I'm going to refer to my new spokesperson Tommy Lee Jones as it pertains to the recent DNC kerfuffle

Maybe I would care in different circumstances, but all things considered. Sorry. I don't.

Sanders is still endorsing Hillary Clinton. The person who appears to have the blame thrust upon her shoulders (rightfully or not)--DWS--is already on her way out. We have on one hand an experienced, capable and qualified Presidential and Vice Presidential nominee, and on the other hand, a literally insane proto-fascist without a single day of public service experience in his life.

We have a convention and maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's going to be great with some absolutely phenomenal speakers. (Although sadly no Scott Baio. Welp!)

So, no, right now, I just don't care. Tell you what. I'll care at the next DNC general convention in 2017, but right now these are minnows to fry compared to the great white shark that is Donald Trump.

Not that you need me to be cool with your choices. Just thought I'd let you know I am cool with this one, though.

Bad ass who will do the often uggly things required by the job; who will not stop until the job is done or the term over.

Clinton is the best available applicant for that job.

The President is not a baby setter or a social director in a mad house.
