And we've got Harry Reid saying "the field is clear for Hillary."

The wife of the man responsible for deregulating wall street & telecommunications, NAFTA, gutting welfare, linking CEO pay with stock performance, making China a PNTR, privatization of federal programs(ie, prisons). Even less well known things he did like expanding Reagan's rule placing a dollar value on human lives & pitting it against potential company profits( Executive Order 12866)...basically, almost everything wrong with our country today can be traced back to his administration...and now we're making his wife the presumed "Democratic' nominee.

When this happens, & it most probably will, for me this means that I'll have to stop identifying with & referring to myself as a Democrat. The party left me. I'll be a Populist Progressive with no representative party. "FDR Dem" will have to be replaced with "FDR Populist" I guess.
