Please leave Hillary alone. She is a private citizen and has a right to speak her mind. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #1
Everyone has a right to speak their mind. Doesn't mean it is always wise to do so. scheming daemons Nov 2019 #3
That is your opinion. Gabbard was and will continue to be disruptive...nothing to do with Hillary. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #8
I agree with scheming daemons 100% (nt) Teach-only-love Nov 2019 #55
No. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2019 #5
Yes! Gabbard is behaving like a spoiled toddler! Hillary made one comment and she makes dozens Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #16

telling the truth is never wrong, even if there is blowback. mopinko Nov 2019 #4
Could've waited until after Gabbard failed to qualify for debates.... scheming daemons Nov 2019 #7
and instead, the puppet will dance on the stage, and all will see her strings. mopinko Nov 2019 #9
And millions who would've had no idea who she was will now get to hear her scheming daemons Nov 2019 #11
again, the truth is always good. mopinko Nov 2019 #13
She was looking for votes on the right appearing on all those rightie shows...she is not stupid and Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #10
I agree. Open primaries are stupid. Dems *ONLY* should get to pick our nominee. scheming daemons Nov 2019 #12
Ohio has open primaries too and I hate it. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #14
Mississippi does too. LuvNewcastle Nov 2019 #30
I have done that before. Why not? What is good for the goose is... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #33
I have mixed feelings on that topic. Yes, I understand where you are coming from. totodeinhere Nov 2019 #56
Neither side should be able to ratf*ck the other side. scheming daemons Nov 2019 #61
NH does not allow "anyone to vote in the primaries". Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #27
And any Republican can vote in any primary...so it allows them to make mischief...blame this system Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #34
Again: registered Republicans and registered Democrats Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #36
And you can change your party or become unaffiliated...easy peasy and than participate. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #40
No actually you can't do that at the poll. Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #43
So you do it before the polls...they have plenty of time as Trump will not have a primary...remember Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #44

Yes, I guess she figures that a well paying gig as a Fox News contributor totodeinhere Nov 2019 #57
I love the unfiltered Hillary. I hope she keeps up the honest comradebillyboy Nov 2019 #21
Also, I love how Clinton is already made the scapegoat Hav Nov 2019 #22
I think Gabbard would've run third party regardless.... scheming daemons Nov 2019 #24
Qualifying for the Dem debates is such a non-issue Hav Nov 2019 #26
It's not a non-issue that she brought a top tier candidate down, right on the debate stage, and that Skya Rhen Nov 2019 #39
You have a point. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #41
I disagree. stopdiggin Nov 2019 #28

It's funny everyone else is focusing on Trump while Tulsi has Hillary living rent-free in her head Otto Lidenbrock Nov 2019 #35
Oh for fuck's sake. MrsCoffee Nov 2019 #49
Yep. All she did was ensure Tulsi stays in the news cycle longer, redqueen Nov 2019 #37
No, the Hillary haters seem to have no qualms showing it. MrsCoffee Nov 2019 #50
However deluded they are and however much others hate them for hating Hillary redqueen Nov 2019 #58

Other than in New Hampshire, you have no evidence of her surge Xandric77 Nov 2019 #42
I will never get why she did it Tipperary Nov 2019 #46
I'm sure it was well intentioned, but yes she elevated Gabbard. aikoaiko Nov 2019 #47
Pfffffff. MrsCoffee Nov 2019 #48

You think that endlessly writing stuff about her on social media doesn't Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #54
Yes, she had zero qualifying polls for the November debate,let alone the harder to make December one Celerity Nov 2019 #64
Really hard to understand why some don't want to acknowledge this. redqueen Nov 2019 #67
I thought so at first, but it actually pre-empted Gabbard maximusveritas Nov 2019 #65
If I were Hillary I'd hold my fire until all this comes to pass...then watch the fuck out UniteFightBack Nov 2019 #66
