djean, may I say again how much I value your brilliant posts? merrily Aug 2015 #7

That was known to be a hallmark of the Republicans (the idea of establishing turns) Babel_17 Aug 2015 #37

I don't know why we adopted that strategy after McCain and Romney lost the general. merrily Aug 2015 #41

Only a few weeks ago the DU meme was that Sanders didn't have ENOUGH money arcane1 Aug 2015 #42

In fairness, that's two different pots of money. One is campaign funds and the other is personal merrily Aug 2015 #43

No, seriously, there was an OP that said his personal finances are too low to be president. arcane1 Aug 2015 #46

That poster would really be upset if Bernie were to be President for 8 years and leave A Simple Game Aug 2015 #63

$21.5 MILLION: Hillary's Net Worth TBF Aug 2015 #24

And, if she runs out, her husband will share. In 2008, their assets were $110 million, IIRC. merrily Aug 2015 #79

Wowza, I thought that WAS combined income. TBF Aug 2015 #81

If it is combined, they didn't manage the fortune they had in 2008 very well. merrily Aug 2015 #82

The main reason that Obama won was that people felt they could "HOPE" he would be better... cascadiance Aug 2015 #85

To be fair, there was change. He was NOT Bush's third term. merrily Aug 2015 #87

And that fear card is always played on us to avoid a change being made to the Democrats... cascadiance Aug 2015 #89

That was no fear card. It was a statement about Obama. merrily Aug 2015 #91

Yes, many of us pragmatically voted for Obama in that instance... cascadiance Aug 2015 #92

I was totally gung ho in 2008. I was pragmatic in 2012. merrily Aug 2015 #93

WTF? merrily Aug 2015 #16

I think (but am not certain) that what is meant is that the only reason ANYONE would say djean111 Aug 2015 #33

Yes, I got that. But how the fuck is that an appropriate post for this group? merrily Aug 2015 #34

Look at the post count. It is a typical defecate and run post. Very typical. n/t djean111 Aug 2015 #35
