candidate would be one scintilla different.

A GOP White House at this time will be the end of life as we know it, and possibly the end of life, period.

"Wild-eyed" is a bit harsh, but, at her core, she's far left.

Trump is a liberal gone xenophobic.

The Sanders crowd believes that they have the corner on progressive thinking, but they do not. They have simply redefined "progressive" to describe Sanders and themselves.

HRC has been active and open in her progressive attitudes while Sanders has been hiding in the corner as an Independent or Democratic Socialist.

I have NEVER seen her as "far left", maybe center left at best.

Please explain the far left comment.

We know what your definition of "left" is: "everything we think and do."

So you're saying she's a communist at her core ?

Ok, you don't want to discuss it. Far left is NOT Hillary Clinton, by a long shot.

Good day.

pretty progressive-not by the standards of the Socialist Party I'm sure but I'm a Democrat not a Socialist so I don't give a damn where she ranks among Socialists or Communist on the left for that matter

Is no one thinking about the fact if the cruzinator gets anywhere near the WH
that he is just crazy enough to put ol crazy glen beck in as SOS or DHS head ?

The crazy is strong in the cruz kamp.

First guy: "The problem with Obama is that he's too goddamn liberal."

Second guy: "And Hillary! She's even more liberal than he is."

My response: I am actually delighted that two people (successful, professional white males in their sixties) judge our candidates not on their skin color or sex organs but on their ideology.

Call me an optimist, but I think that's awesome.

That is to say, Obama was even more liberal (or "radical", as my late Bircher-esque grandfather would say) than Hillary.

The timing seem suspicious to me...
