughing and asking them to do their research. (Appalling)

Third Way shenanigans are what is ruining the Democratic Party. She is a Third Way candidate. The gaslighting of those that run against them, the triangulation, the Clinton Foundation, Bill's antics today .... just sick of them already. Independents and Republicans are not going to want to put those two back in the White House.

... is also the 50th consecutive week that she and her supporters have been characterized as desperate, worried, terrified, nervous, petrified, and/or totally losing it.

It is also the 50th consecutive week that HRC's campaign has been characterized as imploding, flailing, coming unglued, and/or teetering on the edge of complete collapse.

In the meantime, Hillary has more votes, more delegates, and more super-delegates, and is still the front-runner with an insurmountable lead.

That worry that's "wafting" is probably emanating from the puddle of flop-sweat the Bernie campaign is standing in.

in the race to the Presidency, with every imaginable advantage, then throw it all away again.

I'm not sure what is necessary to illustrate that she is a flawed candidate, and anyone trying to make it about the fact that she is not a male is singing a very off-note key.

She's a flawed candidate because she can't stop changing her political ideals on a dime, every day, can't stop telling lies, and has a history of bad judgment that got women, children and innocent care givers murdered.

That is my problem with her. Her ovaries aren't involved.
