... but this is absolutely, hands-down, without qualification and/or hesitation, one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen posted on this site.

I'm not saying it's the lamest attempt at serious political analysis - but it's definitely in the Top Ten.

"Reality must be looked at in the eye." And the reality is that HRC is still the Dem frontrunner, and that's not about to change.

That now-famous "baggage" she carries is the support of millions of voters - and, Jesus Hussein Christ, I hope she can handle the load, because it's pretty damned heavy.

I don't know who's dumber - the author of this bullshit, or the people who buy it.
