It seems like some are upset that people are calling out Hillary for not understanding a simple move in dominoes. I learned you couldn't make that move by the time I was 7.

And for the record I'm not bashing Hillary for it or thinks she cheated.

Is that the way you would want to play with someone? Hillary wants to win so bad that she will do anything including cheating even in a simple game for her it is what ever it takes by hook or crook. This is nothing new she can not help her self.

one more example to pile onto the long list of instances of Hillary pandering and grabbing for any opportunity she can for a good photo up. But compared to the issues and other, more blatant and offensive examples of pandering, I don't think this is that important. But I definitely see your point, and when added to the ever-growing list of shamelessness displayed by her campaign, it paints an ugly picture.

Fear that this is somehow not really over. Sure she will probably win the nomination (not for sure, though) But Bernie and his supporters already won. Their numbers are growing. He busted through to African Americans. HIs Quixotic campaign campaign will be taken to the convention. His popularity is growing. He has stayed on message. Campaign finance reform is closer to being addressed than ever. And let's not forget that there are still two open investigations facing Hillary. She is a dirty hawk. He is loving sparrow! On to California!!!!!!

The flailing Sanders campaign seems to have only two moves remaining: ludicrous negative attacks and delegitimizing Democratic voters' decisions.

Have you heard them say anything other than that in weeks?

They're pathetic sore losers.

Tue Apr 19, 2016, 01:58 PM

It could have just been said she had a great time playing dominoes. Why claim she won? That's a lie. A truth is claiming she had a great time playing. Lie - she won. Truth - great time playing.

See, why do that? It was pointless. Was winning at dominoes supposed to give her street cred? I love a good game of dominoes, so does my 9 year old. but why make a big scene about winning, when you didn't?

Tue Apr 19, 2016, 02:57 PM
Apr 2016

Dare we place the world in the position of misplaying an obvious L-turn? Putin doesn't fool around. Ukraine was lost over a supposedly-simple game of Mumbley-Peg, in which Putin also excels (he's not internationally-rated yet, but it's just a matter of time according to intelligence reports).

Should the next president attempt such a foolish domino move (or worse still, try to cheat) there could be dire consequences.

So, poo-poo it at your peril. Just remember that a potential WWIII might depend on your vote.
